Traditional Jazz is the name applied to the earliest form of music that jazz bands played in New Orleans, it was very popular in the nineteen twenties as a social music, where jazz bands entertained at any social gathering, from being the entertainment at a picnic or for dancing in the dance halls.
Early live jazz was usually played by small jazz bands of up to seven musicians. It is an improvisational music where each player in the band re-arranges the tune as they play. If you hear the same band perform the same tune twice it shouldn't sound the same as the musician improvises to reflect the audience, the event and, how they are feeling.
The original form of jazz had a revival starting in the USA in the ninteen fourties with jazz bands spreading across the world and has continued to be a popular and entertaining music today. It became known as trad jazz in the UK.

Handyman: Manufacturer may replace faulty door
Updated 1:57 pm, Thursday, May 2, 2013
Q: I bought and painted a wood paneled exterior front door a few years back, and every winter the wood shrank, revealing an unpainted border around the panels. I knew what was happening, and when the panels expanded in humid weather, the unpainted streaks disappeared. But this time there is so much shrinkage that I can see daylight around some of the panels. What can I do?
A: First, contact the builder of the door; a builder might recognize the flaw and give you a new door. If no response, you can seal the daylight joints and others with an adhesive caulk.
Place a bead of the adhesive caulk on all joints, and press it in with your fingers, on both sides of the door. When the wood expands as it takes on summer moisture, the edges will be even tighter, and one would hope that when the wood shrinks in winter dryness, the joint will stay tight and show no daylight. Then, repaint the door, or at least the joints. If you put a storm door up, you might avoid the problem in the future.
But if the door is a well-known brand, you might be able to get a replacement.
Q: I am 81 and my sister is 90, and we are tired of lugging the water condensing from our basement dehumidifiers. I noticed April Air and Wave as two appliances that automatically pump the water outside. Would they work?
A: Yes. They may be more expensive than the nonpumping kind, but it's worth it. But be careful with dehumidifiers. They may be doing a good job of drying out the air in the basement, but left on for long periods, they may also be overworking, pulling water vapor right up through the concrete basement slab. Try shutting off one unit and see how that works.
Also, try turning off the units and opening windows for cross-ventilation to release water vapor more efficiently and more cheaply than the dehumidifiers.
Q: I have Hurd casement windows. The house and the windows are about 15 years old. The mechanism for opening and closing them has broken on two windows. On one it is the crank and on the other it is the connection in the "arm" that extends to open the window.
Do I have to buy new windows, or is there some after-market way I can fix or replace the mechanism(s)?
A: First, take the parts to Home Depot to see if you can find a match. Try Googling Hurd windows. Or call Hurd Windows and Doors in Medford, Wisc., at 800-433-4873.
Q: I am reroofing after many years and three layers of shingles. The roofer told me I need releading, which I don't understand. What does it mean? He also suggested installing a ridge vent, even though my small attic areas and other spaces under the roof are dry, without decay or mold. Should I? I also think he said he'd do it for an extra $250.
A: Releading means removing or replacing the lead flashing around the chimney. It may not be needed, because lead is the toughest, longest-lasting flashing you can get. The roofer won't know for sure until he takes off all layers of shingles. The flashing is on top of the shingles, and mortared into the chimney. It may be intact.
If the roofer meant he would take off the lead because it is a hazard, he is mistaken, I believe, and if he insists, check any rules on lead flashing.
A ridge vent, done right, will do no harm and will provide more venting in the attic, which you can always use. If the price is right, let him do that.
Q: I had a leak in the roof of my old house, which stained the woodwork white. How can I remove it?
A: The water turned the woodwork white because the woodwork is finished with shellac, a clear finish made of ground up bugs of a certain type, thinned with denatured alcohol. Shellac is very sensitive to water.
To remove, clean the finish with denatured alcohol. This will remove the stains, but will also dissolve some of the shellac. When all stains are removed, recoat with one or two coats of shellac. White shellac (clear shellac) is very clear and will darken the woodwork very little. Orange shellac has a darker hue, and will darken the finish.
Q: Before we bought our house seven years ago, the person who flipped it painted the foundation white. Now it's peeling and dirty and needs to be redone. How can I prep it and what kind of paint should I use?
A: I get very tired of flippers and other sellers who have no idea what a buyer wants, so they go ahead and do something that rarely works, and they don't give a fig.
So, it might be easy to do this: Wire brush and sand all loose paint off, then apply 2 thin coats of a solid color stain of your favorite gray. Thin coats with a solid stain resist peeling, where paint might not.
A better way, if the foundation is concrete or field stone, is to take off all the paint with a stripper, down to the concrete or fieldstone, which will look like it is supposed to. I would never touch my granite and fieldstone foundation. Being natural never needs "improving."

Sooo... when I accepted to file jointly instead of on my own, I knew I was probably going to regret it. So much so that I didn't even tell anyone else because I'm so tired of hearing how wrong I was to trust Raga and how stupid I am to keep giving him more chances.
Well the lawyers received my paperwork on the 17th of July, meaning I would be divorced by now if I had filed on my own (they said filing alone takes 2 weeks at the most). But he hadn't sent anything by then. He hadn't even set an appointment with a notary even though I gave him the dates a week or two early so he'd have time to book right away.
After I bugged him though he saw a notary on the 19th and sent an email telling me he was on his way to the post office.
So, frustrating but not too bad, we all have unexpected stuff happen every so often, maybe he ended up missing his previous appointment, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt rather than assume he hadn't set an appointment to begin with.
After all, a lot has happened to me that wad unexpected. My mother-in-law dying, us losing the house, my brother vanishing suddenly with nobody knowing where he went, etc. That's why you always plan ahead because you probably won't have time at the last minute due to something unexpected happening.
But now, the second of August, they still have received nothing. I contacted raga who said he sent it in standard mail. I don't even want to know why he would do that. I told him I would pay. So instead of overnight or express with tracking, he sent his divorce paperwork in the slowest way possible, and in such a way that we can never know if it got lost or even if they did receive it but misplaced it, lied, etc.
So now, being at the point where I'm going to have to leave soon, I pretty much have to start over with the divorce and file on my own. Because the paperwork is different I have to re-notarise it, too. This is a huge mess and once again I tell myself "why did you trust him? Is there any time in the past eight years that hasn't backfired?"
I'm starting to think the untrustworthy ones aren't the obvious assholes, but the people who seemingly mean well, but procrastinate and do everything half-assed.
Watch, his paperwork will show up just after you have filed the new paperwork .
Yeah, I expect that this will happen :P
It's frustrating because I know he's not really doing it on purpose, during our whole relationship there was a lot of sabotaging on his part, some of it affecting me but most of it accepting him. And I don't think he was aware of it, although pointing it out every time it happened might have led him to eventually recognise the signs and work on it.
I'm glad you figured it out with your husband. I think it's important to recognise when we are different that it's not about being mean or anything like that, but processing things in a different way.
For instance, Seamus used to get annoyed with my correcting him and, from his point of you, arguing over nothing. We eventually realised it's a way for me to deal with stress: when I have no control over something, be it a situation, a room, a person/animal, you name it, then I try to put order into other things.
One of these is for instance counting money and sorting the coins and putting them in rolls, which I have a long history of doing when stressed out. Similar thing with creating a budget. But sometimes I also try to order grammar and that extends to other people. Which can make me annoying, but I only do that when I'm stressed out to begin with.
We figured that out while we were cleaning up our office, which was a real mess. Seamus was feeling like he had accomplished a lot and he was in a good mood, but the more we worked on it, the more I was getting stressed out and so he would make comment and I would be annoying in ways I didn't see as annoying. For instance to name an example from a comic, if he had said "it's like watching paint dry in hell" I would have commented "Wouldn't paint dry fast in hell since it's so hot and dry there?" and he would get frustrated, when I though we were having an interesting conceptual debate.
It took him asking why I was being so critical that day to make me realise I was doing it (As I said, I don't see it as annoying or I wouldn't do it in the first place) and then realise why I was doing it: cleaning up a whole room requires making the mess worse, and I feel like I've accomplished nothing at all until it's completely organised, as in, books not just put on their shelves but sorted by author, genre and so on.
I'm completely fine with something being messy if I'm not working on it, because I'm "tuning it out", but once I'm actively trying to clean it, it's a personal failure if there is anything not in the right spot. And when you start out, everything you find needs to be moved onto a temporary spot until the right spot is completely clear, so to me it's not doing anything at all, it's still messy, but because I'm supposed to be sorting it, I"m just doing a lousy job.
And since I'm unable to sort and organise the room in a satisfactory way, I do it with other aspects instead, such as my conversations.
Anyways, ever since we had that talk, he's more tolerant of my comments and I'm more aware of them and try to limit them more. We also try to figure out something else I could be doing that could give me the feeling of having finished something. For instance, sorting the cards of a card game, or the pawns of a board game, or something like that where I can finish it, then close the box and it's actually done and I can go back to working on the room.
Seamus has completely different mechanisms. When he feels like there is something wrong, he needs to fix it, or he completely shuts down, doesn't really respond and gets completely apathetic. Now that I know that, I offer him ways to "fix" things, even when I feel there is nothing to fix and I was just trying to process things by talking about them. Even if what I say he can do to "fix" the situation has nothing to do with anything, it gives him a way to do something and then move on because the problem has been solved.
It helps that our ways of dealing with stress are not completely opposed. With Raga, a big problem was that the way each of us deals with stress is very stressful to the other person and so we just make things worse for each other. It also mean we never had the ability to step back, look at a situation and see how to deal with it in the future, because we were both too stressed out by everything to think about it in a constructive manner.
Talked to the lawyer again, after Raga sent me an email checking in because they should have received it by now. No kidding! They should have received it almost two weeks ago.
She was annoyed when I suggested to check that they didn't get it and said I should ask him for the tracking number. I said there isn't one and I suspect she'll say that there is nothing to do then and it's our fault for not tracking it. I can't blame her for that, but I do blame her for trying to convince me to file jointly. Ultimately it's my fault that I did of course. I always fall for it, try to give him a chance to end this on a good note, and I'm always disappointed. I can't stop hating myself for it. The whole point of the Nevada divorce was that it was a way to do it where he could not stop it, prevent it or slow it down. The second I said yes to his filing with me, I lost all of that, and made it all rely on him. And if there is something I learned about him, it's that he's completely unreliable. As much as he always blames it on everything else, he doesn't realise that failing to plan is planning to fail. I'm sure he's thinking 'oh well it's not my fault if the mail got lost' but the fact still is that in order to save 15 bucks, he's costing me a thousand, three weeks delay in the divorce, the loss of a job that stopped being available in August (after waiting for me to be divorced since August 2011) and possibly even preventing me from divorcing if I need a resident affidavit again as I need to leave the country soon and my landlord now knows that since I had to give my notice on the first of August.
But just as he is to blame for relying on the post office instead of getting a guarantee in the form of tracking, I am to blame for relying on him instead of getting a guarantee in the form of filing alone.
I hate that in the past decade, my worst mistakes have all been trusting and relying. I wish I could go back and do everything on my own. I shouldn't have agreed to marry him so he could stay in France and trusted he'd cooperate if we divorced. I shouldn't have trusted him to file the application for my Canadian residency, which he still blames me for even though my side was done in 2009 (I even complained on a forum in 2010) that I had to refile most of it since the data I had put in was all out of date by then. So I know I'm not remembering it wrong.
I shouldn't have trusted him with the Canadian divorce and should have applied for it before I left Canada.
When I look back, every time I chose 'trust him, give him a chance' over 'be cynical and do everything yourself', I got bitten for it. Even the smallest thing. One thing that I can't forget is when I decided to learn to sew and had an exam. I wanted to check if I had packed my sewing supply. I was about to but he said he had checked, and when I started checking he said I didn't trust him, and as hard as it was, I agree not to check and left.
Of course they weren't in there. The whole trip there I wanted to check but made myself not check. I though I should trust him more, that working on it would be good for our relationship, etc.
So when I got there, it was too late yo go back and get them. And I had to do my sewing exam with no sewing supplies, which basically means I had yo wait for someone to finish their assignment and then be willing to lend me theirs.
Obviously I didn't pass, and I made up something about the written part of the exam having stupid questions because I wanted to be 'oh well' and not stay wounded by it.
But then he kept telling everyone about how I had stupid questions on my test and every time I had that same feeling again, of wanting to go back and not make that mistake again.
I hate that I'm still hurt by it after all this time. I hate that it still makes me cry. But it embodies the whole thing so very perfectly. I tried so hard to trust him but he didn't deserve that trust, and instead of getting closer we'd just grow more apart until the idea of trusting him with my life and my body because horrifying to me. I became so controlling. When I deal with him I get like that again.
Buy not enough. I still go 'well he's trying, I should give him a chance'
And I think I know why. I think it's because I tell myself that if one time, just one time, I end up being right trusting him, then all these times getting hurt, having my life get nowhere and so on will have been worth it.
But I'm just throwing good money after bad... Except it's not just money, it's my whole life.
I need to stop caring about seeing myself as a trusting person, and start caring about taking care of myself, my life, my career, everything.
Sorry I've been venting so much. It's so frustrating seeing so clearly how you've been wrong and being unable to go back and fix it.
In other, better news, I talked to the immigration lawyer again. He says if I'm divorced within a couple of weeks, I might still be able to stay in the US. So if I file the new paperwork right now, it will be a bit tight but it should still be OK.
Bad news: I do need a new resident witness affidavit. I have no clue why I can't use the same one, but it does mean I don't have one and might not find a witness to sign for it.
This was all planned perfectly and I had to ruin it all by letting the lawyer influence me into turning it into a joint application. I'm so frustrated with myself.
Worst of all, I haven't told Seamus yet that I agreed to let Raga apply with me. I thought he'd worry too much that nothing would get done and as a result I wanted to wait and tell him once it was a done thing. That means he's expecting the divorce to be done any time now, and I have to tell him I'm starting over at best, and possibly I can't divorce at all anymore.
This is going to be a very stressful conversation.
Stop beating yourself up. You did what you did. You erred on the side of hoping you could trust him. Now you know for sure you cannot. End of discussion. It's just going to be a further waste of your time and energy to be angry with yourself about it.
Try to look at this development as a new problem with a new set of tasks. See what you can do to speed things along, and don't be afraid to ask people for help. You've been through so much, you can get through this now.
The world opens up... when you do.

You're right, and I have decided to move on. I sent Raga a message, offering to pay for him to notarise it again and send it overnight this time with tracking.
This is money I am willing to lose if he doesn't do it. If he does, I asked for the tracking number and we can see that everything gets done.
If I don't have a tracking number by the end of the week and they haven't received the old paperwork as well, I'll start a new procedure and I'll figure it out.
I know I said I wouldn't trust him again, but this would me a metaphorical handshake and allow both of us some closure. And because of the deadline, if it doesn't turn out only a couple of days will have been lost. And I'll know I'll have done everything I can think of for us to deal with it together, and I'm confident I can stop blaming myself and just move on whichever scenario happens.
Quick update because I'm on greyhound.
I asked Raga. Yesterday was too late for him to call the notary to get an appointment so he did today. He sent me pictures of the documents and of the tracking number. I'll sent the number to the lawyer as soon as I post this.
This is good news
Yes, it is. Raga says it should arrive on Tuesday, since there is the weekend in the middle and it's international (and Canada Post doesn't work on Saturdays for some reason. This has always been weird to me as both the French and the US postal services do).
And if that happened to get lost again, my landlord seems to be fine with being my witness a second time, so I should still be able to re-apply.
I should say, as I forgot to in my previous post, that Raga refused my money, as he doesn't want it to be used against him, which I'm not going to complain about.
The lawyer said she'd email as soon as she gets the paperwork, I'll keep you in touch when that happens.

So, I know there's a little discussion going around about the validity of SimC for stat weights and stuff, and I guess I wanted to throw my two cents in and see what's what.
The general consensus is that mastery is the most sought after stat for Feral, correct? On Fluid Druid at least, that's what is said in the guide he's got up for Feral. Anyway, I ran SimC last night/this morning, plotted out what stats would be the best, etc. and I got this:
1.66 Crit
1.58 Haste
1.52 Hit
1.52 Expertise
1.46 Mastery
The global settings I used were:
25k iterations
Low world lag
450 sec fight, varying 20%
Patchwerk style Boss
Raid Boss
1 Enemy
Good player Skill
Here is my armory: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/characte...ulate/advanced
As I'm looking at the stat plot that SimC made, it says that, after hit/exp cap this set of stat weights goes into effect, but before hit/exp cap, the Mastery > Crit > Haste stat breakdown is right.
I haven't reforged and tried anything yet since this seemed kind of odd, and I wanted the community's take on this first.

Survey reveals some consumer attitudes on livestock processes
By NANCY LYBARGER
Indiana Correspondent
JASPER, Ind. — Consumers are concerned how animal products reach their table. They want livestock treated humanely from birth to slaughter, and they place a priority on food safety.
They just aren't knowledgeable about how any of that happens – nor do they care much, according to research conducted for a master's thesis by a Purdue University agricultural economics student.
Nicole Olynk Widmar and Melissa McKendree presented McKendree's findings last week to the Southern Indiana Pork Conference. The thesis aimed to determine consumers' perceptions and behaviors, and there were 798 participants in the related 2012 survey.
Questions predominantly were about pork, but other protein products were included for comparison. The data are not public at this point, Widmar said; however, she shared some of the findings:
•The average age of the participant was 47
•Average household of two adults and one-half child
•Average income of $49,000
•48 percent male
•The sample was a bit better educated than the national average, but most other aspects were in line
•Average weekly food expense was $132.77 (slightly more than the national average)
Ninety percent of the participants said they purchased ham and lunchmeat. Younger, larger households bought the most. The top two lunchmeats listed were turkey and ham. Only 131 said they had purchased no ham; 440 said they had ham once or twice a month.
McKendree tried to determine if smoked ham was used mostly for regular meals or if it was primarily holiday fare. If people use a product mostly for holiday meals, they are more willing to pay a premium for the product, Widmar explained. Therefore, retailers are looking at two different products.
Also surveyed were participants' perceptions of production. They were asked if they had reduced animal protein consumption because of animal welfare concerns. While 14 percent indicated a reduction in consumption, there was a disconnect in perceptions, Widmar said.
"Consumers don't associate slaughter with the dairy industry. If you ask about pork products, consumers know a pig is going to die," she said, adding they seem more emotionally attached to a dairy cow.
Actions that are similar for both livestock and pets are most acceptable, she noted. Neutering, ear notching, crating and tail docking were not perceived as cruelty, because those are similar practices in pets. Most of those surveyed voiced neutral opinions about these actions.
Most of the concerns were about slaughter and processing facilities, followed by farm practices, then transportation and hauling. There was a level of agreement that practices reduce the welfare of pigs, but all the concerns were in the neutral area.
Most of those surveyed had heard of gestation crates through the media, so they ranked those highest in concerns about animal welfare. They also voiced concerns about group pens, but didn't know much about either aspect of production, Widmar said. To emphasize her point, she said more people were concerned about animal welfare in bacon production than in cold cuts.
"They didn't get it was the same animal," she explained.
Ground beef was a source of concern, as were eggs, but turkey posted the highest ranking for animal welfare concerns. It is important to note, she said, that consumers tend to tell surveyors what they think the surveyor wants them to say.
Of those who don't eat pork, 6 percent were opposed for religious reasons, while 7 percent simply chose not to eat it. Of those not eating pork, only 6 percent were opposed to anyone else consuming it.
"That means they don't care if you produce it or sell it. They may at some point change their minds about eating pork," Widmar said.
Keeping customers is less expensive than recruiting new ones, so she suggested producers work with existing consumers. "If they tell you they want it produced differently, you need to find out what they expect and communicate with them. Tell them if what they expect is possible," she said.
McKendree's research indicates some consumers are willing to pay more for what they perceive as humanely produced meat – but they want outside verification of the process. Some consumers are willing to pay about $1 more per pound for process-verified products, she said.
"We need a segment of the industry that is willing to change methods to satisfy that small number of consumers who are willing to pay the premium for the process," she said.

In vivo analysis of leukocyte-endothelium interactions and microhemodynamics in the pulmonary microcirculation during polymicrobial sepsis
Suche in Medline nach
|20. Mai 2011
Introduction: Acute lung injury is a key component in sepsis. Leukocytes are essential for host defence against invading microorganisms, but excessive accumulation in the lung may cause organ injury. The spatial and temporal characteristics of leukocyte recruitment in the pulmonary microcirculation in septic lung injury are not known. Therefore the aim of the present study was to develop an in vivo model to study leukocyte-endothelial cell interactions and microhemodynamics in the pulmonary microcirculation during polymicrobial sepsis.
Materials and methods: Polymicrobial sepsis was induced in 11 C57BL/6 mice by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). Animals were anaesthetized and mechanically ventilated after 4h (n=6) and 18h (n=5). A thoracotomy was performed to exteriorize the right side of the thorax. By means of intravital fluorescence microscopy, leukocyte-endothelial cell interaction and microhemodynamic parameters were analyzed in arterioles, venules and capillaries of the lung. Non-treated, healthy animals (n=5) served as controls.
Results: CLP significantly increased the number of adherent leukocytes after 4h in venules (600±162/mm²), arterioles (232±57/mm²) and capillaries (32±2/region of interest (ROI)) when compared to control animals (139±26/mm², 21±16/mm², 13±2/ROI; p<0.05). While after 18h the number of adherent leukocytes in arterioles (236±75/mm²) and capillaries (36±7/ROI) was still elevated, a decreased number of adherent leukocytes could be observed within venules (301±50/mm²) when compared to 4h CLP. Rolling leukocytes were found to be decreased both in venules (0.3±0.2/min) and arterioles (0.1±0.1/min) after 18h CLP (control: 2.2±1/min and 1.9±0.7/min). While microhemodynamic parameters in arterioles and venules of the different groups were comparable, functional capillary density was decreased significantly after 18h CLP (653±36 cm/cm²; control: 892±86cm/cm²).
Conclusion: Our data show that the leukocyte-endothelial cell interactions within pulmonary venules are elevated in the early phase of sepsis. In contrast, leukocytes trapped in pulmonary capillaries are constantly increased under septic conditions, indicating different modes of leukocyte accumulation in different parts of the lung.

Putty Squad – sequel to Silly Putty and SNES remake Super Putty – was originally supposed to be released way back in 1993 and was even sent out to reviewers who scored the game very positively ahead of its release. But then, unexpectedly, the game never hit store shelves. In 1993, the market was unkind to the Amiga. The rise of console gaming was really hitting a stride and many high street retailers were no longer interested in stocking Amiga games. Back then, there were no online retailers like Amazon or Play, and publishers relied solely on retail. As a result, the game never officially released.
But one has to ask. 20 years later, has the game been worth the wait? And are the people that have waited an eternity for the game even interested in playing it anymore?

Direct from its West End success, where it won three Olivier Awards, for Best New Musical, Best Choreography and Best Costume Design, as well as the Evening Standard Award for Best Night Out, the spectacular Top Hat is returning to the Milton Keynes Theatre stage after its hugely popular 2011 debut.
The story follows famous American tap dancer Jerry Travers, as he arrives in London to appear in his first West End show.
Travers meets the irresistible Dale Tremont, the girl of his dreams, and follows her across Europe in an attempt to win her heart.
Nominated for four Academy Awards, RKO's Top Hat was the most successful of the nine movies Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers made together.
Stepping into their shoes in the lead roles are Alan Burkitt and Charlotte Gooch, who have both performed these roles in the West End.
Clive Hayward returns as Horace Hardwick, Rebecca Thornhill as Madge Hardwick, Sebastien Torkia as Alberto Beddini and John Conroy as Horace's valet, Bates.
Top Hat is at Milton Keynes Theatre from August 26 to September 6.

Fieldline Glenwood Canyon Pack Review
Let's face it - today's hunters carry more "stuff." From binoculars to spotting scopes, rangefinders to GPSs, extra clothes, food and drink, and calls for every occasion. In order to keep all this gear organized and still easily accessible, every hunter needs a good backpack. While some of us can get everything we need into just a small daypack, others of us need something with a little more storage room. If you're like me and fit into the latter category, then you may want to give Fieldline's Glenwood Canyon internal frame backpack a look.
As with many of the hunting items I purchase, price was a big factor in choosing a pack for the hunting season. At well under $50, there are very few packs on the market with so many features for so little cost. While it's not a pack I would have chosen for a week of elk hunting in the Colorado backcounty, it's perfect for one or two day deer hunting trips that are more typical of my hunting season, especially if you are packing video equipment to the field.
Now let's take a look at some of the "pros" and "cons" of this Fieldline pack and see if it suits your hunting needs.
Once the pack is loaded, then your gear can be safely secured with the four compression straps included on the pack. And to keep it all comfortable, the pack includes padded shoulder straps with adjustable chest straps for a firm fit and a cool mesh padded back to reduce sweating when hunting in warmer weather. An additional feature of the Glenwood Canyon pack is that the pack is hydration compatible, although the bladder is not included. And no pack would be complete without a choice of Mossy Oak Breakup or Realtree All Purpose camouflage!
Probably my biggest complaint with the pack is the stiff, somewhat noisy interior liner material. Considering the cost, however, this is not a major issue for the purpose for which I use the pack. While I would love to see a softer, goretex lined material, I re...

Homeschooling expert: Sex-ed is a liberal plot — make kids watch guinea pigs do it instead
A conservative activist, who has been billed as a homeschooling expert by tea party groups, warned over the weekend that sex-ed courses were a plot to increase the number of Democratic voters by destroying marriages.
In an interview with radio host Jan Markell, Marjorie Holsten argued that the only way that schools could teach sexual education in the Common Core curriculum would be to waive obscenity laws in many states.
"People say to me, why would they teach such awful things to our children?" she remarked. "If you go deep down and you connect those dots, you see that when children are desensitized to sexual things, that affects their ability at a later date to bond with a spouse."
"And so if you have somebody who can't bond, they're not going to have a stable marriage. When you have unstable, broken households, how do they vote? Democrat. So this has a very evil underlying intent."
Although she did not explain to Markell how children were supposed to learn about sex without sex-ed, Holsten did reveal to The Daily Show's Jessica Williams in 2012 that she had used guinea pigs to homeschool her own kids about intercourse.
During an interview about Holsten's objections to allowing a high school student to take a porn star to his prom, Holsten told Williams that teenagers should not be watching sex on the Internet.
"They should learn it the way I did, by watching animals do it on the street," Williams joked.
"Actually, that was how I taught my children," Holsten admitted. "We started with a boy guinea pig…"
"What? You taught your kids sex-ed with guinea pigs?" Williams interrupted.
"Well, we had a boy and a girl guinea pig that clearly liked each other," Holsten said. "You really couldn't see anything because they're big, furry little fuzzball things. I mean, that's why there isn't guinea pig porn movies."

One famous Beaulieu research project sparked itself off when somebody idly broke open several seedpods of the needle whin, Genista anglica, growing on Dyke Heath, and discovered the seeds being devoured by a weevil hidden inside.
Evergreen oak woodlands (Quercus ilex, Q. suber), extensive and highly diverse shrublands with a large number of endemic species (i.e. species from the genera Cistus, Lavandula, Genista, Thymus, Erica, etc), and varied semi-natural grasslands, form a complex landscape pattern.

Above the timber line, high mountain summits are mainly characterized by endemic-rich cushion scrub communities, where dwarf Juniper, broom and heather species (Genista legionensis, G. occidentalis, Arctostaphylos crassifolia, Daboecia cantabrica, Erica mackaiana, Ulex gallii) predominate in meadows, peat bogs and rock plant communities.
Main depressions and major dune systems have vegetation comprised of tall shrubs (Retama raetam, Ziziphus lotus, Genista saharae, Calligonum comosum) and/or trees (Acacia raddiana, Pistacia atlantica, Tamarix aphylla, Calligonum azel, C. arich).
Only the Etna volcano has high summits above the timber line, characterized by a thorny cushion shrub community of Astragalus siculus, Berberis aetniensis, and Juniperus communis alpina, as well as the Etna tree-broom (Genista aetniensis).

A surprising offensive outburst pushed the Nashville Predators past the Detroit Red Wings 6-4 Monday night at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.
The Predators have been among the NHL's lowest scoring teams all season, but beat Red Wings goalie Jimmy Howard with relative ease. It was Howard's first game since suffering a knee injury three weeks ago.
Colin Wilson had two goals and an assist for Nashville. Craig Smith continued his hot play with his 11th of the season. Nick Spaling, Mike Fisher and Roman Josi rounded out the scoring for Nashville which won its second in a row after dropping five straight.
The Predators hit the road Thursday to meet the Boston Bruins.

they had a great deal going $25 for all you can drink draft beer and all you can eat food. and considering we got there at 1pm and left well after the game eating lunch AND dinner there i think we got our $25 worth.
but for now i'm just going to post some pics from yesterday to try to fool you all into thinking this is a legitimate blog post. i'll be back to real blogging tomorrow.
so as you all know this is a cleveland based blog (check the title), and i'm supposed to hate the steelers. which i do when they are playing the browns.
but i have a confession - i was rooting for the steelers to win the superbowl. i think i'll just blame the fact that one of my best friends teen (seen below) is a die hard fan.
maybe living with her for all those years in college rubbed off on me in someway. thankfully her fashion sense didn't rub off on me...
here's to seeing the browns in next years superbowl - i'm counting on you mangini!

I stopped reading at $25 all you can drink draft beer.ReplyDelete

oh...I have to tell you again how much I love the new site!!!
You are counting on Mangini? With him at the helm you won't have to count very high.ReplyDelete
Now that's one dedicated Steelers fanReplyDelete
$25? Great deal.ReplyDelete
It was warm here too! I actually didn't watch the super bowl. But, had there been a place that had the same $25 deal, I would have been all over it.ReplyDelete
$25? Hell yes thats an awesome deal. Glad that yesterday was better for you! I've seen a lot of Steelers outfits like that the past week.ReplyDelete
I went to a friend's house to watch the game and we couldn't figure out where to get 3D glasses. Guess we should have gone to a bar instead!ReplyDelete

$25 for all you eat and drink! Sign a girl up!ReplyDelete
sounds like a fabulous way to spend the super bowl, i'm slightly jealous :)ReplyDelete
Damnit, how did you get the 3D glasses? Now I have to watch Chuck in just HD and not 3DReplyDelete
$25? that is absurd.ReplyDelete
i'm jealous/teen rocks.
Kind of confused as to how any true Clevelander can root for the Steelers in good conscience. When the Steelers played the Ravens, every Clevelander in the country decided "This is like trying to decide whether you want to die by fire or drowning." It didn't matter how won that won -- it was all about the Cardinals beating either of them.ReplyDelete

I know I'm super late (I'm trying to catch up on my Reader!), but that's incredible. $25 all you can drink? Sign me up!ReplyDelete
Also, I was rooting for Pittsburgh because I have family from there. My boy's law school friends thought that was weird, but c'est la vie.
It looks like a wonderful evening!

Russell was getting such good results using CNP supplements that he suggested the rest of the team try them
(PRWEB UK) 20 May 2011
Norwich City FC has had a fantastic season. Ever since the board appointed Paul Lambert as manager the team has never looked back – he and his backroom team have propelled the Canaries ever upwards for back to back promotion - from the depths of Division One to the Premiership next season.
Norwich's breathtaking achievement has been all the more remarkable for the spate of late goals the team has scored to secure their promotion. 12 goals in stoppage time with a total of 15 goals after the 85th minute.
Fitness coach Mike Watts turned to CNP Professional, a leading supplier of sports supplements, for supplements and advice, to help the players through the long campaign. Defender Russell Martin, who was runner up for player of the season and who played every minute of every game this season, had been using CNP supplements for some time.
"Russell was getting such good results using CNP supplements that he suggested to me that the rest of the team should try them," says Mike Watts. "I approached CNP and they have been great this season, offering all support and advice we needed."
Team members now use a selection of CNP products including Pro Recover, Pro MR and Pro Energy bars and gels. Pro Recover, a post workout recovery drink that is blend of fast acting carbohydrates and proteins that aid muscle repair and growth, has been especially helpful in the Norwich campaign.
"Pro Recover has given us the ability the train more intensely," explains Watts. "Because it helps the body recover quickly it means we have been able to up the training levels between matches. This has resulted in an increase in fitness which has certainly paid off as shown by all the late goals. The lads have been able to play for the whole 90 minutes and beyond, they haven't eased up at all and have got the results to back up their performance."

Earlier this week, The Tax Institute met with the Tax Practitioners Board at their Consultative Forum. Members will have seen that last week the Board released their Strategic Plan 2013-15. The Board emphasised that the main objective of their existence is for consumer protection by ensuring tax agent services that are provided to the public meet relevant professional and ethical standards.
In this regard, the Board plays an important role in issuing guidance to registered tax agents and the public about the standards that tax agents are required to meet. This is demonstrated by the suite of guidance products that are available on the Board's website, and which is growing, as the Board continues to issue products on aspects of the Code of Professional Conduct (among other things), such as on the requirement to take reasonable care and to manage conflicts appropriately.
Currently, of great focus, is the extension of the Tax Agent Services regime to apply to financial advisers who provide tax advice in the course of providing financial advice from 1 July 2014. The Board is busily working away to prepare guidance to financial advisers who may become subject to the Tax Agent Services regime about what may be required of them, including education and experience requirements, how the Code of Professional Conduct will apply and other elements pertinent to registering with the Board.
The Tax Institute has long held the view that financial advisers who provide tax advice in the course of providing financial advice should be subject to the Tax Agent Services regime on the basis that it provides a mechanism for the protection of consumers of tax advice. This is consistent with the Board's objective and role in administering the Tax Agent Services regime. The Tax Institute is continuing to consult with both Treasury and the Board on this matter.
A detailed summary of the meeting will be published for members' information in a subsequent issue of TaxVine.
Kind regards

Living the Wrong Way
- Artist: Emily Kaitz
- Genre: Folk
- Release Date: 3/23/2004
'Living The Wrong Way,' released in 2004, once again features a variety of impressive side musicians, such as the legendary Drifty Texarkana on pedal steel, Oklahoma City piano virtuoso Louise Goldberg, and a cameo appearance by Keith Grimwood & Ezra Idlet (Trout Fishing in America). Despite the great musicianship, the most commonly generated comment by this album has been 'Is that trailer for sale?' The title song, 'Living The Wrong Way,' is not recommended for anyone who takes Feng Shui completely seriously. As usual, no subject is safe from Emily's irreverence, be it pedestrian traffic violation ('Jaywalking'), recommended behavior for sauna attendees ('Don't Gossip in the Sauna')or the pitfalls of home & car ownership (the frightening finale, 'Maintenance Nightmare,' a portion of which was aired on the syndicated NPR show 'Car Talk' on September 13, 2003). Four of the songs were recorded in Hendersonville, TN (outside Nashville) with Fred Bogert, musician/engineer extraordinaire and producer of Grammy-nominated duo 'Trout Fishing in America.' The rest were recorded in 2 different studios in Fayetteville, Arkansas. If you have loved Emily's other albums you won't want to miss this one!

My Essay:
The main thing that the Seminary Master of Wiccan studies program has given me is that it has instilled a
sense of independence about being a Wiccan. It's given me an emotional Rod to lean against to summon
up the bravery to say: 'I can follow my own Wiccan path and that's okay". That might sound unusual
but the Wiccan community is unfortunately not immune to its own dogmatic enforcers and what you
could call fundamentalist Wiccans. Devon and Lord Starwalker have shared a complete vision of a
practice that goes back centuries. There are some who say you can only be Wiccan if you are initiated
but the course gives instructions of how to self-dedicate and self-initiate. I can't imagine anyone having a
strong spiritual life without a solid solitary practical basis. This course can teach you the tools and
knowledge you need to be a Wiccan.
In a recent BBC documentary by Professor Ronald Hutton called 'A very British Witchcraft' I am
reminded that the origins of what we call Wicca today is British. I think this is important to realise, as
English speaking people we all have a connection to the British Isles and the folklore and magick therein.
As an Australian I am in a country that is influenced both by the United Kingdom and now the United
States. In fact one criticism of Australia used to be that we are too 'American'. As the English version of
Wicca was very ceremonial and relied on apostolic succession through initiation, when it arrived on the
American shores it developed in a different way, mirroring the 'freedom of religion' that many protestant
versions of Christianity did. Openness was created, especially with self-initiations. The ULC is a
pinnacle organisation that reflects this freedom, and what American culture did for Wicca in a wider
sense was invaluable.
Even though the ethics of the Wiccan Rede and the ethos of harming none are very important, it wasn't
a hard transition for me in becoming Wiccan to adopt this, as that was my ethic before being Wiccan.
What was important to me is understanding the concept of divinity, spiritual energies, and the use of my
own will. A think at the heart of Wicca is a soft polytheistic understanding of the universe using the Lord
and Lady as archetypes for all the Gods and Goddess in the Universe. Both metaphor and real spiritual
forces. A witch much be able to use 'energy' in a spiritual way, and be able to sense it. This takes
practice and is at the heart of ritual. The way that a witch commands energy starts in their own mind,
and instructions go out into the world. Willing something into existence, through ritual and magick is a
combination of energy and the mind, overseen by the Lord and Lady, and other Gods evoked.
This course was an excellent introduction to Wicca and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to
know more about the faith.

A strong sense of community has helped Japanese earthquake and tsunami victims cope
Weathering life's storms
Published 5:30 am, Monday, March 21, 2011
A strong sense of community and value placed on quiet perseverance may be offering comfort and structure in the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami that devastated parts of Japan this month.
"Japan is a very community-oriented society," said John Traphagan, an anthropologist at the University of Texas in Austin who specializes in Japan.
"What is happening is that people band together very tightly and help each other get through it," said Traphagan, who has in-laws in Japan.
During times of great stress, sorrow and deprivation, the emphasis on community may offer strength in numbers, said Keiji Asakura of the Japan-America Society of Houston.
"Dealing with (this tragedy) with just one person is not possible," he said. "I think it is important to have community.
"At the same time losing the community is just devastating," Asakura added. "It's like losing the family."

Some communities were crushed March 11 by the 9-magnitude earthquake and the tsunami that followed. The worst of the destruction from the tsunami occurred on Japan's northeastern coastline, and officials fear that the death toll could climb above 10,000. In the aftermath, evacuees of the disaster have struggled without shelter, electricity, food and water. In some cities, fears of exposure to radiation from damaged nuclear plants have added to the struggles.
Asakura's mother and sister live near Tokyo and were unharmed by the earthquake, though his mother's home was damaged, he said. Asakura, a Houston-based landscape architect who was born in Japan, has spoken with his family nearly daily and has kept in touch with friends in Japan.
"In Japan, it is all about the collective, what you do as a group," he said. "In an emergency, that works better."
The sense of collective is supported both by cultural norms and "is reinforced by social and political structures in Japan," Traphagan said.
Scholars point out that there are differences between communities in large cities and some of the small fishing villages crushed by the tsunami. And reactions to the devastation are certainly different in seaside villages ravaged by water and in cities where families are worried about the threats of radiation exposure.
Most neighborhoods in Japan have formal organizations in place that deal with daily community problems but also spring to action to provide local leadership in times of difficulty, said Traphagan, who has conducted extensive anthropological in the Iwate Prefecture. The coastal part of the prefecture was affected by the tsunami.
In addition, there are parts of Japan where generations live together and the concept of family extends to relations that most Americans would consider distant. This family structure can offer a network of support in times of disaster, he said.
Reaction to the disaster comes in part from the level of preparedness, Asakura said. Children and adults are taught how to react to natural disasters and plans are in place for communities to gather for information, he said.
Though he has lived in Houston since 1982, Asakura was in Kobe, Japan, on business in 1995 when the earthquake hit that killed more than 6,400. His hotel survived the quake, but nearby buildings and a hospital were crushed. Neighborhood organizations and networks were able to provided information in communal gathering spots such as parks and community centers, he said.
But the recent tsunami has left destruction beyond the norm of natural disasters even for Japan, Asakura said.
"This is beyond what they were really prepared to deal with," he said.
For older generations in Japan, the experience of suffering harks to World War II, when hundreds of thousands were killed and many cities reduced to rubble, Traphagan said. Even younger generations are reminded of the hardships of that time.
"There is still a cultural memory of that," he said.
Much of Japanese society also places worth in gaman, a concept that implies quiet perseverance.
"That is a very highly valued trait by Japanese society," said Ted Bestor, chairman of the anthropology department at Harvard University and a specialist on contemporary Japanese culture.
The capacity to endure difficulty is also valued. It is considered praise to tell someone that they have given something their best, Bestor said. In Japanese, the compliment would be yoku ganbarimashita, he said.
Asakura imagines that these days there is probably a phrase being shared among people impacted by the disaster. It's a term of encouragement offered during a difficult task, that general means, keep it up: ganbatte.

Jacob Behrends continued his mastery of Patoka's lineup on Monday, striking out 14 Warriors during a 7-2 victory for Brownstown/St. Elmo.
It was the second straight strong start against the Warriors after Behrends picked up 22 strikeouts this past September during the championship game of the Egyptian-Illini Conference Tournament.
Freshman Landon Feezel and sophomore Noah Flowers each had two-run singles, and senior Dustin Lawson and junior Drake Hall each also drove in a run for the Bombers (2-1).

What I think happened is that the person who made all that stuff bout vampires not dying in the sun prob created his or her own. (whoever wrote the book.) creature and just called it a vampier and through in one trait. (sucking of blood.) because everyone is familure with vampires. If the writer/movie maker made the creature a non vampire and into somthing else thats mythical the show/book would be better.
Otherwise whoever funded this movie is a Retard, whoever wrote the book and put the traits in first is a retard. And romances like this should be put down.
But the movie was alright little to long for my taste. and as for vamps not being real gotta tell that to the people that devote their entire lives around vampires. they think their real. >.o
Very Funny
I really enjoyed this. You are dead-on about the illogical points of the film. At least to someone like me who hasn't seen or read Twilight. Either way, very funny. I love the voice acting, timing, and the way you synched the images with the audio. It's very funny and well written.
Just a personal pet peeve, based on my own interest in vampire mythology, you can't really criticize using "common knowledge" vampire traits as a basis. ("Useless" this review to your hearts' content.) The original folklore legends vary widely. For example people killed vampires using a variety of methods including, but not limited to, a stake through the heart, a brick shoved in a corpse's mouth, or some even put scythes in the coffin to cut off the head of any vampire who tried to rise. And the same way the folklore doesn't agree, every book has a different take on what vampires are, what they are capable of, etc. I'm not saying glitter vampires is a cool idea or anything, but I've yet to read any two vampire books with the same "type" of creatures and you have to give the author credit for at least trying something new...however lame it may be.
Either way, this was good. It makes me feel like I might need to watch Twilight now for a good laugh though...
it says everything i thought!
Dude, that was totally epic, but you should have also said something about a part that i find very weird. at the end of the movie when bella's in the hospital, her mother doesn't even bother calling her father or whoever but instead she writes him an messag "Bellas OK, LOL"
awesome parody
just awesome
i haven't read or seen Twilight, for a very good reason, but this is awesome.

| Jillian A.K chapter 3 . 11/13/2012
I enjoyed this. I liked the persective Joan brought to the council of heroes and her discourse to Grace at the end. But I don't really understand Grace's objection. To me, it feels like she's trying to ban a book. I think it's ok to say you don't like a book, but to have it pulled from the class reading list? And just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean you should be excused from studying it. Otherwise, how many people would take Algebra? In an English class, you are bound to run into a book you don't like, sooner or later. But if Grace really doesn't want to read the Iliad, maybe she could ask for an alternate assignment.
| SANDEFUR chapter 3 . 9/25/2012
Fascinating conclusion with Joan now seeing all sorts of concepts about how to view The Iliad. Historically there probably was a Trojan War (archaeology supports that), but how much did Homer make up? We will never know, and probably Homer didn't know either as he no doubt built his tale on an oral history passed down through many generations. I'm really liking your Joan-in-a-book stories.
| SANDEFUR chapter 2 . 9/9/2012
This is an interesting introduction to a society so removed from our own, they might as well be aliens from another world. Motivation and actions are so difficult to understand, it is difficult to say if any of the 'heroes' would be viewed favorably today. Assuming Joan waking up now will allow her to familiarize herself with more of the Iliad, and maybe explain a time jump when she goes back. Wondering what lesson Joan is to learn from this experience. An enjoyable read.
| SANDEFUR chapter 1 . 8/24/2012
The Iliad, a fascinating choice and from the clues in the first chapter, I'm assuming we are skipping the ten years the Greeks spent outside the walls of Troy. I see Joan is using a time/culture appropriate name. Is she also dressed in the fashion of the day? So does Joan get to see and/or ride in the Trojan horse? Get to meet the famed Helen (and does she have a face that can launch a thousand ships, or was that just a political excuse for the war?). Looking forward to which way you take this story.


text: Hello all! I am an undergraduate who joined this newsgroup recently, and I have found it fascinating to hear about different people's experiences in biology, both here in the US and in Europe. I am only a freshman, but I am planning on majoring in biology or biochemistry, and then going on to graduate school. I thought I would take this opportunity to hear some of the opinions of people who have experience working in the field, and who have already been through college, graduate school, etc. What I am wondering is now that you can look back on your education, etc. (or just your undergraduate education if you are still a graduate student) is there anything that you would have done differently or any decisions that you would have made differently that would improve your situation now? On the other hand, is there anything that you are particularly glad that you did? I also have a more specific question. I am planning on majoring in biochemistry, but then I was thinking that perhaps it might be better to do a general biology major and not specialize anymore than that until graduate school, to leave more options open. Does anyone think one is better than the other? I'd love to hear some different opinions on all of these things. Thanks! Peggy Stolt Dartmouth College stolt at dartmouth.edu

This sundress is double the fun, because it's reversible! Learn how to make Marzipan's Double Dutch Sundress in any size– no pattern required.
1Fabric yardage is approximate, may be less according to size. I needed 1 yd for my 8-year-old.
2You'll need a total of four measurements.
- Measure around the chest, under the armpits.
- Measure the length of the straps.
- Measure from the armpit, down to how long you'd like the dress to be.
- Measure from the armpit to the belly button.
3Here are the formulas for cutting the fabric correctly:
Dress panels
- Width= Chest measurement x 1.5, + .5 inch (for ruffling and seams)
- Length= Length measurement + 1.5 inch (for seam and hem)
- Cut 2 of each pattern of fabric, 4 total
- Fabric casing= Strap measurement x 2, + .5 inch (length), by 2.5 in (width, all sizes). Cut 2 from one pattern of fabric.
- Elastic= Strap measurement -1 inch (for stretch). Cut 2 from elastic.
How to:
made with
1 yd cotton fabric
1 yd contrasting fabric
1 yd trim
1Wash, dry, and iron your fabrics.
2We'll make the straps first. Fold the straps in half lengthwise, right sides together. Sew down the open side with a quarter-inch seam.
3Turn right side out. It may be helpful to use tweezers. Then press the straps.
4Put a safety pin in one end of the half-inch elastic. Thread it through the strap. Zig-zag the ends of the straps to hold the fabric and elastic together. Adjust the ruffles so they are even.
5Now we'll work on the dress panels. Pin two pieces of the same fabric right sides together, then sew down both long sides, one at a time. Use a quarter-inch seam. Repeat with the other dress panels. You should now have two fabric tubes.
6Press the seams of these tubes open flat.
7Turn one tube so that the patterned side is facing up. Pin the straps to the top layer of fabric, aligning the strap's end with the top raw edge of the tube. Space the straps so that the top is divided into thirds.
8Roll up the end of the fabric a bit, then wrap the loose end of the strap under and around the bundle. Pull the strap's end to match where the other strap is. Pin it to the backside fabric.
9Now tuck this bundle into the other tube. The other tube should still be inside out, so when you pin, the fabrics will have right sides touching. Line up and pin the seams first, then pin the whole way around.
10Sew the fabrics together using a half-inch seam. Make sure that the straps are secured in these seams. Remove the pins, then reach inside the tube and pull on the edge of the fabric to pull it inside the tube. Press the top edge of the dress very neatly.
11Now topstitch all the way around with a half inch seam. Always start and end at the seams, to minimize the noticeability of your backstitches.
12Now draw a chalk line below the seam, all the way around. It should be slightly wider than your elastic. Sew on top of the chalk line, stopping 1 inch away from the end. This is the casing for your first row of elastic.
13Reach between the layers of the dress, and find the casing's hole. Thread the safety pin and elastic through the casing. Then line up the ends of the elastic, and zig-zag together. Adjust the ruffles.
14For the next chalk line, you will need to divide the armpit-to-belly measurement by two. Measure down from the top of the fabric, and draw your chalk line. Sew all the way around, spreading the fabric flat on either side of the machine foot.
15Make the last chalk line the same width as the first casing. Sew on the line, stopping 1 inch before reaching the end. Thread elastic through the casing and zig zag the ends.
16Now go back and finish sewing the seams shut.
17If you'd like to add trim, now's the time to do it. I'm only adding it to one side of my dress. Fold under the raw end of the trim to minimize fraying. Begin sewing at a seam. Keep it even all the way around. Don't forget to change your thread to match. Sew along both the top and bottom edges of the trim. Be sure you're only sewing through one layer of fabric.
18Finally, we'll make the hem. Fold the raw edge of one layer under about 1 inch. Press in place. Line up the inside fabric and fold it as well, matching up the edges perfectly. Take your time to make this edge really sharp, because you don't want the opposite fabric to show at all. Repeat these steps on the other side of the dress.
19Topstitch the edge with a 1/8 inch seam.
