Story from USC SID
COLUMBIA, S.C. – Top-ranked South Carolina scored six runs in the first two innings on the way to a 7-1 victory over Stetson on Tuesday afternoon. The Gamecocks improve to 11-0 on the year while the loss drops Stetson to 2-10.
Freshman left-hander Josh Reagan worked five innings allowing one run, unearned, on six hits while striking out six batters to pick up the win and is now 2-0 on the year. Matthew Vogel hurled two scoreless innings of relief, allowing just one hit while striking out two batters. Taylor Widener and John Parke each added scoreless innings as well to close it out for the Gamecocks.
Grayson Greiner went 2-for-4 with three RBI. Max Schrock and Marcus Mooney had two hits apiece while Joey Pankake accounted for a pair of RBI and scored two runs.
South Carolina broke ahead 2-0 in the first inning with a two-run single off the bat of Grayson Greiner. With two outs, Joey Pankake reached base on a fielder's choice and advanced to second on a wild pitch. A walk to Kyle Martin and a single by Connor Bright would set the stage for Greiner, who crushed a 1-0 pitch up the middle to bring home both Pankake and Martin.
Stetson would cut the Gamecocks' lead in half in the top of the second. A pair of errors by Reagan would allow Kyle Zech to reach second base and a single to right field by Tanner Blackman advanced him to third. Zech would score on Kevin Fagan's two-out RBI single.
The Gamecocks responded with four runs in the bottom of the second to take a 6-1 lead over the Hatters. With the bases loaded after a pair of base hits and a walk, Pankake knocked the first pitch he saw to right field driving in two runs. Martin drove in another run with a sacrifice fly to center field and Pankake would then score the final run of the inning on another RBI single from Greiner.
South Carolina chased Stetson starter Josh Powers after five innings. The junior right-hander allowed six runs on 10 hits and three walks while striking out three batters and is now 1-2 on the year.
Gene Cone scored the seventh run for the Garnet and Black on Max Schrock's sacrifice fly to center field in the sixth inning.
South Carolina and Stetson will face off again on Wednesday with first pitch slated for 4 p.m. The Gamecocks will send sophomore RHP Curt Britt to the mound. Live broadcast is available at GamecocksOnline.com. The game can also be heard on the Gamecock Radio Network from IMG College including flagship station 107.5 FM, "The Game."

The gold standard.
A staple in the Patagonia line for going on 30 years, the Patagonia Men's Lightweight Synchilla Snap-T Fleece Jacket sets the standard for multi-functional use. Its lightweight Synchilla polyester fleece insulates against cold temps, manages moisture, and dries quickly, making the jacket ideal for everything from cool mornings at the crag, chilly fall days on your favorite trout stream, and afternoons tailgating in the resort parking lot. Patagonia knows what works and what doesn't, and it pretty much hit the nail on the head when it first designed the Synchilla. As a result, the jacket remains largely unchanged with a streamlined pullover design, stand-up collar, and Y-joint sleeves that leave your arms free to move whether you're warming up on a boulder problem, casting to rising trout, or trying to flag down the bartender for another round.
- Patagonia's iconic Synchilla fleece for hiking and everyday wear
- Double-sided fleece fabric made from partially recycled materials
- Pullover design with snap-button front placket
- Bound cuffs and hem help trap heat for added warmth and comfort
- Stand-up collar with contrasting nylon trim and pocket flap
- Classic regular fit suitable for wear on the trail and around town
- Patagonia's eco-conscious philosophy informs its clothing designs
- Item #PAT3227

I love this. Super warm and comfy. It does run a little big, but I like it that way. It's lightweight but will keep you warm all day. Would reccomend it to anyone looking for a comfy and stylish fleece pullover.

So i know this is technically a men's, BUT screw that. Often times, "men's items have way better patterns/colors than the women's. I decided to get a men's small and it has been awesome. Of course it is a bit oversized but that isn't a problem when all you want is a comfy sweatshirt. I would definitely recommend to anyone, especially women who want a sweatshirt with awesome patters and a comfy oversized look! My brother in law keeps trying to steal it from me. NO WAY!
Not my favorite

I'm a big Patagonia fan but was disappointed in this product. It's warm and comfortable but it sheds, and I literally leave a trail of fleece everywhere I go. Maybe I just need to run it through the wash a couple of times but I have the Synchila sweat pants and vest and didn't have a problem with either of them.
The ultimate fall and spring

I probably war this more than I should. From light activity to office days to cruising to and from the crag. I'll always have one around.

Great mid weight layer for just about anything. I bought this for a family member as a Christmas present and they love it. The functionality is really what stands out with Patagonia products. They look good and they are super useful weather you are at home warming up in the morning or hiking the trail. You can't go wrong with this fleece!

This fleece is super soft and extremely comfortable. It has a slightly baggy, but not overflowing fit so it's great when doing outdoor activities.
Super stylish, warmest fleece

My dad got me this for Christmas last year and being outdoors a lot camping and dirt biking here in Oregon, this is needed. Wear it after my ride to keep me warm loading bikes, camping, hikes you name it this thing makes it better. Not only does the styling look great with funky patterns, but its not bulky and restrictive. Pretty durable too! Few times i got caught up on branches and no holes or rips!
Patagonia Synchilla

- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: xl
- Height: 6'4"
- Weight: 190lbs
Patagonia Synchilla (pants, tops) are wonderful and if you have ever tried them and worn them, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Can't seem to have enough of them! Great for skiing, and great for just wearing around the house. I typically get an XL even though I could probably wear a L. I like it a bit bigger so that I can wear additional baselayer(s) under when skiing.
Made a great gift!

- Size Bought: Medium
- Height: 5'8"

While the pull-over runs a little large, my son wanted to wear it practically 24/7 from the time he opened it as a Christmas gift. He says it is very comfortable and it is holding up great in the wash.
Classic Look
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs large
- Size Bought: Medium
- Height: 6'0"
- Weight: 170lbs
This fleece has always held the test of time. It is comfortable - made of quality materials and strong snaps. I use it all the time as a second layer under my larger coat or a fleece that looks better than a hoodie indoors. I also like that it doesn't easily absorb liquids and foods because it is polyester. This means that you rarely have to clean it and it never smells. I say it runs large because I like close fitting garments - but I have had a large and it was long and baggy on me.
Great Patterns...

...and very warm. Great for hikes and Apres Ski! These pullovers are durable and functional. However, size down for a true fit, they tend to run large.

I got mine a size up, and it fits so. Awesomely soft and stylish, as well as being decently warm and awesomely comfortable.

I originally got he women's version of this pullover for myself and I loved it so much that I had to get one for my brother for Christmas. He hasn't opened it yet, but I like the texture, weight and softness that these sweatshirts offer. Patagonia does a really good job with their fleece, just be sure not to dry it in the dryer.

I LOVE the lightweight Synchilla! This thing has the coolest prints! As a female, I actually ordered the men's version as I preferred the print. I went down a size from my regular lady fit, and it worked out just perfectly! The arms were a smidge long but i like to turtle-into my jackets anyways. The lightweight is, for me, the way to go as I tend to burn up in the regular version. Great with leggings, jeans, or up on the mountain hiking. I don't usually like to layer this under my jacket as it still is a bit bulky but is a great stand-alone fleece! Also, my brother pretty much lives in his lightweight synchillas... I am almost positive that he has one for every day of the week. After plenty of use, these jackets have stood the test of time! Would recommend to anyone/ everyone!

Great Fleece
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This fleece is great. Its thick enough to be warm but light enough not to sweat to death. also if you put a hoodie on under this in cold weather, then you'll be plenty warm. Overall I love mine and wear it all the time, its comfortable and durable
I am a 5'9" male, 190lbs, with an athletic muscular build. I have always been between medium and large but I am unsure what to order for this type of pullover, any advice?
Hey, I am thinking about buying but I have no clue what size to order. I am 5'11 and 190 pounds. I typically order mediums, but I wanted this fleece to be slightly roomy in size, but not huge. Any advice?
Go with a Medium! That should pan out perfectly since the Synchilla notoriously runs a bit big/relaxed.
if i wanted one of the patterns only shown in the detailed images and not offered how would i find that pattern?
Unfortunately that might turn into an ebay hunt as those are from past seasons and no longer available from Patagonia or Backcountry.
I've got a larger build, I'm 6'2 and about 210 pounds, would a large be too small for me? I wear XL in most things but my other patagonia jacket (retro x) is a large.
My indirect answer is to order both and keep the one that fits best; otherwise, you won't be 100% certain you went with the right size. My guess, though, is that an XL would fit you more comfortably, unless you want a more athletic fit, in which case you can probably get away with the LRG since I've heard they run a tiny bit big. Again, my suggestion is to order both, and with 2-day shipping going on, you'll know your size by the weekend!
I concur with Ryan on all points.
im 5'3 and 100 pounds. i can't figure out which size i should get a small or a medium i want it a little big but not huge!
I think small should do it, this piece runs a bit big and I think a medium would be huge on you.
What size for a lanky 6'4' 175 pound guy? I'm leaning towards a M but I think the sleeves would be too short.
Hi Patrick,
At your size I'd get a large. I'm 6ft and wear a medium. Let me know if you have any questions or would like me to set up an order.
6'0 200lbs should i go with a medium or a large?
I would say a large. I am 5'8" 200 lbs and wear a large in almost everything Patagonia makes.
If you have anymore questions feel free to send me an email or call!
Bill Porreca
I disagree specifically for the Snap-T pullovers. They are built with ample room. I'm 6'-2, 200 pounds and a large was too baggy for me. Medium fit well, though the sleeves are about 1/2" shorter than I'd like.
Hi,are all the lightweight snap T fleece on sale or just the ones that have an On Sale sign under it?
Never mind,I figured it out:)
I am looking to buy this for a friend of mine who is 150 lbs and 6'0''. What size should i buy?
medium should probably do the trick.

Your current subscription details will be shown, turn auto-renewal to OFF.
How do I access Foundr Magazine on multiple devices if I subscribed on my iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch?
If you signed up for a free trial to the magazine on your iPhone and wish to also get it on your iPad or vice versa follow these steps:
Login with the same Apple ID used for the original purchase on the new device, download the Foundr app, open up Foundr from the newsstand and once you are on the home page click the yellow 'Subscribe', and then click on 'Restore All Purchases'.
Once you've entered your password your previous purchases will be restored on the new device.
I cannot open the magazine app, it just closes immediately when reaching the Splash page
Hmm… sorry about that. This is a bug we have found in version 2.4.1 and is already fixed in the next version 2.7.1. The reason it is happening is that your time clock is set as 12 hour format and possibly using a different language other than English. When you install the app and open it the very first time then this error can occur. To solve it in version 2.4.1 please have your clock set as 24 hour format (you can do this in the General settings, under date & time) and open the magazine. After that, if you want, you can change the clock back to the 12 hour format.
I am getting a "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" message when clicking on the subscribe button or buy button
Dang it! This can happen in the following situations: You may not have Wi-Fi or internet access, or have 'Restrictions ON' to prevent others from making purchases in this iPad. Restrictions are located on the general settings and should be disabled to allow in App purchases.
I am not getting the new mags delivered automatically
We love Apple but even they are not perfect. Push Notifications are awesome but sometimes your iPad can drop push notification connection. Weird, but it happens. What you can do is to turn off Wi-Fi, turn on Airplane mode, then reconnect to Wi-Fi. Something else you can try is to connect to another Wi-Fi network for a while and then switch back to yours. Restarting your iPad can also sometimes help.
How do Special Issues Work?
Special Issues are different in the sense that they are not part of the magazine subscription. They are independent special issues and everyone will need to buy them to read them, including magazine subscribers. Special issues will have a red "Special" sash and will appear below the top section in your mag home screen.
How does the purchase process work?
You can either subscribe to the magazine or buy single issues. If you subscribe (auto-renewal) you will get the latest magazine issue published and will have access to any future issues as long as you remain a subscriber. If you purchase a single issue, you will be able to download that issue immediately after the successful purchase..
I have subscribed but can still see the yellow subscribe button?
Sometime the iPad doesn't talk very well with the Apple servers. Fully close the magazine, tap on the home button to ensure you have exited the magazine, and then double tap the home button. All the opened apps will appear at the bottom of the iPad. Press and hold on top of the magazine, the apps will start to shake, tap on the red minus sign to fully close the magazine.
Make sure you are logged in with the same Apple ID that subscribed to the magazine. To do this, tap on the Settings app, scroll down and tap on the store app, double check that the same Apple ID is being used. If not, sign out and sign in with the correct Apple ID.
Relaunch the Magazine. Go to the Newsstand app and tap on the magazine to launch it. The splash page will appear and then the magazine home screen will show. The page should be updated and now the yellow subscribe button would have been replaced with a grey Restore button.
Restore all purchases by pressing the restore button if desired to re-download all previously purchased magazine issues.
I get an error that says "Oops, iPad is struggling"
This usually means you may have too many apps running and too much memory is being used (most common with iPad 1). All you need to do is:
1) Fully close the magazine.
2) Double click your iPad home button, this brings up all the apps you are running.
3) Hold down one of the apps until they start doing a funky dance.
4) See the little red – minus symbols? Press that symbol and close some apps for better performance.
The magazine App is crashing, what do I do?
The Foundr Magazine app has been battle tested and as far we know it is rock solid! However, if you are having any issues, please first check the Apple Guidelines.

But do you know the speed of your home network? This is tested less often, and there is no easy-as-pie website set up to help you with doing a network speed test. There is a simple utility called LAN Speed Test (unrelated to the SpeedTest website) that can help you figure out your home network's precise speed.
Performing a Network Speed Test
LAN Speed Test is a simple program, and so far as I can tell, it doesn't have an official website. You'll have to download from a third party, such as CNET downloads. Once the program is installed, you'll be greeted with an interface that states your computer's name and IP address, as well as numerous blank fields below.
To use LAN Speed Test, your computer must be able to display the other computers in your home network. You can check to make sure that they are available by opening Windows Explorer and navigating to the Network section (in Windows Vista and Windows 7, this will be displayed in the sidebar on the left). If the other computers in your home network are available, they will be shown here.
Once that has been confirmed, you can start the network speed test by clicking the Start Test button. A folder browser will appear. You need to browse to a public shared folder on one of your networked computers. I typically use the default Public Files folder, but you can use another folder you'd like. Once you have selected the folder, press OK. You'll be asked how large of a file you want to use to test the speed of your network. The default is 100 megabytes – this is fine for a general test. If you want to test the sustained speed of your network more throughly, try changing the value to 1000 megabytes (approximately one gigabyte).
The test creates a temporary file and then both writes and reads the file on the public folder of the networked computer you selected. The testing process can take some time. A 100 megabyte file may take a few minutes, while a gigabyte file could take half an hour. Once complete, the Status display will show Finished and results will appear.
Deciphering the Results
There are several result fields displayed by LAN Speed Test, but there is one that I will focus on. It is the result furthest towards the bottom labeled Mbps. This is short for megabits per second, and here we have a common point of confusion when it comes to network speeds – a megabit is not the same as a megabyte. A megabit is roughly equal to 0.125 megabytes, which means that you need a transfer rate of 8 megabits per second to transfer 1 megabyte per second.
For example, I used LAN Speed Test to test transfer rates between two desktop computers connected to a wireless network. The test gave me a result of 17 Mbps on the write speed. The total time to complete the file write was 47 seconds, and the file was 100 megabytes in size. If I divide the file size (100MB) by the time to write the file (47 seconds) I achieve a result of 2.12 megabytes per second. If I take 2.12 megabytes and times it by 8 (the number of megabits it takes to make a megabyte) the result is roughly 17.
Once you know this information, you know approximately how long it will take to transfer a file between networked computers. Since I now know that I can transfer 2.12 megabytes a second I can guess that a 500 megabyte file would take 235 seconds (or about 4 minutes) to transfer. I reach this conclusion by dividing the file size by the megabytes transfered per second.
This information is also critical for figuring out how well video streaming will work between computers. There are many different video formats, so I can't list every single one here. However, I can list the peak bitrates for some popular video formats.
- DVD (using MPEG-2 Compression): 10.08 Mbit/s
- Blu-Ray (Recordable disc): 36 Mbit/s
- H.264: 6 Mbit/s with 1080p content
- VC -1: 30 Mbit/s with 1080p content
These are typical maximum values. In certain situations – particularly with H.264 and VC-1 video files – you may find bit rates to be much lower. This is because there is a trade-off between quality and performance Digital Video Formats and Video Conversion Explained Digital Video Formats and Video Conversion Explained Read More . A file can be encoded into these formats at a lower bit rate to make it easier to stream, but the video quality will suffer.
Despite the usefulness of LAN Speed Test, home networking speed can still remain an inexact science. There is a great deal of flex in most file formats when it comes to the bit rate required to stream data, and the speed of wireless connections can also sometimes be degraded by interference from other signals or from obstacles.
Wired connections do not have this problem, of course. Still, the information you receive from LAN Speed Test will put you in a much better position to gauge how well your home network can handle file transfers between computers on the network.
Would you perform a network speed test? Wondering why your streaming video lags? Troubleshoot the connection with this app and let us know if it helped.

and older app that is still relevant, as I found the problem with my wireless TV was the repeater, changed location of it and established a stronger signal and speed throughput and solve the issue that was bothering me for weeks
This is a great 'real-world' test on how your network is performing. If your drive has write cache enabled (most do) then this form of testing (small files, many times) works very well.
I just want to say that this is actually not a good way to determine actual network speed if you are running anything resembling a 100Mbps network or greater. This test fails simply because the bottleneck will be the hard drive as that tends to max out at about 10MBps (80Mbps) on writes for a normal non-SSD hard drive. The best option is to find a tool that runs only from memory and runs on two computers to determine the network speed between the two without introducing any unnecessary steps. I have heard good things about iperf but have not used it myself.
Right, I was going to say the same, in fact windows 7's explorer already gives these statistics if you simply copy from or to the share. What I am interested is in the "raw" network throughput that I am able to get, to troubleshoot if my gigabit network is really working as it should.
I found the tool very useful. I use a gigabit switch,power line networking and wireless networking (802.11n). My Mbps were what I expected for my gigabit switch transfer at 700, but it looks like my 200 Mbps power line networking is only delivering around 25. That would explain my DVD streaming troubles to my roku box.

Amanda Seyfried doesn't like to wash her hair often!
The 'Mamma Mia!' actress says the secret to her luscious blonde locks is not over-styling them and will only use shampoo and conditioner every three days.
She said: "Don't wash it! I wash my hair every three days which is something I would've never imagined years ago, but I also use dry shampoo and my hair is even healthier."
Amanda also revealed how she takes good care of her skin and tries to protect herself from the sun as much as possible. She told Stylist: "I'm really scared of the sun. During the day, I use the Gentle Protective Emulsion moisturiser with SPF. And I don't go to bed without putting on La Creme. It smells really good and when I wake up, I know my face is going to feel really good."

" and for that
NORTH LIBERTY — The five men who want to serve on the city council faced the voters Wednesday night for a public forum. The Oct. 21 event was held in the council chambers and was co-sponsored by North Liberty Development and the Iowa City Area Chamber of Commerce.
Mayor Thomas Salm will run unopposed for another mayoral term, while Councilman Gerry Kuhl was joined by challengers Brian Wayson, David Grex, and Jonathan Waller for two open council seats. Kuhl took the opportunity to formally endorse Wayson as a replacement for Councilman James Wozniak, whose term is expiring.

All too often spectacles are unfortunately still seen as a necessary evil: we notice that we cannot see as well as we used to, go for an eye test and then have the appropriate spectacles fitted by the optician. This takes time and money. And sometimes when we actually receive our new spectacles we are not totally satisfied with the result.
Our eyes are our most important sensory organ. Poor vision impairs our quality of life and can even pose a hazard, for example, in traffic or at work. Regrettably, the need for good vision is often underestimated.
Spectacles are unique for every individual. Before production, no one knows how well the wearer will actually see or how comfortable he or she will find their new spectacles in everyday life. Demos and the insertion of the appropriate lenses in the trial frame by your optician may give an initial impression of the quality of vision you will have in your final spectacles, but it is impossible to try on the finished product beforehand!
What is decisive is that the optician recommends the best possible product to fit your personal vision problem, habits and, of course, budget. In other words, the work of an optician - like that of a doctor – is a matter of trust. We at ZEISS would like to give you a few tips here on BETTER VISION about what preparations you should make before going to your optician and how you can ensure that you receive the right advice. Our goal is to ensure that you enjoy the same natural vision with your new eye wear as during the time before you needed spectacles.
The moment you see things more clearly. At ZEISS Vision Care, when we think about the future, we imagine how people will see the world. Today over 200 million people around the world place their trust in the quality of ZEISS.

POSMarket.com.au , a provider of Point of Sale (POS) solutions including hardware and software discusses the Value Added Reseller advantage.
It takes a lot of hard work to create a successful business. It only takes a bad idea or lazy attitude to bring it all down.
When selecting the Value Added Reseller, the diligent business owner will be up to date in the selection process. That is, the decision maker will make time to research any product and/or services of the VAR as well as make time to validate and evaluate any reference on the quality of the services and installation offered.
Investing in a Value Added Reseller is always a plus if the business growth is expected to enhance. Taking the time to incorporate such a tool requires investigation.
The business owner will need to invest some time to check out everything about the Value Added Reseller that is relevant to their company and what they have to offer.
Ask questions and then ask more. It matters to the company's bottom line that the business owner gets all the right answers.
It is best to have compatibility and to know what kind of training the business will need. This will enable the business owner to focus on the strengths of the Value Added Reseller, thus ensuring a profitable fit.
Also, be wary of the 'one size fits all' Value Added Reseller. It's realistically not possible. Each business has its own unique requirements and customisation is the best way to go.
Work with the cream of the crop in the talent pool that will be assigned to the company. This relationship will serve the best interests of the business.
Last but not the least, pay a bit extra and get a test run. It may save lots of headaches and stress on both the business owner and the Value Added Reseller.

As an author, I often hear from readers, but never more so than when I brought my Weddings by Bella series to an end back in 2010. "We want more of Bella!" my readers cried out in facebook posts and emails. "More of Aunt Rosa! More of Uncle Laz and the whole Rossi clan! More of those wacky ladies from Splendora, Texas! More of that hunky Brock Benson!"
Well, wait no longer! In January of 2013, Bella and the gang return in a spin-off series titled "Weddings by Design." In this fun new collection of wedding based novels, readers can hang out with old friends and meet plenty of new ones, too, including four new point of view characters, who all happen to be in the wedding business and vying for Bella's attention.
Hang on for the ride, folks! Sometimes you get what you ask for!

I do. My cat does. DH did too, and so did the fireman collecting money at the coin drop.
The leopard I'm talking about is my Textile Studio Capris Jacket in leopard print fleece. When I originally purchased the fleece from Fabric Mart for a chemo hat for Stacey, I purchased extra because I wanted something "leopard" in my wardrobe in addition to my leopard print skirt made several months back. I finished this jacket a little over a month ago but haven't modeled it, nor have done a review yet. Hopefully I'll get a review done tomorrow or Tuesday.
Here is the jacket front:
Jacket front different angle:
And now the back:
The pattern style wasn't changed much from the pattern, but it does look different. The first time I made this jacket was for my lingerie ensemble for the Lingerie Contest. I used a black panne velvet with lots of drape. However the fleece gives the jacket an altogether different look. One of the things I don't like about fleece jackets are the facings. They tend to flop around if not tacked down, so I took a tip from Nancy Cornwall (auther of the Polarfleece books) to turn the facings to the outside. I think that really makes the jacket. I trimmed the edges of the fleece with black lycra in my stash. The sleeves are long, but I can turn them up to a cuff as shown in my photos or worn down to cover the top part of my hands when it's chilly outside.
DH gave it a nod and said he liked it. The fireman at the coin drop growled at me and asked me to show him my "claws". I must admit, it was the first time I've ever been embarrassed about my short, stumpy nails. He was disappointed that I didn't have ones to match the jacket LOL. Jake LOVES my jacket. When he sleeps, it looks like it was made just for him. And as for me? It was exactly the jacket I wanted. I was thinking it would just look okay, but I loved it when it was finished.
Next up, I'm working on my CJ Wrap top shown below
. It's been hanging out on my sewing center in my kitchen for a week since I've been busy with prom dress alterations. I have to cut the sleeves for it, but they will be 3/4 length because I'm short on fabric. This velour stretch knit from Spandex House in NYC has been in my stash for maybe 3 years? Possibly more. The only thing I don't like about it is that it "changes color" depending on the angle. The colors in the pic look really bold (that's to my liking), but it changes to light and frosty coloring from a different angle. Love the intensity, not the paleness, so this chameleon fabric is not my fave.
The fabric does not have the recommended stretch so I had to use smaller seam allowances too. It's about 20-25% stretch. I'll probably end up taking in the waist side seams a little but I'll need to alter with a swayback tuck above the waist before cutting out another top from this pattern. The sewing side of my brain envisions a LBD from a black knit from this pattern. Lengthen it, tweak it, and voila! It would make a perfect dress. Gotta love those princess seams too.
More later. Or hopefully sooner.

Hi Kat, I too am way behind on blog reading and when I do get to read I often don't have time to stop and comment. Your jacket looks so cozy - just right for the bleak weather we have at the moment over here. I like the idea of turning the facings to the outside. Did you finish the edges?

Last night the Intramural Recreational Sports Department had its training of officials for the upcoming volleyball mini-league. During this training officials, of new and veteran status, sat down and went through the rules. They discussed situations, terms, and signals. One topic that became humorous was the fact that there is no "legal" or "official" signal for when the ball hits the rafters during play. Some believe the best signal is to verbalize that the ball hit the rafters or ceiling, while some other officials, with much more experience, have a much brighter idea. The other idea is to do a hand gesture pointing to the ear (representing sounds like from the game charades) then after pointing to the ear you put your arms out and act like a "raptor". So the charade signal would mean = sounds like raptor, which in turn means rafters, and then you would signal a point for whichever team has earned that point. With these two possible rulings, we realize that the second one makes much more sense but some people within the program feel the first option is better. So, a heated debate has been developed and an official report has been sent to N.I.R.S.A. "National Intramural Recreational Sports Association" and an answer on the ruling should be determined in 7 – 8 months.
On a much more SERIOUS note, the All University Cup is still a close race. With only 3 intramural events left to be finished, volleyball could be a big determining factor for the winner of the cup. In the past Kappa Alpha has been pretty good at volleyball and taken home championship shirts. However, Sigma Chi and Sigma Alpha Epsilon both have very athletic competitors and with enough determination could steal away a men's volleyball mini-league championship. The intramural volleyball season starts on Wednesday so come out to the Preston Center and watch!!!

Easy garlic butter dinner rolls
Soft and fluffy dinner rolls baked till golden and brushed with garlic and oregano-infused butter is a delicious, easy side dish recipe.
You guys, I have never been happier to see the beginning of the weekend. In. My. Life. This week has been beyond crazy. I have cooked, styled and photographed 23 recipes in the last 7 days. Most of which formed part of an el massivo Christmas shoot for a magazine. In fact, there are so many Christmas decorations in my house at the moment, I'm thinking of just leaving them there for the next two months. That's acceptable, right?!
Anyway, so yesterday when I finished editing and sending the last of the many, MANY images I took, I experienced a wave of relief like never before. And then I realised that I had neglected this little blog of mine terribly over the last two weeks and I simply had to pay it some attention. But listen, after a week of non-stop cooking and shooting, the last thing I feel like doing is do more of that. So I knew whatever I made for dinner last night would have to be done in a flash, be super tasty and be easy-peasy.
I made a very simple tomato pasta and started the prep for Friday night Pizza night (totes a thing in our house). I decided that while I was busy making dough, I might as well make a batch of my ridiculously easy dinner rolls. Seriously you guys, this recipe could not be simpler. I make the dough in my stand mixer but even by hand this will only take you a few minutes and I can not over-hype these enough!
They are so soft and fluffy on the inside and the flavour is just perfection. Brushed with garlicky butter (I added a little dried oregano too), they are so moreish. I challenge you to only have one. These are the perfect side dish to pretty much anything. A big bowl of warming chili, soups, stews and (as we did) tomato pasta with enough sauce to mop up with the pillowy bread. Even just as is, standing by the kitchen counter. Yum!
- 5 cups 750g flour (I used cake flour which gives a more delicate texture to the bread)
- 1½ teaspoons salt
- 2 cups 500ml lukewarm water
- 1 x 10g sachet instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup butter
- 3 garlic cloves crushed
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
Combine the flour and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment.
In a jug, combine the lukewarm water, yeast and sugar and mix well.
Pour the yeast mixture into the flour and mix on a low speed until the dough starts to come together. Add the oil and continue mixing until the dough has come away from the sides of the bowl. Continue mixing for another 2 minutes.
If doing this by hand, follow the same directions but once the dough comes together in the bowl, turn out onto a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes.
If needed, add a little more water. The dough needs to be soft and smooth and a little sticky.
Once the dough has been kneaded, place in a greased bowl and cover with cling film. Allow to rise for 1 hour.
After an hour, knock back the dough and form rolls (mine were just slightly smaller than a tennis ball).
Place the rolls in a baking dish of your choice lined with parchment paper.
Pre-heat the oven to 180°c.
Place the rolls in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Tap the top of the rolls, if they sound hollow they are done.
In the meantime, combine all the ingredients for the garlic butter in a small saucepan and melt together.
When the rolls come out of the oven, brush them generously with the garlic butter and serve.
More easy bread recipes you will love:
Naan bread
Potato Pecorino bread
Are you sure 3 cups of water is necessary? I made these last night and had to add about 2 1/2 additional cups of flour to get a dough that didn't stick to the sides of the mixer. It was too soft to hold a shape so I had to sort of throw blobs of dough into the baking dish. The rolls rose fine in the oven but needed an additional 15 minutes of baking and even then were not fully cooked through. I assumed that I wrote the recipe down wrong but as I check it now, it really does say 3 cups of water. Not sure where I went wrong. Perhaps you could indicate the flour quantity by weight?
These look beyond dreamy!!! Congrats on all of the great work — that's fantastic Alida!! xoxo
Oh my gosh, I can't believe how many recipes you made this week! That's amazing! And yes you should absolutely leave up those Christmas decorations. One less thing to do later. These rolls look like the perfect addition to my Thanksgiving table!
Dinner rolls may just be my ultimate weakness. I know I would inhale one too many of these! 🙂
I LOVE a good dinner roll and yours looks fantastic. Love the addition of the garlic butter.
Hi Alida,
These look delicious! Is there no 2nd rise between punching down/forming and baking?
I saw these on IG this morning and I had to come on over and check out the recipe. They looks so delicious and golden brown. Love the butter garlic topping – yum! And you go girl, 23 recipes in 7 days is impressive!
A big bowl of warm soup and a few of these would be the perfect fall meal. Thanks for sharing Alida!
Yum! Could I sprinkle some grated cheese over the rolls before baking?
Oh my gosh, these look sooo good. Garlic bread is one of my absolute favourites.

First published in Vice News February 6, 2016
Bangkok has a serious student violence problem.
In Thai media, barely a week passes without some mention of bloody brawls between students from the city's numerous vocational colleges. In 2015, more than 1,000 cases were reported in Bangkok by mid-year, many of them resulting in serious injury and even death.
As the violence has intensified, the issue is now considered a significant public health issue.
Late last month, just a week ahead of the 83rd anniversary of the founding of Rajamangala University of Technology Tawan-ok Uthentawai (simply known as Uthentawai), Bangkok's metropolitan police preemptively raided its campus and that of the school's archrival, the Pathumwan Institute of Technology, located a short walk away. The bust produced two handguns and ammunition, 55 knives, six bulletproof vests, and materials for making nail bombs.
On Monday, the day of the anniversary, an incongruously heavy security presence at Uthentawai testified to this darker side of Thailand's vocational and technical education system. Police officers and military personnel milled about, sniffer dogs patrolled the periphery, and two explosive ordnance disposal technicians stood by the front gate, which was ringed by metal detectors.
Online videos show students from a number of different colleges either ambushing or facing off with one another. They are usually armed with blunt weapons like clubs, but can also have knives and guns. A common setting is along public transportation routes, where students from opposing colleges are most likely to run into one another.
Students have been killed in drive-by assassinations, shot in cold blood on train stations, as well as routinely beaten and chased through the streets of Bangkok. While such a level of violence might seem crazy to outsiders, for those involved, rational thought plays little part in how rival students view one another.
"For me, it was never a question," explained a former Uthentawai student who left school nine years ago, who asked to be identified as "Gan."
"If I see someone from Pathumwan, we must fight. And they feel the same towards me."
Just how the vocational interschool animosity originally started remains a mystery to students and researchers alike.
Nualnong Wongtongkam, a Thai lecturer and researcher in public health at Charles Sturt University, led a team that interviewed 32 students who had been involved in clashes in order to quantify their motivations. Though vengeance figured prominently, it was rarely clear what the students were trying to avenge.
"They don't know why they have to engage in fighting with other schools," said Nualnong. "When I ask them why they do it, considering they know there is a good chance they will be injured or maybe even killed, they say, 'I know that, but if I don't fight they will chase me anyway, so better to stand and fight.' "
Gan recalled his initiation into Uthentawai in 2005.
"This started on day one for me," he said. "The seniors teach you how to carry a gun, how to conceal a knife from the police, how to love your brothers and how to hate your rivals — especially for us, Pathumwan."
Once the student is within the fold, he's among peers whose philosophy is to do almost anything for each other.
"If someone cannot afford tuition, we will all give a little money to help him pay," Gan offered as an example. "Of course we would also help to pay [bail] if one of our class enforcers is arrested for doing a hit."
In this culture, it doesn't take long for the students to build a strong sense of brotherhood. Nualnong thinks this sense of belonging and self-worth is crucial to understanding why vocational and technical colleges have for so long been plagued with hyper-masculine reactive violence.
The perception of vocational colleges in Thailand has long been held as far inferior to that of established universities. The result, she says, is that some students themselves feel inferior and form a strong bond with their classmates, with whom they can readily identify. The resulting insularity is exacerbated by the fact only an estimated 10 percent of vocational and technical college students are female.
But this school spirit in the Bangkok vocational student scene can have an almost tribal effect, with an unquestioning adoption of animosity against rival institutions. This led Gan to regularly change his route when returning home from college, often taking multiple buses even though a direct option was available.
"They [Pathumwan] will watch you for your routes, to know where you live and how you travel after class in case they want to attack," he said, adding simply, "We would do the same to them."
An art graduate of Silpakorn University who asked to be identified as "Por" recalled experiencing this menace years ago.
He was having a late lunch after class at a spot near Victory Monument, one of Bangkok's busiest traffic intersections and a major public transportation hub, when he was kicked to the floor from behind. A student from Indara Construction School placed a gun on the table, asking, "Do you want to eat your food, or my bullet?"
"I didn't know him," Por remarked with a shake of the head. "But it turned out someone from my school put some graffiti on something of theirs. He saw my uniform and so he picked on me."
Nualnong's research has emphasized that the wearing of distinctive uniforms in this hostile atmosphere, as vocational students are required to do, precipitates what would otherwise be easily avoidable fights, particularly on public transport. As a result, there's a prevalence of anxiety among students traveling alone or in uniform.
Several measures have been considered in an attempt to address the bloodshed, from no longer accepting students with tattoos or piercings, to considering universalizing uniforms or abolishing them altogether, sending rival students to army-run boot camps — even introducing a free student auto repair service, launched by police last month, to occupy their time and keep them out of trouble. But no formal studies have assessed the effectiveness of such provisions.
This should soon change, as the increasing severity of attacks forces officials to respond to the issue more thoroughly and preemptively, beyond the conducting of police raids for weapons. Innocent bystanders and commuters find themselves caught in the fray and risking injury, and the belligerence can also target teachers. "It takes courage and determination to be in our shoes," remarked a hairstylist instructor at Samut Prakan Vocational College not long ago.
"Now anyone on the streets can be injured from their fighting," said Nualnong. "It's not just the students anymore."

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going – Jim Rohn
Our mind is actually an interesting beast. It can be really powerful and make us achieve the unthinkable. Watching at some of the world records acts that involve our physical body to go to the next level, it surely reassures how powerful our minds can be. A positive thinking can make a world of difference to what we can achieve in life.
Though I talk about being positive, there are tons of these habits that we carry as baggage with us which can easily cripple us as an individual. We know we have it within us but fail or ignore it being there. It is important for us to recognize such habits and to have a happier, easier and a positive life, we need to get rid of them.
Below are my take on few dangerous habits (in-my-opinion) that I feel we get controlled via our beautiful mind. Don't underestimate the power of your mind, it can take you places or it can make you fall to places you never wanted to venture !!!
1. Be ambiguous (if needed)
See life like a mirror and accept what it gives you. Seeing things always as black-or-white can always cloud your mind away from accepting exceptions. It is not always that you are right and the other person is wrong or one method is good while other bad or it needed not be this way or that way … There can be areas of gray which we must learn to experiment with.
Such mindset create tremendous problem for you and people around. In these situations, you are so critical about what you do and you put unfair stress onto yourself. Make a genuine effort to understand the other side of the story – there is lots to learn from people around you.
Never permit failure to become a habit – William Frederick
2. Don't get cozy !!!
Our mind is always apprehensive of uncertainties and it always places us in the safest of zones. The mind is scary of the unknown and change is uncomfortable for many of us to even think. How many of you out there have got comfortable with the company you work for? Are you scared of change? This is fundamentally a mind game.
As we talk about getting out of comfort zone, what really hold us back is the fear for change. The best way to overcome this is to challenge your comfort zone and stretch beyond what you are doing, stretch beyond what you are capable off, stretch beyond what others perceive is possible by you – your mind is what controls you, high time you start controlling it: Period :).
We first make our habits, and then our habits make us – Dryden, John
In career, just like what got you to where you are – doesn't assure you where you would in the future. So break the shackles and take a positive step to do things outside your comfort zone.
3. Don't let your mind dominate you
Good habits, once established are just as hard to break as are bad habits – Robert Puller
This is a tough one. Most of the times our instincts about what we feel dictates what we do. Simple example is – I don't feel great as the day starts and I tend to skip a gym workout. Remember, you can hardly predict what you feel maybe in an hours time :). Life is about dominating your mind – not the other way.
As we dissect our mind, it always tries to select the path of lowest resistance. In other words, it is our laziness that is playing games :).
4. begrudge is poisonous
When you envy someone, let it not poison your thoughts – it can be a devil whispering in your ears and throwing you all over the place. If you don't have an appetite for this, keep away – as it can be really distracting and irritating from time-to-time.
I always say this to many, focusing on yourself can take you a longer distance than looking at the other person. Always realize that you don't control what the other person does but on the contrary you control what you can achieve. So focus on yourself now. Get a life and be grateful to what you have got. The future presents infinite possibilities, so don't question your ability to achieve it.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit – Aristotle
5. Be a student
In the IT industry, I personally feel this is again a mind game. We don't know everything and don't assume you know everything. Be open to learning the same subject from your peers, subordinate, leader and others.
Have an open mind and don't close your thoughts to learn something new from what you hear. Our mind always tries to play games in comparing with what we already know and our instinct is to find faults all the time. In such situations, you are bound to miss out the smallest of learning that was possible. If you want to learn something, cut your ego and become a student again.
Final thoughts
The final thought as I sign away is – don't be the over-thinker. As we discussed before, let the gray areas exist, don't analyze too much, have a macro plan and execute the micro plans as they happen. Be ready for change and train your mind.
So what are your thoughts on this subject. Do you agree, disagree or have experience to share? Please feel free to drop me a note.

First to start things of, let's get one fact straight. I am Bernardine anak Sempurai, the only daughter of my lovely parents. Growing up I never felt deprived, but the same time I never felt spoiled. This is because my parents raise me well, with full of love. I thank my parents who raised me in the faith, along with my two brothers, and taught me to love God with all my heart through their example and faithfulness. Anyway it doesn't matter how my parents raised me, because I love them /please
More about me... /wahaha
I am a random person, a very straightforward person, simple living, fast learner, so ambitious and I'm always there for anyone. Also, I am adventurous by nature because I love to take up new challenges. For me, it gives me the enthusiasm and encouragement to work towards excellence. Another thing that I firmly believe in is that one should always strive towards excellent and individual betterment, in whatever form it may be. I do have a good communication skills and a good confidence level too. I always keen to do things that I thought impossible to do,because I love to challenge myself with something new from life, as I believe that people around us can make us learn so many things :). I personally believe that to be a good person, one should help others, right? Perhaps, one day I want to help save lives one day, either mentally, physically, and emotionally.
Apart from that, I am a good listener too and very passionate about music and art. I love surfing the internet, listening to music, watching movies, drama etc.. as these things make me feel relax and calm.

SHANGHAI - Michael Phelps took another small step toward next year's Olympics, and this time it was a winning one.
SHANGHAI - Michael Phelps took another small step toward next year's Olympics, and this time it was a winning one.
After losing his first two events at the world championships, Phelps won the 200-meter butterfly for a record fifth time yesterday. His time of 1 minute, 53.34 seconds was well off the world mark he set two years ago in Rome, but these days, Phelps is making progress.
"It was 11/2 seconds faster than last year," he said. "I felt like myself the last 100 of that race, especially that last 25. I didn't feel like I was dying and barely able to get my arms out of the water and like there was a piano on my back."
The two-time Olympic 200 fly champion went out fast, leading Japan's Takeshi Matsuda through the first 100 meters before Matsuda overtook him on the final turn. Phelps fought back and surged ahead for good a few meters into the last lap.
Matsuda earned the silver at 1:54.01, and China's Wu Peng, who had dealt Phelps two losses in his "bread-and-butter" event this year, took the bronze in 1:54.67.
"What he doesn't have is that kick on the last 50 where he just leaves everybody, so that's the next step," said Bob Bowman. Phelps' coach
Phelps still looks to improve.
"I'm super happy with swimming faster than I did last year, but I still want more in that event," Phelps said. "I want to be faster. That was a little too close for my comfort, but that's the race I sort of came on the scene with in 2000."
Phelps led off the 4x100 relay when the United States took bronze on the opening night of the meet Sunday, then settled for silver behind teammate Ryan Lochte in the 200 free on Tuesday.
"I had written down in my journal all the times I wanted to do at this meet, and so far I'm on pace," Phelps said. "Every single one that I've written down, I'm right at it."
Finally winning a race was a shot of confidence for Phelps, who has 14 Olympic gold medals and a record 23 world titles.
"We need a little pat on the back," Bowman said. "Everybody needs that."
Italy's Federica Pellegrini made history on the fourth night of the eight-day meet at the Oriental Sports Center. Pellegrini won the 200 freestyle to become the first woman to sweep the 200 and 400 at consecutive worlds.
Pellegrini rallied from seventh early in the race to fifth at the halfway mark and was third heading into the final lap before finishing in 1:55.58.
"You've just got to always believe in yourself. It's great to be a part of history," she said. "This was my race, and nobody was going to enter my house."

A home page and members' area which is very similar to the tour if not the same. You have a viewing of the most recent video and then samples of what else is new. The site is also set up so that you can view it on you mobile tablets and you find links for that right there on the home page. And then you can start to browse. The main menu links you to the Videos, Bonuses, Men, Photos some promo sign-ups for others sites and a web cam site. But looking at the videos first:
I found 33 of these dating back only six months or so which tells me that the update schedule is around one per week and it is being kept to. You get a good range of viewing options with this site, you can download in up to 10 versions of WMV and Mp4 files from a low resolution up to 720p, and I found up to six versions in which to stream online from a very low 160p up to 720p. The stream has a slider that shows you thumbnails of action as you browse through it so you can easily jump around if you want; that can be useful when, as here, you only have full scenes and not clips.
Videos run for various lengths of time, but are always a good length, around 20 or 25 minutes, and they are also a god quality. Although a lot of these guys are amateurs there is a mark of professionalism about them and that must be down to the director and producer, Marko. He knows what you want and he gets it from his cast. There's a mix of solo and couple-action movies here with all kinds of locations and all kinds of guys. Though all fit and sexy. You've got a model index where you can see the 24 hunks currently on the site and they vary in looks and in age, though it looks like they are mainly in their 20s and 30s. Each one has a write up and stats and you can Tweet and Like with social networking links and buttons.
That is as about as interactive as you the though, I didn't see rates or comments or add to favourites functions, but I did see good quality images in the photo galleries that came with each scene, and in the Photos area. These are scaled down to fit screen but go full size if you want, you browse them one at a time online and download individually; I didn't see zip files of slideshows. I did see 400 bonus videos though (non-exclusive and some of them were straight). These streamed in a Shockwave player which would occasionally mess up, but that might have been my version, but you can also downloaded them with a good set of options. There is help and support available if you have any trouble.
Bottom Line:
For me, Men Of Montreal comes across as a top, professional hardcore site, yet with some first timers and amateurs getting in on the action. It's all well directed, it's totally hot, it's classic hardcore with solos and some bonuses, and you get loads of ways to view the content. Updates are regular and the price is right. Go grab it!

Teller talks!
Teller is known as the silent, shorter half of Penn & Teller.
Onstage, on-screen and during interviews, the burly Penn Jillette almost always speaks on behalf of the entertainers.
Teller, though, was calling from his home in Las Vegas � a couple of hours before heading to the nearby Rio All-Suites Hotel & Casino, where he would perform with Jillette in their long-running magic show with comedy � to talk about their new film, Tim�s Vermeer.
The movie is a documentary that tracks Texas inventor and computer pioneer Tim Jenison as he endeavors to understand and replicate how 17th-century Dutch master Johannes Vermeer crafted photo-realistic paintings such as Girl With a Pearl Earring more than 150 years before the advent of photography.
The film � scheduled for limited release on Friday � was directed by Teller, is narrated by Jillette and features renowned painter David Hockney.
Q: You spent eight years working on this film. It made the Academy Award shortlist for documentaries, and Sony Pictures Classics is giving it a theatrical release. Are you surprised by the degree of attention you�ve gotten for a film that, let�s face it, doesn�t have �commercial potential� written all over it?
A: It�s an incredibly great surprise.
It�s a very personal film for me, Penn and Tim, and for everyone who has worked on it. This has been a pet project that we�ve all had a deep love for, and, to me, it�s about the secret everyone in the arts knows but no one outside the arts really realizes � which is that the path to beauty is always slogging through mud.
The public usually see only the final result. They see the finished Vermeer. They don�t see Vermeer hunched over his canvas for six months.
Q: The story goes that Jillette went to dinner with his friend, Jenison, intent on talking about anything but entertainment. Jenison told him that he planned to replicate Vermeer�s studio so that he could work under the same circumstances as Vermeer, and Jillette declared, �This is a film.� How did you end up directing it?
A: Penn�s vain attempt to get away from show business for even a single evening turned into one of the biggest show-business projects of his life.
My directing was the second phase of this. The first phase was that Penn and Tim flew to Los Angeles and pitched the idea of doing this as a documentary film to a lot of people, people like PBS and BBC � all the usual suspects you�d think would make a movie about art. And nobody bit.
It�s not hard to understand. We basically said, �We want to make a movie about a guy painting a painting.� It doesn�t sound like the most exciting thriller that people would run to the mall cinema to see.
Q: Do you think that executives assumed, because it was you and Jillette, that the pitch was part of an elaborate scam?
A: Possibly � Penn & Teller are noted for lying!
So Penn and Tim came home somewhat bedraggled. Then they began to talk and said: �Tim is a video expert surrounded by all kinds of video equipment. Why couldn�t we just make this movie ourselves?� Then they realized that they needed somebody to direct it, and what I�ve been told is that Penn said: �Teller has directed our Rio show for years. He�s directed theater. He�s directed some short movies. I think, if he does this movie, it�ll be different from what we expect it to be.�
My father earned his living as a commercial artist, and my mother earned her living selling art supplies. I�ve been in the world of the arts for a long time. It had already caught my imagination.
Q: What was it like to walk the tightrope on this, in the sense that you didn�t have an ending until you had an ending � until Tim could or couldn�t create, in essence, his own Vermeer?
A: That�s the weird thing about a documentary. If it�s really a documentary and not a fake one, you don�t know how it�s going to come out.
The more we looked at the footage and the more we thought about it, .?.?. the more I realized that this is a film about this particular human being, Tim Jenison, who is a very unlikely hero.
Q: You and Jillette met 40 years ago this year. Did you ever think the act would last so long?
A: Certainly not during the first year, when we spent almost all of our time fighting and thinking fighting was bad. Now, after 40 years, we know that fighting is very, very good.
You don�t want an artistic partner where you sit down and everything is just �Oh, yes, that�s a nice idea. Let�s do that.�

The South Sudan government and its opponents have signed a ceasefire agreement, ending over a month of deadly clashes. The conflict has left thousands dead and driven more than half a million from their homes.
Representatives from South Sudan's government and the opposition agreed on a ceasefire deal on Thursday. The agreement was signed in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, where the two sides have been working to negotiate an end the deadly conflict for several weeks.
The deal on Thursday stipulated that fighting would be halted within 24 hours. Initial reports did not provide further details on the terms of the peace deal, which the East African bloc Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) helped broker.
"Despite the signature on the cessation of hostilities, we have no illusions that the implementation will be easy," government chief negotiator Nhial Deng said, according to DPA news agency.
IGAD's chief mediator, Seyoum Mesfin, echoed this sentiment.
"I believe that the postwar challenges will be greater than the war itself. The process will be...unpredictable and delicate," said Mesfin.
Clashes erupted in Africa's youngest country on December 15 when Vice President Riek Machar attempted to stage a coup against President Salva Kiir's government. The former vice president denied responsibility. The duo are long-time rivals, with President Kiir having ousted ex-Vice President Machar from his post in July. The two are also split along ethnic lines. Kiir belongs to the Dinka group, while Machar is Nuer.
Thousands have died in the subsequent fighting and more than half a million have been forced to flee their homes in that time, according to the latest figures from the United Nations.
UN: 'Mass atrocities' in South Sudan
On Friday, the UN's top humanitarian official announced evidence of mass atrocities by both sides of the conflict following a visit to the country.
Assistant secretary-general for human rights, Ivan Simonovic, said child soldiers were increasingly being used. He also cited reports of mass killings, extrajudicial executions, arbitrary detentions and sexual violence.
He added that the unrest could now be classified as an "internal armed conflict," meaning that war crimes law applies. He called for a fact-finding commission to investigate atrocities and hold those responsible accountable.

At a May 24 hearing, 'Crimea's Supreme Court' dismissed an appeal against a court verdict extending detention term of Enver Mamutov and Zevri Abseitov, two Crimean Tatars charged with terrorism, wrote on her Facebook page Alexander Krylenkova, Coordinator of Crimea's Human Rights Center NGO.
"Enver Mamutov is a father of 7, the youngest being 3 months old. After his arrest, Enver's mother has had to earn her living alone. Lawyer Emil Kurbedinov filed a petition requesting that Mamutov not be held in a cage during the trial because that way his human dignity is debased," Krylenkova wrote.
According to Krylenkova, the judges dismissed Emile Kurbedinov's claim that the investigation failed to prove Enver Mamutov and Zevri Abseitov's guilt.
Mamutov told the judges that he saw no point in interfering with the investigation, because he knew what the verdict would be like.
Zevri Abseitov's lawyer cited favorable references the Mufti, neighbors and others gave about his client. He also denied charges that Abseitov is a member of any public organization.
"He professes traditional Islam, and he got all of his books from the mosque. Zevri sees no point in interfering with the investigation, because he knows what the verdict will be like," wrote the human rights activist.
Despite the absurdity of the decision, the judges ordered that the two 'suspects' be held in detention as a preventive measure.
It was reported earlier that after a May 12 raid in Bakhchisarai police arrested four Crimean Tatars - Zevri Abseitov, Remzi Memetov, Rustem Abiltarov and Enver Mamutov.
Later on, Natalia Poklonskaya, the so-called 'Prosecutor of Crimea', made a statement saying that four members of the Hizb ut-Tahrir, an organization outlawed in Russia for terrorism, were arrested in Bakhchisarai on Thursday.
Mejlis Chairman Refat Chubarov does not rule out the possibility of new searches and detentions, calling on Crimean Tatars to be more careful.

Hot-shooting Vanderbilt downs Northeastern, 79-49
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Vanderbilt shooters caught on fire while warming up for the Southeastern Conference portion of the schedule.
Rod Odom had a career-high 21 points, Damian Jones scored 16 and Eric McClellan added 14 to lead the Commodores' torrid shooting performance in a 79-49 blowout of Northeastern on Saturday.
Odom, with four 3-pointers, and McClellan, with a pair of treys, were perfect from beyond the arc for Vanderbilt (8-4). The Commodores shot 76.0 percent from the field the first half and 83.3 from 3-point range (5 of 6) to lead 46-18 at intermission.
"It helps us a lot, especially after a low-scoring game like Saint Louis where they really shut us down and they really gave us a lot of trouble," Odom said. "So I feel like this gives us a lot of confidence going forward."
Reggie Spencer led the Huskies (3-11) with 15 points, and David Walker hit three treys in the second half. Northeastern had defeated Georgetown earlier, and seven of its 10 previous losses had been by five points or less.
"I also thought that our defensive play was solid and so maybe the best two-ended effort that we've had this season," Vanderbilt Coach Kevin Stallings said. "We certainly haven't put anybody away like that. That is a good team that doesn't have a great record right now. They've beaten Georgetown, they've had an extremely tough schedule and have lost a ton of close games."
The Commodores made 17 of their first 22 shots for a 77.3 field-goal percentage. At one point, VU hit nine straight field goals - going 8 ½ minutes without a miss.
Odom's 3-pointer that extended the lead to 44-17 pushed Vanderbilt's percentage to 78.3, one game after the Commodores had their poorest shooting performance in Monday's loss to Saint Louis.
"You never expect to shoot the ball like that," Stallings said.
McClellan missed one shot on his way to 12 first-half points and was 4-for-4 on free throws for the game. Kyle Fuller didn't miss at all to finish with 11 points, while Jones also had six blocks for Vanderbilt.
Referees even waived off Jones' turn-around desperation shot that banked in at the buzzer, after he initially bobbled the pass.
McClellan scored eight straight points for Vanderbilt - including two 3-pointers, the first after his steal — for an early 10-4 lead. He had 12 points in the first 8 minutes. His second steal led to Kyle Fuller's fast-break layup and an 18-8 advantage.
"Eric hit some shots and got us off to a really good start, and then other guys kind of jumped in," Stallings said. "I thought his shooting, his penetration, just his speed he played with were very effective for us and a key to how we started the game. And obviously the start led into how we continued to play."
Marco Banegas-Flores cut it to 18-11 on his trey, but the Commodores doubled up the score 28-14 on Dai-Jon Parker's 3.
Fuller stretched it to 31-15 on an over-the-shoulder reverse after dropping the ball as the shot clock expired.
Jones scored eight straight points including a dunk as Vanderbilt stretched it to 39-15, and Odom's jumper made it 41-15 to cap a 20-2 run.
The Huskies, meanwhile, missed nine straight field goals between Spencer's jumper at 10:07 to pull within 21-13 and his layup 2:34 before halftime at 41-17.
Vanderbilt finished 30 of 48 from the field (62.5 percent) and was 8 for 12 on 3-pointers (66.7 percent). The Commodores also had 21 assists, led by seven from Parker.
"I think when the guys are making plays for each other, it's a lot easier for guys to score," Odom said. "It's a lot easier to make shots when you're getting wide-open shots as opposed to contested shots you're creating for yourself. I think that played a big part in why we shot so well."
Northeastern arrived early in Nashville on Thursday due to weather concerns and will return to Boston Sunday to prepare for Wednesday's Colonial Athletic Association opener against UNC-Wilmington.
Vanderbilt visits Alabama in its SEC opener on Tuesday.
"This was an excellent performance and the kind of performance that you want going into league play," Stallings said.

Just days after being placed on waivers and subsequently bought out of his contract by the Montreal Canadiens, veteran center Scott Gomez reportedly is meeting with the San Jose Sharks this weekend.
After scoring twice in 38 games last season, Gomez's tumultuous time in Montreal came to an end, leaving the 2000 Calder Trophy winner a free agent. According to ESPN's Pierre LeBrun, a number of teams have since inquired about Gomez, including the Anaheim Ducks and New Jersey Devils, where Gomez started his career. After the Carolina Hurricanes were rumored to be looking at the 33-year-old center, the Raleigh News & Observer reported that they are not interested.
If Gomez comes to San Jose, it will be a reunion of sorts. Sharks assistant coach Larry Robinson was Devils coach during Gomez's first three seasons in New Jersey. The pair won a Stanley Cup together in 2000.
Despite the Sharks' rumored interest in Gomez, they appear to have plenty of centers on their roster. They signed James Sheppard on Friday, adding him to a group that already includes Joe Thornton, Logan Couture, Joe Pavelski, Andrew Desjardins, Michal Handzus, and Tommy Wingels.
