I just bought this pattern, hoping to be able to create something nice out of it…But no. I don't know if it is the language, since english is not my language, or if the instructions are really difficult to understand. Someone know where to attach the ribbon? (I know, I must be really stupid…:) )

I ended up giving up with the bow.
I think that you are meant to insert it in the side seam when you sew that up.
I couldn't even be certain which pattern piece I was meant to use, because the only one that seemed to be right was REALLY big and the pattern (as far as I can recall) said to cut two, not four (for two ties with two sides).
I think it looks good without the bow though!

I am in the middle of trying to make this. I am so frustrated. The instructions and abominable. I have no idea how I am meant to attach the bow and it even took me ages to figure out which pattern piece I was meant to use. I think Burda come up with some nice stuff, but sewing is not meant to be this necessarily frustrating.

Have you figured out where to attach the ribbon/bow? I have the same problem…

How much fabric is needed for the dress?
Jan 23, 2010, 07.08 AMby robynemde
I love all the sassy ladies on this site :0) But the skirt is pretty darn cute, so I'll still probably buy the pattern despite the extremely valid remarks.
Dec 18, 2009, 01.32 AMby captaindalyn
Very Chic, I love it.
Dec 18, 2009, 12.57 AMby couturecutie
Cute. I just made something like that though…. without a pattern……
Dec 16, 2009, 09.36 PMby wunderlicht
Who didn't want to tie a skirt directly below the bust? and pay 7.50 for the pattern…
Dec 16, 2009, 09.04 AMby barkcloth
Sorry Burda Style, you didn't convince me that this is a variation. To me it still looks like a basic skirt pattern with a bow that I can make myself. Not for $7.50, oh no.
Dec 15, 2009, 10.08 PMby sigrid
I still would like to see the technical drawing for all the variations so as to make an informed decision about whether to purchase the pattern. I can't imagine buying a paper copy without seeing all the views, so why should a download be any different? By the way, the new web design with the tab for the drawing is a greatly appreciated improvement.
Dec 15, 2009, 07.51 PMby crimson
I think is a nice variation and since I didn't buy the other one I think its worth to pay the 7.50 Maybe later they can create the UPDATE YOUR PATTERN option for less money, or a B site without variations and pictures, and post either, you wont need it. But for now I appreciate this! with the bow!
Dec 15, 2009, 01.47 PMby ghainskom
Based on the technical drawing, I'd say the only difference is the bow. That can barely be called a variation, can it? Seems to me like you could've published the skirt A as a pattern and this bow belt as a how-to, really. I also wonder why this pattern goes up to size 46 when the variation A stops at 44? I like the fabric on this one.
Dec 15, 2009, 10.51 AMby ivorynoire
Oh, now I understand why the Kiki dress didn't show any of the variations! They'll be added as new projects in the coming weeks…
I like the skirt though but I do agree, it's quite a small variation.
Dec 14, 2009, 06.56 PMby elaine-bin
Lovely skirt design, I especially like the style with the bow
Dec 14, 2009, 06.49 PMby nenasew
Love the skirt. I think its very versatile pattern. These pictures are a riot. I have never ever seen a girl dressed like bowling.
Dec 14, 2009, 06.08 PMby barbaraagatha
Oh YES! Now that I see that the version B is EXACTLY like version A, but has a big ass bow around the waist, I totally see how someone would pay $7.50 for three different variations of the same skirt. It makes sense now.
Yet, why do I feel compelled to make my own and simply add a bow?!

It DOES make perfect sense. Instead of an hour drafting a pattern yourself, you can spend an hour printing out the pattern, sticking all the pieces of paper together, and then cutting out all the pattern pieces!
Dec 14, 2009, 07.41 PMby chelsesaurusrex
Yeah….I'll be saving my 7.50 for fabric.
Dec 15, 2009, 01.16 AMby starryeyes11
Yeah, I am not entirely sure how this really qualifies as a variation … Adding a tie bow at the waist is not exactly a big difference from the original pattern …
Dec 15, 2009, 07.32 AMby victors
It's very similar to the Sidonie variation 1, minus the bottom frill.
Dec 15, 2009, 08.49 AMby barbaraagatha
Now I wish to understand why Jodika comment was marked as innapropriate…
I agree with her. And she also made me laugh. :D
Dec 15, 2009, 09.35 AMby alanagrace
Jodika made me laugh too. So true. Why would you pay for all that pain and effort of buying the pattern? And why is saying that inappropriate?
Dec 15, 2009, 10.15 PMby kat21
I totally agree with you and Jodika. I have been waiting for this variation to come out thinking it would be something amazingly different. A bow is something you could probably add to a skirt without an actual pattern for the bow. Its pretty much just a sash!
Dec 15, 2009, 10.33 PMby sarsaparilla
I agree too… it's a really beautiful pattern but I could get something very similar (and cheaper!) from my fabric store without all the hassle of piecing the pages together :S
Dec 15, 2009, 10.57 PMby Jodi Wade
I just thought it was a bit over priced for what it is… I live in Hungary so $7.50 is about 2 hours pay for me (!! Yes, it shocks me too). It doesn't make sense for me to pay so much for a basic pencil skirt pattern. Working here kind of colours my vision… When I lived in wealthier countries I didn't really mind paying quite a bit for a nice pattern.
Dec 14, 2009, 04.52 PMby lunatepetal
love this version with the bow :)
Dec 14, 2009, 04.49 PMby ichigogirl
I imigine there will be a few of these around having christmas dinner this year, it's very nice! And I think it's inspired me to add an optional tie-belt to my christmas dress, thank you!
Dec 14, 2009, 04.08 PMby kallers
Holy moly, that's a high slit! Maybe not the best bowling attire, but very cute!
Dec 14, 2009, 04.02 PMby Ana B
I still want this pattern. I like this variation also; very cute; great to wear at the office. It is just too small for my body type (not so small.) Still contemplating… one of two things… either I learn to adjust the pattern… or I wait till I lose the next 20 lbs. and award myself…. decisions..decisions..decisions.

Big 2nd half lifts Southington over Fairfield Prep in Class LL football final
WEST HAVEN -- Down 14 points at halftime in pursuit of a long-awaited state title Thursday, Southington quarterback Stephen Barmore stayed composed in the pocket.
The Yale-bound signal-caller picked apart Fairfield Prep's defense, connecting regularly with his favorite target, junior Alex Jamele.
The Jesuits -- in their first final in 25 years thanks in part to a unit that out-muscled opposing offenses -- couldn't find a way to stop him.
On the strength of a 38-point second half, No. 4 Southington rallied past No. 7 Fairfield Prep 52-34 in the Class LL championship at Ken Strong Stadium.
"They started pouring it on," Prep coach Tom Shea said, "and it seemed like there was just one extra guy we couldn't block each time."
Southington finished 12-1 after the much-anticipated game, while Prep dropped to 11-3. Originally scheduled to be played last Saturday at Central Connecticut State, last weekend's snowstorm forced the CIAC to postpone the game three times.
Jamele gashed Prep in the second half, hauling in three of Barmore's four scoring passes. His first two scores -- a 60-yard run-and-catch and a 4-yard score -- helped Southington rally from 14 points down to tie it 28-28 in the third quarter.
"He can run every route, he can catch every ball. After the catch, he's dynamic," Southington coach Mike Drury said of Jamele, who caught 10 passes for 230 yards. "He's not only quick and elusive, but he's a very strong, physical kid."
Dominating the line on both sides of the ball, Southington outscored Prep by 32 points in the second half to collect its second title and first since 1998. Prep dropped to 3-2 all-time in the state finals.
"They just beat us," said Prep's Nick Crowle, who led all rushers with 178 yards and two touchdowns. "There's no good explanation for what happened other than they just beat us at our own game."
Entering Thursday, the Jesuits' game consisted of a punishing ground game, a big-play passing attack and an oportunistic defense. The Jesuits featured a little bit of each against Southington, but not enough.
Quarterback Colton Smith rushed for 163 yards and two scores, propelling Prep to a 28-14 halftime lead. But, he also tossed four interceptions, nearly matching the six he threw in the previous 12 games.
Barmore intercepted Smith (8-for-24, 120 yards) twice, the second of which he returned 67 yards for a touchdown with 2:04 left to cap the scoring.
"We make adjustments at halftime and we usually shut teams down in the second half, or whatever they've been exploiting in the first half," Barmore said. "There was no doubt in my mind that this was going to be the result."
Southington made plenty of timely adjustments on offense as well. Outgained 152-39 in the first half, it piled up 288 yards over the final two quarters to thump the Jesuits. Barmore completed 22-of-33 passes for 346 yards.
"We were calm going into halftime because we knew what we're capable of doing," Barmore said, referring to an offense that averaged 49 points in its three playoff wins.
After Crowle's 7-yard run put Prep back ahead 34-31 with 9:52 left, Southington marched 66 yards in seven plays to regain the lead for good. Barmore's 7-yard strike to Jasen Rose made it 38-34 with 8:11 left.
The 6-foot-3, 246-pound Crowle, who will join Barmore next fall at Yale, pounded the Blue Knights for 128 yards on 13 carries in the first half. His 53-yard run gave the Jesuits a 21-7 lead just 61 seconds into the second quarter.
But, like the rest of the Jesuits' offense, Crowle was limited in the second half. He received 13 carries again, this time for only 50 yards.
"It was more a case of just not getting the job done," Shea said. "They might've had some people hitting different gaps, but we didn't block them. We didn't block them.
"Every time it's a bunch of one-on-one plays, and we didn't win as many as we should've."
John DelliSanti led Prep's receivers with 104 yards and one touchdown on four catches.

A Serene Oasis for Baby Maxwell
Name: Maxwell (5 months)
Location: Brooklyn, New York
|We put this nursery together when I was 5 months pregnant and still feeling good and full of energy. I was inspired by the realistic looking Hansa stuffed animals and Sharon Montrose's baby animal photographs. I wanted Max to have his own little oasis surrounded by animals and different textures.
I had such a hard time choosing a rocking chair. We decided that with a baby on the way, shelling out over $1,000 for a chair was a bit much so I searched for a comfortable, yet more affordable chair. I wasn't crazy about the sleigh gliders but found this inexpensive one in all white and it was comfortable! I covered it with sheepskin which gives it a lot more softness and character. This became my favorite place in the house to sit even before Max was born.
I made the mobile over the crib because I could not find a mobile that seemed just right for the room. This one ended up being perfect and it makes me so happy to see Max playing with it.
I turned an old wooden milk crate on top of the radiator into a curio shelf for Max. We collected little things that could fit in the compartments as soon as we found out I was pregnant: sea shells from Venice Beach, a small rock from our baby-moon upstate, and any other little bits and pieces that tell little stories about us as we waited in excited anticipation for Max's arrival.
Lovely! Thanks, Rachel!

Thanks for the update! Sorry things haven't improved...but you're hanging in there! It really sounds like he (and you!) would do better if you could wear him around a bit. I mean, I know the ultimate goal is to be able to set him down for a few minutes, but if you're carrying him around all day anyways, you might as well find something that lets you be hands-free.
There are wraps and carriers. Everyone (and every baby) is different, but I always preferred carriers, even for newborns. It just seemed easier to plop them in and take them out easily when necessary, without a lot of wrapping and adjusting. There's are some websites where you can "rent" them - just to try different ones for a little while and see what works best, so you don't waste a lot of money. FWIW, I LOVE my Boba carrier. I had my newborn in there without any sort of special insert or something. I'm sure I used it when she was just a few weeks old. Even with her floppy head, it kept her in there nice and snug. Ring slings can be good, too. Just some thoughts. I wish I had some magic answers for you!
I'm sure others will chime in, but it sounds like his weight gain is just fine!

LONDON (AP) - Britain's Guardian newspaper says that the U.K.'s signals intelligence branch is stealing screen shots from hundreds of thousands of Yahoo users' webcam videos, including a massive haul of intimate photographs.
The newspaper said GCHQ has been scooping up the sensitive data by intercepting video chats such as the kind offered by Yahoo Messenger, an effort code named OPTIC NERVE.
The total number of Yahoo users spied on in this way isn't made clear in the Guardian's report, but the paper said that in one six-month period in 2008 GCHQ hacked the video communications of nearly 2 million users.
Yahoo said in a statement that the report, if true, "represents a whole new level of violation of our users' privacy."
GCHQ and the NSA did not immediately return emails seeking comment Thursday.

Convenience in life, no matter how big or small is a great thing and with the LockState Connect LS-90i Wi-Fi Touch Screen Thermostat regulating the temperature of a home has never been easier. This internet enabled thermostat can be controlled anywhere in the world from a tablet, Smartphone, laptop or computer as long as there is a valid internet connection. Being able to control this thermostat remotely via the internet also makes it an ideal choice for use with rental properties and additional homes. Owners of rental properties can now have further control by setting heating and cooling programs that will save energy and monitor if settings are being adjusted or abused. Rental property owners also have the convenience of activating the thermostat for their guests, or themselves, just prior to arrival rather than allowing the thermostat to run when vacant. The Wi-Fi Touch Screen Thermostat can also be setup to send alerts to notify when specified settings are either met or exceeded for further control. This will let you know if the device is being adjusted when it shouldn't be or if there is a problem. Being alerted right away to a potential air-flow issue allows for it to be tended to quickly rather than letting the thermostat overcompensate and leav a large electricity bill in its wake.
The LS-90i model Touch Screen Thermostat is compatible with nearly all HVAC systems which includes traditional furnaces and heat pumps, external air baffles, humidifiers and de-humidifiers. This model control's up to 3 stages of heating and 2 stages of cooling as well as 7-day programming for further customizing. The thermostat has a "True Auto" mode which allows it to switch automatically between cooling and heating depending upon environmental factors plus a "Save Energy" automatic setting button. The LS-90i allows for monitoring and controlling of an HVAC system based on humidity as well as temperature. The thermostat is powered by either a C-Wire (Common wire) connection, 24 VAC transformer (sold separately) or 3 AA batteries (sold separately). A Wi-Fi router with minimum B, G or N standard will also be required for installation. Available wired connections to the thermostat are C, H, B, O, W, W2, Y, Y2, RH, RC, G, A, DH and EX.
An EPA approved setting comes pre-programmed into the thermostat and is recommended for energy efficiency. Though this setting is recommended, a custom program can be easily created should it not fit desired needs.
The USNAP radio port allows for the thermostat to connect wirelessly to a network. Connection of the USNAP module is done on the backside of the thermostat and must be done with the thermostat powered-off. Follow the instructions that come with the USNAP module for connecting the LS-90i Thermostat to a network. The LS-90i Thermostat comes with two radio ports. Contact your local Power Company to find out if any programs are available to connect your thermostat to power grid status information to help make it easier to moderate energy usage at peak hours when it is more expensive.
The touch screen display is backlit and when on will display the time of day, current room temperature, fan status, message area, target temperature setting, temperature increase and decrease button, humidity percent, radio indicator, mode, home screen, power, day of the week and thermostat mode.

Review of 53279
I felt compelled to write a few words given this item has served me well and it appears a fellow Coloradan had trouble. I travel a lot and this is a great solution. When I leave, I can lower the heat and within 1 hour of my return, I crank it up via the free Apple app. I had no problem with installation. I did however, need to call customer service to clarify this does require a comm C wire. This is constant 24v power- Touch screen is relatively easy to use. Smart program wizard took me all of 5 minutes to create a weekly schedule. Looking forward to adding the Wi-Fi door lock so I can see who is coming and going.

Review of 53279
If you enjoy wasting time and being frustrated, then this is the product for you. The manuals are misleading and incomplete!
Even the simple physical installation of this device is difficult because the screw access locations are poorly located and difficult to get to. I had to leave one of teh four mounting screws out.
After spending hours installing and setting this device up the first time, it finally worked. However, I recently had to change my home network password. In turn I am currently trying to re-setup this device with absolutely no success. I am 30 minutes from writing off the $300 and replacing this with a NEST.

- What makes your small kitchen so cool:
- What makes my kitchen SO cool is that its cozy and comfortable. Given it's completely renovated doesn't hurt either ; ) It's a small kitchen but it has a window and gets a lot of light. I love waking up to that wonderful "morning glow" as the Folgers coffee theme begins my day just right :)
- Describe a challenge you've overcome or a smart resource you've found for your kitchen.:
- The biggest challenge was fitting everything into this 50 square foot kitchen while not making it seem too dark or crowded or feel even smaller. Finding the right size appliances and still getting the quality... and the look of quality in such a small space was a bit daunting. I went with an Ikea kitchen to save some money but I picked higher end appliances to help balance out the overall feel of the kitchen.
- What's your favorite meal to cook here?:
- Oh boy, I'm gonna pay for this one but I would have to say Pita Pizza! Whole wheat Pita bread with delicious tomato sauce and Mozarella. Add whatever toppings your little heart desires and in less than 15 minutes you'll have a round belly and the smile of the Grinch to match.

PINEHURST, N.C. (March 23, 2010) - The ETSU women's golf team carded a final round score of 304 to finish fourth among 18 teams in the Pinehurst Challenge Tuesday at Pinehurst No. 6.
The Buccaneers, who are currently ranked 49th nationally, finished ahead of teams such as N.C. State, East Carolina, Minnesota, Princeton, College of Charleston and James Madison, but ended the event off the pace 28th-ranked Florida State, which won the team championship.
Meanwhile, Lacey Agnew made it a sweep for the Seminoles, holding off Maryland's Christine Shimel by two strokes to take the individual title. ETSU senior Sinead O'Sullivan (Galway, Ireland) played well once again, posting the team's top individual performance by finishing tied for fourth. O'Sullivan ended the third round at 2-over-par 218 for the tournament (72-72-74=218).
"The ladies continue building their confidence this spring," said ETSU head coach Stefanie Shelton. "If we can continue posting four solid scores each round, we should have a great chance of winning our upcoming events.
"I am extremely proud of Sinead's consistency in leading the team. We want to compete hard at Ole Miss next week, and then reclaim our role as conference champions."
Along with O'Sullivan's efforts, the Bucs also got a tie for 18th from sophomore Mayte Vizcarrondo (Cadiz, Spain), while fellow sophomore Nina Muehl (Vienna, Austria) and senior Laura Jansone (Jurmala, Latvia) tied for 34th.
The Bucs will return to action April 2nd at the Rebel Intercollegiate hosted by Ole Miss. For more on ETSU women's golf throughout the spring season, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the women's golf link.

Whitecaps Rewind (Radio Highlights) In front of a crowd of 48,172, the Whitecaps showed Vancouver soccer fans that they were more than a match for their MLS visitors, despite not confirming their superiority with a winning goal. Though Galaxy star midfielder David Beckham drew most of the crowd under the dome on Wednesday evening, many of them are sure to leave with a positive feeling about their home side and the manner of their performance in front of a huge audience. As widely expected, Galaxy interim head coach Trevor James gave Beckham a start for the southern California side, with the former England captain making his Canadian debut in Vancouver as team captain. James also handed starts to former Whitecaps midfielder and Vancouver native Kevin Harmse, as well as fellow Canadian international defender Ante Jazic. USA international Landon Donovan partnered former Toronto FC forward Edson Buddle in attack, as Los Angeles played in a 4-4-2 formation. Whitecaps interim head coach Todd Wawrousek, meanwhile, started his two loan signings from the current United Soccer Leagues First Division champions Seattle Sounders. Centre back Taylor Graham and striker Roger Levesque made Vancouver's starting XI in what was also a 4-4-2 formation, with midfielder Tony Donatelli extending his consecutive games streak to 30 games with a start in midfield. Flashbulbs went off all over BC Place, as both teams posed for pre-game photos, with the Whitecaps playing in a change strip of blue shirts, white shorts, and dark socks. The Galaxy dawned their first-choice colours of all white for the friendly contest, with the enthusiastic crowd greeting the opening kickoff with the waving of complimentary towels. Though the turf surface was hard and uneven in areas, both sides did well to pass the ball and keep possession throughout the opening 45 minutes, with the Whitecaps having the majority of the goalscoring opportunities. Naturally, the big draw for the friendly was the appearance on the pitch of Beckham, and it only took him four minutes to excite the crowd when the ball came to his feet. On nine minutes, the Galaxy created a decent half chance through the tricky Donovan after he dispossessed the fleet-footed Lyle Martin. The former Bayer Leverkusen man made his way into the Whitecaps box, but his shot rolled across the face of Matt Nelson's goal. It was a rare foray forward from the visitors in the first half, as Vancouver looked more threatening at the other end. Galaxy goalkeeper Joe Cannon needed to make an assured save from Whitecaps captain Jeff Clarke's volleyed strike that went through the legs of teammate Alfredo Valente before finding the Los Angeles number one. Martin Nash was then presented with a free-kick opportunity on 13 minutes for the home side, but his set-piece was not Beckham-like, as it hit the Galaxy wall before being cleared away. Moment later, Levesque was unable to hit the target with a near-post header from Martin's cross after the fullback had surged down the right flank. To his credit, Beckham played an active role in the first half, but he found himself on the ground after losing possession in a strong tackle with Whitecaps centre back Adrian Cann on 20 minutes. A minute later, Kindel forced another save from Cannon with a low near-post drive. On 25 minutes, the far-side assistant referee gave a late offside decision on Donatelli after he latched on to Clarke's forward ball, though it looked to be a close call. Seconds later, Cannon did well to cut out a low and dangerous Martin cross from the feet of the lurking Eduardo Sebrango. The turning point of the game came on the half-hour mark, as Cannon brought Sebrango down in the Galaxy box for a penalty after the Cuban hit-man had knocked Levesque's forward pass past the onrushing goalkeeper. The crowd sensed an opening goal, but despite their expectations, Sebrango struck his spot kick straight at Cannon's diving legs before the ball was cleared away into touch. Though it remained goalless, the Galaxy still struggled to create first-half chances. The frustration seemed evident with Donovan, who earned himself a booking from referee Mauricio Navarro for a late challenge on Valente. The Whitecaps midfielder then had the chance at goal five minutes before halftime, but his effort from Kindel's pass sailed over Cannon's crossbar, as both sides went to the break tied at 0-0. Clarke himself was disappointed not to have given Whitecaps fans a victory to savour. "Saying that we held our own would be selling our efforts short," the midfielder told whitecapsfc.com. "We trained and prepared well, and we were in the right mindset. There were two or three goals in it for us there, but unfortunately, we didn't put them away." The start of the second half was delayed after the game officials were the last to get on to the pitch, despite both sides being prepared to restart. The Whitecaps introduced Joey Worthen and Jay Alberts for the second half, while midfielder Josh Tudela and goalkeeper Steve Cronin came into the game for Los Angeles. Whitecaps goalkeeper Matt Nelson did not need to make a save in the first half, but he was called on to block Buddle's fierce shot away for a corner on 51 minutes. Vancouver responded on 68 minutes with another Nash free kick. The Canadian international struck it well, but Cronin was able to secure the ball in his arms on the goal line. A minute later, Tudela had a chance for the Galaxy at the other end, but his effort flew wide. As was expected, both teams made a number of substitutions in the second half, with the crowd left disappointed when Beckham came out of the game on 72 minutes for Galaxy defender Chris Albright. Though the game ended in a draw, Beckham was happy with his run-out at BC Place. "Yeah, it was good," he told the mass of reporters after the game. "It's a shame there wasn't any goals, but we enjoyed the game. I think both teams came at each other and could have broken each other down. There was a great crowd out there and hopefully they enjoyed themselves. It's great that so many people came out and watched the game. It just seemed a shame there wasn't any goals, but I hope they enjoyed it." The 32-year-old was also impressed by the quality of soccer from the Whitecaps. "We knew that they were going to come at us and we knew that they had a few players that were pretty dangerous," Beckham said. "They pass the ball around well and, of course, you know they can play. I thought they played well tonight." Beckham felt he took a lot out of playing more than three quarters of Wednesday's game. "I was meant to really only play half the game, but I felt stronger and stronger as the first half went on and wanted to play a little bit longer," he admitted. "When it was time for me to come off, it was to give other players a chance to get out there and have a run around." Among the numerous second-half substitutes was Whitecaps striker Jason Jordan and he forced Cronin into a good save with a powerful turn and shot from the edge of the box on 79 minutes. Two minutes later, Kindel struck a wayward shot over the Galaxy crossbar before Worthen was equally off-target with a late run and shot. With a minute remaining, Whitecaps substitute Darren Spicer went just wide with a close-range shot after playing a neat give-and-go with Jordan in the Galaxy box. That proved to be the last goalscoring opportunity of the game, as both sides met at midfield following the conclusion of an entertaining stalemate. Following the match, James was complimentary of what he saw from their USL-1 hosts. "For an exhibition game, I thought it was very competitive," he told reporters. "It was a well-contested and well-spirited contest. From our point of view, it was a great game for us, and I hope it was as well for the Whitecaps. They looked a very compact unit and they've got a lot of pace on the outside. They certainly gave us a handful and all around, I was impressed with them." Wawrousek was also delighted by the performance of his side on what was a huge stage for the men's team. "I thought the boys made a very good account of themselves," he said during the post-game press conference. "We went into the game with an attitude to attack and we were quite successful, particularly in our flank play on both sides. We were able to cycle the ball around and had good balance in our play. I thought it was a great night for us against a very good opponent." The Galaxy will now move on to face another USL-1 club in the Minnesota Thunder on Sunday before heading to Australia for a game with Sydney FC on November 27 and New Zealand for a match with Wellington Phoenix on December 1. The Whitecaps will now look forward to the 2008 USL-1 season by continuing with their off-season training program over the coming winter months.

- e. the forwarding of all reports that, in the opinion of either the initial reviewer or the Office of Sponsored Research, raise or disclose an actual, potential or an apparent conflict of interest to the COI Committee for further review and recommendation.
- f. Procedures for written notification to any faculty member or other employee of the recommendations of any school or department reviewer and opportunity for response by the faculty member or employee. Such response shall be forwarded to the Office of Sponsored Research and made part of any further review by that Office and by the COI Committee.
- g. Procedures for assuring that (i) all information disclosed will be held confidential to the extent possible under the law; (ii) information will only be disclosed to those with a need to know or as a requirement of law or regulation, and (iii) information will not be part of the collection of unrelated information, such as faculty annual reports.

3. Jurisdiction.
- (i) The committee shall oversee the uniform disclosure process for the faculty (and such other members of the university community as are deemed appropriate by the COI Committee), (ii) review disclosures and develop management plans or other means for resolving actual or potential conflicts; (iii) consult with appropriate administrative officials in the development of such plans; (iv) coordinate with the campus Institutional Review Board(s) to resolve and manage conflicts of interests arising in human subjects-based research; (v) review and approve unit conflicts procedures; (vi) help conduct and support education of faculty, staff, and students on conflicts issues; and (vii) collect aggregate data for the campus regarding conflicts and provide that data to the Vice Provost for Research for compliance oversight purposes.
- a. In the performance of its duties under Section 3(a)(ii), the COI Committee may impose conditions or restrictions to manage or resolve a conflict. Such conditions or restrictions may include, but are not limited to: public disclosure of significant financial interests; monitoring of research by independent reviewers; modification of the research plan; disqualification from participation in all or part of a project in which an actual or potential conflict exists; divestiture of significant financial interests; and severance of relationships that create actual or reasonably perceived conflicts of interest.
4. Procedures.
The COI Committee shall develop, within thirty calendar days of its formation, procedures for review, disclosure and management of conflicts of interests. Those procedures shall provide for (i) written notification to the faculty member or other employee of its determinations; and (ii) opportunity for the employee to respond.
- a. All efforts shall be made to resolve conflict issues informally. If the COI Committee and a faculty member or other employee, however, fail to agree as to whether there is an actual or potential conflict, or fail to agree on a plan of disclosure and management, the final determination shall be made by the Vice Provost for Research, upon consultation with the appropriate school dean.
- b. The procedures shall provide for the maintenance of confidentiality of disclosure information consistent with the COI Policy.
- c. The COI Committee's procedures shall be presented to the Bloomington Faculty Council for immediate action. Until such time as the procedures are approved by the Bloomington Faculty Council, the procedures presented shall serve as interim procedures for purposes of resolving issues that come before the Committee.
- d. The COI Committee shall report annually to the Bloomington Faculty Council and to the Vice Provost for Research on matters within its jurisdiction.
C. Faculty Responsibilities. The following provisions shall apply to all faculty on the Bloomington Campus and may not be modified by any school's procedures: 1. All faculty members shall report annually on the forms provided by the COI Committee whether or not they have any financial conflicts of interests. This reporting requirement also applies to all other persons in the design, conduct or reporting of federally funding research or instructional projects. 2. A faculty member shall disclose in a timely manner to the appropriate school dean and to the COI Committee his or her assumption of an executive position or membership on the Board of Directors of a private entity engaged in a business that (a) is related to the research activities of such faculty member, or (b) competes with, or provides services to, the University. 3. A faculty member engaged in research shall disclose any significant financial interests he or she has that are related to such research at the time of submission of a manuscript for publication, and to any audience when presenting research results. 4. Proposed agreements with private entities (the "Sponsors") (and to which the University is not a Party) to provide consulting or collaborative research services that contain in substance one or more of the following types of provisions shall be submitted to the COI Committee for approval prior to being entered into: i. Provisions that restrict publication of research results beyond 90 days after submission to the Sponsor; ii. Provisions that restrict or limit the faculty member's ability to do other research at the University. iii. Provisions that require faculty to assign students, post-doctoral fellows or other University employees to the Sponsor's research or other projects. iv. Provisions for commitment of future intellectual property rights to the Sponsor, to the extent such commitment conflicts with the University's Intellectual Property Policy or with the publication rights of the University with respect to research. 5. With respect to any agreement brought to the COI Committee pursuant to Section C (4) above, the COI Committee shall notify the faculty member and the appropriate school dean, in writing, within 15 working days of its receipt of the proposed agreement, of its approval or its specific objections to the agreement as drafted. A copy of the notice shall also be sent to the Vice Provost for Research. If informal negotiations fail to result in an agreement satisfactory to the parties to the contract and the COI Committee, the Vice Provost of Research, in consultation with the school dean and the University Research Policy Committee, shall make a final determination as to whether to approve of the contract agreement. D. Enforcement. Instances of breach of these procedures or any school procedures adopted pursuant to this resolution of the Bloomington Faculty Council, including failure to file as required or knowingly filing an incomplete, erroneous, or misleading disclosure form; violation of the standards set forth in these procedures; or failure to comply with prescribed requirements for resolution of conflicts will be adjudicated in accordance with applicable disciplinary policies of the Bloomington campus and of Indiana University. These policies include the rights of faculty as are provided by the rules governing appeals to the Faculty Board of Review. Possible sanctions include, but are not limited to the following: a. formal admonition; b. inclusion in the faculty member's file of a letter from the appropriate dean indicating that the individual's good standing as a member of the academic community (faculty member, research scientist/scholar, professional staff, student, etc.) has been called into question. Such information can be used, for example, in establishing annual salaries and for decisions on such conditions of employment as promotion and tenure, graduate student support, etc.; c. ineligibility of the faculty member for submitting grant applications, requests for Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval, or supervision of graduate students; d. report to the Research Integrity Officer of possible research misconduct; e. nonrenewal of appointment; f.

I never turned my heat on last year and just used a space heater and a floor mat which worked just fine. This seems very suspicious that they are saying I HAVE to do this. My bill is partially shared and partially my own energy use. My bills are already extremely high (175,000 won in the summer with hardly ANY Air Con use) and I would rather not add to them. Does anyone else have any experience with this?

With that said, I've never heard of a building forcing someone to leave theirs on before; however, it might not use up that much extra gas to leave the floor heating on but turn it down to its lowest setting while you're out.

Woke up to an icicle hanging out of the bathtub spout and $200 worth of damage (apparently I got off light) to the pipes running alongside the house. If rural Japanese houses had ondol and mine was turned on, I'm sure it wouldn't have been a problem.

It�s very hard to imagine that the pipes would freeze in the floor especially in an officetel with heated apartments all around. Besides, he lives there so it can�t be that cold. The OP should figure out where the boiler is and how exposed it is? That is where you should worry about pipes freezing not in your floor. If you�ve lived in this very same place last winter than you should know if there was any problem with the pipes. Unless it gets colder than last winter don�t use it if you don�t want.

Paul from Denkiphile: "With the freshly announced Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, we feel there is enough room for speculation other possibilities of time periods Ubisoft may allow us to visit. We like that Ubisoft has created worlds based upon virtually untouched pieces of history in the realm of video games and hope they keep it that way. While there are many time periods we would like to see, there are many we wouldn't; some of them due to being referenced too many times in popular culture."
"Not only are there far too many ninja games"
Theirs not alot of ninja games, but their is a ninja series and that's about it.
"far too many ninja games" ............ no. Maybe he confused Ninja for Marine/Space Marine type of games.
no one wants references to slavery?
AFAIK, is an important theme on Liberation.
These are actually spot-on the places I wouldn't want an AC game to go. Also kind of Victorian England.

Look Book Love: French Connection, Christmas '09
Keith Richards's daughters, Alexandra and Theodora, are currently the faces of French Connection's latest ad campaign. And following suit are their festive shots for the Christmas collection. The rockin' sisters, along with two other models, can be found posing sassily in sequins (per Theodora, left), tuxedo blazers, leather, and metallics. It's a collection fit for a glam roller.

A wedding party reveller who took his friend's vehicle without his consent and began driving home without insurance has been fined.
Chesterfield magistrates' court heard on May 23 how Joshua Bennett, 25, was at a wedding celebration at Stancliffe Hall, on Whitworth Road, Darley Dale, Matlock, when he left in his friend's Range Rover without asking permission.
Prosecuting solicitor Sarah Haslam said the complainant Ryan Thomas is a friend of Bennett's and they had been at a wedding party at Stancliffe Hall.
Mrs Haslam said: "Ryan Thomas left the party and left the Range Rover with a key in the vehicle for another driver to collect on another day. About ten minutes to midnight the police came across the Range Rover and the vehicle was stopped because it was being driven erratically. This defendant provided Ryan Thomas' details but later accepted he had provided false details and was arrested."
Bennett told police that he had taken the car without consent and had attempted to drive the vehicle back to Manchester.
Bennett, of Broad Oak Lane, Manchester, pleaded guilty to driving without insurance and taking the Range Rover without the owner's consent after the incident on the A6, at Darley Dale, on April 11.
Defence solicitor John Wilford said: "Mr Bennett had been at a wedding and the owner of the vehicle left the car and he left it unsecured with the keys. Mr Bennett got in the car with a passenger and they decided to go back to Manchester and back to the person who owns the vehicle. Mr Bennett is remorseful. He says made a big mistake."
Bennett was fined £370 and ordered to pay a £37 victim surcharge and £85 costs. His licence was also endorsed with six points.

Shame on state Sen. Edith Prague of Columbia for her ghoulish, disgusting suggestion about how to punish Joshua Komisarjevsky, the second man accused of murder in the 2007 Cheshire home invasion case that took the lives of three members of Dr. William Petit's family.
Mr. Komisarjevsky's trial is in the jury-selection phase in New Haven Superior Court. His alleged accomplice, Steven Hayes, was convicted of capital crimes and sentenced to death last year.
Mrs. Prague had this to say about Mr. Komisarjevsky to the online political site CT NewsJunkie: "They should bypass the trial and take that second animal and hang him by his penis from a tree out in the middle of Main Street."
That's called "lynching," senator.
Whether a lot of your constituents agree with you is beside the point.
Lawmakers who advocate such a grisly and illegal shortcut, even in the heat of the moment, coarsen society and diminish respect for the law — and, who knows, might even prejudice some jurors.
Mrs. Prague's injudicious comments were delivered in the context of her decision not to support repeal of the death penalty. She had been inclined to support repeal but changed her mind after a recent meeting with Dr. Petit, the sole survivor of the home invasion.
We respect Sen. Prague's right to change her mind on the merits of an important issue such as repealing the death penalty.
But as someone sworn to support the law, someone who is a maker of laws, and as a leader who is supposed to be a good example, her hare-brained advocacy of lynching — even if she wasn't serious — was way over the top.

The owners of the Islands...they are Japanese, correct? The ones with the deeds?
The city of Tokyo offers to buy land out in the Sea from other Japanese land owners.
Aside from needing to figure out how to draw the line and how to police it with Tokyo police, there would only be the issue of Okinawa's government that administers those islands to contend with within the Japanese government. (Sort of like the City of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles Aqueduct and the policing it got while under contruction...or the L.A.P.D. setting up border patrols on Route 66 to keep Oakies out of California. They were pulled back under order of the State government as the California border is a bit outside Los Angeles city limits.)
And before you start pointing fingers...no, China has no say in the matter. I looked over the treaties. China's say ended a long time ago. They have no legitimate claim to the islands anymore. They can try to claim it as much as they like, but the facts are facts. The Islands are under Japan's control since 1895 while China gave up those those islands. And they might claim the treaties that ended World War II, but the territories listed were those Japan gave up claims for and those islands were not on the list. The treaty specifies places and labels the rest as "minor islands as we determine". Since it was not handed over with Formosa at war's end, it is no longer classified as part of Formosa, but instead classified as part of the Ryukyu Islands, as administred by the American government until 1972. Thus the Chinese claim is invalid within the structure of the various treaties.
Particularly the San Francisco Treaty since China did not sign it as they had a seperate peace with Japan which appearantly did nothing extra with the islands. Since the San Francisco Treaty is the Peace agreement, rather than the terms of surrender that the Potsdam Declaration was, the treaty is the one that matters and is binding. The Treaty of Taipei confirms the San Francisco Treaty (As well as adds the Spratly Islands and the Paracel Islands to the Chinese claim). And for those Chinese wanting to use this to reclaim the Daioyu Islands, Article 4 renders the Treaty of Shimonoseki void, but does not change the status of the islands as they were in US hands as part of the Ryukyu Islands, which means that they could not be returned to Taiwan nor China at that time, and by the time of the 1970s, Taiwan wasn't considered a country (officially) and Communist China was not considered an Allied nation...so they would have no more say in what lands could and could not be considered Japanese territory by way of the World War II treaties.
Basically, the mountain of treaties and administration grouping say "tough". The islands have not been considered Chinese terrotory since at least 1895 (with differences of opinion as to if they ever really were Chinese territory, part of the Ryukyu Kingdom, or just "no man's land" that defined the edge of Chinese waters). They were occupied by the United States since 1945 and formally US controlled in 1952 until handed over to the Japanese following the end of the occupation of the Ryukyu Islands in 1972, despite China's protest.
Oddly the US, while having no stance on the sovereignty of the islands, says they are under Japanese jurisdiction and thus covered by US security agreements with Japan. They have no stance because, as we have seen, it upsets the Chinese. But if shooting starts, the islands are covered by the US Seventh Fleet and other local assets.

Seriously, it's one thing to be passionate about a subject matter, it's another if all you can do is post sweeping rhetorics that does little other than to belittle and insult while contributing nothing to the actual debate. Just about all your posts I've seen so far in this thread can be condensed down to "I HATE CHINA, CHINESE PEOPLE SUCKS ASS!"

Even if it's outright offensive, they'll go right out and speak their minds.
For better or worse.
Personally I can't stand Ishihara, but he doesn't take sh!t from anyone, I'll give him that.

I dunno what is your problem with everyone who slated China's reaction, and I don't give a damn. Meanwhile, I think I've given my answer about the Japanese rightwing jerk known as Governor Ishihara. All I've sensed in your tone of your replies is that you hold something against Japan as well, and that there are a lot of members here who irked you. The Chinese people I know outside in normal life are very good people, they are the first to admit that their former country made several mistakes in their history, and say that the PRC (and the government's faithful) can go to hell if they think they can bully others and act like ungrateful brats like that.
You have the luxury of writing whatever you want behind a screen, but all you've done here is looking to pick a fight too. All I can see here is that the PRC owes a huge lot to Japan and other Western countries for helping developing their economy. All I want to hear from them is rather to say "Thank you for investing" or, otherwise, I would suggest them to re-design their economical/social system for self-sufficiency or even misery because of their way of thinking. Either way, I don't give a damn about what might irk you when the truth is spoken out.

let me state this, just a my opinion .... I don't have all of the facts on this matter... Still observing the developments
The riots in against the Japaneses companies are wrong , the rioters are being used, by the political parties there flaming the anti Japanese sentiment the government( China) could end the riots if they wanted to( Its still communist country with capitalist goals) there using the anti japan angle to their full advantage .. Its just plain wrong , i do think the rioters in the small minority, well most people i think care about there day to day necessities .... .... To be expected the other side will react too ( Japan ) .... To much lesser extent , ( expect a couple ultra nationalist , hardliners, extremist faction hot headed/ nut jobs to doing/ saying something stupid and rash ....)
The Chinese leader ship is acting like a bully to it neighbors ( Not the normal citizens) I do think there a deeper issues happening inside the communist party
The lasting thing that i want is armed conflict between those two countries ..... To only losers are the normal citizens .... I wish and hope both party settle this in civilized and calm manner .....

You know the Liberals took the current office, right?
Which sounds good in words, but unfortunately they are bunch of incompetent monkeys.
But he also got some crazy outlandish ideas that sounds like it belongs in the looney bin.
He also makes boatloads of enemies.
So overall very mixed feelings.

The Chinese government is a punk right now, I concede, by flexing their power needlessly everywhere they can after becoming a great power in Asia(if not the world), but that just mean Japan, being the sensible one, should know better than openly provoke them in an international forum and not getting any reaction. Sensible people don't provoke gang member with gun openly in real life if they don't want to get shot right? Unless if he/she want to do a gun war with said gang member, then that's another matter.
Just because a portion(can't found the number, but I'm sure it doesn't exceed 15% of the population) of China citizens decide to ignore the law and do some riot doesn't mean that all of its citizen is the same. You're entitled to your opinion, but it doesn't mean you can diss a whole country's citizen just from one example. A lot of people in that country doesn't give a damn about a small island that doesn't have anything to do with them as long as their business is not affected(which mean they actually want China to settle the matter with Japan peacefully), and that's coming from someone who do business with both native Japanese and native Chinese regularly.
Beside, China and its citizen has done plenty good toward African country when all America and European country care about is taking their resource(taken from a native African himself who does business to my country, which is not China). The matter with Japan is just that sensitive, just like the matter between Japan and South Korea.
The reason I post here is because I see this generalization a lot in this thread and I can't help but feel sympathy toward a lot of Chinese who doesn't have anything to do with the riot(they're entitled to do a peaceful demo though, just like what some native Chinese does in my country) and can't help but trying to make the point that the Japanese side is not exactly completely guilt free toward this mess.
A little OOT : Maybe for you and me(being an atheist), religion is not something important, but some people take their religion seriously, even above their own family, and you have no right to look down on them because of that. When someone's most important gets ridiculed, people react badly(violence is still the wrong answer though). It's just like a stranger who you just know suddenly made fun of your family/girlfriend in front of you just because in their custom, that's how they show their closeness toward you and that person call you what a boring overreacting guy when you snaps back at them.

TBH, the only one that has lost their temper in this thread is you, I'm neither irked or pissed off at anyone for disagreeing with me, it's the nature of debate, this isn't a circle-jerking thread where everyone just keeps agreeing with everyone else.
Really, like I wrote earlier, it's fine to be passionate about an issue, but if you're going to have any sort of honest intelligent debate, leave the rhetoric at the door.

Also, it seems that the Americans are getting weaker and weaker in the face of Chinese pressure. It has no official stance on the dispute yet its own treaties designate the islands as part of Japan. Talk about weakness.

Yes of course they will say the same things to pander to the voter audience. Standard election rhetoric....However, Ishihara clearly has no substance underneath that facade but this Hashimoto seems like an unknown

That being said, just because they're allies doesn't mean either one will, or should, side with each other on any and all issues. For the most part, nations allies with one another to further serve their own interests, not out of some altruistic goals.

Fast Food Tea
Have others had the sorts of issues that I have had, ordering tea at fast food restaurants? Obviously it is not the sort of place one goes to get a good cup of tea, but likewise, you don't expect good food, either, just a bit of convenience. When I am home or at a tea shop I enjoy properly steeped cuppas, but sometimes you just want some tea when you are out and about and in a rush, right?
When I have ordered tea at places like MacDonalds, it always seems to throw them off balance. More often than not, they act as though they have never served tea before. When I was in Louisiana once, the young man behind a Wendy's counter responded to my request for "hot tea" by microwaving iced tea (he gets points for effort).
Over the years, I have amused myself by keeping count of how many people simultaneously engage in dealing with my order- often it is two or more trying to find it on the register while others try to solve the "where are the tea bags?" and "how do you get hot water?" dilemmas. The record was smashed, several years ago, at a Lake Mills MacDonalds, where I counted seven employees simultaneously struggling with getting me a tea.
Have you had similar experiences?
I did not know McDonald's even had hot tea. Lol.
Funny post, tea at mcdonalds etc??? ha hahahah
I hate fast foods and I could start a crazy debate on high price/low quality/slower than homecooking. But I won't do it! I'll resist :)
I guess coffee suits better the fast food because of it's overall very strong taste and caffeine kick!
Seven employees for getting a tea? Priceless :D
The water isn't hot enough at most Fast Food restaurants and, there is a "scum" floating on the top of the teas I've had there.
Yeah, I avoid tea from fast food restaurants. Hot tea doesn't taste right, and the iced tea usually has enough sugar to kill a moose. Conversely, my daughter loves iced tea from fast food restaurants.
I do enjoy Iced Tea from McAlisters its a sandwich shop type deli around here, we consider it fast food here also. Their Tea is awesome Good, just dont give it to your Moose it may kill him its very sweet!
Wow. This is really hilarious…I guess it makes some sense though, these fast food places run on volume and on procedure, and if no one orders a product, they're going to be unfamiliar with how to handle it when someone does.
It's interesting to me that so few people order tea at these places that things this extreme would happen though!
I wonder if any of the asian restaurants around here know how to brew a good tea. Bear in mind I am in Kansas so a good asian place is hard to find to begin with. We have one down the street luckily though. I will have to order tea the next time we go eat there. :)
Most of the sushi places ive been to serve hot green tea, usually genmaichas. Yum!
Bo Lings in Overland Park does a good jasmine tea. They have bubble tea, but I've not tried it.
When I was in Louisiana once, the young man behind a Wendy's counter responded to my request for "hot tea" by microwaving iced tea (he gets points for effort).
Oh my god, that's one of the funniest things I've heard in a while! I seriously laughed out loud for a few solid minutes at that one. Will have to repeat it to everyone I know. How did you react? What did you say to him?
For the most part, I haven't had too much trouble. People often look surprised, and occasionally they can't find it on the till, but…yeah, mostly I just get "what a kook" looks. Maybe that's because I'm in Canada, and pretty much everyone is familiar with hot tea here? Dunno.
The best/most awkward experience I've actually ever had has been at Tim Hortons. Now, TImmies makes a stupidly big deal out of their "steeped tea" e.g. presumably properly made tea (to the point of having big billboards advertising it). So you'd think they wouldn't be that surprised when people order tea. Nevertheless, I do get startled looks.
One night I was in a Timmies and decided I wanted to buy a box of their Blueberry White. (I'd been looking for a loose version of a blueberry white locally and couldn't find one, so I figured, f*ck it, I'll buy the bagged stuff.) HUGE ordeal. They had to pull a box out of the DISPLAY CASE for me, since the boxes of tea in the cases are apparently the only ones in the whole store – that's how often people want them, I guess. I figured they might have to go run and grab a box from storage or something, but no – display case. I held up the whole line while the associate first cleared the purchase with her manager ("can we SELL those?!"), then the manager had to find the key, then they had to climb on tables to get the case open… I would have said forget it, but I really wanted the dang tea! At least the people in line behind me were pretty patient.
How did I react? Well, whenever I tell that story, I always say "I would hire that kid in a moment." He displayed everything you want in an employee; he was trying to please a customer, he was being innovative and self-sufficient. All he was lacking was a bit of training. Honestly, I think he grew up in a house where he had never seen a teabag in his life, based on the look of pure wonderment on his face as he manager helped him out.
What made the whole incident even funnier to me was this- since it happened in the deep south, what he was heating in the microwave wasn't just "iced" tea, it was "sweet" tea.
Personally, if its not on the menu, why order it? Why put yourself and the poor kid behind the counter through it. Fast Food is iced tea territory… Sweet and unsweet, small, regular, and super sized… any size $0.99. If you want hot tea, take your own bag and ask for hot water – they usually have hot water. Our Steak and Shake does have hot tea on the menu and its actually not bad.
My dad tells of a restuarant stop on a fishing trip to Canada where he asked for iced tea, to blank stares. They claimed not to understand what he wanted. He finally asked for hot tea and a glass of ice.
What fast food place have you been to that didn't have hot tea on the menu? I can't think of any unless they sell a specific type of non-Western food.
Also, where was your father? Don't know any places up here that wouldn't recognize iced tea, but perhaps he was quite far north or something…?
Ok, my wife agrees that you can get hot tea at fast food places. I do not recall seeing it listed on the wall behind the counter. Sorry, I will try to pay more attention. If it is on the menu and you like Lipton hot, feel free to go for it and enjoy the circus.
My dad was on a fishing trip in upper Manitoba. He is a pretty good yarn spinner but this time he was serious.
Haha, I hate Lipton, who doesn't? :P Although I think a lot of places around here sell Red Rose, which isn't much of an improvement.
Upper Manitoba, interesting! I guess it is quite cold there.
Great stories.
Ohhh, the blank stare. A funny related story (not about Tea). I am from the Midwest, where everyone knows what biscuits and gravy is.Years ago, when I was in New England, I asked the waitress at a breakfast restaurant if they had biscuits and gravy. I'll never forget her response; she paused, looking all confused, then replied, "You mean turkey gravy?"
Not tea-related but I couldn't resist responding to the "biscuits and gravy" story. It's definitely an American thing, I'd never seen it on a menu here (Canada). First time I encountered it was a continental breakfast at a hotel in Central Washington – I'd never seen white gravy before

You Need:(Yields 10 gallons of laundry detergent)
4 Cups of hot water
1 Bar of soap
1 Cup of Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda
1/2 Cup of Borax
Directions:Grate your bar of soap and add to sauce pan with your water. Stir continuously over medium high heat until soap dissolves. Fill a 5-gallon bucket half full with hot water. Add melted soap, washing soda and borax. Stir well until powder is disolved. Fill to top with hot water. Let sit over night to thicken.
After your soap has thickened stir and fill a used, clean detergent container half way. Fill container the rest of the way with hot water. Shake before each use.
- Recomended soap: Ivory, Fels-Naptha, Zote, or Sun Light
- I use my food processor to grate my bar of soap. It's soap. It's clean!! Just rince it well with HOT water when youre done. I like to do it the easy way!
- Be sure you get Arm & Hammer SUPER WASHING SODA. Don't confuse this with Baking Soda. Baking Soda will not work. You can get your super washing soda in the laundry detergent isle.
- You can your 5-gallon bucket free at a deli/bakery. Just ask. You never know what you can get till you ask!
- This laundry soap does not make suds. Just remember suds doesn't clean clothes. The soap does. This soap doesn't have a strong smell. If you enjoy smelling your clothes when they are clean you may want to add 10 - 15 drops of essential oil per 2 gallons of soap. (Recommended oils: lavender, rosemary, or tea tree oil)
DRYER SHEETS:Why stop at laundry detergent?? I even make my own dryer sheets. I can imagine that this would sound crazy to some, but when your dog shreds and deposits thousand of dryer sheets under your bed and your son pulls them out of his pant leg while out in public you start to wonder if there is an easier way!
And Guess What!! There is!!! I don't chase the dog around yelling "drop it; drop it, I said!" any more. I'm all about making life easier on myself! So here's what I do:
- 1 container of your favorite fabric softener (or better still, click here to learn how to make your own!)
- a bucket
- water
- 2 sponges
Directions:Pour fabric softener in bucket. Add 2 parts water. (Fill your fabric softner container with water twice and add to bucket.) Mix well. Throw in your sponges. Ring your sponge out and add it to dryer with your clean, wet clothes. Return sponge to mixture when clothes are dry.
There you have it!! Life is easier already! =)


text: Up until yesterday I was doing great breastfeeding. Going strong for 6 months. In the first weeks I battled with mastitis twice. I have always had a very abundant milk supply, but always had more in the right breast. My lil man favors the right side. I got mastitis on the left side the day before yesterday and was put on bacterium. My milk supply has almost completely gone away on that side and I cant get any to come out when I pump. I can usually pump 6+ oz. from each side when I pump. Does anyone have any suggestions.

Major League Baseball says it is "extremely disappointed" about a new report that says records from an anti-aging clinic in the Miami area link Rodriguez and other players to the purchase of performance-enhancing drugs.

Many thanks for the Comic Frank. A nice change from Ijcs.
Are all you guys who post only Rapidshare DL comics links paid to do so by Rapidshare?
Is it some kind of conspiracy for you to force people to become Rapidshare customers?
Can't U use free download networks like Emule and Bittorrent?
Whats the point of 'sharing' when non-subscribers for Rapidshare can only d/load 1 file per day????
Please promote the spirit of sharing by using only networks that allow free download!!!!
@Anonymous: i am not working for rapidshare or any other file hosting company, its just that rs is the best of them all.
if u want p2p links u can up them urself, i dont have time to upload on every p2p client.
and if u cant use rs dl using picasa ( by following the read online link given above), for more on picasa ask google.
Congratulations for reaching this milestone of 50. You are doing a good job. I also love disney characters but a 40 MB filesize is somewhat discouraging. Can you pls reduce it a bit?
About rapid-share, I don't find much difficulty. A simple disconnect and reconnect is all it takes if one has dynamic ipas. Most have.
@ the phantom head: the size is due to the fact the comics contain >100 pages, so quality has to maintained in the scans.
quality can't be comprimized for the just reducing size. though i try to keep it as low as i can!
