It's Not just Us, Everyone Says Itfrom 900 rave reviews
These pillow cases are so soft, and the quality is great. They're made from high quality fibers and material. They wash well and hold shape. I would definitely recommend them.
These sheets really surprised me! Not only were they so incredibly soft the minute I opened up the packaging, they have remained that soft thru several washes at this point! I am very picky when it comes to sheets because I have very sensitive skin, so I was very pleasantly surprised to love these as much as I do. In addition to being super soft, they have also held their shape and brightness as well. I would definitely recommend these to others and look to get these again!
I am absolutely in LOVE with this sheet set from California Design Den! This set is super soft! After being washed as directed, the set did not lose ANY brightness and actually got SOFTER as advertised!!! My little one accidentally spilled juice on the sheets, but after washing it came right out and is just like new!! My husband loved the set, which is a major plus! I cannot wait to order more colors, not only for our bed, but each one of my children's beds! It's also eco-friendly, which is amazing! After using these sheet, I will NOT buy another set from a different company. I am hooked on these! I will also be buying some for friends for gifts. I have told all my friends about this set and would recommend this sheet set to anyone!!! It is definitely the best set I have ever had!!
This fitted sheet and soft and durable. It still looks brand new after multiple washes. You sleep cool too, which is helpful for a good night's sleep.
I'm super amazed with these sheets the material is amazing and very soft I definitely recommend these Thank you bzzagent for choosing me to try this sheets
These sheets are so soft and smooth. They are great on the bed and so nice to sleep on.
I received a California Design Den fitted sheet in white. Now, I'm a self professed sheet snob. I like thin and soft sheets that keep me cool. When I received the sheet, I washed and dried it per the instructions. Once on the bed, it fit nicely, looked good, and felt great. It feels like my luxury brand name sheets, at a fraction of the cost. I even asked my husband his thoughts- same. He noticed no difference in the feel. I'm off to buy a whole set now!
Love, love, love this pillowcase! It feels so soft and luxurious. It is much better quality than other pillowcases I've purchased to protect my hair and skin.
I love these sheets , the fabric is very soft and the bed looks great with them. They seem to be of high quality and are durable . I recommend them to my friends.
I have always wanted to own white bed sheets but never bit the bullet! I am so glad I got this sample because I am in love. The white sheets give it a classic almost hotel type look (positive) and the comfort is amazing. Super soft. The fit is not too big or small, just right! Easy to wash. Looks amazing each time. No stray threads honestly looks perfect.
We are sleeping so well on this!! It's crisp and white white. Feels like sleeping in a 6 star hotel. Nothing I would change. Fits well on our tall mattress and has done well after washing in the machine.
These sheets are great. I washed mine before using with no issues. They fit my queen size mattress with no issues. They are comfortable sheets to sleep on. They are soft but not a hot soft. They are cool for summer months. The quality of these sheets is good. We have used them for a week and they have stayed on the bed, are still cool and soft to sleep on, and no issues. Mine came in white. I think I would love to have these in color or design options. Overall I think they are a great quality sheet and would definitely buy them. Would love to do a pillowcase also.
Color are very nice and clean and very soft on sleeping side. I have queen size but its little bigger than queensize.
I received this item free to do a review. I must say I like the feel of the crib sheet. It feels much better than a lot of the sheets out there for babies. I was hesitant on the color but when I received them the color was awesome and it actually match what I was using for my daughters color. The crib sheet fits perfect on the mattress and wasn't hard to put on as most cribs sheets are. The crib sheet washes very nicely even when my daughter soaked her diaper overnight. I just also say they feel like they would keep you cool when sleeping on it but I can't say that as it only fits the crib mattress but my daughter has woken up not soaked from being too hot. Also loved that it came in a two pack since babies make messes!
Looking for white sheets that don't feel stiff and rough against the skin. These feel smooth without feeling slippery. They fit nicely on the queen size bed without excess pulling and tubing to get on the mattress. Will definitely recommend this brand to others

You Can't Fix Education By Lowering The Bar
I take this one personally. Let me tell you why.
As I recall, I scored 960 on my SAT. This was good enough for second best in my class and many congratulations and backslaps from teachers and administrators. Based on that, I thought I'd done pretty well.
So I'm in college, right? Freshman year, and I get to talking with my roommate, this white guy named Reed, about our SAT scores. Reed's kind of sheepish, finally confessing that he scored "only" about 1200.
That's when I realized I had not done pretty well. I had done pretty well for a student of John C. Fremont High, in the poverty, crime and grime of South Los Angeles. I had done pretty well for a black kid.
As it happens, I started classes at the University of Southern California at 15 years of age, got good grades and came out four years later with my degree. So there was nothing wrong with my brain. I've always suspected my modest SAT score and the fact that I was encouraged to celebrate it said less about me than about the expectations others had of me — and kids like me.
So yes, it touches me in a raw spot, this news that two states — Florida and Virginia — have adopted new education standards under which they would set different goals for students, based on race, ethnicity and disability.
Like many other states, Florida and Virginia requested waivers from the No Child Left Behind Act's unrealistic goal of having every child at grade level in reading and math by 2014. But these states used their waivers to create separate and unequal performance standards for their black, white, Hispanic, Asian and disabled children.
Last month, for example, Florida set a goal of having 86 percent of white kids at or above grade level in math by 2018. For black kids, the goal is 74 percent. Virginia is wrestling with similar standards.
In fairness, both states would want you to know a couple of things. First, that these dissimilar standards reflect the achievement gap, the fact that kids do not start toward the goal from the same place. Black kids may have to cover more ground to reach a lower benchmark because they are starting from further behind. The second thing is that these are interim goals and the ultimate goal remains the same: close the achievement gap and educate every child to his or her fullest potential.
Understood. But if that's what these standards are, can we talk for a moment about what they feel like? The best analogy I can give you is based on the fact that some coaches and athletic directors have noted a steep decline in the number of white kids going out for basketball. They feel as if they cannot compete with their black classmates. What if we addressed that by lowering the rim for white kids? What if we allowed them four points for each made basket?
Can you imagine how those white kids would feel whenever they took the court? How long would it be before they internalized the lie that there is something about being white that makes you inherently inferior when it comes to hoops, Steve Nash and Dirk Nowitzki notwithstanding?
Indeed, for all the talk about the so-called "reverse racism" of affirmative action, I have long argued that the real problem with it — and the reason it needs an expiration date — is that it might give African-American kids the mistaken idea they carry some inherent deficiency that renders them unable to compete with other kids on an equal footing.
We should be wary of anything, however well-intentioned, however temporary, which conveys that impression to our children. I am proof we have been doing just that for a very long time. And it burns — I tell you this from experience — to realize people have judged you by a lower standard, especially when you had the ability to meet the higher one all along. So this "interim" cannot end soon enough.
Because ultimately, you do not fix education by lowering the bar. You do it by lifting the kids.

Foodbuzz 24, 24, 24: Neapolitan Pizza in Texas
We chose a bottle of Fattoria Rodano Chianti Classico Riserva 2001 which was nicely dry and tasted of blackberries. It was a good, sturdy red but not one that dominated the palate. We quite enjoyed it with the starters and pizzas. One of the specials was an imported Puglian burrata di bufala served with heirloom tomatoes, balsamic, basil pesto, and roasted garlic. The bread that came alongside was crunchy-crusted, house-made sourdough. We also sampled the smoked salmon rollatini in fett'unta with red onion and capers sitting on locally grown arugula. Then, the flatbread with oregano, thyme, and sea salt which is made from the same dough as the pizza, came with the antipasto platter that was filled with warm olives, roasted summer vegetables, three types of cheeses, and three types of cured meats. At my next dinner party, there will be warm olives. Last was the arugula salad with green beans, sliced potatoes, and parmigiano reggiano. There was nothing to complain about among these starters. The imported burrata was heavenly. That was the most difficult item with which to show restraint. We knew a lot more food was coming and that we needed to pace ourselves, but that cheese made it very difficult. So did the flatbread. The warm olives on the antipasto platter were buttery and irresistible, and the vegetables were not the afterthought they sometimes are on such platters. These were freshly roasted, warm, and perfectly seasoned. The salad was dressed with lemon juice and truffle oil, the arugula was incredibly fresh, and I could have continued eating that all day. It was a little aggressively seasoned as was the arugula under the salmon rollatini, but not to an extent of disappointment.
We moved on to the pizza. First was the pizza napoletana margherita with house-made fior di latte, heirloom tomatoes, parmigiano, and basil, and it was a beautiful thing. The ingredients were simple but perfect, and this was my favorite of the three we tried.
Next was the pork love pizza with tomato sauce, fior di latte, salami, sausage, pancetta, and speck. Based on Kurt's reaction, this was one fine pizza. He enjoys meat from time to time but isn't a huge pork fanatic. This pizza may have changed all that as he raved about this more than any other thing we sampled.
Last, we tried the puttanesca pizza with tomato sauce, fior di latte, rapini, garlic, olives, hot pepper flakes, anchovy, and extra virgin olive oil. This was a spicy, full-flavored pizza that wasn't shy about the anchovy component. I like anchovies though, and the mixture of big flavors worked well. This was the opposite of the restrained margherita, but delicious in its boldness.
The parade of desserts started with panna cotta made with house-made creme fraiche, cream, and vanilla bean. It was served with raisins and bing cherries that had been cooked in marsala. We learned the restaurant had experimented with other panna cotta recipes before settling on this one which came from an employee's Sicilian mother. There was also a scoop of peach gelato made with Fredericksburg peaches and a polenta cake with strawberry puree, creme anglaise, and whipped cream. There was, again, nothing to fault here, but it was the panna cotta that stole the show. The texture was perfect, the flavor was lovely vanilla cream, and the fruit in marsala added a nice, sweet-sour accent. Our espresso and cappuccino with dessert were both well-made, and I can be picky about my cappuccino.
The owners, Doug and Lori Horn, have created something exceptional here. They use local sources for the greens, basil, tomatoes, and as much of everything else as they can. They also have a mozzarella bar near the entrance where diners can watch as cheeses are made throughout the day. The restaurant sits in a quiet, little strip mall just off the expressway, but nothing about the outside matters once the food starts arriving at your table. In the end, I'm not sure I can do any useful comparing and contrasting with Pizzeria Bianco. Both serve Neapolitan pizza, and both are doing something special, but they do it in slightly different ways. Dough's menu offered a few more options than Bianco's. We visited Dough at an off, mid-afternoon time, so I can't comment on the dinner-time rush, but I know the setting and very limited seating are a big part of the experience at Bianco. I can tell you that here in Austin, we don't like driving more than about 20 minutes to get to a destination, but we left Dough feeling like the hour and twenty minutes getting there in the car was well worth it. We now know that we do have authentic, delicious, Neapolitan pizza in Texas, and we'll be back for more.

What an incredible lunch! I've heard so much about burrata and hope that I'll find it somewhere in the Twin Cities. Fortunately, we have an AVPN-certified restaurant here - Punch Pizza - and you have just fired up a huge hankering in me! For this kind of wonderful food, an hour and 20 minute drive is a walk in the park! 8-)ReplyDelete
I want a mozzarella bar in my house! That looks like an amazing meal. Defo on our list of things to do.ReplyDelete
Oh lucky lucky you! Nothing like that around here! Beautiful pictures.ReplyDelete
Great to see you with a 24 post! Fun, huh? Looks like someone had a fantastic time chowing down. Each pizza looks amazing as does the gelato.ReplyDelete
OMG, what a wonderful colection of scrumptious dishes! Those pizzas look so good! Now, I'm drooling...ReplyDelete
I've been to several AVPN establishments around the country, and now feel inspired, at some point to try them all for - in the name of research to see if they're up to snuff. =) Your meal sounds like a true delight and maybe the drive made you appreciate it even more. Your menu selections sound divine and I am now convinced that my pork loin will be Italian themed after all your commentary, it was a toss up with Mexican and Greek, but you tipped the scale. Thanks!ReplyDelete
fantastic 24, 24, 24. My husband's is ethnically italian and they set forth to the states from Naples and this is the only he thinks pizza should be.ReplyDelete
I love neopolitan pizzas. Cool 24 post. When you know the food is good, it's always worth the drive!!ReplyDelete
What a wonderful place! Everything looks so fresh and delicious. I am so envious that you've been to Pizzeria Bianco!ReplyDelete
Gosh, look at all of this food, they all very tempting looking! how lucky!ReplyDelete
The pizza looks amazing -- as do those desserts!! I could go for the desserts alone! Excellent assortment!ReplyDelete
Fun post!
Congrats on the 24,24,24 post. The food looks amazing and those desserts are making me drool:)ReplyDelete
What a fantastic pizza dinner! I am constantly amazed at how much better the restaurant quality is getting.ReplyDelete
WOW..that is a lunch to die for! I especially love the pizza, and mozzarella bar! I keep wanting to take part in 24, but I never have enough people to feed..LOL Awesome job and gorgeous photography!ReplyDelete
i've started completely ignoring appetizers because i have a tendency to go hog-wild and fill up on them, sadly leaving little to no room for my favorite part--dessert. speaking of dessert, golly, those look great. everything looks great.ReplyDelete
Whoa, what a feast! I'm jealous. The photographs are very beautiful, Lisa. Great job!ReplyDelete
Now, for a moment there I did a double take. i thought you were going to tell us you'd installed a wood oven in the backyard... I'm rather jealous, All the food sounds fantastic but I'm fixated on the burrata. You had burrata??? How wonderfully decadent.ReplyDelete
Wow, that sounds like a lunch I would love to participate in. A mozzarella bar? Um, wow!ReplyDelete
"Puglian burrata di bufala served with heirloom tomatoes, balsamic, basil pesto, and roasted garlic."ReplyDelete
Stop me at the door because I could make a mess with a menu like this! Heavenly good food....GREG
I'm really curious about the Puttanesca Pizza..I bet it taste great..ReplyDelete
lovely photos!
Love your 24, 24, 24. The pizza look awesome. I have an award for you on my blog.ReplyDelete
We don't eat much pizza, but this pizza seriously looks excellent. Next time we go to San Antonio, we'll have to go there! Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 27, 2009 at 8:06 PM
Excellent 24,24,24 post! The pizzas look absolutely delicious! The burrata sounds really good - we just had some in Boston and really enjoyed it too!ReplyDelete
That pizza and panna cotta make me want to hop a plane to Texas.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 28, 2009 at 12:44 AM
How great that you got chosen! That was an amazing place...I LOVE the looks of that crust of that pizzas!ReplyDelete
That sounds like a great place to eat. If I ever visit San Antonio I'll make sure to visit it. Those pictures are making me hungry :-pReplyDelete
Teehee...I'm feeling smug right now. I read through all of the comments, hoping that at least one person here could say that they've experienced the real thing on more than one occasion, but I guess I'll have to step in here and make that claim! Sorry people!ReplyDelete
Being that I live in the land where it all began, I can totally relate to the italian theme - the burrata, the fior di latte, the puttanesca-what-have-you and everything else. La cucina italiana e' la piu' buona del mondo!
Congrats on the Foodbuzz 24!
Well, now I know where I'm going on my next visit to S.A. Thanks for the heads up! Have you ever tried Salvation Pizza in Austin? We found it to be a great pizza but still not as good as Cippolina's. Maybe someday I can have the real thing in Italy, but for now, I'm happy.ReplyDelete
I have never heard of AVPN! That is AMAZING. I must say that when I moved to Washington, DC, I was devestated by the lack of good pizza options. Growing up in NY, in one of the most Italian towns in the country, and then moving to Manhattan, I never had a short supply of fantastic pizza. Thankfully, I am moving back to NYC next week, and the first thing I am going to do is grab a slice! I'm glad you found a place that you know will always have great pizza!ReplyDelete
That looks all absolutely incredible. We do miss a good pizza place around here I have to say. I just refuse to eat all the cartonboard ones you can generally get around here, which means I hardly ever eat pizza, unless it's homemade!ReplyDelete
I have had burrata a couple of times and find it absolutely transporting. I am hoping I can find it here in Seattle for a special dinner I am making in a few weeks. What an amazing feast you guys had! Next time I am in Texas, I want to eat with you guys!ReplyDelete
I lurrrrve a good pizza, how I wish we had such a nice pizza place in Singapore! congrats on ur fb24 feature :)ReplyDelete
Lisa, congrats on pulling off a fab 24 event with a long train of delicious food! These dinners are exhausting but loads of fun!ReplyDelete

Now, I'm far from an expert in such matters, but it seems to me that, given both the destruction wrought by nuclear warfare (or worse) and 150 years without human habitation, power supplies, or regular maintenance, there wouldn't be many ruined cities left for the PCs to explore. There are plenty of examples in the real world of cities that were simply abandoned by human beings and, within fairly short order -- we're talking mere decades -- they've literally fallen to pieces. Add a century or two of neglect into the equation and it seems likely to me that Gamma World or The Morrow Project characters aren't likely to find the recognizable ruins of many cities.
I don't fault anyone for wanting to ignore stuff like this. I don't think it's necessary that post-apocalyptic games should be any more "realistic" with regards to ecology than fantasy games, though I do think there's something to be said giving more thought to such questions. Back when I used to play Gamma World regularly, I very much liked to portray the post-fall society as a "clean slate." Sure, there were some remnants of the Old Days kicking around, mostly heavily-protected subterranean vaults, but most of the surface of North America had reverted to Nature, albeit a radiation-fueled Mutant Nature. That gave me a lot of freedom to create new settlements, societies, and cultures without worrying too much about how -- or if -- they mapped on to what had been extant 150 years previously.
Of course, the real reason so many post-apocalyptic settings, including those in RPGs, don't pay much heed to the effects of time and tide on the works of Man is that a big part of the appeal of these games are their references to contemporary people, places, and events. Moreso than most science fiction, post-apocalyptic tales are ready-made to comment on the present, particularly its foibles and vices. To present a post-apocalyptic world where one's character is not only ignorant of the past -- our world -- but likely to see very little evidence of its existence takes some of the fun out of the genre for a lot of people.
Besides, it's not as if having famous landmarks survive Armageddon is any less plausible than intelligent ape-men and most of us scarcely raise an eyebrow over their existence, right?

Topic Overview
What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine that has been practiced for centuries. It's based on the theory that energy, called chi (say "chee"), flows through and around your body along pathways called meridians.
Acupuncturists believe that illness occurs when something blocks or unbalances your chi. Acupuncture is a way to unblock or influence chi and help it flow back into balance.
Acupuncture is done by putting very thin needles into your skin at certain points on your body. This is done to influence the energy flow. Sometimes heat, pressure, or mild electrical current is used along with needles.
What happens during acupuncture?
Your acupuncture provider will give you an exam and ask questions about your pain and how well you are functioning. He or she will also ask about your overall health.
Then your provider will look for the places (called points) on your body to access the chi that is blocked or not flowing right. Each of the points relates to certain health problems or body functions.
Your provider will look for landmarks on your body—using certain muscles or bones, for example—to find the points so that he or she can place the needles.
After the provider finds the points, he or she will quickly tap very thin needles into your skin. He or she will probably place several needles. Some may be placed deeper than others, depending on what the provider believes is needed to restore the flow of chi.
Every provider is different, but in most cases treatment lasts for 15 minutes to an hour. You may have several visits to complete your treatment. Some people have ongoing visits.
What does it feel like?
You may feel slight pressure when a needle goes in. Most people find that it doesn't hurt. The area may tingle, feel numb, itch, or be a little sore. Providers believe that this is a sign that the energy flow, or chi, has been accessed.
After the needle is placed, your provider may roll the needle slightly back and forth. Or he or she may use heat or electrical current on the needle.
What is acupuncture used for?
Some people use acupuncture to relieve pain, such as low back pain, or to manage chronic pain from osteoarthritis, headaches, or neck problems. There is some evidence that acupuncture may help to treat pain. But in most cases the studies have been too small to clearly show a benefit.
Is acupuncture safe?
In general, acupuncture is safe when done by a certified provider. A state license ensures that the provider has a certain level of training and follows certain guidelines. But there are still a few states where acupuncture is not licensed.
In very rare cases, problems may occur after acupuncture. You could get an infection, especially if the needles aren't sterile. But licensed providers throw away their needles after one use. Make sure your provider uses a new pack of sterile needles every time.
Talk with your doctor if you have other questions about the safety of acupuncture. Always tell your doctor if you are using a treatment like acupuncture.
Choosing an acupuncturist
Check to see if your state licenses providers.
Many providers also may have a certificate from the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. This is a nonprofit group that promotes standards in acupuncture and Oriental medicine.
Ask your doctor and friends for recommendations.
You also may want to pick a provider who:
- Will work on a treatment plan with you, your doctor, and other health professionals.
- Clearly explains what he or she is doing during treatment.
- Explains how often you may need treatment and how much it will cost.

Australia's H.C. Brown's aunts traced their family lines to William D' Ansie a French (Norman) knight who rode with William The Conqueror. Never one to shy away from inspiration, "Betrothed to the Enemy," the story of a young Saxon woman forced into marriage with a Norman knight, became H.C.'s debut ebook in the United States. Published now in the U.S., South Africa, Australia, and the U.K., the author's popularity continues to grow. So much so, she created her own Yahoo.com chat group solely for her fans.
Not content in any one romantic subgenre, H.C.'s work includes murder mystery, historical, contemporary, science fiction, paranormal…wherever her mind takes her. "Murder by Design" was a novel that placed in a contest and was quickly contracted by Pocketbooks Australia. Her 'Purr-fect' erotic paranormal romance series with a historical ambiance captured readers' attention around the world.
This prolific grandmother holds a degree from Oxford, taught physics, chemistry, English Literature and History, is an international all breeds cat judge, and an all breeds tutor judge with the Australian Cat Federation. Forty years ago she married an Aussie surfer she had known for a mere three weeks. Their journey through life together is as exciting today as it was that first day on the beach.
H.C. isn't content unless she's writing. To date, she has had twenty-four books published. This year alone she has seen "A Tryst of Fate" and "Lord and Master" published in ebook format. "Sea Games," an erotic contemporary romance with a twist, is due out Oct 8th, "Hurt Me Good" (MM BDSM) Nov 5, "Night Games" Dec 17th, "Jungle Games" Feb 11 2013. "Dragonfae: The Soul Catcher," the author's return to her love of romantic paranormal stories, hits the Internet bookshelves Feb 18 2013. And, of course, she has five projects nearing completion as well as a joint erotic series actively in the works with another author. That doesn't include the completed seven volume novel-length YA warlock fantasy series waiting for H.C. to revise and submit to agents and publishers.
Good grief. The woman wears me out just talking to her.
Q) Where did this insatiable need to write come from?
A) I have often wondered this myself. As a child, my mother used to tell me stories all the time. She would write me little stories and sign them "from Fairy Blue Eyes". I think my bend toward fantasy came from those early years. I had a gift for writing from an early age and won a scholarship at the age of ten to a prominent English Girls School. There I immersed myself in literature and today I still read four to six books a month.
Q) Okay. Why haven't you borrowed from your own romantic interlude with a surfer and written that story? We would love to read it.
A) Romantic interlude? He swept me off my feet —literally. The surf here is dangerous. The rips can drag a person out to sea in a foot of water. I had arrived in Australia a month previously and had no idea of the dangers. A wave knocked me over and I slid between his legs. A bronzed muscular arm wrapped around my waist. I looked up into his dark blue eyes and hoped he didn't have a "sold" sign hanging around his neck. I guess writing about this happening to someone else would ruin the memory. Actually, my husband is in many of my stories. Not as a character per say but I instill his attitude and respect toward women in my heroes.
Q) You were born in England, but moved to Australia. What prompted that decision?
A) I lived in London. I loved the history but hated the cold and the constant gray sky. I had family in Australia and in Queensland, the sun shines seven out of ten days. The opportunities for a career were outstanding.
Q) You stay so busy, how do you and your husband keep your own romance smoldering?
A) We are together 24/7. He is an artist and specializes in outback Australian scenes mostly the red center. He paints and I write. We live close to the beach and you can usually find us walking hand in hand most mornings. Our romance has never faltered and we've lived through some crazy times. I look at him all the time and think I am the luckiest woman in the world to have him.
Q) What caused you to actually sit down and write a story, then offer it for publication?
A) At first, I wrote the warlock series for my children with no intention to publish. Publication came to me with Murder by Design as you mentioned earlier. Readers enjoyed my story and wanted more. I take great pleasure in writing; it is like breathing to me now—an essential part of my life.
Q) Any parting thoughts for your readers and those yet to be introduced to your work?
A) For my readers: I value every one of you. Your emails and support are food for my Muse. To those who haven't read my work: If you like strong yet gentle heroes and heart stopping romance, you will enjoy one of my stories.

Emma Pillsbury Goes Fabric Shopping
Here's the outfit on my muse:
As you can see, it's a black and white print blouse with an orange pencil skirt. In inimitable Emma Pillsbury style, she manages to pull off TWO bows on one outfit! There's one on the blouse and one on the skirt. My bow-wearing game isn't quite up to that level, so I'm going to omit the blouse bow.
First I had to choose my patterns. For the blouse, I found this lovely vintage pattern from this fab Etsy seller. Isn't the v-neck in the front perfect?
I'm not quite decided on my skirt pattern yet, but I'm thinking about the BurdaStyle Jenny skirt. I would make the simple one on the left (but making the waistband a little slimmer) and then adding a self-drafted bow. The second version has a bow already, but it's a sash, not a sewn-on embellishment.
Next, I summoned my inner Emma and took her fabric shopping! I decided on a simple black and white polka dot rayon for the blouse.
The skirt fabric was the tough part. I first fell in love with a vivid orange wool double crepe at B&J. The price tag? A whopping $82.95 a yard. Now, you all know I have expensive taste in fabric and I briefly considered it, but I knew I could find something just as lovely (if not a double crepe) for a reasonable price.
And I did! At New York Elegant Fabric, I found this lovely wool boucle:
It's a reddish orange, and it clocked in at $34.99 a yard. Not exactly cheap, but since I needed very little it wasn't too bad. Especially when you consider what I might have paid ready-to-wear for this skirt!
I want to both underline and line this skirt. I picked up a Bemberg rayon for the lining and a silk organza for the underlining.
And there are the components of my master plan, readers! What do you think?
44 comments:
Lovely, I think. Your justification for the fabric is exactly what goes through my own head. Then I add in the workmanship, the attention to detail and I know that unless I made it myself, I could never afford the sort of things I make. If you get my drift.ReplyDelete
Le sigh. I would love to be let loose in New York for fabric shopping. Just a day. A half day.
(By the way, seems like you post lately when I'm getting off work... I swear to Dog I'm not stalking you.)
Completely unrelated to fabric choices, but related to TV show characters:ReplyDelete
Have you ever seend Demons on BBCA? It ran over the last 6 weeks, and I only started watching it this weekend (the last two episodes, sadly). It's interesting, sort of Being Human and Ashes to Ashes rolled into one with some Twilight added for good measure. Anyway, there is a character on the show, Mina Harler, played by Zoe Topper. She reminds me of you - similar hair, similar style of dress. If you haven't seen it check it out. Her style often goes more Edwardian Era than 1950s, but there are a lot of things like secretary blouses and pencil skirts. Pics
exciting! can't wait to see the finished garments.ReplyDelete
Looks like it is going to be lovely, especially the polka dot blouse! I can't hear enough about her style, she (both character and costume) and Jane Lynch's awesomeness are the reason I watch Glee.ReplyDelete
Great choices, I'm anxious to see the outfit finished. I've been thinking about making such skirt myself, just needed the pattern, thank you for sharing.ReplyDelete
Love the fabric choices.ReplyDelete
I'm not so keen on the burdastyle skirt. I think its made for stretch knits and the one "Emma" is wearing looks much more tailored.
That outfit will be so cute. But don't you think you already have a skirt pattern that will suit this project just fine? Like the emerald city skirt or what you called it?ReplyDelete
Lovely choices...I think I'll like the polka dot more than the floral of Emma's top and I think the skirt is sweet with the bow. Your combination should turn out well!ReplyDelete
I think it looks great - such an inspiration to get me off my haunches and start sewing!ReplyDelete
Oh!!! I'm smitten already! I just love the bow skirt (I've been meaning to make a pencil skirt with a bow for some time myself... only slightly different with the bow at the back ;), and am dying to see how the whole outfit looks! Plus, polka dots are my weakness and I just adore the fabric you bought! (Have I ever mentioned how utterly jealous I am that you can just take a jaunt to the fabric district?! haha!)ReplyDelete
Happy sewing, Gertie!

The combination of a black and white polka-dot top and a bright red pencil skirt will be *divine*.ReplyDelete
That is a great vintage blouse pattern. The neckline of the boat neck blouse is a bit *too* high, but the other 2 are perfect. How cute is the one with bows on the spaghetti straps?? It would be so perfect for summer!
I can't wait to see your orange skirt. The fabric you chose is lovely. Can you explain a bit more about why you are using two linings?ReplyDelete
Great fabric! I love Emma too - but who wouldn't? Those patterns are perfectReplyDelete
Hi guys! Just to answer a few questions: I'm looking for a new pencil skirt pattern since my sizing has changed a bit since I've used my usual one (same as for my Emerald City skirt). I've made all sorts of alterations to that one, and I feel the need to start from scratch with a new one. Clean slate, you know? The Jenny skirt is designed for wovens not knits, and I think it will be a good choice. You can see an awesome tailored version here. http://www.burdastyle.com/projects/simply-jenny?image=89118ReplyDelete
Phoebe, it's not two linings exactly. The one on the left is the lining, and the one on the right is an underlining. Underlining is basted to the fashion fabric and then sewn as one. This can be done for several reasons - in this case it is to give structure to a loosely woven wool, and also to hide interior workings like the hem. You hem the skirt just to the underlining, not the outer layer. Does this make sense? Hope that helps!
I already know I will be jealous when you pull this off!!! I love the fabrics you found!ReplyDelete
Those colours look so absolutely yummy together! Can't wait to see the finished result - without forgetting a 'making of' please!... I've never done a skirt with lining and underlining and would love to see how you use it and why (in a coat I can see you'd have it for warmth, but what's the thinking behind it in a skirt?).ReplyDelete
Ahh, Ms Pillsbury and her double bows... I have a skirt like that and everytime I pair it with a pussybow blouse, I just look in the mirror and go... 'nahhhh'. It's a look that only a privileged few can carry off!ReplyDelete
I like your choices. It's going to look beautiful.ReplyDelete
Great choices. It's going to be a winner.ReplyDelete
Love the choices! Make doubles - one for you, one for me! :) Can't wait to see the finished pieces. You're inspiring me to learn to sew...ReplyDelete
Can't wait to see the results! When I was a little girl I used to watch the first few minutes of Wheel of Fortune to see what glamorous thing Vanna was wearing. Now I watch Glee to see Emma Pillsbury! :)ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 9, 2010 at 11:18 AM
It's going to be so cute and those colors will be great on you. That cut is going to be fabulous on you too! [Side note: Sigh. I do like Emma Pillsbury's outfits on the show, but I just can't get behind her annoying, annoying character! If it weren't for that, I think I would already have taken a page from her style book. Is it just me or are all of the main female characters on that show shrill, manipulative, self-absorbed, pathetic or otherwise embodiments of yucky female stereotypes? It's a good thing the clothes are cute! Did you see the yellow dresses?]ReplyDelete
Excellent choices! I'm pretty gaga for polka dots right now and the combination of the b&w dots with the reddish skirt will be just lovely.ReplyDelete
I love the polka dots. Your finished outfit will be just smashing!ReplyDelete
When you post again about this outfit (which will look awesome!) can you explain the difference between underlining and lining? Are you making this skirt 3 layers?ReplyDelete
Fantastic choices! I really can't wait to see the creations. I'm simply googly eyed over the inspiration! She's just so charming! The fabric choices are incredible too. I've paid a good amount for fabric myself and I do always consider the ready to wear cost. I love expensive fabric, so sue me. I think the most important thing is that you're going to make something that will last a long time and that you will wear often and feel beautiful in. Fantastic idea!ReplyDelete
And Gertie scores another home run!ReplyDelete
Cannot wait to see the finished outfit!
I just envy you New York gals and your fabric store options. I have only two small chain stores and they devote half their space to craft supplies so my choices are very limited. The outfit for your inspiration is so cute and I think your pattern choices are right on. Looking forward to the finished product.ReplyDelete
I love you for this outfit. I wished I watched Glee so I could be likewise inspired, but you will have to be my muse for now. They're all lovely choices.ReplyDelete
Ahh!! How adorable!! I can't wait to see it all finished. It will be very Emma.ReplyDelete
Guys, I'm worried that the boucle is looking too red instead of orange. Perhaps orange is in the eye of the beholder? Or perhaps I'm just looking for any excuse to go back for that pricey double crepe!ReplyDelete
I think that a red-orange can be difficult to photograph. (Just as a dark purple often looks blue to me in photographs.)ReplyDelete
Your colors look like a killer combo to me!
I'd say it's the difference between a red-orange and an orangey-red; but more firmly in the red category (at least that's what it looks like on my screen).ReplyDelete
I can't wait to see the final, love the blouse pattern by the way. I love those EASY, Jiffy, and Simple to Make patterns so much!
Well I know I have to go to New York just for the fabric shops... (Liberty Statue in NY? Haven't seen her...) The fabrics are great, and I think they'll make up a very good combination indeed! Please do some posts on this lining/underlining issue - that's just beyond me, and as I'm not a great fan of (cutting/sewing) lining the idea of two linings really scares me!ReplyDelete
NOt sure if I go along with the two bows in one outfit look but I love the blouse. This could work from new perfect blouse pattern. Can't remember the number, see my latest post for details.ReplyDelete
I saw this episode on uk tv last night and am getting sucked in by Glee! Not a fan of all Emma's outfits but love this one, especially the blouse. (Also, I loved her fearful face when she caught sight of the jockstrap in the locker room - priceless!)ReplyDelete
This outfit is going to be gorgeous. I love the idea of a bow on a skirt and I love the colour you've chosen.ReplyDelete
I am swooning over the fabric and patterns. You are such an inspiration!ReplyDelete
ooo what a fabulous plan! Also I can't believe I never thought of doing an underlining, that is brilliant. I can't wait to see how it turns out :DReplyDelete
I am in LOVE with the color you chose for the skirt. Dumb question though--what's the difference between an underlining and a lining?ReplyDelete
nevermind, I just read your comment about the lining and interlining!ReplyDelete
I can't wait to see it when it is finished!! I'm sure it is going to look fabulous on you!ReplyDelete
I checked out that show, Glee, too, last week, when you first posted about Emma Pillsbury. I fell in love with it. I'm ordering the season pass on my Itunes so the whole family can watch it.
I think the combination is great. Polka dots are always so fun! I like the color of the skirt, but it definitely looks more on the red side of things than orange to me as well.ReplyDelete
Isn't it always the more expensive fabric that would work perfectly?! Do you want us to give you permission to go get that double crepe? I will if you want ;)
Can't wait to see it finished, whatever fabric you choose :D
I just found your blog through Male Pattern Boldness. I think your fabric choices are excellent and I can't wait to see the finished pieces! I have a pencil skirt pattern at home and you've inspired me to finally get my butt in gear and create it...once I'm moved, unpacked and my studio is set up again of course.ReplyDelete

WASHINGTON — U.S. employers added 162,000 jobs in July, a modest increase and the fewest since March. At the same time, the unemployment rate fell from 7.6 percent to a 4½-year low of 7.4 percent.
The rate fell because more Americans said they were working, though some people stopped looking for a job and were no longer counted as unemployed.
Friday's report from the Labor Department pointed to a less-than-robust job market. It suggested that the economy's subpar growth and modest consumer spending are making many businesses cautious about hiring.
The government said employers added a combined 26,000 fewer jobs in May and June than it previously estimated. Americans worked fewer hours in July, and their average pay dipped. And many of the jobs employers added last month were for lower-paying work at stores, bars and restaurants.
For the year, job growth has remained steady. The economy has added an average 200,000 jobs a month since January, though the pace has slowed in the past three months to 175,000.
Nariman Behravesh, chief economist at IHS Global Insight, called the employment report "slightly negative," in part because job growth for May and June was revised down.
Scott Anderson, chief economist at Bank of the West, said it showed "a mixed labor market picture of continued improvement but at a still frustratingly slow pace."
The reaction from investors was muted. Stock averages closed with modest gains. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 2.6 percent from 2.71 percent — a sign that investors think the economy remains sluggish and might need continued help from the Federal Reserve.
The Fed will review the July employment data in deciding whether to slow its $85 billion a month in bond purchases in September, as many economists have predicted it will do. July's weaker hiring could make the Fed hold off on any pullback in its bond buying, which has helped keep long-term borrowing costs down.
Beth Ann Bovino, senior economist at Standard & Poor's, said she thinks Friday's report will make the Fed delay a slowdown in bond buying.
"September seems very unlikely now," she says. "I'm wondering if December is still in the cards."
Still, it's possible that the lower unemployment rate, along with the hiring gains over the past year, could convince the Fed that the job market is strengthening consistently. Job growth has topped 140,000 a month for nearly a year.
"While July itself was a bit disappointing, the Fed will be looking at the cumulative improvement," said Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics. "On that score, the unemployment rate has fallen from 8.1 percent last August to 7.4 percent this July, which is a significant improvement."
The government uses a survey of mostly large businesses and government agencies to determine how many jobs are added or lost each month. That's the survey that produced the gain of 162,000 jobs for July.
It uses a separate survey of households to calculate the unemployment rate. That survey captures hiring by companies of all sizes, including small businesses, new companies, farm workers and the self-employed.
The household survey found that 227,000 more people said they were employed last month. And 37,000 people stopped looking for work and were no longer counted as unemployed.
The number of self-employed jumped 241,000, or 2.6 percent, to 9.7 million — the most in eight months. This group includes freelance workers, construction contractors, lawyers and other professionals with solo practices and farmers and ranchers.
Combined, those factors explain why the unemployment rate declined from 7.6 percent to 7.4 percent.
More than half of July's job gain in the survey of big companies and government agencies came from lower-paying industries, extending a trend that is limiting Americans' incomes and possibly slowing consumer spending. Retailers, for example, added nearly 47,000 jobs — the biggest gain for any industry last month. Restaurants and bars added 38,400.
One Atlanta-based retailer, Cellairis, which sells mobile phone accessories, says it hired about 75 employees last month to meet growing demand. The company has 650 U.S. outlets, nearly all of them mall kiosks. It plans to add 45 walk-in stores this year.
"People are willing to spend more now to protect and personalize their devices," said CEO Taki Skouras.
By contrast, employers in higher-paying industries, like Stripmatic, a steel parts maker in Cleveland, remain wary. Stripmatic hasn't hired anyone since adding five workers in the first three months of the year. Revenue has been 10 percent below projections this year.
The company's exports have picked up a bit in Mexico and Brazil but remain flat in Asia. Company President Bill Adler says he's concerned that slower growth in China could hamper his overseas sales this year.
Low-paying industries have accounted for 61 percent of jobs added this year, even though they represent only 39 percent of U.S. jobs overall, according to Labor Department numbers analyzed by Moody's Analytics. Mid-paying industries have accounted for fewer than 22 percent of the jobs added.
Some job gains were made in higher-paying fields last month. Financial services, which includes banking, real estate and insurance, added 15,000. Information technology added 4,300, accounting 2,500. And manufacturing added 6,000 jobs, though that figure was offset by an equivalent loss in construction.
One growing source of better-paying jobs is local governments. They've now added jobs for five straight months and have helped offset job cuts by state and federal governments.
The result is that governments overall are much less of a drag on hiring than they were in the first three years of the economic recovery, which began in the summer of 2009. All told, they've shed 39,000 jobs in the 12 months that ended in July. That's down from a loss of 137,000 in the 12 months that ended in July 2012.
Most of the hiring by local governments has been for teachers and other jobs related to education. Local property tax revenue, a key source of funding for counties and cities, fell after the recession but has begun to recover in some communities. Nationwide, home prices have risen steadily, a trend that typically leads to higher property tax revenue.
More broadly, many of the jobs added in July are only part time. The number of Americans who said they were working part time but would prefer full-time work stands at 8.2 million — the highest since last fall. Part-time jobs accounted for 65 percent of the jobs added in July and 77 percent of those added this year.
The government defines part-time work as being fewer than 35 hours a week.
The percentage of adult Americans either working or actively looking for work dipped in July to 63.4 percent. This is called the "labor force participation rate." The participation rate has been generally declining since peaking at 67.3 percent in 2000. That's partly the result of baby boomers retiring and leaving the workforce.
Job gains are being slowed by the economy's tepid growth. It grew at an annual rate of just 1.7 percent in the April-June quarter, the government said this week. That was an improvement over the previous two quarters, but it's still far too weak to rapidly lower unemployment.
Recent data suggest that the economy could strengthen in the second half of the year.

(Pictured: "Bilderbergers" building bridges.)
In the infamous column in which French philosopher Bernard-Henri Levy cried his outrage at the public humiliation inflicted to Dominique Strauss-Kahn in the aftermath of his arrest, one sentence described particularly well the unspoken but unshakeable consensus governing politicians and the law in France. Levy expressed his indignation against: "The American judge who by delivering him to the crowd of photo hounds, pretended to take him for a subject of justice like any other."
The idea that Strauss-Kahn should not be treated as "a subject of justice like any other" remained a leitmotiv through the flood of media reactions to his arrest in France. Because he had more to lose than "a vulgar delinquent" would have in a similar case, the argument went, because of his years of service to the world as head of the IMF and because of his prestige as future presidential candidate, he should be given special treatment. His disgrace should be hidden from public view; he should be spared the humiliation and disagreement of handcuffs, detention, and monitoring; and most importantly he should be given the benefit of the doubt.
This is nothing new in under the sun in French Politics. During his twelve years as President, Jacques Chirac was cited in nine different corruption cases while shielded both by presidential immunity and a merciful public opinion. One of his former Prime Ministers, Alain Juppé, was convicted of corruption in 2004, only to be recently welcomed back into Sarkozy's government in the key spot of Minister of Foreign Affairs. Other prominent members of the French government have been implicated in scandals in the past few years, from Minister of Budget Eric Woerth's shady dealings with L'Oreal heiress Liliane Bettencourt to former Minister of Interior Brice Hortefeux's conviction for racial slander. While these cases certainly sparked media scandals, Sarkozy maintained his public support to the indicted ministers — perpetuating the tradition of that political figures benefiting from impunity, proportionally to their rank. The message is clear: you might have to lay low for a couple of years after the scandal but you will be protected, and eventually come back safely to the front rows of power.
Another such disreputable figure is Bernard Tapie, a Berlusconi-esque figure who has dabbled in murky-yet-profitable business ventures, show business, politics and soccer club management. He last hogged newspaper headlines in 2008, for receiving 403 million Euros of public funds in compensation for having been cheated fifteen years earlier by the French Bank Credit Lyonnais in the sale of the firm Adidas, which he headed at the time. In a time of economic downturn, public opinion was outraged that Tapie would received such a colossal sum, coming straight from their tax-Euros. But most importantly, the procedure through which the settlement was made was shady: three arbiters were picked to review the case and come to a decision behind closed doors a process contested at the time by several legal commentators, since public funds were involved.
Most critical to the affair is who took these questionable decisions and personally picked the arbiters: France's Minister of Economy and Finances, and now leading candidate to take Strauss-Kahn's spot as head of the IMF, Christine Lagarde. Lagarde could face prosecution for "abuse of authority" in this case, as the Cour de Justice de la Republique (CJR), in charge of judging crimes and offenses perpetrated by Ministers in office, is evaluating the case and deliberating on the need for further investigation. More severe than the dubious process chosen to settle the case is the fact, revealed by french independent news website Mediapart (), that Lagarde knew of a relationship between one of the arbiters and Tapie's attorney and chose not to interrupt the process or appeal its outcome.
In the mainstream media's coverage of Lagarde's candidacy, the case is usually referred to as a detail, almost a footnote. Lagarde herself dismisses these accusations as innocuous. "I am perfectly confident and serene regarding this subject and this has absolutely no bearing on my candidacy" she declared on June 10th, after her audience was pushed back to July. Once again, just as Strauss-Kahn's widely known compulsion toward sexual harassment never impeded his political ascendency, we are faced with an example in which a political leader is not held to the rule of law because of a "special treatment" granted by her position on the national and now global political chessboard. There is serious evidence that Christine Lagarde, in the cesspool of corruption that is France's political landscape turned a blind eye on another instance of cronyism. Should it be disregarded as Strauss-Kahn's history of sexual "misconduct" was four years ago?

The animal rights movement portrays itself simply as a group of people who are concerned with the mistreatment of animals. That's an easy position to sell in America where a large portion of population has pets. However, there is an undercurrent of violence, extremist positions, and even anti-human views that runs through the animal rights movement. People who are giving their money to these groups need to understand that it may be used for a lot more than simply protecting "fuzzy bunnies" and "puppies." Read these quotes and you'll learn a little more about the animal rights movement than what some of these groups tell you in their commercials…..
The Agenda
My goal is the abolition of all animal agriculture. — J.P. Goodwin while executive director of the Coalition Against the Fur Trade (As quoted on AR-Views, an animal rights Internet discussion group).
It is time we demand an end to the misguided and abusive concept of animal ownership. The first step on this long, but just, road would be ending the concept of pet ownership. — Elliot Katz, President, In Defense of Animals, "In Defense of Animals," Spring 1997.
Liberating our language by eliminating the word 'pet' is the first step … In an ideal society where all exploitation and oppression has been eliminated, it will be NJARA's policy to oppose the keeping of animals as 'pets.' — New Jersey Animal Rights Alliance, "Should Dogs Be Kept As Pets? NO!" Good Dog! February 1991, p.20.
I don't use the word "pet." I think it's speciesist language. I prefer "companion animal." For one thing, we would no longer allow breeding. People could not create different breeds. There would be no pet shops. If people had companion animals in their homes, those animals would have to be refugees from the animal shelters and the streets. You would have a protective relationship with them just as you would with an orphaned child. But as the surplus of cats and dogs (artificially engineered by centuries of forced breeding) declined, eventually companion animals would be phased out, and we would return to a more symbiotic relationship ' enjoyment at a distance — Ingrid Newkirk, PETA's President, quoted in The Harper's Forum Book, Jack Hitt, ed., 1989, p.223.
We have no ethical obligation to preserve the different breeds of livestock produced through selective breeding. …One generation and out. We have no problems with the extinction of domestic animals. They are creations of human selective breeding — Wayne Pacelle – Former National Director of Fund for Animals.
Animal Experimentation
Even if animal research resulted in a cure for AIDS, we'd be against it. — Ingrid Newkirk, President, PETA (Vogue, September, 1989).
To those people who say, `My father is alive because of animal experimentation,' I say `Yeah, well, good for you. This dog died so your father could live.' Sorry, but I am just not behind that kind of trade off. — Bill Maher, PETA celebrity spokesman.
On the consequences of stopping animal research: "Don't get the diseases in the first place, schmo." — PETA's David Mathews (USA Today, July 27, 1994).
An animal experiment cannot be justifiable unless the experiment is so important that the use of a brain-damaged human would be justifiable. — Peter Singer, godfather of the animal rights movement, Animal Liberation: A New Ethic for Our Treatment of Animals, 2nd. edition, 1990.
Human Worth Vs. Animal Worth
The life of an ant and the life of my child should be accorded equal respect. — Michael W. Fox, Vice President, The Humane Society (The Associated Press, Jan. 15, 1989).
We are not superior. There are no clear distinctions between us and animals. — Michael W. Fox, Vice President, The Humane Society (Washingtonian Magazine, February 1990).
Six million Jews died in concentration camps, but six billion broiler chickens will die this year in slaughter houses. — Ingrid Newkirk, PETA's President, The Washington Post, November 13, 1983.
If Vice President Al Gore advocated killing rabbits to see if women are pregnant and called it a step forward for science, we'd all think he'd gone 'round the bend. We don't need to do that sort of thing anymore, we'd say. We have better, kinder ways. — Ingrid Newkirk, PETA's President (in The Washington Times August 29, 1999).
There is no rational basis for saying that a human being has special rights. A rat is a pig is a dog is a boy. They're all mammals. — Ingrid Newkirk, PETA's President (in The Washington Times August 29, 1999).
We feel that animals have the same rights as a retarded human child — Alex Pacheco, Director, PETA, (New York Times, January 14, 1989).
Surely there will be some nonhuman animals whose lives, by any standards, are more valuable than the lives of some humans. — Peter Singer, godfather of the animal rights movement, Animal Liberation: A New Ethic for Our Treatment of Animals, 2nd edition, 1990.
There are some circumstances, for example, where the newborn baby is severely disabled and where the parents think that it's better that child should not live, when killing the newborn baby is not at all wrong … not like killing the chimpanzee would be. Maybe it's not wrong at all. — Peter Singer, godfather of the animal rights movement.
Your dog can show you when he or she wants to go for a walk and equally for nonviolent sexual contact, your dog or whatever else it is can show you whether he or she wants to engage in a certain kind of contact — Peter Singer, godfather of the animal rights movement.
We need a drastic decrease in human population if we ever hope to create a just and equitable world for animals — Freeman Wickland, Animal Liberation League, and editor of "No Compromise" in "No Compromise", September 1996.
Murder And Mayhem
In a war you have to take up arms and people will get killed, and I can support that kind of action by petrol bombing and bombs under cars, and probably at a later stage, the shooting of vivisectors on their doorsteps. It's a war, and there's no other way you can stop vivisectors. — Tim Daley, British Animal Liberation Front Leader (BBC interview, 1987).
Fire is a tool. Nothing does the amount of damage that fire can. Arson works. Make sure that all buildings or vehicles are free of creatures before lighting one single match. Arson should only be used when it can be guaranteed that the fire will not spread to the sheds the animals are in. — (In the ALF publication "The Final Nail", under section entitled "Smashing the Furriers").
It would be really great if all these fast-food outlets, slaughter houses, these laboratories and the banks who fund them exploded tomorrow — Peta Spokesperson Bruce Friedrich.
If the feed barn, and processing barns are away from the animals, and downwind, then they could be burned down. Otherwise mink releases are the only way to go. — J.P. Goodwin while executive director of the Coalition Against the Fur Trade (As quoted on AR-Views, an animal rights Internet discussion group).
We are capable of dealing with anyone. No one has died yet but that time will come. — Keith Mann of ALF, as quoted in the Evening Standard [London, Dec. 8, 1998). Mann was sentenced in 1994 to 14 years in prison for leading a gang which, in 1991, attacked almost 700 businesses in Manchester, UK.
Andrew Cunanan, because he got Versace to stop doing fur. — PETA's David Mathews reply to Genre magazine's request for "Men We Love".
Arson, property destruction, burglary and theft are 'acceptable crimes' when used for the animal cause. — Alex Pacheco, Director, PETA.
I would be overjoyed when the first scientist is killed by a liberation activist. — Vivien Smith of ALF (USA Today, September 3, 1991).

Evolutionary Trace
Evolutionary Trace results for 3a01 are available in two ways:
Uniprot Q9VD99.
View Trace of
All Data Files
All results with PyMol:
The ET Viewer runs real-value ET or integer ET and displays results. Its ET Wizard takes a PDB identifier, or file, for input, and it outputs ranks of evolutionary importance for every sequence position in the protein. All trace parameters may be adjusted: custom alignments and phylogenetic trees may be used. The ET Viewer then displays a color map of the structure showing which residues are ranked among the top nth percentile, where n is adjustable, and whether they cluster (a z-score indicates whether these top-ranked residues cluster in a statistically significant manner). A multiple sequence alignment viewer and phylogenetic tree viewer display the underlying data.
Report Maker files are currently unavailable.
The ET report_maker runs real-value ET with hard-wired parameters. The input is either a PDB identifier or a UniProt accession number and it returns a PDF report, plus all data files, including the .etvx file read by the ET Viewer . A feature of the ET_report_maker is that it tries to pool information about protein sequence, structure, and elementary annotations to better interpret the ET ranks of importance of individual residues. It also suggests where one might target mutations, and which subsitutions to make in order to selectively knock out individual functional sites.
Both analyses are based on slightly different alignments, and can be viewed as complementary. These predictions can be useful for rational protein re-design and engineering since they enable researchers to efficiently target mutations to the most relevant parts of a protein. In turn this can selectively block, separate, rewire, or mimic functions. ET-based functional annotations may also be useful to suggest protein function (see the ET Annotation Server). ET rank essentially captures the extent of evolutionary pressure at a given sequence position. It is obtained by correlating the sequence variations in an alignment of a protein family with its evolutionary divergences. Top-ranked residues are associated with variations that correlate with large divergences near the root of the evolutionary tree, and presumably linked to significant functional changes. Poorly-ranked residues in contrast are associated with variations near the leaves of the tree, presumably linked to modest functional differences, if any at all.

Diamondbacks - 020 000 000 - 2 6 0Lester: 7-4-2-3-7, 103. Three of the four hits he allowed came in the second inning. After that, Lester allowed only one hit over his last 21 batters (5.2 innings) faced. There were three walks and a HBP within that 21-batter stretch, but the only threat came in the fourth, when Arizona (trailing 4-2) had the bases loaded and one out. Lester struck out Rusty Ryal and got Chris Snyder to fly to center.
Red Sox - 202 000 20x - 6 10 0
Dustin Pedroia hit a two-run home run in the first. He also singled and stole second to begin the third. David Ortiz followed that with a walk and, with two outs, J.D. Drew's double scored FY and Adrian Beltre's second single of the night brought home Flo. Kevin Youkilis jacked a two-run dong in the seventh (Ortiz was aboard).
Marco Scutaro singled twice, Ortiz walked twice and singled. FWIW, Victor Martinez had three fly outs to the warning track. (Also, FWIW, Mark Grace, the "analyst" on the D'backs' FSN affiliate, is a Sutcliffian* moron. His stupidity is actually scary.)
* I think I just invented a useful word.
Daniel Bard had an easy eighth, but Ramon Ramirez allowed a walk and a single to start the Snakes' ninth. Ram2 got two fly outs from the 8/9 hitters before Tito handed the ball to Jonathan Papelbon, who retired Kelly Johnson on a fly to Darnell McDonald in left.
It was Arizona's 12th straight road loss -- a new franchise record.
The Rays lost 6-2 and the Yankees lost 6-3 (Burnett: 3.1-6-6-4-3, 87), so the Red Sox are now 3 GB.
Lester gave up six runs in six innings in his last start, but he still has a 1.96 ERA over his last 10 starts (since April 19).Scutaro, SS

Download package: Download package as zip file If you need any help using this package, feel free to contact us so we can figure out together how to use it the best way it can be.
|Option Name
|Option Value
|Main Folder Categorization Used to define the main categorization (hierarchical folders based on a part of the operations' name, splitted using the upper caracters) of generated classes.
|As it starts
|Sub Folder Categorization Same usage than the main categorization except that it's for the sub categorization, usefull if you first use the main categorization.
|As it ends
|Method of Gathering Operations Classes are generated to gather operations based on the operations' name. In order to gather operations based on their name, you decide how the operations must be gathered accordingly to the oprations' name. Its basically the same behaviour than for categorizing the classes by folders.
|As it starts
|Generate Wsdl mother class Enable or disable the generation of the WsdlClass which will be the main class from which each generated class will inherit. You should always enable this option because this class has several usefull methods and is the core model to initialize the SoapClient and even more.
|Generate Autoload File Enable or disable the generation of the autoload file. The autoload file is useless if you have an clever autoloader.
|Generate Tutorial File Enable or disable the generation of the tutorial/sample file in order to have the starting code to use the generated classes.
|Send An Array As Parameter Enable or disable the usage of one array containing all the parameters when calling the operation instead of passing as many parameters as the operations ask.
|Response As A Generated Class Object Enable or disable the instanciation of an object when getting the result in order to have a WsdlClass generated class object.
|Generic Constants Naming Enable or disable the usage of generic name for constants. The constants are generated when you have enumerations in the WSDL. If enabled, instead of having constant caring the value, cleaned, in its name, it is names with an auto-incremental number suffixing a fixed string.
|Send Parameters In An Array Is linked with the "Send An Array As Parameter" option. These options are usefull when calling Windows WebServices as SharePoint.
|Inheritance Struct Name Allow to define the name of the possible main structs from which others struct can ihnerit. By default, the inheritance is detected from the WSDL.
