On a recommendation by a friend of mine who works for River Forest, to call Ryan Geyer plumbing and sewer. Ryan came out right away, quoted a very fair price, and scheduled the work right away. His crew was knowledgeable, professional, thanks Jim and Andy!Read More
We had a great experience working with Ryan and his team...he explained everything thoroughly and gave us a very competitive quote for the services we were looking for. He was able to schedule the work quickly and they completed the job in the time he estimated.Read More
On two separate occasions we have needed a plumber immediately. Geyer plumbing was there promptly and calmly assessed the emergency situation. They stopped the leak quickly and quoted a fair and reasonable price to fix our issues. I can't thank them enough for taking the stress out of our problem and getting the job done right.Read More
Geyer Plumbing is reliable, dependable, & honest. From a small job to a major plumbing disaster, I am glad I have Geyer to rely on. I would recommend Geyer Plumbing to anyone that needs plumbing work. Be it Ryan, Kevin, or any of the staff, I feel they are knowledgeable, professional, and truly concerned.Read More
I called Ryan. He immediately responded. His brother Kevin came when I asked. He was amazing. In my 11 years in River Forest, we have spent a fortune on plumbing and I have never met such a professional plumber until Kevin. Will never use anyone else as long as I have plumbing!Read More
I called 2 plumbing companies before I accidentally saw a Geyer truck. I called them, they came right out and began the work early the next day and finished within a few hours, a job that the other plumbers said would take 2 days.Read More
I really needed help with my sump pump and yard drainage so I tried digging a trench for a french drain. Needless to say that failed so I called upon Ryan and he came up with a plan and solved our problem. A++Read More
Geyer Plumbing came out to my client's home in Maywood. Although they were very busy, they came out and gave an estimate the same day, and got to work the next day. My client was very happy with the promptness and quality customer service.Read More
Was working on some bathroom remodel and had a little issue with the bathtub, called Geyer and Eric came over that afternoon, fixed the issue right away, cleaned up, made sure everything was working. Always a good experience with the Geyer family.Read More
The best plumbing contractor, I will ONLY use Geyer Plumbing from now on!!! His whole crew is amazing, clean, and professional. His prices are very reasonable and he DOESN'T try to up sell stuff you do not need and he guarantees his work!!!Read More
Ryan Geyer Plumbing is great. Showed up on time, very very neat and cleaned. Very affordable not a rip off at all. Has also come out in an emergency very quickly. I have priced other plumbers and he is more affordable. Will only use him.Read More
This was the second time we have used Geyer, and both times there service and work was outstanding! They came the same day - finished the same day - and left everything cleaner than when they got here.Read More
These guys have been serving my house for over 12 years and have given me great service at a fair price all along. Their father did the rehab work on our house in 2004 and I have been calling on them for small repairs and new equipment installs ever since. Ryan and the crew are top notch in my book.Read More
Ryan Geyer and his family business have been providing superior plumbing advice and service for all our needs for over 20 years. His team of professionals are knowledgeable, capable, considerate, and fair.Read More
Had a problem with our outdoor spigot, shaking, noise and low water pressure. Recent plumber wanted to charge crazy price and change pipes. I called Geyer and and Andy came out, He simplified everything clearly, replaced the spigot and some pipe and was done in under an hour. He was very polite and informative and charged a fair price.Read More
We just had a gentleman named Andy leave after rodding out our main line. The guys were so friendly and arrived right at 10am as scheduled. He was able to quickly diagnose and give us an estimate before doing the work. They left the basement cleaner than it was, too.Read More
I had a major leak in my basement due to my bathtub. Andy and Dave came out earlier than expected on a Saturday and were clean and professional in fixing my problem. They walked me through what went wrong and quoted me an excellent price.Read More
Great service at reasonable rates! We just had Eric out for a second job; first dealing with a bathroom valve leak and then with a gas line hookup for a new dryer. Geyer sets up appointments quickly, arrives promptly, and leaves everything neat and tidy.Read More
Courteous, efficient and knowledgeable. Jim and Joe saved me first thing on a Monday morning; returning my call on a Sunday afternoon when 3 other plumbers didn't. Nice guys doing thankless work - I'm grateful. They even clean up - really pleased with them.Read More
The service is excellent. He leaves the area very clean and is respectful of the home. What stands out the most is that he has integrity and is very honest. He is very prompt, right on time. I would tell friends and family to hire him.Read More
They are doing a great job. I am impressed by their work. They are prompt and professional. They are attentive and willing to go the extra mile when explaining the services to my wife. I would use them again.Read More

The Carlton House desk with its novel design was presented as a gift to the Prince Regent (later King George IV). It looked elegant and light, but still had plenty of storage, was immediately copied and became very popular.
This model has been textured in mahogany with a bold satinwood inlay. It has a total of ten drawers of assorted sizes, four pigeon holes, and three lockable cupboards. The desk has been built with two secret compartments in which to hide papers, jewelery, or other treasures. One is a hidden drawer; the other a false bottom in the central cupboard. There are three keys smart-propped to the cupboard doors which are used as handles.

Review: Forty Creek Portwood Reserve 2012 Whisky
Posted by Arctic Wolf on September 13, 2012
Forty Creek Whisky has for the past several years produced a special limited release whisky and allowed the public to participate in its release by offering to let those who pre-order the whisky to choose their own numbered bottle(s). These special release whiskies are built upon the foundation of the company's flagship whisky, Forty Creek Barrel Select, and are actually versions of this whisky which have spent additional time finishing in certain selected oak barrels. This year's special release is the Forty Creek Portwood Reserve – 2012 Whisky.
This is the actually the second edition (lot 061) of the Portwood Reserve; the first edition (lot 060) was a very limited bottling released only in Ontario in 2009. As you have already determined, what makes this whisky special is that this Forty Creek Whisky has been finished in Port Wine Barrels. I am one of the lucky few who managed to buy a few bottles of the first edition 3 years ago, and as you can see by my 2009 review (see review here), I found this first edition of the Portwood Whisky very much to my liking. Of course, this means that I am delighted to have been sent a pre-release bottle of the second edition such that I can share my thoughts here on my website. This whisky is produced at 45 % alcohol by volume and is limited to only 6600 bottles and will be available in limited markets across Canada.
Here is an excerpt from my review:
"… The scents and smells rising into the breezes above the glass remind me of dark ripe BC cherries, blackberries and raspberries. Some dry fruit sensations (reminiscent of raisins and prunes) are part of the overall fruit and berry aroma. Subtle but firm impressions of cinnamon and cloves join in with a bit of sweet Demerara sugar thrown in for good measure. There are strong impressions of oak and orange peel in the air as well as hints of rye spice… "

Review: Forty Creek Portwood Reserve 2012 Whisky
Included with the review is a very nice cocktail, the Portwood Manhattan. Please enjoy my review and the included cocktail, cheers!

Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering
- Area/Department Website: Civil and Environmental Engineering
- Advising Info: Advising
- More Info: Loading...
Environmental engineers use their expertise to improve human health, the environment and quality of life. For example, environmental engineers may help purify drinking water, prevent water pollution or develop strategies to manage toxic or hazardous waste.
The primary focus of our environmental engineering program is water quality and water availability. However, we also offer a number of elective courses relating to air quality, solid waste management and renewable energy.
What Will I Learn?
Successful engineering students arrive at the University with a strong background in math and science. We recommend students have taken physics and chemistry courses in high school and are prepared to take calculus as freshmen.
Our program teaches students to apply basic science and engineering principles to solve environmental problems. The curriculum prepares students for the responsible and sustainable management of natural resources.
Graduates of the bachelor's degree in environmental engineering should be able to:
- Apply their engineering knowledge and problem-solving skills in a professional environment
- Understand and design environmental engineering systems
- Work in multidisciplinary teams
- Continue their education through graduate studies or ongoing professional development hours
- Contribute to society at large through an understanding of and ability to communicate technical, social, environmental and ethical issues
- Be aware of contemporary issues and engage in life-long learning
Degree Requirements
Recommended Schedule
View the recommended schedule on the course catalog.
Please note that requirements and course offerings may change, and you should consult your advisor to ensure your course schedule meets your individual needs.
The environmental engineering degree program requires coursework in four main areas:
- University core curriculum requirements
- Basic sciences, including biology, chemistry, math and physics
- Engineering science and design
- Technical electives
Students are required to take two capstone classes during the senior year. Capstone courses give you an opportunity to apply the knowledge you've gained during your degree program toward realistic engineering design problems.
Students must also take the Fundamentals of Engineering Examination administered by the Nevada Board of Professional Engineers. This exam is generally taken during the spring of your senior year. Register for ENGR 490 in order to have the exam recorded on your transcript.
Career Options
Environmental engineers can enjoy a range of career paths and work environments. They may work in an office setting, collaborating with planners and other engineers to develop new projects. They may consult with businesses or lawyers, providing expertise on environmental impact, or they may work outdoors analyzing samples or doing quality control.
Environmental engineers face strong demand for their skills on the job market, nationwide, as concerns about water use, climate change and pollution are on the rise. With accelerating population growth and limited resources, environmental engineers are taking a more prominent role, with issues surrounding water quality and water availability at the forefront.
Current estimates for job growth in the environmental engineering field are about as fast as average, with projected job growth of 8 percent from 2016 to 2026, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Additionally, salaries for graduates are competitive, with a 2018 survey from the National Association of Colleges and Employers reporting median starting salaries of $55,669 for environmental engineering graduates.

Cedric Brown, RIP
Well, yes, in a way …
The hospital was looking for a Cedric Brown's next of kin or anyone who should be notified that he was dying. We asked whether he was still conscious, but they said they'd made him comfortable and unconscious with heavy doses of morphine and this time he wasn't going to make it. We didn't go to see him, but rushed to catch our plane.
We weren't kin, but I wasn't surprised my number had turned up in his records. We'd known Cedric, a homeless gay man living with Crohn's disease and HIV, for about a decade. He would turn up periodically at our door, begging for help, usually, at least ostensibly, to buy his latest medicine. The various stop gap expedients available to people without money or health insurance would get him repeatedly admitted to hospitals when near death. But then he'd be tossed out, unable to pay for the drugs, or the adult diapers, or the lotions for his erupting skin -- and still homeless.
Because Cedric was an appealing guy, not a drug user or obnoxious, he had a small army of social workers and acquaintances who kept him afloat, more or less. For whatever reason, probably because of his sexual orientation, he'd lost contact with any blood family. Before he got sick, he traded on his good looks for survival. After he got sick, social service agencies repeatedly placed him in housing -- but something always went wrong. One place, he brought in a forbidden hotplate so he could make meals for his friends on the same corridor. When one day he left it on and fell asleep, causing a small fire, he got thrown out of that place, though everyone felt terrible about it.
People often felt terrible about Cedric. But there never seemed to be anything adequate to change his situation.
Usually Cedric lost his housing because he had had yet another emergency room episode and, after a short stay in a ward, he'd be "too sick" for his past housing.
I wasn't always kind to Cedric. He was an inconvenient acquaintance. And the relationship with a person who needs you so desperately materially is seldom comfortable. Sure, his need meant that his professions of friendship couldn't be taken entirely at face value. But at the very least, I think it is fair to say we grew accustomed to each other and felt a kind of fondness, beyond the irritation and the insatiable need.
The world as it is didn't work for Cedric. That's the world's loss. Insofar as I'm able to believe the dead persist somehow, somewhere, beyond this location in time and space, I hope he is in a better place. He never deserved to have it as bad as he had it in this life. Rest in peace, Cedric Brown.

What a lovely, touching tribute to a kind-of friend, Jan. I think most of us must have or have had such relationships and you've caught the mixture of caring and ambivalence well.
Indeed, RIP Cedric Brown.

What Security Will Look Like in 2010
It used to be that end-of-year security predictions were bold and almost science-fictiony. They have become more conservative this year and therefore more reasonable. I've been barraged with them and have attempted to collect the best here.
It's clear to me and many others that the major security development of 2009 was the emergence of rogue security software, a.k.a. "scareware," as the biggest problem out there for most users. Rogues have been around for years, but their escalation in 2009 was palpable. Many of the 2010 predictions have to do with where rogues go next, and this is a reasonable line of speculation. Rogues are about making money more directly than prior forms of malware, and the predictions deal with how they plan to do that.
Security vendor Fortinet predicts expansion of some of the 2009 rogueware trends: affiliate networks and ransomware. We have reported recently on rogueware that encrypts your files and demands money for a decryption key. They also foresee increased sophistication of rogueware business models, including expanded affiliate networks, although these were news over a year ago.
Symantec has been moving for a while in the direction of relying on reputation as a major factor in determining the security of files and other data, and this factor leads the predictions for 2010 from MessageLabs, Symantec's secure e-mail hosting service. For large companies like Symantec with customers and honeypots world-wide, reputation is an invaluable tool. For smaller actors there have been predictions for years (from yours truly, for example) of more open markets for reputation services. These companies exist and may be doing well, but their rise has been subtle so far. Nothing about 2010 should make them more prominent.
For the most part Symantec's predictions are low-hanging fruit and undifferentiated from the pack: social engineering will be the major hook (it has been for years), rogues will escalate (everyone says this, it's obvious), social networking third-party apps will be target of fraud (this has been happening this year, of course it will continue and accelerate), URL shortening will be popular with phishers (and has been for a while). They do predict that CAPTCHA technology will improve, which would be good, but that the use of real people in CAPTCHA sweat shops to solve them will increase.
Another Fortinet prediction has to do with the growth of the money mule business, and this too seems reasonable. We first started hearing about widespread use of money mules a few months ago. A weak economy will make easy money schemes more tempting, but the real news is about schemes by ID thieves to scam other people into laundering funds unwittingly.
F-Secure's Security Threat Forecast 2010 is one of the better ones:
- Windows 7 will sell a lot in 2010, XP will drop below 50%, this will severely cut the amount of low-hanging fruit for attackersI agree entirely; I've seen this coming for years and I think 2010 is the year it really begins to happen. It could have been earlier if Vista hadn't been so poorly-received.
- IP-based geolocation will allow attackers to localize their messagesSome of this happens already, but it's true that it's growing and it's an obvious way for attackers to grow internationally, or even to customize locally within national markets.
- "We may see a large-scale internal attack against a target such as Google Wave."Interesting and plausible, but just a guess.
- "Attacks related to online games will continue. Such sites and games are particularly popular in the Asia-Pacific region. Not enough focus is put on securing them and the problem will be further fueled by the fact that many users are younger and therefore more vulnerable to experienced cyber-criminals."We really don't see so much of this in the US, but it's a big issue in the far east. Perhaps there are ways those attacks could migrate over here.
It's a staple of yearly predictions that heretofore untouched platforms will see attacks for the first time. I can't remember the last time that next year wasn't the first year of real mobile malware, and yet it never really materialized, especially in the US. Many vendors make the usual predictions in this regard, but nobody has anything specific to say and it's hard to get too worked up about it. This time it's not just mobiles and the Mac, but Vista and Windows 7, both of which are uncommon targets for malware.
What could make things better in 2010? It's just a business phenomenon, but my money's on application whitelisting, as I argued last month. For years it's been understood by many that blocking (blacklisting) new threats was a strategy losing out from sheer volume against the tidal wave of new malware variants. Wouldn't it be better to approve what is known to be good and to reject everything else? New business-oriented tools make this practical, whereas in the past it was a difficult approach to implement. Sadly, consumer-oriented whitelisting is only primitive at this point and will remain so in 2010.
I spoke with Sam Curry, Chief Technology Officer, Marketing, at RSA about their expectations for the new year. Curry picks up on the theme of rogue vendors and other malefactors looking for better ways to make money and points to some of the less-obvious trends: They will focus less on the big score and instead find ways to bleed you slowly so that you don't notice that you're being taken. We saw this recently in the case of a bank Trojan that tried to keep withdrawals low enough that they wouldn't get noticed. He also sees rogues looking to offer more actual value to users in an attempt to make the sale. This could include utilities like system optimizers of dubious value, but we've already had reports of rogue products built on free anti-virus systems like ClamAV which are actual AV products, but not necessarily all that good in any one distribution.
Curry's real hope for security is industry collaboration: Security firms already talk to each other a lot and even share research, but a lot more could be done. I agree with Curry that this could help, but I suspect that companies will always be more self-interested than public-spirited, and perhaps they should be. A lot of talking was done last year about the Federal Government acting through a new "cybersecurity czar," but nobody seems to want that position (including RSA's President Art Coviello, who was reported to have turned it down recently).
Coviello sent out his own predictions to press folks like me. He says they see a rise in coordinated attacks with the goal of harvesting PII (personally identifiable information) from systems. Don't be surprised if such information is combined in sophisticated databases with other information, public and semi-public, like Facebook profiles. There's a lot of information out there about you, and if someone could put it all together they might be able to impersonate you with it. To combat these trends Coviello sees cloud-based security services as essential and he's got a point. Such coordinated systems can know a lot more, and stay more up to date.
Websense has their own list of security trends for 2010. Much of it is the same (mobile malware, Macs attacked, etc.) but there are more interesting ones. We saw in 2008 examples of malware distributors going beyond infecting ad banners and instead buying actual ad space. Websense expects more of this and I wouldn't be surprised by it. It takes money to make money. They also predict that "web 2.0" sites will be popular targets. I agree, but I think it has less to do with "web 2.0" than the fact that the sites are popular.
Trend Micro's 2010 Future Threat Report has one observation that has been largely true for a while, but should be uncontroversial by now: Global outbreaks will become extinct and localized, targeted attacks will grow. The closest thing to such an attack we've had recently is Conficker and it's clearly the exception to the rule. Other eye-catching bullet points in the Trend Micro report: "Windows 7 will have an impact since it is less secure than Vista in the default configuration"(Wow, that's bold. They must be talking about UAC changes. I think the security impact will be minor.) "Bots can't be stopped anymore and will be around forever"(Sad but true.)
Even cherry-picking aggressively I've covered a lot of ground here. Overall I'm optimistic. Even if we know that some problems can't be solved, I think we know more than ever about how individual users and companies can protect themselves, if they want to take the time and money to do so. New secure versions of products and tools to use are better than ever.

Ni hao. Huan ying, huan ying! This is a phrase every New Zealand tourism business should commit to memory. It is Chinese for hello and a very sincere welcome.
It's a phrase that should be built into business plans.
The growth in numbers of Chinese tourists to New Zealand in the past year has been stunning, thanks largely to the daily flights by China Southern from Guangzhou in the south of China. Short-term visitor arrivals rose 39.2 per cent to 191,488 in the year to October. That has made China the third-largest contributor of tourists to New Zealand after Australia and Britain, and ahead of the United States.
Chinese tourism is forecast to surpass British tourism next year and more than double by 2018, according to NZIER.
The trouble is Chinese tourists spend much less per night and spend fewer nights here than British, German or American tourists. About two-thirds travel in tour groups run by Chinese companies that visit Chinese-owned stores.
NZIER also forecast the number of British, German and American tourists to fall over the next six years because of their weak economies and the strong NZ dollar. Total spending from these markets is forecast to fall from about $2 billion a year in 2005 to almost $1 billion by 2018.
Meanwhile, Chinese spending is expected to rise to $680 million from $220 million over the same period. That's great, but it obviously doesn't make up for the fall in traditional markets.
Auckland Airport and the Tourism Industry Association put out an excellent paper in September about the need for a change in thinking on the China market. Just last week, Auckland Airport and Tourism NZ signed a memorandum of understanding with China Southern to improve links. It was signed during a special trip to New Zealand by China Southern's executive team and 250 Chinese travel agents on one of its Airbus 380s.
New Zealand needs to retool its tourism sector in the same way it retooled farming through the 1970s, 80s and 90s after Britain joined the European Union. It needs to provide the sort of high-value, high-excitement luxury travel on offer to British, American and German tourists.
Obtaining visas for independent travellers from China will have to be easier. Signs and public announcements will have to be in Chinese as well as English. Staff in restaurants, duty-free stores and hotels will have to learn Chinese.
I've said it before, but why isn't New Zealand making Chinese its third language and teaching it more widely in schools? We now have a major base of Chinese speakers to help us do that.
Auckland Airport got the ball rolling this week by including Chinese in its public announcements to travellers.
Perhaps, collectively, New Zealand needs to learn how to say "Ni hao, huan ying, huan ying", as well as "Haere ra and thanks for the dough".
Debate on this article is now closed.

Piha - The Birth Place of Surfing in New Zealand
Surfing is one of the most popular recreations in NZ and it was when two Californians arrived at Piha Beach on the west coast of Auckland that it all began
Piha Beach is unique with its massive rock formations that look like a Lion (in the centre of the beach), and a Camel (at the southern headland), that create a sheltered bay that is perfect for beginner through to advanced surfers.
Two Californians, Bing Copeland and Rick Stoner arrived at Piha Beach in 1958 and mesmerised the young and most impressionable lifeguards of the Piha Surf Lifesaving Club. Soon they too were riding across the Tasman Sea breakers as they first rose up by Taitomo Island (Camel Rock) and peeled across the bay towards Lion Rock.
The northerly aspect of Piha Beach and protection given from Taitomo Island and the 'Cove' inside it, meant even the predominant south westerly wind could still create clean faces in the southern corner, giving surfers brilliant rides when there was nothing on offer on the rest of the west coast.
The high percentage of 'good' surfing days at Piha has resulted in it leading the way in the development of surfing from a young local, Peter Byers, setting up the first surfboard factory at Piha in 1960, to a number of National Surfing Championship tournaments being held there, and then in 2010, the prestigious World Junior Surfing Champs being contested for seven days in Piha waters.
The most attractive thing for surfers at Piha Beach is the consistency in rips and currents that cause the waves to peel giving the surfer longer rides. The consistency in water movement also makes it the safest beach on Auckland's west coast for beginner surfers and swimmers alike.
With all surf beaches, inexperienced swimmers should heed caution and ask the lifeguards or a local surfer where the safest place to swim is or stay in the middle of the breakers in the centre of the beach where there are no out going rips. The rule is: When the swell is under 2 metres, only go to waist deep. When the swell is over 2 metres, only go to knee deep and when in doubt - stay out.
Piha is a fantastic destination for visitors to New Zealand with a waterfall, a world class cafe, and beautiful bush walks either side of the beach. It is only 45 minutes from downtown Auckland but please remember the nearest petrol stations and ATM machines are 30 kms away on the outskirts of the Auckland City.

Absolutely devine!
May 12, 2010, 01.49 PMby fineandgood
I LOOOOve this coat. Is it going to be available in a plus size pattern. I need this pattern in a size 18-20. Would it be hard to adjust myself, I've never done that before.

I second this question! Looks amazing, but a little complicated to adjust for a plus size newb.
Feb 15, 2010, 07.55 PMby kayla-day
Please state which pattern pieces are to be cut in interfacing. I've bought this pattern and just started to cut out the fabric and realised that the interfacing pieces aren't specified. Please can you post an addition to the instructions and state which pattern pieces are to be cut out in interfacing. Thanks!
Jan 21, 2010, 05.18 PMby jkinsey
swoon If I can pull it off, I want this to be my spring trenchcoat. So lovely. I'll have to really work hard sewing up until then, though, and learn a lot. Could this pattern be adapted to a petite size?
Jan 7, 2010, 11.38 AMby nanooch
c'est tout à fait celui sur lequel j'ai flashé dans un magasin… merci!!!

gorgeous., so so amazing
Dec 14, 2009, 03.21 AMby auntchelle
I'd love to know, is this due to come out in the plus size range? (I apologise if this question was asked & answered earlier. I have not read all 40odd posts!)
Dec 1, 2009, 04.10 PMby alispanali
half way through the muslin – ordered the wool (its cold! silk wont cut the mustard!) and i love its so much!!! instructions are pretty clear… i work with the vogue sewing book (sew technique bible!) and that helps clear up anything im not sure of! Not too tricky either – i wouldnt say it was advanced… cannot wait to finish it! hurry up fabric and arrive!!!
Nov 26, 2009, 04.34 PMby reneebies
good god I love this coat.
Nov 26, 2009, 04.11 PMby louiseklaw
This is agreat pattern but is there anyway to buy it already printed out? 72 sheets seems like a lot. I definitely want to make it!
Nov 23, 2009, 10.01 PMby pcmills
Thanks for a great pattern! This is the first pattern I have purchased from BurdaStyle. I finished a muslin last night – it fits great, and looks as good as the pictures!
Nov 23, 2009, 07.52 PMby sarabclever
This is gorgeous. I love the flow of the fabric, how it's a trench but somehow unique, the gathered hem. This is way beyond me but is certainly to aspire to! Maybe not silk though—even when I am confident enough to make this I am sure I'll still be intimidated by silk. Somehow I can't imagine it's easy to work with, plus there's the price pressure!
Nov 21, 2009, 10.28 PMby ginifur
And my coat quest is complete! I've been after a bunch of different coats-pea, trench, cape, skirted-these last two patterns Burda has posted have fufilled it! I could see myself making this with a heavy lining like wool so the coat would be warm with a beautiful maybe natural silk for the top part… Gorgeous!
Nov 20, 2009, 12.04 AMby nehmah
If it so difficult to draft a one-style for all sizes, how in the world does Hot Patterns keep turning out such great designs? Sizes run 6-26, some are in a three-body shape groupings. I pay for these gladly. I know I won't need to wonder if the instructions are correctly and completely written, or if all the pieces are in the pattern. The new Boudoir of Bliss group will be my next choice. The Bel Air pattern looks so good. Cordially, Nehmah

Okay, but to be fair, their patterns cost 2-3 times as much as BurdaStyle, and they're also not supporting a great website with user forums, project uploads, and how-tos. I understand the desire for a bigger size range since I'm often at the upper limit of the so-called "normal" size range myself, but I also appreciate BurdaStyle's efforts to keep the prices down, since I am also broke :) I think it's totally fair to voice a desire for bigger size ranges (or cheaper patterns!), but it's also worth recognizing that every pattern maker has to make tradeoffs, and not all will go the way we personally want them to go…
Nov 19, 2009, 11.29 PMby polychromatin
Very nice one! I really like it, looks beautiful. But its kind of very very timeconsuming to click on all those pictures, where is the view all-button?
Nov 19, 2009, 12.34 AMby ladysophie
WoW I love this!! Its amazing, I love it, I want it. Im not aloud to buy the pattern though. Sad! Its so beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nov 18, 2009, 11.53 PMby OnYourHead
Wow I love it!!!I'll try to do it with an heavier fabric,,,to use it as a warm coat! The first pattern i buy,,,Really love it!^^

Nov 18, 2009, 05.35 PMby jj1
I love it too. Beautiful trench.
Nov 18, 2009, 03.45 PMby galatina
Love it! Its gorgeous. Although I'm on a complete budget at the moment, and so unfortunately can't justify this (especially as I already have a trench coat!), it's inspired me to adjust a trench coat that I have. One for the future…
Nov 18, 2009, 03.24 PMby ivorynoire
Even though I usually find the Burdastyle patterns rather awkward or falling into the category "Why make if you can buy similar for cheaper than the fabric", this one stands out. It's original and elegant and I even like the hem that most seem to dislike.

…. Remember that cheap fabric is purchased by manufacturers at wholesale price and without any input from the consumer. Fabric choice is crucial to the overall aesthetic and quality of a garment. Also think about what the cost of labor is for a cheap garment. How well are the workers paid and how well is the garment actually made if the entire thing cost less than your fabric of choice? These are things I think about to justify my fabric and pattern purchases. :) Plus, individuality and pride are priceless.
Nov 21, 2009, 09.52 PMby alisondahl
Right On Wzrdreams! You are definitely paying attention to fair labor.
Nov 18, 2009, 01.13 PMby purplesnow
Love it! I want to make it some day. Is it hard to make coat?

Beautiful, I will have to make one of these some day. :)
Nov 18, 2009, 01.29 AMby catpaz
That is absolutely beautiful!! Wow i am totally in love. And the model Shanina looked really good as well. This has definately made its way to the top of my to do list.
Nov 18, 2009, 12.32 AMby Juliana Mateus
it' really beautiful. I might try it without the puff hem….
Nov 17, 2009, 10.37 PMby ROSE BURTON
Was really loving this pattern and was even thinking in terms of making it as a dress without the lining or puff hem until someone said it didn't come in the plus size. However, at my skill level I may still be able to do it. After all I basically just have to adjust the top part to fit me. Well, we'll see.
Nov 17, 2009, 10.29 PMby jaymiekarn
Coats don't do much good to keep you warm when you're not wearing pants lol. Model looks cold haha. It's pretty nice! Again, the plus sized thing, but I'll get over that.

An excerpt from, "U.S. Officials Say Iran Has Agreed to Nuclear Talks," by The New York Times:"We believe that using nuclear weapons is haraam and prohibited and that it is everybody's duty to make efforts to protect humanity against this great disaster." - Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, from a speech given on April 13, 2011.
It has the potential to help Mr. Obama make the case that he is nearing a diplomatic breakthrough in the decade-long effort by the world's major powers to curb Tehran's nuclear ambitions, but it could pose a risk if Iran is seen as using the prospect of the direct talks to buy time.Correction: Iran does not have nuclear ambitions.
Iran's nuclear program is not military in nature, as U.S. nuclear expert Clinton Bastin and other experts have said.
For more analysis, read, "Iran's Soft Power Strategy: Why Iran Does Not Want A Nuclear Weapon."
Also, check out, "On U.S. Efforts to Take Away Iran's Rights by (Unilaterally) Rewriting the NPT: And the Complicity of America's Iran "Experts" in the Charade," and, "Khamenei Reconfirms Fatwa Against Nuclear Weapons."


text: This well-organized, two-volume work focuses on nuclear issues in five major topic areas: political dimensions, technological developments, military planning, diplomatic strategies, and the impact of nuclear weapons on world events. Emphasizing the role of scientists and military and political leaders, the authors divide the sixty years of the nuclear age into four periods: U.S. nuclear monopoly, U.S. nuclear superiority, U.S.-Soviet superpower parity, and the post-Cold War era. The work addresses both weapons development and treaties designed to limit the use of nuclear weapons. It is based on secondary sources as opposed to original research or primary sources. Extensive endnotes support each chapter. The second volume includes, the index, a 46-page bibliography and list of references for further reading.

Every woman is entitled to her mid-life crisis, but the elaborate meltdown that Simon Stephens engineers in "Harper Regan" is wasted on an uninspiring character. Bore that she is, the lady does have the good fortune to be played by Mary McCann, who also left her mark on "Bluebird," an earlier Stephens play that, while equally episodic, had a less artificial and better designed structure and didn't work so hard at being quirky. Both plays originated in London, where this prolific scribe, currently under commission to the National, is all the rage.
McCann, a founding member of the Atlantic, has the likeability gene that wins instant sympathy for the title character when she asks her boss for a few days off so she can travel up from London to visit her dying father in Manchester. This sadistic executive (wickedly played by Jordan Lage) insults, ignores, threatens, toys with and otherwise torments Harper — who submits to his abuse without a whimper, even when he makes lewd reference to her 17-year-old daughter.
It's a sweet bit of black humor, played with a properly nasty edge under the helming of Gaye Taylor Upchurch, who also directed "Bluebird" last season.
Regrettably, too many scenes in this schematic piece are constructed in much the same way, with someone bludgeoning someone else, often by wielding words like a weapon. In one episode, Harper verbally overpowers a "completely beautiful" 17-year-old schoolboy she accosts on a bridge overlooking a canal. A few scenes later, it's Harper's turn to be overwhelmed by a vulgar, fast-talking journalist she meets in a pub.
Stephens occasionally allows some communication in these two-character encounters, which intensify after Regan, who abandoned home and work to visit her father, arrives at the hospital to find that he's already died. One moving connection is made in the posh hotel suite where Regan goes with a horny but courtly married man (beautifully played and sweetly sung by musical stage veteran Christopher Innvar) she picked up at an Internet cafe.
But more often, Regan confounds the strangers she meets on her travels by injecting non sequiturs into her eccentric conversation and ignoring whatever they might have to say for themselves. Not even a vile anti-Semitic outburst from that yahoo journalist gets a reaction from her — although she later walks off with his bad-boy leather jacket.
Harper's behavior is just as erratic on the domestic front. She puts up with her selfish daughter's abusive attacks (delivered by Madeleine Martin in the metallic whine of an industrial saw), but she won't listen when her own open-hearted mother (a lovely cameo performance from Mary Beth Peil) tries to tell her a few harsh truths.
Gareth Saxe is a personable actor who does his best with the impossible role of Regan's husband, Seth, who is unemployed (and unemployable) for reasons that are never openly discussed or even acknowledged. That's just not how life is lived in this household, which sustains itself on lies, evasions, and much chatter about nothing that matters.
It took some courage for Regan to leave this place. Too bad she had to come back.

Best Coffee Ever
In a country famous for excellent coffee, one of the best cups you can have is at Steam in historic Oamaru.
New Zealand has developed a reputation for excellent coffee in recent years. Travelers emerging bleary-eyed from a long flight into the airport are often surprised that even in the airport you cannot find a bad cup of coffee.
In a country where coffee culture has taken hold so strongly, it's no surprise that even in a small town like Oamaru there are no fewer than three cafés on the main street.
But one of these stands out--Steam. Of course Steam's coffee is outstanding--it's roasted on-site using a beautiful coffee roaster from Turkey that sits proudly in the front of the café. In addition to great coffee, Steam also offers delicious interesting food, also made on site.
But best of all is the friendly welcome that all comers receive from Steam staff. Whether you're a regular or a tourist you're sure to receive a hearty Kiwi welcome and be made to feel right at home.

And The GRAMMY Went To ... Usher
(In the coming weeks GRAMMY.com will feature information and video highlights on winners from the 53rd Annual GRAMMY Awards, held Feb. 13 in Los Angeles. Each installment will offer the winning or related video and some pertinent, and not so pertinent, information about the track and the artists.)
Track: "There Goes My Baby" (iTunes>)
Artist: Usher
Won for: Best Male R&B Vocal Performance
Previous wins: Best Male R&B Vocal Performance in 2001 for "U Remind Me"; Best Male R&B Vocal Performance in 2002 for "U Don't Have To Call"; Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals in 2004 for "My Boo" with Alicia Keys; Best Contemporary R&B Album in 2004 for Confessions; Best Rap/Sung Collaboration in 2004 for "Yeah!" with Lil Jon and Ludacris
Did you know?: "There Goes My Baby" is featured on Usher's sixth studio album, Raymond V Raymond, his third release to top the Billboard 200 and his second to pick up Best Contemporary R&B Album honors. "There Goes My Baby" cracked the Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100, and Usher performed his No. 1 single "OMG" on Sunday's GRAMMY telecast with his protégé Justin Bieber. With the help of Usher, Bieber landed a recording contract with Island Def Jam Music Group Chairman & CEO Antonio "L.A." Reid at the age of 15, just one year older than Usher was when he signed with Reid's LaFace label in 1992. Usher launched an acting career in the '90s, appearing in films such as The Faculty and Light It Up. He is a part owner of the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers, and owns his own record label, US Records.

Since the news of PEP 3003 being released crossed the 'web - I've seen more than a handful of assertions and statements made that seemed to grossly miss the point. I figured I'd expound on my last post to further explain the why of the moratorium and some of the other personal reasons I stepped forward to help author it.
The one that really gets me is the assertion that the moratorium was some ego-driven "python is perfect" statement. That Guido/core dev think the language is "done" and that no new syntax or constructs are needed.
False. Categorically false. Quite the opposite is true. Most of us who are involved on python-dev and python-ideas and the various -sig lists are actually quite sure that some changes, whether they be syntactic sugar for existing things, or new fundamental constructs continue to be "needed" ("nice to have") for Python The Language.
Still yet; many of us do think of new things to add - there is always a small wish list of "nice to have ponies" waiting in the wings to add to the language by a variety of people. So, no, no one asserts that "the language is done". We all know, accept and look forward to the continuing evolution of the language over time.
However, language changes have side-effects. For example, context managers introduced two new keywords - "with" and "as" - you should take a moment to go back through the archives to see how many people were up at arms at those two new keywords being added. Apparently, a lot of developers use them as variable names.
To this day, I still download packages off of PyPI which throw warnings about those two keywords. Which is amusing, because they just crash under python 2.6. It was added to __future__ in 2.5 - but became syntax in 2.6.
I only mention this to illustrate the consequence of adding new things - does this mean adding new things is bad? No. Does it mean we have to be wary/aware of the ramifications of doing these things? Yes.
In the past 5 years, Python has gone through an accelerated evolution - decorators, context managers, etc. More new syntax, keywords and cool things have been added to the language than normally occurs in other languages. This has consequences.
The first consequence: Users. Users (developers) who want to support many version of python walk a tight rope. Ultimately, they have to write code for the lowest version (say, 2.3) and make sure their code doesn't use anything (or any keywords) that will conflict with a newer version. That's life - I think we, as developers, all accept that.
But the second one is more interesting. The second consequence is more of a recent development. For many years, CPython has been the implementation of Python. When you asked a person "hey, what python interpreter are you running" they typically say "the one from python.org" or "the one that came with my OS" - this is always CPython.
That's changing. Take for example my surprise when I asked a friend "so what are you guys running" and his reply was Jython. He then lamented the fact that Jython was behind the curve on syntax changes in the latest version of Python, etc, etc.
More and more we see the fact that Python The Language is more than Python The C Interpreter. We have PyPy, IronPython, Jython, Unladen-Swallow (really, a branch of Cpython) and others. Sure, most of the community is still running good-old CPython ("old reliable") but we're at a point where more and more people are running "those other guys".
We're also at a point where some of the "cool" interpreter changes, such as JIT, free threading, etc are coming from those other interpreters. We face a possible future wherein CPython is just the reference implementation of the language, but most of the world runs "one of the others". This is not a bad thing! It's not that the CPython interpreter is dead - it's simply that the other interpreters have a greater focus on "cool interpreter stuff" which CPython has a focus on "stable".
Adding syntax, keywords, and new constructs to the CPython implementation negatively impacts those implementations. For the longest time, Jython was simply aiming at Python 2.5 compatibility - I'm sure us adding a pile of new things in every version doesn't make their lives any easier. Sure, we can feel free to keep adding things in there, but without all of the implementations being at some parity with one another, every time we do so, and ship it, we set them back and possibly confuse users.
Now consider the fact that in the past 5 years, we've done a pile of releases, adding a bevy of features to the language, the latest and greatest being Python 2.6. Stop and realize for the moment most of the world is probably still running Python 2.4 or 2.5. Rumor has it, some people are still running Python 2.3. The fact is many operating system vendors, and normal people using python day to day, aren't getting exposure to the latest and greatest things we've added. This means all the cool stuff we've added hasn't seen the light of day - sure, some of it is "pretty minor" - but when you're adding things to a language, you generally want to see them get used heavily so you know you "hit the mark" and don't need to go and fix the thing you just added.
It's important that we don't (and shouldn't) just chuck "really cool ideas" in there and then never look back - sure, some of them might be constructs from other languages which have been proven in that language but Python isn't that language - Python is Python, and we have to be very self-aware to the consequence to Python a change might incur. It takes time, and adoption (see above) of those features to see how they stand up to real-world usage. Sometimes, we simply get an interface/API wrong, or the behavior isn't as clear as we would like. It happens, but just adding thing on top of thing without taking a moment to consider how it worked out is bad.
Even with an extensive review/PEP process, even with some of the smartest people I have ever had the pleasure of talking to, mistakes happen. The only thing which allows us to see if a mistake has been made is time.
And now we get to Python 3.
Python 3 is an interesting animal - it breaks backwards compatibility in the name of forward progress - some of the changes made to the language required that break to occur. Now, throw a new, backwards incompatible version of Python onto the pile of things users, packagers, developers, OS Vendors, etc all have to deal with. Remember of course the point above - many people are still running/shipping python2.4/2.5. How are we going to get any runtime on the syntax we added in the 3.x line?
Python 3 is the ultimate syntax change - not to mention, to most users it's several years off for them, given they're reliant on third-party packages that haven't ported, their OS doesn't ship it, etc. For all the problems a "normal" python release suffers with adoption - Python 3 suffers from them in spades.
So now, we have Python 2.6, and Python 3 - both in the adoption pipeline. Python 2.6 is an easier pill to swallow, Python 3 is a bit more painful as it requires much more intervention to port to it, and maintain a compatible code base.
Let's also account for the fact that, as of this writing, Python 2.7 (scheduled for next year) is intended to be the End of Life release of the Python 2.x syntax - Python 3 being the next evolutionary step.
Python 2.7 is going to be a good release - there's going to probably be some Python 3 stuff pulled back into it to help porting to Python 3, there will be some "new" things - minor features back ported from Python 3 as well as more migration helpers to assist in the 2 to 3 jump.
Notice in that last part - almost everything going into 2.7 is a feature/change of Python 3 we're pulling back to help developers and users alike. Big time features and changes are not typically going into 2.7. In fact, there's a growing number of changes which are not being pulled back into 2.7, Antoine's recent Global Interpreter Lock changes (also here) being amongst them.
I haven't even mentioned the fact that every change to the code base has to go into at least 2 branches, and in many cases 4 individual branches (py26-main, trunk, py3k, py31-maint). Many changes don't have a clean-merge, given the change of syntax each time you move something between trunk and 3k, you have a non zero chance of having to make decent changes to the patch you're merging. This causes non-zero pain for core maintainers/developers.
So, here we are - a 2.6 release still being adopted by users, OS vendors, etc. A new 2.x release coming down the pike within the next year and a backwards incompatible release (Python 3) also in the pipeline.
At this point, it only makes sense to put a moratorium on the language - we have to artificially put on the brakes for the syntax and core language to make sure the next few releases (2.7, 3.2) don't increase the burden for adopters. We have to let the other implementations catch up - we have to focus on things like stdlib improvements/fixes/cleanup, we can focus on interpreter improvements, tests, cleaning out the bug list, etc.
The next few releases of Python won't introduce new language and syntax - they will be releases focused on bug fixes, cleanup - things that make everyone's life better. This time will serve as a reflection period for the syntax we have, and allow us to help push along Python 3 adoption, maybe helping bigger projects port, improve porting tools and guides, etc.
I'd also like to add - this moratorium doesn't apply to the standard library! We can still fix things like the mimetypes module, we can improve warts and fix things which are broken. We can keep cleaning the standard library up - we can polish all of those batteries which help make Python, well, Python. Ultimately Python isn't just it's syntax - many people adopt it because of the standard library (over 216 modules, at last count) - and that deserve as much, maybe more, attention than adding cool syntax to the core of the language.
So, don't be afraid of it - don't think that Python is evolutionarily dead - it's not. We're taking a stability and adoption break, a breather. We're doing this to help users and developers, not to just be able to say "no" to every random idea sent to python-ideas, and not because we're done.
We're doing it for you - the developer who needs stability, the OS vendor still working on a new release, the language/interpreter implementation group still catching up to 2.6/2.7 and to all the people who would like to adopt Python 3 in the next decade.
Python's not dead people. It's just outside sitting in the grass thinking about what it's going to do next.

For the second installment of our Q&A series, Sweet Talk, I chatted with Margaret Cho, and you guys, I have to be honest. It was really hard for me to interview her because I am such a pathetic fan girl. I have loved her since All-American Girl premiered in 1994, and I still remember being 12 or 13 and watching the first HBO special that Comedy Central re-ran all the time. Margaret was wearing this black vinyl cat suit, and being her usually hilarious, outspoken self, and I was smitten, even though I only understood half the jokes. Plus, the show was educational: I learned that lesbians love whale watching! Which is all to say: I was not even remotely objective when conducting this interview, and I sort of rambled and stuttered and was basically lame. Please do not let this prevent you from enjoying Margaret's thoughtful answers about her vagina, her puppies, her parents, and her new VH1 reality show, The Cho Show, which premieres on August 21.
You're on the road now doing stand-up, and your reality show is about to premiere, but you've done scripted shows in the past. I know you've discussed the lack of non-stereotypical roles for Asians in your act before, and I was wondering if it's gotten any better since you started out in show biz. There's just nothing that's out there. The only roles that are out there if you're a woman of color are based on ethnicity. If a role is for Asian women in particular, it's going to be for an acupuncturist. Of course, there are Asian acupuncturists in life that are real women, but it's still a stereotype. I feel bad for Asian actors who want to work, because there are only those stories out there for us. The real story behind the movie 21 is about Asian American kids, but they used white kids for those main roles and Asians in the supporting roles. I don't know why. The problem isn't even out-and-out stereotyping at this point, it's non-inclusion. That's the way racism presents itself nowadays, as if non-inclusion is better. I think it's actually worse, because then you don't see those people at all.
Speaking of inclusion, you seem really focused on being a good role model for your fans so that they don't feel alienated.
I always want people to feel beautiful. I try to be super positive about my body, and super positive about not saying, 'I feel fat and I feel ugly.' Of course I have moments of weakness, and sometimes I have interviews on those days. ! I don't want be self-deprecating in the way that comes too naturally for women. I want to be a woman who is really proud of her physical being, I am proud to be forty, am proud to be in this body. People don't get to see a lot of real women on TV who haven't had plastic surgery, who haven't had botox, and I'm totally normal. In my new TV show, I try to be naked a lot because I think it's important for viewers to see a real 40 woman looks like, but also because how things were for me the last time I had a show. When I first had a screen test [for her 90s sit com All-American Girl], I wore a midriff shirt and my stomach was showing, and one of the executives said, don't ever, ever do that again.
I also hear you're totally awesome about using your body for experiments on the show. I definitely read your blog about getting the G-shot. How was it?
I really was disappointed in the G-shot! I have some weird value judgment on how I reach orgasm and I always felt inadequate that I couldn't have one through intercourse. Why isn't it enough that I can orgasm? Why is it more valuable to orgasm a certain way? What a great gift! Unfortunately, the G-shot didn't allow me to come from sex. It made it not possible for me to have sex for many months. We're all built differently and female sexuality is so unique, and the specialness of who we are, you can't take that into account when you create a procedure like that, though I think that it does work. It actually reinforced my realization that I'm not going to come that way. I had this ex-lover who was like, 'I wish you could come from me and not your vibrator.' And I was like why? Are you emasculated by my vibrator? I'm really into sex toys and I can't understand why people feel like it's not a part of the sex process proper. It's bullshit. I hate that.
Another big part of the show (besides getting a shot of collagen in your G-spot, obvs) are your parents, whom we love.
They really fit into the show and I thought it would be great to have them. It seemed like the right kind of thing to do and I was excited to have them on, along with my assorted friends. [I wanted to show everyone because] we are definitely a queer family — because that's how queer family comes together, we create our own families.
Your puppies also have a big role on the show! And I read on your blog that you are a fan of the Daily Puppy, which we are also so obsessed with. Yes! I have three dogs, small, medium and large, all mixes. My medium is an Australian Shepherd Mix and my big one is a black German Shepherd mix. Sometimes I will wait until midnight and go on the Daily Puppy so that I can see the dogs change over to the next day's puppy, I'm so into it. , I'll go deep inside it. I'll get deep in there. I'll be lost all day. It's really funny sometimes. Once I remember I was going down the comments, and there was this guy on the boards called "puppy hater" and he kept going on about how the readers are fat old women who have nothing to do, and we're so fat that we have nothing to love. And the readers just went fucking crazy on him!
People can be really mean on the internet! Even to puppies!If I had a daughter, I would have a real hard time letting her see any of the stuff online and the way they talk about women and women's bodies. It's so cruel and sickening.
