-- Storyline: Yards should come in abundance in this game between two of the nation's three worst defensive teams statistically. Colorado State ranks 109th of 111 Division I-A teams in total defense, and San Jose State is 110th. (UNLV, another WAC teams, is last.) The difference is Colorado State has been fairly consistent on offense. Playing a conference game against each other for the first time, these teams have not met since 1964.
-- When San Jose State has the ball: Despite averaging just 15.6 points, the Spartans should be able to move the ball on the Rams, who yield 484.4 yards and 31.3 points a game. The Rams are also missing both starting defensive tackles, out with knee injuries. The Spartans may even try to run against a Colorado State defense that is vulnerable to the run, even though San Jose State has had little success running against anyone. But most of the yards need to come from the passing of Carl Dean, who has completed just 50 percent of his passes with seven interceptions and three TDs.
-- When Colorado State has the ball: San Jose State will have its hands full with the Rams' offense, which ranks 19th in the nation, averaging 450.4 yards and 30 points a game. Rams running back Damon Washington doesn't usually start but averages 115.7 yards per game and 7.2 yards per carry, and had 188 yards in the 20-14 loss to Tulsa last week. Quarterback Moses Moreno has thrown for over 1,700 yards and 11 TDs.

My Pride - 1946 Chrysler Windsor
I purchased this 1946 Chrysler Windsor car in Dec 2008 from a old lady (about 70 years old) after numerous visits. Initially she was not willing to sell the car but wanted me and my brother to only restore it. But surprisingly a few months later she called us and said she was willing to sell the car but for one condition. Once the car was restored she wanted us to take her in the Chrysler to the famous Parthasarathy temple in Triplicane quite close to her house to which we happily agreed.
This car was actually was not used and parked in a garage for 35 years. Except for a few parts like the huge front grill, 4 door handles and the bonnet motif all the other parts were intact. So one fine day I called my garage guy to send a mechanic and a recovery truck to move this car to his place. I didnt realise then that this place would be its home for the next 2 years, anyway more on that later. Once we opened the garage doors we found that there was filth right upto the running boards which had accumulated all these years. But the biggest problem was pushing the car out as 2 tyres were flat and none of the guys there were willing to step inside the garage fearing snakes and other insects. So finally the mechanic stepped in and even disconnected the propeller shaft from the differential . Later the recovery truck (an old TATA 407) struggled to pull it out after several attempts and in the process burning its clutch plate also. Once the car was moved out it was cleaned and one of the rear flat tyres was replaced with a good tyre from the front. Surprisingly all the door locks and keys were still functioning (probably a tribute to the American quality) and we were able to open the boot lock very easily. Inside we found some used filters and a old oil can.
First let me apologise for not posting good quality pre restoration pictures including the videos since I had lost the complete folder on my computer . The ones I have posted are from my mobile cam.
So here are the pre restoration pics first. Ill post the restoration details later.
The honey comb radiator.
The treasures I found in the boot

Quite amazing the way its been Restored
How long did the restoration take, and one last question...
" Did the old lady visit her temple in this car of hers......?????"
I hope, her wish would have come true......

Wow! This is stupendous! What a magnificent car and what a fine restoration you have done. The before and after photos comparison is so telling. You really have done a fine job and many many congratulations on acquiring such a fine car.
I'm with Pavan, did the old lady finally get to go to the temple in the car?

Re: My Pride - 1946 Chrysler Windsor
What a car you have man. Your pride - my envy . Beautifully restored. On the first glance of the post restoration(before I read the text) pics, I thought you have posted a reference image and that was how you want it to look. Post some specs and other details of the car. A little suggestion from me, hunt for white walled tyres, they will dramatically change the look further, or you may want to look at clip on white walls.

Re: My Pride - 1946 Chrysler Windsor
Hi Jai,
Nice to finally get to see the car pre/post restoration. I can imagine how it must been parked away for 35 years. Sad you lost the pictures. The Madras weather really took its toll. Had this car been in Hyderabad it would have been intact
Congrats to you one this wonderful job. The car must be a beauty to drive. Mumbai has two wonderful cars. I am attaching the picture of one of them. I will call you as I want to show you something
My Dad's Windsor too came from Chennai though not TN registered. Hopefully the car will be ready soon.

Re: My Pride - 1946 Chrysler Windsor
Hi Jai, Very sensitively restored car, loved the old world feel you retained in the interiors without being kitschy. Did you fabricate the grill? If yes what material did you use? I think you need to slightly adjust the grill and bonnet shut lines. But otherwise a damn good job. Keep restoring!

Re: My Pride - 1946 Chrysler Windsor
The colour suits the car very well (as did the original blue). May I suggest you paint the wheel tin trims in cream (as original)? You don't need to fit white walls, as these were designed for that purpose.
The front bumper guards have come too close together, they should line up with the front lights. Must have been quite a task to fabricate the grille too - while you are at it, get the bonnet base trim made as well. Window rubber trims were present, I assume you couldn't fit them because the locally available rubber will not have the groove needed. If your chap is skilled enough (he obviously appears to be), he can make the headlight rings too, since you have the original sample seen in the first pics.
Happy motoring, and do share some pics of the rally too.

Re: My Pride - 1946 Chrysler Windsor
That was a fantastic transformation of the car (should I call it restoration, instead) with professional workmanship.
Paintjob is outstanding with the period shade.
Can U tell us if it was Duco or 2K?
Just curious.

Re: My Pride - 1946 Chrysler Windsor
Wonderful restoration, Now we know what a task it would have been to bring her back to glory. I remember one instance of the bumper.
The color shade is my favorite as a similar shade is going in my car too. And then we just love the subtle looks of the Interiors and the paint, not too bling bling. Way to go .

Oscar Post
the Grouch.
Mayer Wiener.
de la Hoya.
de la Renta.
the Brazilian basketball star who had no last name.
Oh, you thought this post was about the Academy Awards. Oops. Sorry, my bad.
But, okay, let's take a look at this year's lineup.
I saw "Crash" on DVD. I have written before about how rarely I get out to see movies; the last three movies I saw in a theater without my children are "Sideways," "Seabiscuit," and "A Dirty Shame," so chances are if a movie hasn't come out on DVD, I haven't seen it. "Crash" was good but not great. This format has been done well (Nashville, Short Cuts, Pulp Fiction, Traffic) and poorly (Grand Canyon), but the central theme that people who seem good can be bad and vice versa is not that profound. The cleverly written script is put to good use by a large ensemble cast, with standouts including Matt Dillon, Ludacris (he gets the best lines), and, one of my old favorites, Thandie Newton. If you haven't seen Newton's film debut in "Flirting," you are missing out on a great performance in a wonderful little film from Australia which also stars Nicole Kidman and Noah Taylor and has a small role for Naomi Watts (somehow, Paul Hogan, Mel Gibson and Russell Crowe are not in the cast).
"Crash" is the only nominated film I have seen, but ignorance has never stopped me or many others from expressing an opinion. "Good Night and Good Luck" was filmed entirely in black and white, using newsreel footage to allow Joseph McCarthy to play himself onscreen. Many critics have lauded this as an ingenius cinematic device, but I think they just couldn't find anyone to play the role. Gay cowboy, serial killer, pimp/drug dealer, sure those parts are fine, but no Hollywood actor wants to taste the career poison of playing Senator Blacklist himself. And the black and white thing, aka the Curse of the Raging Bull, really works against this film. Even Stephen Spielberg added a few brief flashes of color to "Schindler's List."
"Brokeback Mountain" hopes to become the first Western to win since "Unforgiven" in 1992. How much would pay to hear Clint Eastwood say, "God, I wish I knew how to quit you?" "Capote" beat out "Walk the Line" for the token dead guy biopic nomination; the nomination of both "Ray" and "The Aviator" last year was approved by the Academy because Howard Hughes is actually still alive and living in a Nevada missile silo with Elvis and JFK. "Munich" is just as controversial as "Crash" or "Brokeback," but since it's not about America, the Academy really won't care. In the end, I think "Crash" will win because voters can convince themselves that it is edgy, and because, again, it's the only nominated film that I saw.
Best Director looks like a chance for the Academy to jump up and recognize George Clooney for proving that he's more than just a pretty face in his documentation of the attack on one of Hollywood's greatest enemies. Ang Lee has a shot here, too, because he did not win for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," and the voters like to see you pay your dues. Spielberg already has two directing Oscars, but I wouldn't make room for a third just yet. A win for first-time director Paul Haggis would be a major upset. Same for Bennett Miller, whose previous directing credits consist of a documentary about an NYC tour bus driver.
Best Actor will go to Philip Seymour Hoffman, whom the Academy can't wait to coronate as the newest member of the Hollywood royals. Hoffman has been great in every role I've seen him play, most memorably the weaselly prep school richy in "Scent of a Woman" and the pathetically endearing, idol-worshipping film crew guy in "Boogie Nights (I think he was either the key grip or the gaffer because I am quite certain Mark Wahlberg was the best boy). He'll have to overcome the pretentious three-name burden, something no Best Actor winner has done without the aid of a hyphen (Daniel Day-Lewis) or a period (F. Murray Abraham). This is the real reason why Jean Claude Van Damme will never have his genius recognized by the Academy. I actually saw "Hustle and Flow," so I'll hedge with a nod for Trevor Howard, who was very convincing as the drug dealing pimp who is really a good guy because hey, it's just weed, and the only hooker he beats down is the troublemaking, bitchy one that the audience dislikes. Heath Ledger? Too much of a lightweight. Joaquin Phoenix? Too creepy (his whole career, from "Parenthood' to "To Die For" to "Gladiator," this guy is guaranteed to make your skin crawl). David Strathairn? I'm sorry, who?
I'd like to see Felicity Huffman win best actress because she is married to the very cool William H. Macy, but she'll have to overcome an inexplicable wave of support for Reese Witherspoon. Charlize Theron just won two years ago and the rules forbid two wins in the same decade unless your name is Tom Hanks; otherwise, her turn as Norma Rae meets Erin Brockovich would be perfect. Dame Judi Dench would be the sentimental favorite if only she was American; she has had a bunch of nominations as Best and Supporting Actress but only one Oscar for "Shakespeare in Love." Keira Knightley? Too soon, but I am sure that Vanity Fair shot with Scarlett Johannson got her some votes.
Best Supporting Actress nominees include selections from movies that I not only have not seen, I haven't even heard of some of them. Amy Adams and Michelle Williams might as well be the U.S. favorites in the 2008 Olympic synchronized swimming pairs competition for all I know. And "Junebug" is a pretty good song by the B-52s on the "Cosmic Thing" album. For Best Supporting Actor, Jake Gyllenhaal is only my second-favorite Gyllenhaal, but I'll take George Clooney over Rosemary, Paul Giamatti over Bart, Matt Dillon over Kevin, and William Hurt over John.
The award I am most looking forward is for Best Song. I don't care which one wins, but I would like to see the performance of "Hard Out Here for a Pimp," from "Hustle and Flow," which could provide a Sly Stone Grammy level of entertainment. Jon Stewart should have a field day with that one.

How strong is the "old guard"'s influence in the Academy ? That is the question that will be answered by "Good Night and Good Luck"'s award total. To us old fogeys just the mention of McCarthy is spooky enough to win in the Terror category but Murrow is unfortunately becoming a dinosaur.
The new "old guard" is probably in support of "Capote".
My Oscar viewing is more about figuring out the cultural politics of the winners than the quality of the movies.
But, there's one thing all movie lovers agree on "Pass the buttered popcorn"

You got me there. How did you do in your Oscar picks?
I nailed the best picture pick, but I did steal the rationale from Stephen Hunter. Not as in love with Clooney as Mr. Tony seems to be.
- Abris said...
Lacking an office pool (or blog) through which to demonstrate my Oscar-picking acumen, I was forced to blurt out my predicted winner in a category five seconds before each envelope was opened. And for the first two and a half hours I was uncanny. Could not miss. Okay, maybe I mumbled something like "The Death of Norman Corwin in the Rwandan Mushroom Club" for documentary short subject. Still, thanks to a quick scan of Entertainment Weekly's predictions early in the week and my own blind instinct, I was proving myself an Oscardamus.
But things began to unravel deep into the third hour. Allowing my mind to wander for just a moment, I thought the Film Editing award was for Sound Editing (which had already been given). Disoriented, I shouted out "Walk the Line"...because it involved music which is a kind of sound. Of course, "Crash" was the obvious winner for FILM editing. I took another hit when that pesky Geisha flick stole the Cinematography award from "Brokeback Mountain."
My confidence was shot when Best Picture rolled around. Though I sensed that the Hollywood voters would support the underdog movie that dealt with "real issues" in their backyard, I didn't go for broke. I played it safe and went for Brokeback.
So ends my tale of picking the Oscars. It started with a promise of glory. And ended with mediocrity and disappointment. Just like so many Giants games.
P.S. I actually preferred "Crash" to "Brokeback Mountain." Yes, Haggis is manipulative and condescending as he explores the grey areas of human nature in a very black-and-white manner (with no hint of irony). But the film contains some moments and performances that pack a wallop. On the other hand, Brokeback is a lovely composition that lulls you to sleep. The only things that roused my interest were Michelle Williams's performance...and the sheep. Ang Lee can sure make sheep herding look awe-inspiring and mythic.
Then again, I would have voted for "Capote" over both of them.
- Bill Fitzgerald said...
Oscardamus, gotta file that one away for the future. It's obvious that your problem is conditioning. Next year,make sure you build your stamina by watching the entire Golden Globes and at least one other awards show before a final tuneup with the American Spirit Awards.

Fiber arts are a big portion of my life and my dream is to one day own my own little slice of heaven aka a knitting store. This year I decided to work on a plan to make that dream a reality, but it is still several years off. I've been doing a lot of reading and podcast listening on entrepreneurship and one thing that keeps popping up is build the life you want. It's hard for me to set long term goals since I'm an in the moment person and a 5 year plan feels like a lifetime. I started writing down smalls steps I could take now that would help me achieve my dream and working through TKGA (The Knitting Guild Association) Master Hand Knitting Program is my next step.
I found out about this program in early 2016 while browsing ravelry. I knew it was something I wanted to do, but I wasn't sure I had the time. I had just went back to work and have 3 active kids so I put it off. Fast forward a year later- I am now working full time (that yarn shop isn't going to fund itself!) and still have 3 busy kids, but I feel like it's the right time to take this on.
You are given 12 months to complete the first level of the program. Level 1 consists of writing a report on the blocking of hand knits, 19 swatches (now is the time to tell you I really don't like swatching), filling out some worksheets, answering 20+ questions, and making a mitten. Once you finish all this you put it all into a portfolio and off it goes to The Committee ( a group of volunteers who have already received the Master Hand Knitter title). There all your work gets reviewed and feedback is given. If you have an item(s) that didn't pass inspection you are given the chance to resubmit it within the cost of the program. If you need to resubmit items multiple times you have to pay the shipping. Hopefully, I can pass on the first go round, but I am always learning new things with every project I take on so we will see.
If you want to learn more about the TKGA Master Hand Knitting program head over to TKGA or to the ravelry group.

If you ever read my interview (you can find it on my website at Powerone)
you will see that I always have a girl under my desk. It is her job to keep me aroused as I write
(I'm a good employer, I supply a very well stuffed pillow for her to kneel on).
Today she didn't do a very good job, allowing me to cum after only two hours.
She is now kneeling in the corner, a nice set of shiny nipple clamps pinching tightly on her big, pink nipples. She has another ten minutes before she can take them off. Hopefully tomorrow she will do a better job. I am trying to finish up my next novel, The Castle of Pain and Pleasure.
Don't forget to read my latest novel "Runaway Wife". You can find it at

When the limo pulled up, they were super-excited. I can't imagine being in NYC when I was 13-years-old and riding in a limo with friends..... So though I never experienced it myself, I could kind of guess what they were feeling!
First stop, as usual, was the Abercrombie & Fitch Flagship. They absolutely LOVED it! From the male models, to the strong aroma of A&F cologne, they totally enjoyed the whole experience. After they shopped, they took pictures with the model at the front of the store. They were SO excited! One of the girls even said, "Wait til I show my mom!"
Next stop was Henri Bendel, but they weren't that crazy about it. I mean, it's not exactly in the teen budget, but they had fun browsing for a minute.
Following Bendel's they saw the Disney Store, which isn't normally a stop on the tour, but since we were ahead of schedule, I told them we had time to take a look.
The last store we had time to stop in on the UES was the Juicy Couture Flagship, which is always a teen favorite! They had fun browsing there for over 20 minutes (which is quite a long attention span for teens, of course!)
Next it was back in the limo and time for the "teeny" cosmos which they enjoyed very much. (They especially had fun taking pictures with them.) We were headed to the West Village to the Marc Jacobs Special Collections Store, but I realized we had about 30 minutes before they opened. So I suggested we stop at Joyce Leslie in Noho first. All the girls loved it here because the prices are 100% absolutely "teeny." I'm sure the uncle (who was treating the birthday girl) appreciated them too though. Who wouldn't? Cute t-shirts under $10 and cute dresses not more than $20. Heck, I'm a HUGE fan!
Last destination was the West Village. I knew they would LOVE the Marc Jacobs Special Collections Store. There was also a street fair on the same block, which was fun to browse. Although, as expected, they spent most of their time in MJ. This store is raved about all around the world. People don't understand how things are sold for a small fraction of the regular MJ price. I don't really understand it either. All I know is that it's awesome for people who like labels. You can still get the MJ label without paying a fortune. The birthday girl absolutely adored this store and she came out with quite a few gifts from her uncle. The other girls made some small purchases too.
When we got back into the limo to return to the starting point of the tour, I pulled out their special treats. Magnolia Bakery is on the same block as the MJ Special Collections store and what's a birthday party without a delicious cupcake?!? So on the way back uptown, the teens took some cute cupcake pictures and left not one crumb behind. All in all, the tour was a success!
If you'd like to plan a tour for a birthday party, a bachelorette party, or any other special occasion, visit the Contact page of www.shop-nyctours.com and inquire about our private group tours. Hope to shop with you soon!

Oh dear, there I was … claiming the fun was over! Well, all those folks with their ideas and their opitions, being picked for jobs in the new US goverment are not improving my day. Even though the Lump is not my president.
But there I was, claiming the fun was over – after the US election campaign. Sorry folks, I own up: mistake!
The UK Guardian just announced someone in the US is taking credit for saving a factory from closure … Only: the factory was not closing!
Guess this is a good illustration of all those jobs this new US goverment is going to save or create. Hello out there, managing this US president-to-be, sorro to bother you, but might it be a good idea to confiscate and start controling his twitter accounts again?

How would I define Public Relations?
Relating to the public.
Done. Next question…
Okay, I guess I could add more to that.
Let's break it down. You have an organization. This organization (business, team, club, whatever) has a purpose that usually requires the involvement of people outside the organization, unless it's that secret neighborhood spy club you were never invited to be a part of as a kid. These people may be involved actively or potentially as customers, supporters, clients, etc. Let's call them "publics." An organization has a Public Relations department/employee to present an image to these publics through multiple mediums including but not limited to social media, promotions, press releases, and stunts.
Basically, Public Relations is how an organization communicates the kind of organization it is to the public. Whether the image is true or not is up to the individual to decide.
Okay, now I'm done.

First off, I'm really appreciative of the amount of work going into this slicer. Even though I do not have a Zmorph printer, I'm interested in utilizing this software as my main "goto" software for slicing. My request would be to allow users the ability to change the print table dimensions. My print bed is a little larger than the default Voxelizer print area. Not a deal breaker but I would like to utilize the full potential of the print area of my 3D printer.
Thank you.
Hello mdcoley,
It's nice to hear that you use Voxelizer for some other printer than Zmorph - although we primarily support the Zmorph printers, Voxelizer is designed to work with any 3d printer that uses standard gcode instructions.
Actually, the feature you seek already exists in Voxelizer, but it is not very exposed.
In order to change the print table dimensions do the following:1. Open the folder My Documents/Voxelizer/Printers (or the equivalent on Linux/OS X)2. Copy-and-paste one of the .xml files, for example zmorph.xml3. In the copied file, change values of name, x_size, y_size, z_size to fit your printer's dimensions. Other fields are not currently used, so there is no need to change them.4. Open Voxelizer and click on the icon near the top of the window5. Choose the newly added printer - the choice will persist between separate Voxelizer sessions.
Can you tell me where is the folder location on OS X?i've been looking on the most usual locations but i cannot find it
/Users/user/Library/Application Support/Users/user/Documents/Library/Application Support
Thank you
On Mac OS, you'll find the settings inside of the application bundle:/Applications/Voxelizer 1.2.1.app/Contents/Resources/.voxelizer/(try "Open Folder" or Cmd-Shift-G in Finder)
On my mac it's hidden in a unconventional place for an OSX application.
Thanks for the tip that will save my ass, can by a good workaround for this bug :
We can also adjust the center !

Sheesh....am I some sort of psychiatrist?
Ok - so Aarons chilling in my room and talking to me about him raising his pit bull when he was younger and then he's talking to me about him riding horses when he was a kid. And then he's telling me how stressed he is about his relationship between his father and him. For some reason I suddenly felt like I was in the psychiatrist office, and I wasn't the one laying on the coach!! The guy needs to feel more confident about himself, and one of the ways to do that is to get a job. He also needs to meet and make friends. He'd prob wouldn't feel as cynical, would be more kinder, and not so challenging. He seems to always "top it off" when you tell him about what you did. Like his accomplishments are better. Thats like the worst way to have some lose interest in you. Gawd!!

Looks like the USA Today did a nice little favor for the administration today. Check the headline: Attacks down 22% since Saddam's capture
I thought that sounded a bit odd when I read it, b/c wasn't everyone in agreement a couple of weeks ago that the capture of Saddam hadn't made our troops and the people of Iraq any safer? Wow, looky that, prominently placed, just below the fold of the cover - nishe.
Well, as Greg Palast always recommends, I decided to read the fine print. First, I check the percentage. Check. 22% is correct. Let's call it minus twenty-two percent, or -22%, for short, since it does indicate a dropoff in attacks. The dropoff is from 23 attacks per day to 18 per day. Good job USAT. Next, let's look at the important numbers.
During the same periods, U.S. combat injuries dropped only slightly, from 233 in the four weeks before Saddam's capture to 224 in the four weeks after.
Wow. If we do a percentage based on the number of injured troops, our percentage is not -22%, but -4%. Let's do some more lookin.
And the attacks remain deadly: 22 troops killed from Nov. 16 through Dec. 13 and 31 in the comparable period Dec. 14- Jan. 10.
Wow, again. Number of deaths - that's probably a fairly important stat. Instead of -22%, that's....+41%!
Just a little friendly reminder to help you see the importance of owning your own one-of-the-most-widely-distributed-newspapers-in-the-world. Let's face it, USAT is no Yomiuri Shimbun (circulation 14 Million), but it's not too shabby (5.6 Million).

When it Comes to Healthy Eyes, most of us take our vision for granted and do not take the necessary prercaution to protect our eyes. We buy sunscreens and anti-agening creams to save our faces and skin but do we give a thought to our eye health when we buy sunglasses? We go for the best deal and the best style but do we know how safe are those good looking sun glasses for our eyes, especially in this hot weather? Polaroid, the inventor of polarized lenses tells us all we need to know before reaching out for those stylish sunglasses…
The UAE is renowned for its warm and sunny climate all year round, especially during the summer months. However, warm countries with a sunny climate are more inclined to have a harsh Ultraviolet (UV) Ray, which gets progressively during the summer season. As the inventor of the polarized lenses, that protect wearers up to the highest UV exposure level, POLAROID is committed to increase understanding of the risks of UV radiation.
It has been revealed that only 50% of the population believe that sunglasses are a must-have accessory to protect the eyes from harmful solar radiation, and more than 30% of them say they rarely wear sunglasses. Most people who wear sunglasses fall within the 25 to 54-year-olds age group.
Children's eyes are even more sensitive to UV rays than adults' because they are clearer and more delicate and their pupils are larger and let far more light through than adults' eyes. Exposure to UV radiation can lead to keratitis in children which results in inflammation of the cornea causing pain and itchiness.
There is also lack of knowledge of the basic safety standards that sunglasses must meet, such as the CE marking: 65% of the population don't verify the presence of this mark, which ensures that the lenses block harmful UV rays, are impact resistant and distortion-free, while 35% of them don't even know that the CE marking exists or what it means.
This deficiency of awareness is also due to the fact that what drives purchase behaviour and influences customer choices is usually not product quality: 57% of customers buy sunglasses only for style and fashion-related reasons, 28% of them based on price alone, while only 15% make informed choices, based on lens quality and UV protection level.
Wearing sunglasses to protect the eyes is a healthy habit that many should adopt: that is why choosing a good quality pair of sunglasses is key. The expert says, "Wearing sunglasses that block 100% of UV rays and up to 96% of blue light is a simple, safe and cost-effective way to protect the eyes".
Although lens colour and shading are not indicators of the sunglasses' UV blocking ability, different lens colours are better suited to certain activities and pathologies:
- Yellow: yellow lenses are ideal for skiing or in low-light situations, such as fog, as they increase contrast in hazy, foggy conditions, but can also cause colour distortion;
- Amber/Brown: amber and brown tints are good for near-sighted people;
- Light Blue/Green: light blue and green tints are best suited for farsighted people.
The level of eye protection depends mainly on the lens filter and material: to pick lenses that have a high-quality filter blocking 100% of harmful UV rays, customers must rely on the label. In Europe, there are three lens categories:
- CE marking indelibly affixed to the product: this mark indicates that the product meets the basic UV protection requirements imposed by the European authorities enabling the product to be sold in the EU;
- 100% UV protection: in accordance with existing regulations, lens manufacturers can also claim that their products provide a higher than standard UV protection. However, to do so, they must meet requirements that are more stringent.
- 100% UV400 protection: POLAROID sunglasses provide 100% UV400 protection, thanks to the brand's exclusive Ultrasight TM lenses, which allow only less than 1% of UV rays to pass through up to 400 nm, thus exceeding the protection available in most other sunglass lenses on the market.
UV400 lenses provide the highest protection from UV rays, elimination of glare and crisp, perfect vision; therefore, they are best suited to protect children's eyes, which are more sensitive to UV rays that adults.
UV400 polarized lenses, block all harmful UVA, UVB and UVC rays and do not allow horizontal light to pass through, eliminating glare and providing a clearer vision, as well as accurate colour perception. These lenses deliver utmost performance and safety and ensure reduction of eye fatigue, for maximum comfort and a unique visual experience.

Hey y'all!! Waazzz up??? This week was good! We had trainer trainee
meeting this week and it was good! Weird being the trainer though
but it was cool getting to learn it all again!
Later this week on Thursday we had like three miracles in a row
because we followed the spirit when we felt like we should go
somewhere else other than we had planned! So that was awesome!!
First some guy drove by us right as we were about to cross the street
and came back and asked for the Spanish missionaries number so we gave
it to him and he is a new investigator for them so that was pretty
sweet! Then we had an awesome lesson with this lady but before we
could set a return appointment someone like yanked her into the house
and yelled at us to go away! But we gave her a BoM so that's good! And
then just like 5min later we were walking along and another guy came
up to us asked for a Book of Mormon and gave us his info and said to
come over! It was crazy!! The Lord really guides us when we seek it
and pray for it!
Oh also we started asking people to pray for us to find people to
teach and it's been working like crazy we've had a bunch of solid
people who we met this week come up to us and two new investigators so
that's bomb!!
The Lord has just blessed us a ton is week!
Oh and one more cool story we were supposed to have a lesson with one
of our people who is on date and she wasn't there but when we stopped
by her cigarettes were on the porch and we both felt like we should so
we stole them God knows what he's doing! It was just a really good
week! Here are some pictures!

For the third year in a row, AWG Brands will support FMI's National Family Meals Month this September. This nationwide event highlights the importance of sharing meals together at home with family.
Throughout September, Best Choice, Clearly Organic, Always Save, and Superior Selections will share recipes, blog posts, and social media content surrounding the movement to help families enjoy more meals together at home. Find this content on http://www.bestchoicebrand.com and the other brands' websites. The brands are also hosting a joint giveaway/photo contest. Customers can learn more and enter here: http://woobox.com/4utirv
AWG member retailers are encouraged to share this content and utilize FMI's own free resources that can be gathered here: http://www.fmi.org/family-meals
Why are family meals at home so important? Research provided by the Food Marketing Institute concludes that people eat healthier when they eat together at home. This research also proved that children who share regular family meals together boast better grades, improved nutrition, higher self-esteem and stronger family relationships, among other benefits. However, according to a 2013 Harris poll, only 30 percent of American families share dinner every night. FMI notes that "food retailers are uniquely positioned to make family meals at home easier to accomplish." So join the movement!

Our long, neighborhood nightmare is over! Last night, they finished paving 2nd Avenue! Praise Allah! I figured that my stretch of 2nd was in for a very long night of noisy, humming, sighing, farting paving equipment, but those little angels were done by 9:00. They were very well organized, with their special dump trucks all parked in a row and their strange paving monsters moving slowly and providing their own eerie light.
Here is your 21st century 2nd Avenue:
Sweet Lady Blacktop, you look beautiful today! There will be no more visits from Baroness von Jackhammer. The metal monsters are gone! All is peaceful! Take to the streets, my neighbors, and sing hymns to brotherhood! Your 2nd Avenue is free again!

ActionAid is an international agency fighting poverty in 42 countries worldwide. They have published a report that says climate change is being felt very acutely by some of the poorest communities. (The full report can be downloaded as a pdf file).
Of particular interest to me is the report, that in Malawi 90% of the 6.3 million living below the poverty line rely on subsistence farming to survive at all. They are already farming in fairly extreme conditions, so any changes in climate have considerable impact. They are themselves aware that their food production has decreased because of frequent flooding and drought.
- They no longer know when is the best time to plant. The rainy season used to start in October but during the 70s started moving to November and now starts in December. They therefore ought to be using a fast-maturing crop to allow for the shorter season but
privatisation of seed companies means that hybrids developed are too expensive for many.
- The change in rainfall has caused an increase in certain diseases such as malaria, cholera and dysentry. It falls to the women to care for the sick, and this then prevents them working in the fields.
- The floods and droughts happen more often, leaving little time to recover and adapt.
- Deforestation is increasing and existing laws to control it are not being enforced.
- The decrease in livelihood is forcing more people to look for work elsewhere, which in turn is forcing women into unsafe sex, thus increasing the risk of HIV/AIDS.

Nearly 10,000 feedback from users rates this model as being super affordable, reliable cordless vac that does the job. Hoover Linx cordless can run for about 20 minutes which is a bit short when compared with latest cordless model on the market like Dyson V8 or Dyson V10, but you can manage to clean 2000 sq ft area easily by getting one more battery pack. The are some benefits of Hoover Linx cordless such as lightweight, extreme recline handle to reach under furniture with ease, bottom released dirt cup, edge cleaning capacity, multi floor cleaning, fuel gauge and fingertips power control.

Eufy Robovac 11 series has throughout performance, big dust bin (about 0.6 L), efficient filter layers, 100 mins run time and ability to clean from bare floor to medium pile carpets. The best part of Eufy robot units is that, they can clean dark floors very well while other brands can clean bright floor but will fail to clean darker floors. Robovac 11 series is highly recommended for users who need nothing but a robot vacuum that works. Eufy Robovac 11 is controlled by a remote, it does not have wifi connection so far.
Deebot N79s is another great option, which is also has a high rating from users. Actually this model is nothing new, it is just the 2nd generation of Deebot N79, the best seller unit at low price.

Now, you can control and schedule your robot vac with either a remote or a smartphone.

I had to share this recipe because I came home after class one night to the most amazing smell from the oven. My roommate whipped up this recipe out of nowhere. It is of course so simple (otherwise I wouldn't bother to try to make it let alone write it down), extremely flavorful, and so good for you!
- 1 egg
- 2 TBSP freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 TBSP parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- ½ cup bread crumbs
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 pack of boneless, skinless chicken tenderloins or breasts (cut breasts in sections)
- 1 broccoli crown
- 2 sweet potatoes, skin on, cubed
- 2 zucchinis, cubed
- 3 TBSP olive oil
- Preheat the oven to 400 F.
- Whisk egg, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and 2 of the garlic cloves into a marinade.
- Combine bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese.
- Dip chicken in egg mixture then dredge both sides with bread crumb mixture. Place on baking pan.
- Toss vegetables with olive oil, the third clove of garlic, salt, and pepper. Place on baking pan.
- Put pan in oven and bake for 15 minutes. Then take pan out to flip the chicken.
- Broil at 500 F for 8-10 minutes or until tops of chicken are browned.

HP & The Half-Blood Prince
Yup, I just finished it at 11:30 pm. Been trying to read it all night, and DH kept interrupting me. He's doing some on-line shopping for the Kiddies' birthday. Geeesh. I know my priorities!!
LOL. Kiddie A has written a review - but it has Spoilers, so beware.
Yes, she left one copy with us to read. Now DH will need to try and finish it this week, 'cause Kiddie A will want to talk about it and she's hard to stop. Kiddie B finished it on the drive up to Penn State, and she still has the copy with her, so Kiddie A could start again if she wanted to. Kiddie A's roommate for this week has the book, too, and DH warned Kiddie A not to spoil it for her.
I liked it, and like Kiddie A, can hardly wait to read the next, final book. She'll be itching to talk about it when we pick them up on Saturday, and I'm interested in hearing her views on what might be coming up.
Now I've got to get to bed, the service people will be here early in the morning to start the work on our heating/AC system. It's being completely replaced.

I have been thinking about writing this post for a while. Today its raining. I have sewn the gathered skirt to the bodice of the McCardell dress and I have a few minutes to spare before picking up Little Prince from his grandmothers. I am also please to say I managed to get to the gym this morning after a rather decadent buffet lunch at the Hyatt yesterday to celebrate the Melbourne Cup (the horse race that the whole nation watches every November).
So here goes. What is the deal with buying vintage sewing patterns online? What can you expect?
At the very least, you should expect the seller has (1) inspected the pattern for damage and (2) counted the pieces and ensured the instructions are complete. Both of these things should be detailed in any listing on websites like eBay or etsy if they are not complete or if there is any damage.
In terms of condition, I have found most sellers are pretty good (and I have ordered hundreds of patterns online). Most will say: "gently used" or "used with some small tears" and the really professional ones will detail any attempts to rectify damage, usually with archival quality tissue paper.
Imagine how dismayed I was of late to pay $45 for a pattern that had clearly been exposed to moisture and was very damaged- scrunched ends, missing bits from the pattern pieces, tears, rusty dressmakers pins… The seller documented the envelope as torn (not an issue) and simply said the pattern was "brittle" which implies everything is at least in tact and needs to be handled with care. And yet the instruction sheet was falling to pieces, split and barely legible. All this for the price of $45, postage on top. We are not talking about a $5 pattern. Imagine how incredible it was for the seller to admit they didn't inspect the pattern they sent and in any event thought that tears etc were all "par for the course". Sorry, but anyone who professionally deals in patterns knows that any degree of damage needs to be accurately documented and the higher degree of damage, the less valuable the pattern tends to be (it would have to be rare and coveted to hold its value and to warrant some form of "reconstruction… by that I mean something like a 1930s Patou by a previously unknown pattern manufacturer).
While I am not going to name and shame the seller on my blog- (and there was no immediate apology when I brought all of this to their attention) I am going to do something to help you- the sewing pattern collector, savvy seamstress and/or vintage fashionista buy your patterns. I am going to list my favourite sellers on etsy- these are sellers I have come to trust over time and whom I have usually bought multiple patterns from. I recommend them, have never personally had any problem with the accuracy of their listing descriptions, they are prompt with mailing their items and generally take a sense of professional pride in the item they are selling you. The list has been compiled through experience through my own personal dealings.
In no specific order:
- Miss Betty's Attic;
- Vienna's Grace;
- Midvale Cottage;
- Adele Bee Ann
- Retrowithlana
- Piranha Republic
- Anne8865
- Backroomfinds
- California Sunset
Good luck vintage pattern hunting and happy sewing!

This just hurts my eyes, I just can't stop wetting them out of frustration of the stupidity behind this, whats more if you express your feeling of intolerance towards this then you better prepare for something like P.Z. Myers got in his mailbox, which he shows a few snippets of here, for posting his oppinion of the episode here.
I really do not have anything to add to this, just wanted to point this out to people.
N.B. All the christians that I know are tolerant and intelligent people, but of course its like the saying is, "the empty barrel makes the loudest noise" (which is perhaps why no one hears me ;-) ).

New York When It Rains

What do you think, will Lawson and Ellington sign with agents? Or will they come back?
Lawson is gone for sure. Ellington, and this is instinct paired with some things I've heard may return. Neither like school much, though, so I'm inclined to think that if they're hearing the guaranteed money of the first round, there's no turning back for either.
Lawson is a sophomore - rising junior not a freshman.
Yeah, that was stupid. Thanks for pointing that out.

Welcome to another IGN Comics review. If you've been here before, you know the drill. If you haven't, here's how it works. We grade on a 100-point scale. Numerically this is represented as a 10 point system with 0.1 increments. These scores also translate to particular labels. To learn more about our rating system, look for the red link near our final score at the bottom. For trade, arcs and manga reviews, we'll comment on art and writing along with a final score. Weekly books get a faster treatment due to their shorter length.
One thing to keep in mind is we're providing you with multiple reviews and multiple scores. To keep things simple (for you and for us), we're limiting this to one Additional Take. The Additional Take reviewer will have his or her score listed directly after their opinion. The Final Score is not affected by this and is directly determined by the Main Reviewer (who is listed in the article's byline).
Any time you feel like commenting on our reviews, you may. Our weekly review index, which is published late Wednesday night, has a comment section. Every review we publish does as well (look below). You can also find our message boards by clicking the link on the left-hand side. Enjoy!
Matt Fraction's baby The Order is nothing if not consistent. Each issue has been full of original ideas, quality storytelling, and gorgeous artwork. With the sixth issue the book reaches a new high and starts really playing in the sandbox of the Marvel Universe.
This issue sees the plots further complicated and a new threat emerge. The Black Dahlias introduced last issue are a big presence, especially where Mulholland is concerned. The backburner plot of the M.A.N. From S.H.A.D.O.W . is detailed more as well, and those two coupled with the new problem generate a wonderful chaotic tone in the book. Matt Fraction's plotting has always been superb and it's on full display here, not to mention his great dialogue skills. Henry Hellrung has become a fascinating character in his own right in only six issues, and Fraction has used Tony Stark as a springboard to make Hellrung that much more interesting. One of the chief joys of this series is watching these characters grow - Fraction clearly has a unique vision for each of them.
After a quick vacation from Barry Kitson - he only provided the layouts last issue - he's back in all his glory, and he's never looked better. His character models for the Dahlias are beautiful, and even his quirky mayor deserves mention. Kitson's work doesn't reinvent the wheel, but The Order remains one of the most solid titles visually every month.
I can't recommend this book enough. The merits of Marvel's Initiative drive can be debated, but the fact remains it gave us The Order, and it deserves some praise because of that.

A new report has revealed that 580,000 Brits are probably being paid less than the legal wage rates, with women in part-time jobs the biggest losers. A study by the Low Pay Commission (LPC) found that as many as one in five low-paid workers are receiving less than they are entitled to.
