Caritas in Veritate International
Ten Pillars for Best Practices
CiVI is a Confederation comprised of Catholic organizations and institutions ("Member Organizations"). (Statutes Chapter II, 4.1) CiVI reaches out to fulfill its vision of extending charity in the truth of the Gospel with the help of many other collaborators. Together we:
1.Hold to teachings: Member Organizations have the duty and responsibility to hold primarily to the teachings of the encyclical Deus Caritas Est (God Is Love) as the guiding principles for all charitable activities, and to abide by the norms of the "Motu Proprio" Intima Ecclesiae Natura (On the Service of Charity) (IEN).
2.Respond with the truth: Collectively, Member Organizations respond in Caritas (charity) and in Veritate (truth). (cf. 1 Jn. 4,4-21, Deus Caritas Est)
3.Witness: All charitable activities of CiVI, while addressing the great needs of the poor, are a "witness" to the "charitable mission" that Jesus has entrusted to the Church. Embrace common standards: CiVI upholds all Member Organizations to a common code of standard (cf. IEN, Art. 2 §1) concerning the understanding of Catholic charities, based on Deus Caritas Est and Intima Ecclesiae Natura, and encourage, in turn, all other collaborators to do the same (Statutes II, 4.3).
4.Share same vision: CiVI Member Organizations form a network of leaders and meaningful strategic relations between other organizations and institutions who share the same vision of charity and mission.
5.Seek ongoing formation: CiVI encourages all Member Organizations and charity workers (whom Pope Francis calls "witnesses of the Gospel") to participate in regular and adequate formation offered by CiVI, to be able to respond, both in "emergency situations" and in "tackling long term poverty" for integral human development, in line with the mission of the Church.
6.Extend aid rooted in faith: CiVI Member Organizations firmly hold to the beliefs that: charity and truth are the two key signs of an evangelical and missionary Church, for the Church is not an NGO. (cf. Pope Francis, Homily, June 11, 2013); and "The relationship with God must always be the priority, and any true sharing of goods, in the spirit of the Gospel, must be rooted in faith" (cf. Benedict XVI General Audience, April 25, 2012).
7.Build on the encounter with Jesus: Charity workers of Member Organizations participate and receive adequate spiritual formation and live a life based on a "personal encounter with Jesus Christ, Lord and Savior". (Evangelii Gaudium and Intima Ecclesiae Natura, Art 7:1) Accomplish common tasks: As an international Confederation, CIVI members unite together to accomplish different and common tasks, in the sphere of Charity and Mission, and community building, for the good of the poor and the marginalized.
8.Apply principles of subsidiarity: Though fully autonomous, Member Organizations collaborate together to reach greater objectives, in the light of the "principles of subsidiarity".
9.Work in unity: CiVI Member Organizations maintain a healthy relationship with each other and work in unity with local bishop, and, as a Confederation, work in direct collaboration with the Pontifical Council for Charity Cor Unum.
10.Realize the goals: CiVI realizes its scope, together or through individual Member Organizations, pursuing activities to (Statutes 8.1):
a. transform lives and restore the dignity of the underprivileged;
b. inspire hope in those affected by natural disasters or long term poverty, through works of charitable solidarity and brotherly aid aimed at human progress and stimulating the pursuit of justice;
c. support and encourage a deeper understanding of caritas in the priesthood;
d. help restore Catholic life, apostolate and liturgies for youth and families as an essential building block to an authentic Catholic aid effort; e. help restore, through charity in truth, true dignity of the poorest of the poor;
f. build local and sustainable communities, which will be able to bear witness and offer to the world the gift of charity in truth over many decades; and
g. form a generation of young leaders who will continue to practice the integrated compassion of good works and evangelization throughout the rest of their lives.

Company History
Company Name
- Mason & Dulion Co. (1910-1954)
- Mason & Dulion Co., Inc. (1954-1961)
- Mason & Dulion Co. of Alabama (1961-1983
- M&D Mechanical Contractors, Inc. (1977-Present)
1910 to 1920
- In 1910, Mason & Dulion Co. is formed by Leon Edward Dulion and James Edward Mason, two plumbers that had worked together B.F. Barber.
- The first office and shop of the company was located at 4th Avenue and 18th Street North in Birmingham, AL.
- In 1915, an unfortunate hunting accident claimed the life of James Mason. Dulion purchased the widow Mason's interest in the company with the promise that Mason's name would continue with the business.
- In 1916, the office and shop was moved to 4th Avenue and 20th Street in Birmingham.
- During the first decades of the company, plumbing and heating contracts extended to locales as far away as Miami Beach, FL.
1920 to 1950
- During the 1920s, Mason & Dulion Co. worked on the majority of the high rise buildings constructed in Birmingham.
- Dulion's daughter Margaret Louise married Nicholas Rosseau Vance in 1923. Vance joined the company in 1924.
- In 1925, a new shop and office was constructed at 3rd Avenue and 30th Street South in Birmingham. This location would serve as the company's headquarters for 58 years.
- Dulion's son Leon joined the company in 1928.
- Black Friday in 1929 hit Mason & Dulion Co. hard, and the company was forced to declare bankruptcy, as had many other construction companies. In the following years, Dulion repaid all of his creditors; even the over $100,000 the company owed to Crane Co.
- On the onset of World War II, military construction in the South began booming. Leon V. was dispatched to manage projects in Selma, AL; Alexandria, LA; and Mobile, AL.
- In 1945, the Company opened a branch in Pensacola, FL with Leon V. as the manager.
1950 to 1960
- The 1950s brought the birth of air conditioning. In response, the company opened a sheet metal shop at its Birmingham location.
- The company now had three divisions – Plumbing, Heating and Process Piping, and Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning.
- The company was a distributor for Westinghouse Electric HVAC equipment in the early air conditioning years.
- In 1954, the company was incorporated as a Delaware Corporation (Mason & Dulion Co., Inc.). Leon E. Dulion owned 70% interest, Nicholas R. Vance (Dulion's son-in-law) owned 15%, and Leon V. Dulion (Dulion's son) owned 15%.
- In 1954, the company earned its first contract at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, AL.
- In 1955, following the deaths of Leon E. Dulion and Nicholas R. Vance, Leon V. Dulion ascended to presidency.
1960 to 1970
- Nicholas R. Vance's widow Margaret D. Vance took over as president of the Alabama company following death of Leon V. Dulion.
- In July of 1961, the company was split into two corporations – Mason & Dulion Co., Inc. of Alabama and Mason & Dulion Co., Inc. of Florida. The Alabama firm would later become M&D Mechanical Contractors and the Florida firm would remain a separate company.
- During the 1960s, the company began to prosper once again, including having landed contracts with 3M in Decatur, AL and the new NASA agency at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, AL.
1970 to 1990
- During the 1970s, the company lost its president Margaret D. Vance, who died in 1976. The company also suffered through a period of hard financial times and increased competition from merit shop construction firms.
- In 1977, a new merit shop corporation M&D Mechanical Contractors, Inc. was formed to take advantage of work in the North Alabama area.
- Nicholas D. Vance (Nichoals R. Vance's son) was the sole owner and C.E.O. of both corporations during this time. As the 1970's ended, a new management team was formed.
- By 1978, the company had experienced great growth in the North Alabama area and leased property on Jackson Street in Decatur, AL with the intention of moving the company's headquarters to the city.
- In 1983, the company officially moved the headquarters of the company to an 18,600 square foot office and sheet metal shop that had been built at 1810 Sherman Street Southeast in Decatur, AL.

What was plan A?
27 June 2013 at 15:39
Why plan B 4 fashion? (or what was plan A?)
It used to be thought that
- Fashion will be fashioned in the far east along with everything else from ships to computers.
This wasn't really a thought based on statistics or such. Just an every-day observation that seemed inevitable until countries like South Korea and Japan got similar living standards to the UK and still had a lot more indiustry. How do they do it? Their governments didn't fiddle their exchange rates and are much more interested in industry.
- European jobs could come from financial services & invisibles (invisible clothes for example),
because we are so much better and cleaverer and smarter with all our sophistication (sarcastic).
To be fair, the new middle class in the far east are suckers for Western brands because they represent something vaguely good, but it seems silly to rip them off by selling them sweatshop goods as a symbol of the free civilised west. The next generation will choose differently.
Since the banking crisis, banks have cut-back service jobs as have walk-in retailers.
The currency manipulation that made countries like the UK look rich in the 1980s-2000s now has to be reversed, so that more things can be made here again. Fashionistas might not be very interested in monetary policy, but it's a label for rigging exchange rates so that imports look cheap and there can be less inflation. An odd policy to keep in place for 30 years, but that was the policy. It's probably not on the syllabus at fashion college.
A compromise view is that posh things can be made in Europe but cheap things must be made in the far east for high street chain stores. But there are other niche-markets than posh. The shoes worn by ballroom dancers who dance after the political party conferences in Blackpool are often made in the UK and sold for lower prices than branded alternatives made in the far east. The problem is the cost of advertising a brand and distributing it on a high street, as well as manufacturing. Now that people are buying online and may be more savvy about brands, there is a chance to promote shoes made in the UK.
Western people were different to eastern people and should not poke their noses into corruption or bad government by rich elites (who could arrest any eastern people who poked nose). In the UK it's hard to know if any one person believed the first part of this, but it's easy to see that westerners did not want to poke their noses into the politics of Bangladesh or Paikistan or India or China.
More trade might lead to a trickling-down of wealth, of human rights, welfare rights & democracy If not, it was thought to be post-colonial nose-poking to have an opinion.
It was not the business of facebook readers. It was the business of people getting very wealthy in the far east.
If western people are much the same as eastern people, and wealth usually needs a push to trickle-down to to most of us, then there are policies to sort out on the western side, because that is where the consumer money is as the moment. Maybe in a hundred years it will be in the east. In business, it is always good to build-up good will in case someone else is making the decisions in a few years' time! So my recommendation is to keep everyone happy by writing happiness tariff laws, leading to good will and happiness all-round.

1⁄2 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
1 pkg (14 oz) 50 caramel candies
2 Tbsp heavy cream
Ice cream sticks
Garnish: Red jimmies or sprinkles
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Youll need 24 muffin cups lined with paper liners.
2. Cupcakes: Combine flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl.
3. Beat applesauce, sugars, butter, sour cream and eggs in a bowl with mixer on low speed just to combine. in flour mixture until well blended.
4. Divide batter among muffin cups. 30 minutes until a wooden pick inserted in cupcakes comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove from pan; cool completely.
5. Glaze: Heat caramels in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently, until melted. Add heavy cream and stir until combined. Cool 2 minutes. Working quickly, while mixture is still warm, spread top of each cupcake with 2 tsp of glaze. If glaze gets hard to spread, heat on low, stirring until more melted.

On January 8th, at 6 AM Eastern Standard Time, Nintendo's President Satoru Iwata hosted the ten-minute-long "Nintendo Direct." Fans had been speculating like mad in the days leading up to this announcement; some assumed Iwata planned on showcasing new 3DS remakes of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, while a rare few thought he was going to announce a new Eevee evolution, due to an odd advertisement and the recent Eevee Wi-Fi tournament. But the majority saw that this announcement was bigger than all those other things, and after Iwata finished talking about Pokémon's past, he showed everyone its future.
Click here to see the trailer if you haven't already!
Pokémon X & Y! The sixth generation of Pokémon is looking us dead in the eye; during Iwata's Nintendo Direct, he announced when exactly we'd be able to play these amazing looking games: October 2013. Now while you non-Japanese readers groan and moan about how we'll have to wait arduous months after that to get our localized games, think again! For Pokémon's sixth generation, Nintendo plans on releasing them worldwide! This is a huge deal to all those Pokémon fans who cannot read Japanese, as now we can delve into these new unknown games without any leaks spoiling the surprise. We will be little kids again, traversing the tall grass and looking in awe at Pokémon we could have only dreamed of; well, little kids with a wealth of knowledge of EVs and game mechanics.
These games will also be the very first Pokémon games built with the 3DS in mind, and they plan on taking full advantage of it. So now instead of staring longingly at your plain ol' 2D Tyranitar, wondering about how much tougher it'd look in real life, you'll be standing next to your fierce 3D comrade ready to stomp the competition. Many fans have begun to wonder, with the introduction of 3D, if your character's movement will be altered. In all Pokémon games before, your Trainer's avatar moved around the world in a grid-based pattern, turning his whole body to change direction. Now in a 3D world, your character could potentially move around in a whole new way, like in games such as Animal Crossing. Now, if you ask me, I believe the grid-based movement will return. If you look closely at the trailer, the trainer never moves in a non-perfect straight line. If this game had more free movement, we'd see the Trainer move in a different manner.
During the trailer we were shown the very first Gen. VI Pokémon, the starters! Chespin the Grass-type starter, Fennekin the Fire-type starter, and Froakie the Water-type starter. These are the Pokémon you can plan to begin your quest with in Pokémon X & Y when they're released. One of the most hotly debated topics when it comes to Pokémon X & Y at the moment is what exactly these starter Pokémon will become. Your starter Pokémon is your lifelong companion, and their final typing and stats will play a big role in any Trainer's mission to become a Pokémon Master. Currently, the most popular speculation about the starters final types is this: Chespin will evolve into Grass/Dark, Fennekin will evolve into Fire/Psychic, and Froakie will evolve into Water/Fighting. Now, the reasoning behind this speculation is this: in the trailer, we get to see each starter using two different attacks. There first attack matches with their starting type, Water Gun or SolarBeam for example. But their second attack is strikingly different; Chespin attacks a Golurk with a sort of slashing movement, accompanied by a shadowy background. Fennekin attacks a Kirlia with a purple wave of energy, and Froakie uses a close range barrage of attacks on an enemy Patrat. Fans have speculated that each starter is using an attack that characterizes its final secondary type. Chespin is using Night Slash, Fennekin uses Psywave or Psychic, and Froakie uses Close Combat. Their evidence doesn't stop there; they say that the enemy each starter is fighting further proves their point, as each starter fights a Pokémon weak to their typing. This logic fits, except for one fatal flaw: Fennekin using its Psychic move against Kirlia, who as we all know isn't weak to Psychic. Now, while this one flaw really pokes a hole in the theory, I still believe these typings are the most likely candidates considering what little we know at the moment.
The other new Pokémon we got to see in the trailer are Pokémon X & Y's cover legendaries: Xerneas and Yveltal. You can expect these Pokémon to be of Uber quality, with Base Stat Totals of 680. But what we don't know is their typings! As opposed to the starters, we don't even have an inkling of Xerneas's or Yveltal's types. I believe Xerneas may be part Grass-type considering the lush forest we find it in during the trailer. Though, it should be said we've never had a Grass-type legendary who isn't primarily colored green. It could also be part Steel-type based on its "sword"-like limbs. Due to Yveltal's winged image and it flying around in the trailer, many think it safe to assume it will be part Flying-type, but we've seen contrary evidence in Pokémon like Flygon. It could also potentially be a Dark-type, considering its rather "evil" look, or a Fire-type based on its red coloring.
The final point of interest in the trailer is the new region where Pokémon X & Y will take place. It's widely believed that the region will be based on France. Why is that you ask? If you look closely during the trailer, you'll see the hero moving away from a distinctly Eiffel Tower-looking structure. Also, the Pikachu who introduces the trailer is located on the Eiffel Tower, and sends its electricity from France out towards the rest of the world! What kind of things can we look forward to seeing? Maybe some kind of Louvre or other kind of art museum, and there's sure to be French-inspired architecture.
One last thing people have been harping on is the potential of finally having character customization. There is one moment in the trailer where the Trainer isn't wearing the goggles shown in the rest of the trailer. Plus, the Trainer is shown looking into a mirror near the beginning of the trailer, which is used in many other games to initiate character customization.
So what are you looking forward to the most? The new Pokémon? New Gyms? An all new region to explore? I've got to say that the worldwide release is what I'm most excited for; I'm a sucker for spoilers and find it much too hard to avoid all the information that comes when the games are released in Japan. With this worldwide release, I'll finally get to really explore a new Pokémon game, not knowing what I'm getting into. If you'd like to join in on the discussion of Pokémon X & Y, click here to be taken to our very own discussion thread; otherwise I'll see you all in the new dimension of Pokémon!

Day 73: A fourth-generation friendship
Oh man, am I exhausted.
I've known my friend Kim for longer than we remembered. Until Zoe was born, I thought the connection was purely that our grandmothers knew each other. After Zoe was born, and we gave her my birth mother's name as her middle name, Kim's mother sent me a message indicating that she knew my mother. More on that in a moment.
Kim and I must have interacted when we were small, because it predates my memory of her. My earliest memories are of being a pen pal with her when she lived in Kingaroy. She had a stint in South Carolina, and then in my late high school years, she moved relatively close to me, at Albany Creek, and we got to have a small amount of actual physical contact.
Then I moved to Canberra, and she moved to Melbourne, and it was only due to the wonders of Facebook that we reconnected while I was in the US.
Fast forward many years, and we're finally all back in Brisbane again. Kim is married and has a daughter named Sarah who is a couple of years older than Zoe, and could actually pass of as her older sister. She also has as a younger son. Since we've been back in Brisbane, we've had many a play date at each other's homes, and the girls get along famously, to the point where Sarah was talking about her "best friend Zoe" at show and tell at school.
The other thing I learned since reconnecting with Kim in the past year, is that Kim's aunt and my mother were in the same grade at school. Kim actually arranged for me to have a coffee with her aunt when she was visiting from Canberra, and she told me a bunch of stuff about my Mum that I didn't know, so that was really nice.
Kim works from home part time, and I offered to look after Sarah for a day in the school holidays as an alternative to her having to go to PCYC holiday care. Today was that day.
I picked up Zoe from Sarah this morning, as it was roughly in the same direction as Kim's place, and made more sense, and we headed over to Kim's place to pick up Sarah. We arrived only a couple of minutes later than the preferred pick up time, so I was pretty happy with how that worked out.
The plan was to bring Sarah back to our place, and then head over to New Farm Park on the CityCat and have a picnic lunch and a play in the rather fantastic playground in the park over there.
I hadn't made Zoe's lunch prior to leaving the house, so after we got back home again, I let the girls have a play while I made Zoe's lunch. After some play with Marble Run, the girls started doing some craft activity all on their own on the balcony. It was cute watching them try to copy what each other were making. One of them tried gluing two paper cups together by the narrow end. It didn't work terribly well because there wasn't a lot of surface to come into contact with each other.
I helped the girls with their craft activity briefly, and then we left on foot to walk to the CityCat terminal. Along the way, I picked up some lunch for myself at the Hawthorne Garage and added it to the small Esky I was carrying with Zoe's lunchbox in it. It was a beautiful day for a picnic. It was warm and clear. I think Sarah found the walk a bit long, but we made it to the ferry terminal relatively incident free. We got lucky, and a ferry was just arriving, and as it happened, they had to change boats, as they do from time to time at Hawthorne, so we would have had plenty of time regardless, as everyone had to get off one boat and onto a new one.
We had a late morning tea at the New Farm Park ferry terminal after we got off, and then headed over to the playground. I claimed a shady spot with our picnic blanket and the girls did their thing.
I alternated between closely shadowing them around the playground and letting them run off on their own. Fortunately they stuck together, so that made keeping track of them slightly easier.
For whatever reason, Zoe was in a bit of a grumpier mood than normal today, and wasn't taking too kindly to the amount of turn taking that was necessary to have a smoothly oiled operation. Sarah (justifiably) got a bit whiny when she didn't get an equitable amount of time getting the call the shots on what the they did, but aside from that they got along fine.
There was another great climbing tree, which had kids hanging off it all over the place. Both girls wanted to climb it, but needed a little bit of help getting started. Sarah lost her nerve before Zoe did, but even Zoe was a surprisingly trepidatious about it, and after shimmying a short distance along a good (but high) branch, wanted to get down.
The other popular activity was a particularly large rope "spider web" climbing frame, which Sarah was very adept at scaling. It was a tad too big for Zoe to manage though, and she couldn't keep up, which frustrated her quite a bit. I was particularly proud of how many times she returned to it to try again, though.
We had our lunch, a little more play time, and the obligatory ice cream. I'd contemplated catching the CityCat further up-river to Sydney Street to then catching the free CityHopper ferry, but the thought of then trying to get two very tired girls to walk from the Hawthorne ferry terminal back home didn't really appeal to me all that much, so I decided to just head back home.
That ended up being a pretty good call, because as it was, trying to get the two of them back home was like herding cats. Sarah was fine, but Zoe was really dragging the chain and getting particularly grumpy. I had to deploy every positive parenting trick that I currently have in my book to keep Zoe moving, but we got there eventually. Fortunately we didn't have any particularly deadline.
The girls did some more playing at home while I collapsed on the couch for a bit, and then wanted to do some more craft. We made a couple of crowns and hot-glued lots of bling onto them.
We drove back to Kim's place after that, and the girls played some more there. Sarah nearly nodded off on the way home. Zoe was surprisingly chipper. The dynamic changed completely once we were back at Sarah's house. Zoe seemed fine to take Sarah's direction on everything, so I wonder how much of things in the morning were territorial, and Sarah wasn't used to Zoe calling the shots when she was at Zoe's place.
Kim invited us to stay for dinner. I wasn't really feeling like cooking, and the girls were having a good time, so I decided to stay for dinner, and after they had a bath together we headed home. Zoe stayed awake all the way home, and went to bed without any fuss.
It's pretty hot tonight, and I'm trialling Zoe sleeping without white noise, so we'll see how tonight pans out.

text: This book addresses one of the least understood issues in modern international history: how, between 1930 and 1945, Britain lost its global pre-eminence to the United States. The crucial years are 1930 to 1940, for which until now no comprehensive examination of Anglo-American relations exists. Transition of Power analyses these relations in the pivotal decade, with an epilogue dealing with the Second World War after 1941. Britain and the United States, and their intertwined fates, were fundamental to the course of international history in these years. Professor McKercher's book dissects the various strands of the two powers' relationship in the fifteen years after 1930 from a British perspective - economic, diplomatic, naval and strategic.

How to Thread a Singer Sewing Machine
Three Methods:Threading a Two-Part Thread GuideThreading a Single-Part Thread GuideGetting Ready to SewCommunity Q&A
Singer products range from basic sewing machines for beginners to complicated, technologically advanced sergers and other machines that are used by professionals as well as hobbyists. Home sewing machines have a thread guide at the top, and the type of thread guide determines how you thread it. This article contains instructions for threading a machine with a two-part thread guide or a single-part thread guide.
1Determine what type of machine you have. The most common Singer machines, no matter what year they were made, have a type of thread guide that falls into one of these categories:
- A two-part thread guide is usually composed of a small metal piece and a longer plastic piece, both located on top of the machine. The thread is guided through both pieces before it continues down through the needle.
- A single-part thread guide is one guide, typically metal, located at the top of the machine.
Threading a Two-Part Thread Guide
1Turn the machine off. Make sure there is no power going to the sewing machine before beginning to thread it. If you leave the power in, you risk hurting yourself or damaging the machine during the threading process.
2Raise the needle to its highest position. Turn the hand wheel toward you to slowly raise the needle.
3Lift the presser foot. Grasp the small handle on the side of the machine to raise the presser foot so that the thread can pass through the threading points on the machine.
4Place a spool of thread on the spool pin. Some machines have a vertical spool pin, and others have a horizontal spool pin. Either way, secure the thread to the spool pin.
5Pass the thread through the first thread guide. Lead it through the lower slot on the underside of the thread guide first, then pass it through the upper slot. Lead the thread around to the right and pull it through.
6Pass the thread through the second thread guide. Pass the thread to the right and under the guide, so that you insert it from the bottom over the top. Carefully snap the thread into place.
7Pass the thread around the tension mechanism. Guide it into the threading channel and let it slip onto the tension discs.
8Thread the take-up lever eye. Pass the thread under the hook and into the eye, where it will stay in place.
9Thread the guide just above the needle. It's a small hook that holds the thread tension. Some machines have more than one guide above the needle to serve this purpose.
10Thread the needle. Lead the thread from front to back.
Threading a Single-Part Thread Guide
1Turn the power off. Unplug the machine to make sure it won't get switched on while you thread it.
2Raise the needle to its highest position. Turn the hand wheel toward you until the needle can no longer be raised.
3Raise the presser foot. Grasp the small lever to the side of the presser foot and raise it.
4Put a spool of thread on the spool pin. If your machine has a horizontal spool pin, place a cap over the spool to hold it in place. If it's a vertical spool pin, rest the spool on the pin.
5Pass the thread through the thread guide. Pull it up to the left of the guide and pass it under the small hook and into the keyhole-liked insert.
6Pass the thread around the tension mechanism. Guide it into the threading channel and let it slip onto the tension discs.
7Thread the take-up lever eye. Pass the thread under the hook and into the eye, where it will stay in place.
8Thread the guide just above the needle. It's a small hook that holds the thread tension. Some machines have more than one guide above the needle to serve this purpose.
9Thread the needle. Lead the thread from front to back.
Getting Ready to Sew
1Lower the needle. Pull the end of the thread through the needle so that the tail is a couple of inches long. Turn the hand wheel toward you until the needle is no longer visible and goes into the bobbin case.
2Raise the needle. Move the hand wheel slowly until the needle reaches its high point again. Continue to hold the thread that came through the needle during this process. When the needle comes up, the bobbin thread loop will also rise.
3Arrange the thread. Pull the thread toward you until the loop is brought further out of the bobbin case. Pull both of the pieces of thread until they are under the presser foot. Drape the tail of the thread to the back and the right of the sewing machine.
Community Q&A
I am new to sewing with a machine. I have a Singer 3337, and I am having a lot of trouble with threads breaking. What can I do?wikiHow ContributorIt sounds like the tension is set too high, or maybe the thread is old. Make sure you are using nylon, not cotton, as cotton thread breaks very easily.
Why does the thread jam up on the underside of the garment?wikiHow ContributorThose are called "bird's nests." Your tension could be too tight on top. Another possible issue is that you are pushing the fabric across the plate, instead letting the feed dogs set the pressure.
My machine keeps jamming up. What can I do?wikiHow ContributorTake out the spool and re-thread the machine to fix the jam and prevent another.
Why do the thread always cut while trying to sew?
3337 loops on under side of straight stitch why?
How do you adjust the stitch length?
Why are there no instructions about threading the other half of the sewing machine?
- Most Singer sewing machines come with a manual that includes diagrammed instructions on how to thread the machine. Some models even have the instructions printed right on the sewing machine.

Termination of employment is an inevitable part of personnel activity within any organization.
If Terminating Due to Retirement:
The Office of Human Resources will generally schedule a retirement counseling session prior to the effective date. This session will afford the employee an opportunity to discuss such issues as employee benefits, conversion privileges, and retirement considerations. An exit survey will also be provided to collect confidential feedback from the employee regarding any concerns he or she may have.
The employee's supervisor is responsible for re-acquiring CCRI-owned property (employee ID card, office/building keys, etc.).
Employees will receive their final pay in accordance with applicable state law. All unused vacation time and a percentage of sick time (up to the specified maximum and in accordance with the payout formula specified by the appropriate collective bargaining agreement and the Board of Education Personnel Policy Manual) will be paid to the employee. The College does not reimburse for unused personal days.
If Terminating Due to Other Circumstances:
If an employee is terminating, an exit survey form is sent to provide the employee with an opportunity to voice issues or concerns confidentially. A personal interview can be arranged should the employee prefer that method. The employee's supervisor is responsible for re-acquiring CCRI-owned property (employee ID card, office/building keys, etc.)
Employees will receive their final pay in accordance with applicable state law. All unused vacation time will be paid out at the current rate of pay; unused sick and personal time are not reimbursed.
Some benefits, such as life insurance, may be continued directly through the benefit provider, at the employee's expense, and at the rate prescribed by the provider, if the employee so chooses. The employee will be notified in writing of the benefits that may be continued and of the terms, conditions, and limitations of such continuance.
In accordance with federal law, and with the exception of termination for gross negligence, all employees under the age of 65 will receive notification regarding their options under COBRA from the State's Division of Personnel.

Local youths and the young at heart can share a time-honored childhood experience today the circus has come to town!
The Carson and Barnes Circus set up shop at the Douglas County 4-H Fairgrounds this morning with lions and tigers and elephants galore. Carson and Barnes promises acrobats and wild animal trainers are ready to thrill fans of all ages under the five-ring circus's "biggest big top on earth."
Spectators of all sizes were at the fairgrounds this morning to witness three of the circus's 21 elephants raise the football field-size tent.
The pre-show excitement tired out Weston Getto, 2. He did see the animals and watched the big top go up, but his grandparents had to take him home for a nap before the show began.
"He knows all the animals," Winnie Getto, Weston's grandmother, said. "He reads about the circus in books so it's exciting for him to get to see them."
MORE THAN 200 employees, including cooks, mechanics, electricians and set-up crew, travel with the circus. Most are from Mexico and South America, circus superintendent Neil Huff said.
Ninty-five performers ranging from 11- and 12-year-old trapeze artists Monica and Miriam Chimal to 82-year-old horse trainer Alfonso Loyal appear in the show.
The circus began its tour March 21 and will perform in a different town each day, seven days a week, until Nov. 14.
Huff said the circus was in Manhattan on Sunday and will head for Paola after its Lawrence shows.
"It takes us about three hours to set up the tent while everything else is going on - the elephant rides get going early, we feed the animals and get everything ready for the show," Huff said.
All the employees, including cooks and a medical specialist, travel with the circus in recreational vehicles.
"WE ALSO have a veterinarian on call who can diagnose any problem in an instant," Huff said.
Animal rights activists, Friends of Animals, made their concerns about the treatment of circus animals known by scattering pamphlets on animal abuse around the fairgrounds.
"The animals are what people come out to see, so we take good care of them," Huff said.
The animals will be on display at the fairgrounds this afternoon, and shows were scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. today.
Tickets are available at the Circus Box Office at the fairgrounds.

Inver Grove Heights, MN (PRWEB) June 28, 2013
Economic development programs are not a new idea but Progress Plus is focused upon stimulating new growth in South St. Paul and Inver Grove Heights by combining public sector programs with private expertise.
A joint public and private economic development venture, the cities of South St. Paul and Inver Grove Heights and the River Heights Chamber of Commerce have been teaming up through an initiative called Progress Plus to further economic development and growth. Progress Plus offers multiple avenues to foster business growth, including real estate services or business assistance programs. Progress Plus has launched a new initiative highlighting unique properties in their service area in an effort to attract new development. The first properties are Argenta Hills, in Inver Grove Heights, mixed used housing and retail development and Bridgepoint Business Park, in South St. Paul, a build to suite office park locating blocks from 494.
"We are excited about the new business developments in our area and look forward to the growth that Argenta Hills and Bridgepoint Business Park are bringing to the River Heights community. When Progress Plus was first created, we envisioned a program through which businesses and developers could quickly and smoothly meet their development and expansion needs," said Jennifer Gale, President, Progress Plus. "Progress Plus works with developers and local businesses to assess needs and facilitate growth, and our highlighting of local properties is one way in which we are expediting the process of business growth in the River Heights area."
Argenta Hills, located at the Northwest quadrant of Highway 55 and South Robert Trail, was opened in 2012 as 370,000 square feet of retail oriented space as a part of a housing development in a rapidly growing community featuring 45 new townhomes and 100 new single-family homes. Space is available for lease up to 50,000 square feet.
Bridgepoint Business Park, a 100,000 square foot facility located at 290 Bridgepoint Drive north of 494 near Concord Street, offers build to suit office space for lease. Bridgepoint Business Park, opened in 2011, also features drive in and dock height loading with available outside storage.

MICHAEL CLAWSON, ET AL. v. MICHAEL L. BURROW, ET AL.
Court: TCA
Richard Baker, Knoxville, Tennessee, for the appellants, Michael Clawson and Sherry Clawson, individually and as the parents and next of kin of Rachel M. Clawson, deceased.
Howard E. Jarvis and Robert L. Vance, Knoxville, Tennessee, and John M. Roche, Denver, Colorado, for the appellee, Summers-Taylor, Inc.
Judge: SUSANO
Rachel M. Clawson ("the Decedent") was an employee of Summers-Taylor, Inc. ("the Employer") when she was killed in a tragic automobile-pedestrian accident. A vehicle driven by Michael Burrow veered off Highway 91 in Carter County and struck her. She had concluded her job duties for the day and was at the rear of her personally-owned truck visiting with co-workers and talking on a cell phone. The Decedent's truck was parked on the side of Highway 91 in an area approved by the Employer for employee parking. Michael Clawson and Sherry Clawson, the Decedent's parents ("the Parents"), filed this wrongful death action against Burrow and the Employer. The Employer filed a motion for summary judgment, arguing that on the undisputed facts the Decedent's death arose out of and occurred in the course and scope of her employment. The trial court agreed and entered an order granting the Employer summary judgment. The Parents appeal. We affirm.
WILLIAM CAMERON CONE v. GEORGIA ELISE DUNN CONE
Court: TCA
Cynthia A. Cheatham, Manchester, Tennessee, for the appellant, Georgia Elise Dunn Cone.
Grant Charles Glassford, Brentwood, Tennessee, for the appellee, William Cameron Cone.
Ben H. Cantrell, Nashville, Tennessee, and Alene Ross Levy, Houston, Texas, for the Amicus Curiae, Justice for Children.
Judge: BENNETT
In this post-divorce custody dispute, mother challenges the trial court's decision to change the primary residential parent to father. The trial court found mother's allegations of sexual abuse to be unfounded, and the evidence does not preponderate against the trial court's determination. We find no error in the trial court's modification of the primary residential parent or in its denial of mother's requests for post-judgment relief. We therefore affirm.
JIMMY E. HOLT ET AL. v. SHAWN R. WILMOTH
Court: TCA
Clinton R. Anderson, Morristown, Tennessee, for the appellants, Jimmy E. Holt and Betty L. Holt.
Carl R. Ogle, Jr., Jefferson City, Tennessee, for the appellee, Shawn R. Wilmoth.
Judge: SUSANO
Shawn R. Wilmoth ("the Buyer") approached Jimmy E. Holt about buying a building Mr. Holt owned jointly with his wife Betty L. Holt (collectively "the Sellers"). The Sellers advised they were only willing to sell the building if they could also sell the inventory from their lamp business that was stored in the building. The Buyer agreed to purchase the building and the inventory. The purchase of the inventory was accomplished through a promissory note in the amount of $250,000. Subsequently, the Buyer paid $150,000 toward the note but refused to pay the balance of $100,000. The Sellers filed suit to collect the balance owed on the note. In his answer and counterclaim, the Buyer alleged that Sellers represented the value of the goods to be $500,000, but that he only realized $65,000 through liquidation of the goods and that $65,000 was the true value of the inventory. The Buyer alleged that the figure he was given constituted an intentional misrepresentation and, when compared to the amount he recovered from the goods, amounted to a failure of consideration. The Buyer asked to recover damages that included the difference in the amount he paid on the note and the amount he realized out of the liquidation, that difference being $85,000. After a bench trial, the trial court determined that there was no intentional misrepresentation and dismissed the counterclaim. Nevertheless, the trial court refused to award the Sellers a recovery on the unpaid balance of the note. The court stated that it was leaving the parties where it found them. The Sellers appeal, raising issues; the Buyer, by way of his own issue, challenges the trial court's refusal to award him damages. We reverse and remand the case to the trial court with instructions to enter a judgment in favor of the Sellers and consider their prayer for prejudgment interest.
COLE BRYAN HOWELL, III, ET AL. v. CHERYL RYERKERK, ET AL.
Court: TCA
W. Tyler Chastain and Margo J. Maxwell, Knoxville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Cole Bryan Howell, III.
John M. Norris, Strawberry Plains, Tennessee, for the appellees, Cheryl Ryerkerk, The Estate of Florence Howell Wallis, Carl Wallis, Margaret Ann Gehring and Howell Nurseries, Inc.
Judge: SUSANO
Cole Bryan Howell, III ("the Grandson"), is the son of Cole Bryan Howell, Jr. ("the Father"), who in turn is the son of Margaret Lyons Howell ("the Grandmother"). The Grandson inherited stock in Howell Nurseries, Inc. ("the Nursery") through the Grandmother's will, which left a block of stock to the Father for life and then to the Father's children. After the Father's death, the Grandson filed this stockholder's derivative action against all persons who acted as directors of the Nursery and the Nursery itself ("the Defendants"), claiming, in essence, that the directors had sold away all of the corporate assets, leaving him with a rather hollow inheritance. The trial court held that the Grandson did not have standing to challenge any transactions that preceded the Father's death because it was only after his death that the Grandson became the owner of the stock. The trial court ordered an accounting as to all monies handled after the Father's death, which the Defendants filed with the court. Over the Grandson's objections, the trial court, on the Defendants' motion, approved the accounting and dismissed the case in its entirety. The Grandson appeals. We vacate the judgment of dismissal and remand for further proceedings.
LULA MCGREGOR, ET AL. v. CHRISTIAN CARE CENTER OF SPRINGFIELD, L.L.C.
Court: TCA
Christy Tosh Crider, John Michael Phillips, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Christian Care Center of Springfield, L.L.C.
Debra Wall, Deborah S. Evans, Clarksville, Tennessee, for the appellees, Lula McGregor and spouse, James McGregor.
Judge: COTTRELL
Shortly after a sixty-one year old woman signed a nursing home admission agreement, she fell and broke her ankle. She sued for negligence, and the defendant nursing home moved the court to compel her to bring her claim to arbitration in accordance with a separate agreement she had signed as a part of the admissions process. The trial court found that the arbitration agreement was a contract of adhesion and that it would be unconscionable to enforce it. The nursing home filed a direct appeal to this court pursuant to Tenn. Code Ann. section 29-5-319. Because the terms of the agreement favor the nursing home by giving it a judicial forum, we find the arbitration agreement unconscionable. Therefore, we affirm the trial court.
STATE OF TENNESSEE, ex rel., MISTY D. MURPHY v. NICHOLAS A . FRANKS
Court: TCA
Mary C. Mayham, Covington, Tennessee, for the appellant, Nicholas A. Franks.
Robert E. Cooper, Jr., Attorney General and Reporter; and Michael E. Moore, Solicitor General; Warren A. Jasper, Senior Counsel, for appellee, State of Tennessee, ex rel., Misty Murphy.
Judge: STAFFORD
Appellant/Father appeals from the trial court's finding that he was in contempt for failure to pay child support. After reviewing the record, we find that the evidence preponderates against the trial court's findings of fact. The trial court's finding of contempt is reversed.
STEPHEN S. PATTERSON, II v. SUNTRUST BANK
Court: TCA
Michael L. Powell, Knoxville, Tennessee, for the appellant, SunTrust Bank.
Gerald C. Russell, Rockford, Tennessee, for the appellee, Stephen S. Patterson, II.
Judge: SUSANO
Stephen S. Patterson, II, filed a complaint against SunTrust Bank arising out of unauthorized charges made against his checking account with a debit card alleged to have been stolen. When SunTrust failed to timely respond to the complaint, Patterson moved for a default judgment. Following a hearing and the filing of briefs, the trial court granted the motion. The court later denied SunTrust's motion for relief from the court's order, which order recited that "[t]he plaintiff is granted a judgment by default." In the "judgment by default" order, the court had not addressed the plaintiff's request for damages. On a subsequent date, the case proceeded to a hearing on the issue of damages. At the conclusion of the hearing, the court awarded Patterson damages of $32,937.44. On appeal, SunTrust contends that the trial court erred in entering a default judgment and in failing to set aside that judgment. We vacate the trial court's final judgment. Case remanded for further proceedings.
LINNELL RICHMOND v. TENNESSEE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTION
Court: TCA
Petitioner/Appellant Linnell Richmond, Henning, Tennessee, pro se
Robert E. Cooper, Jr., Attorney General and Reporter, Michael E. Moore, Solicitor General, and Mark A. Hudson, Nashville, Tennessee, for the Respondent/Appellee, Tennessee Department of Correction
Judge: KIRBY
This appeal involves subject matter jurisdiction over a petition for a writ of certiorari. The petitioner inmate was convicted of a disciplinary offense by the Department of Correction disciplinary board. The inmate timely filed a petition in the trial court, challenging the legality of the board's decision. The petition was not sworn. The respondent Department of Correction filed a motion to dismiss for failure to comply with the statutory verification requirement for such a petition. Subsequently, after the limitations period had lapsed, the petitioner inmate filed a motion to amend the petition to satisfy the verification requirement. The trial court found that it did not have subject matter jurisdiction to adjudicate the motion to amend and dismissed the petition. The petitioner now appeals. We affirm.
JAMIE BAILEY v. STATE OF TENNESSEE
Court: TCCA
Magan N. White, Jackson, Tennessee (on appeal); and Martin Howie, Dyersburg, Tennessee (at hearing), for the appellant, Jamie Bailey.
Robert E. Cooper, Jr., Attorney General and Reporter; Mark E. Davidson, Senior Counsel; and C. Phillip Bivens, District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.
Judge: GLENN
The petitioner, Jamie Bailey, appeals the denial of his petition for post-conviction relief from his three first degree murder convictions, arguing that he was denied the effective assistance of counsel and that his guilty pleas were therefore unknowing and involuntary. Following our review, we affirm the denial of the petition.
STATE OF TENNESSEE v. LARQUIETTA TAYLOR-FISHER
Court: TCCA
Jennifer D. Fitzgerald (on appeal) and Brett Stein (at trial), Memphis, Tennessee, for the appellant, Larquietta Taylor-Fisher.
Robert E. Cooper, Jr., Attorney General and Reporter; David H. Findley, Assistant Attorney General; William L. Gibbons, District Attorney General; and Susan Taylor, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.
Judge: GLENN
The defendant, Larquietta Taylor-Fisher, pled guilty in the Shelby County Criminal Court to DUI, first offense, a Class A misdemeanor; leaving the scene of an accident, a Class B misdemeanor; and three counts of reckless aggravated assault, a Class D felony, and was sentenced by the trial court to an effective sentence of two years, with thirty days to serve and the remainder of the time on supervised probation. In a timely appeal to this court, she argues that the trial court abused its discretion in denying her request for judicial diversion. Following our review, we affirm the sentencing determinations of the trial court.
MATTHEW MELTON JACKSON v. STATE OF TENNESSEE
Court: TCCA
Matthew Jackson, Pro Se, Tiptonville, Tennessee
Robert E. Cooper, Jr., Attorney General and Reporter; Cameron L. Hyder, Assistant Attorney General; Lawrence Ray Whitley, District Attorney General, and Ron Blanton, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.
Judge: SMITH
On August 10, 2001, Petitioner, Matthew Melton Jackson, pled guilty in Sumner County Circuit Court to four counts of aggravated robbery. The trial court sentenced Appellant to four, ten-year sentences to be served concurrently with each other, but consecutively to a previous sentence. On August 7, 2009, Petitioner filed a Petition for Post-conviction Relief arguing that a decision of this Court rendered after the entry of his guilty plea created a constitutional right that should be given retroactive application. Alternatively, he also argues that his incarceration in another state required a tolling of the statute of limitations. The post- conviction court summarily dismissed his petition. After a thorough review of the record, we affirm the dismissal of his petition.
STATE OF TENNESSEE v. TROY ALLEN PRUITT
Court: TCCA
Jeffry S. Grimes, Clarksville, Tennessee, for the Appellant, Troy Allen Pruitt.
Robert E. Cooper, Jr., Attorney General and Reporter; Michael E. Moore, Solicitor General; Cameron L. Hyder, Assistant Attorney General; John W. Carney, Jr., District Attorney General; John Finklea, Assistant District Attorney General, for the Appellee, State of Tennessee.
Judge: WEDEMEYER
A Montgomery County jury convicted the Defendant, Troy Allen Pruitt, of two counts of aggravated robbery and two counts of fraudulent use of a credit card, and the trial court sentenced him to an effective sentence of fifteen years in the Tennessee Department of Correction ("TDOC"). On appeal, the Defendant contends: (1) the evidence is insufficient to sustain his convictions; and (2) the trial court erred when it found the Defendant waived review of the issue of whether recent case law on expert witness testimony entitled him to a new trial. After a thorough review of the record and applicable authorities, we affirm the trial court's judgments.
STATE OF TENNESSEE v. JOSEPH S. RITTENBERRY
Court: TCCA
James Robin McKinney, Jr., Nashville, Tennessee, for the Defendant-Appellant, Joseph S. Rittenberry.
Robert E. Cooper, Jr., Attorney General and Reporter; Clark B. Thornton, Assistant Attorney General; Lawrence Ray Whitley, District Attorney General; and Sallie Wade Brown, Assistant District Attorney General, for the Appellee, State of Tennessee.
Judge: MCMULLEN
The Defendant-Appellant, Joseph S. Rittenberry, pled nolo contendere in Sumner County to three counts of attempted aggravated sexual battery, a Class C felony.

Wharton asks for help with Wells Fargo suit
Memphis Mayor A C Wharton told a House judiciary subcommittee Thursday that he wanted the Justice Department to join Memphis and Shelby County in their lawsuit against Wells Fargo, a company whose foreclosure rate in Memphis is seven times higher for loans in predominantly African-American neighborhoods than it is in white neighborhoods, he said. Calling it a new form of discrimination, Wharton said "One generation's Jim Crow is another generation's glass ceiling in corporate America."

Suit filed to get right to bear arms in Tennessee
A suit filed Thursday against Gov. Phil Bredesen and Attorney General Bob Cooper says the state of Tennessee is ignoring the Second Amendment rights of anyone who is given a pardon that also restores gun rights. David Scott Blackwell received a felony charge for drug possession in 1988 and served his time. In 2003 he received a pardon in Georgia, including the restoration of the right to bear arms. But when he wanted to buy a gun to go hunting with his son in Tennessee, he was denied.

Editorial: Attorney General's office should stay like it is
State Sen. Joe Haynes writes
in an opinion piece
that the other states that elect an attorney general "are wrong, because Tennessee is doing it right." He says "we have ensured that our attorney general will work for the good of all Tennesseans and not simply those of a particular political persuasion." Sen. Mae Beavers argues the other side
in an opinion piece
"that the only people capable of ensuring that the attorney general operates independently as the state's legal watchdog -- overseeing government -- are the citizens of Tennessee."
In its related editorial, The Tennessean explains why citizens should reject the premise that an elected attorney general is better, questioning the timing of the push for the AG's election.

Jason Venter says: "Now when you start out onto the highway and you press up on the controller, the frog immediately springs forth from the curb and dives into the adventure. When you press left he doesnt drift up into a truck in the next lane. Instead, he actually moves in the direction you specified! Thats a good improvement."

Frogger reviewReviewed January 25, 2009
Calvin says: " Its irking to see a series with plenty of untapped potential fail to claim whats rightfully made possible through the immediate gratification of a platform such as the Xbox 360s Live Arcade. Although perhaps we should be thankful that the developers didnt over-exert themselves over another broken platformer nightmare, such as so many Xbox titles. Sticking to your guns sometimes is the most appropriate move you can make, although the achieved end result might not be spectacular. While I don..."
