Windows Server 2012 & Windows 8 Available to Volume License with SA Customers
If you have Software Assurance on your WS2012 volume licenses then you can start downloading from the Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC). Those customers can start planning their Hyper-V (see the new features) host upgrades … but hold off if you are using System Center because you will need SP1 for System Center 2012 to continue to manage the upgraded hosts and migrated clusters.
It is not on MSDN/TechNet and is not expected there until after the launch on September 4th. @TechNetUK saw me tweeting on the subject and thankfully cleared up the issue:
I know, it's very disappointing but that's how the cookie is crumbling on this one. I'd love to have had it sooner so I could get current screenshots for the new WS2012 Hyper-V book.
Windows 8 is also available to VL w/ SA customers on the VLSC site.
SPLA folks, check your pricelists to ensure you are legit to move up first.
The Microsoft Partner Network download content has not been updated.
I got a tweet from @softwareweaver to say that WS2012 is now available on Azure VM.

Art treasures reveal royal tastes
The Queen opens an exhibition of the most important art and artefacts from the Royal Collection at The Queen's Gallery on Tuesday, 21 May. Bringing together works accumulated by monarchs over five centuries, the Royal Treasures exhibition is the first to be housed in Buckingham Palace's rebuilt art gallery.
The elegant new Queen's Gallery used to be just one room and a corridor - but now has a grand entrance and two new rooms where a kitchen and roof used to be. The space is stately but not intimidating, and mixes formal features with more eccentric touches. It takes a while to realise that the plant pots have been topped up with piles of apples, and Buckingham Palace dog bowls are an unusual addition to the merchandise range. The three main exhibition rooms - supplemented by a couple of other cubby-holes - have been decked out in regal but attractive hues of red, green and blue.
In between come some of the Royal Collection's many Da Vinci sketches - with aged and ragged edges - plus works by Canaletto, Hogarth, Gainsborough and Monet. Dominating the first room is Van Dyck's huge portrait of Charles I on horseback - but the gallery also gives prominence to a royal attic's worth of odds and ends collected over the centuries. Just through the first door, attention is drawn away from the Rembrandt and the Hals, and towards two very odd earthenware vases collected by Mary II. The hexagonal, pyramid-like towers, from Delft, Holland, have 54 spouts into which tulips could be placed.
But there are some smaller rooms and cabinets dedicated to artefacts like Indian jewels and over-the-top golden candle-sticks, table ornaments and altar plates. One cabinet houses one of the oldest printed books in the world, the Mainz Psalter, along with the Queen's bible from 1953 - which looks more like a school textbook. There is also the crown that the Queen wears on stamps and coins - and seeing it hung with its accompanying earrings and necklace conjures an image of a young Elizabeth, despite the fact that it was made for George IV. Some of the exhibits do have revealing stories behind them and can shed light on the last 500 years of monarchy.
But the tales behind many pieces are not so obvious, unless you trawl through the �40 catalogue. We are not told that Mary II's liking for porcelain led to her single-handedly inventing a new style of displaying it. Theme And Faberge's miniature farmyard animals become a little more interesting if you find out that Russian sculptors spent months at Sandringham studying the animals' behaviour after the pieces were commissioned for Queen Alexandra's birthday in 1907. Unlike many galleries housing such national treasures, there is a common theme running through this exhibition - royalty. The Royal Treasures could have told the story of the monarchs through their art - but it is too crowded and self-conscious for that, and sacrifices a fascinating dimension. Despite that, it is still a collection of great works that rarely come together for a public airing. A programme about the gallery, called Royal Treasures, will be shown on BBC One on Sunday 26 May at 1900 BST |

Sauces were nothing special. I have had many different recipes with muscles and this one is near the bottom
I rarely make deep-fried recipes but I had mussels left over and tried this one. The batter was very simple, but light and wonderful. I only made the basic mayo/mustard sauce so I cannot judge both.

AIBU to be very hurt and upset or do you think the same?
(68 Posts)I suppose this may be better suited to the mental health board but I'd like a broader perspective...I am currently 27 weeks pregnant with my second child. I have fairly severe mental health problems with a diagnosis of bipolar and a personality disorder, I have had many admissions to a psychiatric hospital over the last 8 years. My husband and I have always wanted a big family but put off a second child until I managed 12 months in full time employment and to come off all medication. Fortunately I achieved that level of stability and so far have been healthy in pregnancy.
However, a friend of mine on hearing our news told me she was disgusted that we would consider having more children as she thinks I am not fit to be a mother. She said as there is a chance I will leave now two children motherless it is utterly selfish.
I am totally gutted by this. Although I am close to this lady, she never sees me with my son. I have done countless things to be ashamed of when ill but am so proud of my son and how we parent him. He is happy, healthy and loved and has all the opportunities in our power to provide. He also is now lucky enough to have a sibling on the way and I know he will be a wonderful brother. Aibu to be upset by my friend's views or are there many out there who would write me off as a mum because of my diagnosis and behaviour when ill? X
I think Wannabe explained it really well. I would also be concerned, though I wouldn't speak to you in the horrible way your friend did. My DH's mum has bipolar disorder and was hospitalised on and off throughout his childhood. She also attempted suicide on a number of occasions. This has traumatised him and caused him lifelong problems. In between periods of poor mental health she was a good mum and I have no doubt that she loves him very much, but I can't help but feel that it's selfish to have children when you know you are likely to put them through this. I don't know you or the details of your condition so I am not saying this applies to you. I hope me saying this doesn't make things more difficult for you and that you can stay healthy.
Sj2008, none of us know the future and you have a right to decide your own future. If you get too hung up about other people's opinions then it could become a problem for you in staying well. Everyone judges other parents occasionally and you will probably do it yourself at some point that's just being human. I know someone who judged her sister for having a fourth child because the third one had died of a genetic illness. I could understand her concern, but it wasn't up to her. And your decision is up to you.
my mum attempted suicide seven times. i'm not saying its the ideal upbringing but we're all still here.
Sorry posting on my phone is not very tidy!
wannaBe I suppose this was what I was trying to get at by posting. I know she was rude and out of order in the manner in which she expressed her opinions as people seem to agree, but actually how many people would judge our decision to have another child given my circumstances? Is it that people in my life are concerned about the 'what ifs' for the future which I accept is understandable. Orccould it be that people do make assumptions about my ability to parent because of my illness?
The latter is so upsetting to consider. Although I have had periods where I have been very very ill, a lot more of the time I am my normal self. I have been very privileged to have had excellent education and so I have been able to research my illness and am proud of my understanding.I have considered all aspects of having children as a bipolar mum and I know I am in the best position to have made the right decision. What is upsetting is people's presumption that because I have been ill, that I am incapableof this decision.
hang on, who said anything about the friend being concerned about the dc inheriting mh issues? iirc the friend suggested the op was selfish as her mh issues it would seem leave her with a high possibility of suicide (as attempted in the past) and thus the chance of leaving children motherless.
The friend shouldn't have made the comments in the way that she did. But equally it is a bit naive to think that people won't have concerns/opinions over someone who has mental health issues with a history of attempted suicide having children, and the impact those issues might have on those children and even on that person's ability to parent. That doesn't mean that someone with mh issues cannot parent. It purely means that there could be issues which might make that problematic either now or in the future. Thinking it doesn't make someone judgemental, but saying it makes them insensitive. And I'm not really sure how you even go about offering support to someone without coming across as patronising/doubtful of their abilities, so IMO the best thing to have done would be to say nothing.
I have a friend who had severe mh issues in her late teens/early 20s. She attempted suicide on a number of occasions and was sectioned several times. Eventually she came off all medication, met a lovely guy, got married and fell pregnant. And yes, I worried about her and her DC, although I would never have said anything to her along those lines. She had the baby and was healthy for some time. Then about five years later she relapsed and ended up being sectioned again. She has now spent the past five years in and out of psychiatric hospitals. Her child spends most of the time having to be passed from pillar to post between friends and family so that the dh can work to support them all while juggling being a father to his dc and spending time with his dw at the hospital. The dd now is aware of her mum's condition and even states that "mummy needs to go back into hospital I think." She is ten.
Friend is absolutely a loving and doting mum, there is no doubt about that. But her dd is absolutely going to be affected by this for the rest of her life, and that is an awful lot to put on such a young child. Nothing can be done about that, things happen and they're in the position they're in. But if friend decided that she wanted to have another baby then, given what the existing child has already been through yes, I think I would find it hard not to judge that decision. I absolutely would never voice that to her though but internally I would struggle with my thoughts on it.
And to whoever said that if it were a physical illness i.e. a terminal condition would views be the same? Yes, if someone was dying of a terminal illness and decided to have a baby which was likely to be left motherless I would think that selfish.
If you have kids and they end up with MH problems, then I would also say that you would be the best person to go to to talk about those problems and to advise any of your kids about MH issues. Simply because you have been there, battled long and hard to get where you are now AND because you gave birth to them and know a lot about them from bringing them up.
I couldn't imagine a better person to ask advice from than someone who has had MH issues and has become more stable as a result of the sheer stamina and treatment used in getting better (or as good as IYSWIM).
You should pull your friend up on her comment and tell her that unless she can give you constructive and impartial advice, then you'll be looking a new friend. No
Such a high proportion of the population has mental health issues at some point (mentalhealth.org rates it at 25% of the population ^each year^), can you imagine if none of them ever reproduced just in case they might leave their children without a parent?
You sound like you're managing really well. It's true that your history will mean a higher risk of AND / PND, but as long as you keep a look out for the early warning signs and make sure you have adequate support in place to deal with any issues, you'll be just fine.
Your "friend" sounds like she needs some education.
I am not surprised you are upset by this comment, it was certainly thoughtless and a bit mean. However, perhaps you should cut your friend some slack as you have known her for such a long time and she has been a good friend to you in the past. Maybe you would feel better if you told her how inappropriate her comments were.
If she used the actual word 'disgusted' rather than implying it, then I would be a lot less forgiving.
You sound like you are a very sensible and together person. Your DS is lucky tohave you as a Mum
Ditch her. She is no friend. DP and I both suffer with mental issues and DP has bipolar disorder. We have a son. We have had to educate some friends on mental health issues, but I would not remain friends with someone who still kept such appalling views.
What a revolting human being this bitch friend is.
Some posters have highlighted the stigma and ignorance surrounding mh, but whilst that is true (and I've experienced it first hand) there's no excuse for downright overtly hurtful and bitchy comments to a pregnant 'friend'.
Her views are nothing short of eugenicist nazism. What next? Sterilise all those of us with MH difficulties? Then those who are deaf (oooh yes, that can be inherited too doncha know!)? Then those with red hair?...etc etc...
My DH and I both have long-standing mh issues (DH has bi-polar) and I have a long and proud family heritage of mh problems (parents, gps etc) but thankfully noone suggested our DS was anything other than fortunate to have such loving family.
OP- you're doing exceptionally to be so happy, pregnant and stable. Long may it all be well. Ignore the silly twunt, cut her out, and enjoy the rest of your pg.
Oh, and have some by way of congrats on everything.
I haven't read the whole thread but congratulations on the mental health you have worked to achieve and on your pregnancy. It sounds like you have approached this in a level-headed, highly responsible way. Your friends should be congratulating you as well!
A true friend who was worried about you would offer support when the baby comes -- not say you shouldn't have a baby.
Well done you for achieving what you have. I am bipolar and have done many awful things I am thoroughly ashamed of. when I wanted children some friends said I shouldn't because I was too selfish - ie the manic me, not me all the time. One of these 'friends' went off with my husband when I was manic as he needed a shoulder to cry on so they weren't exactly good friends.
Anyway, I have now been med free for 3 years and have a 5mo ds with new dh. I have never been more stable. Having a goal and someone I love more than anything really helped me not get sucked into the heady feelings of mania. I learned to recognise signs and take care of myself more.
I don't think your friend understands mh issues very well and at best her comments are hurtful and untrue. Good luck, you sound very brave.
I think she was horribly insensitive and cruel in what she said and how she said it but, as the daughter of someone with severe MH issues, I understand how she would be concerned.
In my mother's family, 4/6 siblings had serious MH problems. Out of 17 cousins, 3 were fine (belonged to those w/o MH issues), 2 adopted, 3 in care, 3 raised away from their MI parent, 6 raised in home with MI parent but with incredibly difficult childhood.
I don't know them all now, but most of them have MH problems of their own and ALL (apart from the 3) had terribly traumatic childhoods. I was quite young when my younger sibling was born, but I do remember thinking how irresponsible of my DM it was to have gotten pregnant in the first place. A very different situation though, with no stable home, an abusive criminal father and no support system.
That's not to say, by any stretch of the imagination, that the same will happen for your DCs, at all. But only too often the MI parent struggles with relationships and struggles to provide security for their children. Provided your DH can ensure that security and safety for your DCs, I think your children should be fine.
I wish you all the luck and happiness in the world. It's a hard life for all of us, and you have to make the most of it. As someone else said, you wouldn't be expected to stay childless if you had breast cancer. But you would expect to monitor your situation carefully, and ensure you have a system in place for if things go wrong.
I have no advice, but plenty of empathy for you. My own mother said the same to me when I was pregnant with my 2nd DD. I have bipolar and fibromyalgia and she has very little idea of what either of these actually entails and even less of an idea of what our life is like with it. Ultimately, you want the best for your children and you wouldn't have chosen to try for another baby if you felt it was going to be an issue. You also went about it in the most sensible and responsible way possible and I think that is so commendable. It is what you have, not who you are!
Even if she dsagrreed with you having more children becase your MH she should not speak to you like that
Yanbu.it sounds like you have a great support around you and a loving partner who will know what to look out for in the event your MH takes a turn for the worst.
Do people whose relative have had breast cancer avoid having children, because it is well known that breast cancer has a hereditary element?
Your friend seems to have very outdated ideas of MH issues.
What she said would be a dealbreaker in a friendship, good friends don't speak like that
Just distance yourself. Even if you do sport be polite and civil than don't have anything else to do with her
Meh, ignore her OP. Maybe she is jealous of the effort you put into being a good mum to your DS and wishes she could be half as good.
When I say that, I mean that you have battled through numerous admissions and ups and downs, with your MH, to be a good mum, so you've done more fighting than a lot of people. It shows you have strength.
2 words for you OP "Get Rid"
Take care
YANBU!! - She definitely IBU.
And I speak as someone who has an ex-friend who suffers depression and I believe undiagnosed borderline personality disorder. I believe SHE is doing her son irrepairable harm - but that is because she won't address her illness properly, messes around with her medication levels, and won't consider that she has any undiagnosed conditions. (My DS and I have become a target of her vitriol hence why ex-friend).
YOU have a handle on your illness. Yes, you may have recurring bouts in the future, but you have accepted that, and are doing your absolute best to make sure that your condition doesn't affect your DC.
And in my opinion, you are giving your DS an extra support base by giving him a sibling and potential best friend. (As I watch DS1 and DS2 playing together and humming the Star Wars theme together!!!)
Thank you for your kind responses and those who shared their experiences. As I am not playing sport at the minute it is easy to keep my distance from her. In the future it is inevitable I will see her often but don't think I will ever be able to forget what she said. It is hard as I do have anxieties about the rest of the pregnancy, birth and how I will manage with a newborn and hearing that has heightened those worries.
I think whatever the woman's thoughts were on the matter, she should have kept them to herself.Why do some people have to voice every nasty little thought that enters their head regardless of the consequences?
YANBU. If your friend was concerned she would have offered support and a listening ear. A friend does not make you feel shit during a time in your life when you're already vulnerable.
Please ignore her and enjoy your lovely DC.

This past Sunday night's 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards was a fantastic night for The Social Network, Glee, and The Kids are Alright, but aside from the notable win by Jim Parsons for Best Actor in a TV Series – Comedy or Musical, sci-fi / fantasy nominees went home empty-handed.
How could Christopher Nolan's Inception, Red, Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, and AMC's The Walking Dead not have won anything? The Hollywood Foreign Press Association definitely had their eyes on more reality-based entertainment as exhibited by the number of The Social Network wins and Al Pacino and Claire Danes' wins for their portrayals of suicide doctor Jack Kevorkian and autistic, livestock scientist Temple Grandin respectively.

Whatever you thought of Ricky Gervais' hosting duties at the Golden Globes on Sunday, that performance is one of the reasons viewership of the ceremony rose.
The 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards pulled in 16.99 million viewers and a 5.2 rating, giving the show a 5% increase in the key demo from last year for NBC.
Newspaper outlets and online social networks exploded with reaction which proved divided over the tone which some have labelled too acidic or "nasty", others however loved it and several online polls were overwhelmingly in favour of his performance.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association released a statement yesterday saying "We loved the show. It was a lot of fun and obviously has a lot of people talking. When you hire a comedian like Ricky Gervais, one expects in your face, sometimes outrageous material. Certainly, in this case, he pushed the envelope and occasionally went too far. The »

The Golden Globes happened. People wrote about them. Here's how it went: Ricky Gervais was shocking and will definitely not be invited back, says Tara Ariano, who then details many of the ways in which Gervais mocked both the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the stars on the show, and assorted others. (But she's wrong when she says he "took aim" at Scientology; rather, he took aim at a couple of prominent Scientologists.) I think she misinterprets Robert Downey Jr.'s response to Gervais, but the biggest problem is the lack of context: »

I love the Golden Globes. They efficiently toss out statuettes for film and TV in one snappy show, ply celebrities with enough champagne to say silly things on camera, and insist on bringing back Ricky Gervais to host, knowing he'll say something to tick off somebody important. So, in the awards-show spirit, let's get to who ought to win Sunday night. Best Motion Picture - Drama: The King's SpeechNo question, The Social Network is the movie of the moment. It's at the top of critics' lists, and with an amazing script from Aaron Sorkin, kinetic directing from David Fincher, and »

When I was little, I thought I would gain super powers at a certain age. I believed in angels and thought I would possess the power to fly. I believed in evil. I am in no way a traditional photographer. I use various mediums of editing within the photo to create my final piece. I am not here to show reality, nor do my photos portray it. Within each piece shows a different parallel world within our own world. One that is only accessible through imagination. Ones imagination that has been corrupted, with the vision of a child. The characters I portray in my photos define me as a whole. The exterior is nothing. We show very little of who we are and how we think. The only way to show that hidden emotion is though art its self. From murder, to horror, to depression, to love, to betrayal, to fantasy, each holds a piece of me. Asides from my portraiture, I photograph animals and redefine what a photo of an animal looks like. Each has their own set of characteristics and colors, to portray a certain painterly feel.

During the Term | Stopping Out
During the Term
Students who are unable to complete the courses they began in a given semester must initiate a formal withdrawal from the University. Continued absence from classes does not constitute a withdrawal, and an absence which continues through the final examination period may result in failing grades. Failure to follow proper University withdrawal procedures may thus produce an academic record which makes it difficult to return to this University or to enter another college or university. It will also incur a continuing financial obligation.
Various college rules apply on withdrawal status, depending on timing and circumstances of withdrawal request.
- During the first 8 weeks of the semester; students who are in good standing may withdraw without credit or penalty. No estimated grades are required.
- During the 9th through 12th weeks of the semester; students may be required by a dean to obtain an estimated grade for each course in progress. Students who have an estimated grade below C in any course may be placed on "must petition" status for reentry. If, at the time the student withdraws, their cumulative GPA including estimated grades is below a 2.00, the student may also be placed on "drop" status and/or assigned a grade of F in one of the courses from which the student withdraws.
- During the 13th week through the end of the examination period: All students who withdraw at this point are required to obtain estimated grades or await final grades in each of their classes. The college may apply an academic penalty for the withdrawal and set reentry conditions that apply to 9th- through 12th-week withdrawals.
Clearance for withdrawal is obtained from LAS Student Academic Affairs and the University's Office of the Dean of Students.
Stopping Out
Students in good standing or on probation have the option of "stopping out" for a time; that is, leaving the University for one or two semesters without initiating formal withdrawal procedures. Students who have stopped out will need to contact their admissions/records officer to be reinstated in the computer system and to receive a registration eligibility time.
If students are planning on transferring to another institution, the courtesy of initiating formal withdrawal procedures from the University is appreciated, but not required; if students have registered in advance for the subsequent semester, it is their obligation to clear these course enrollments. In cases both of withdrawal and "stopping out," students are encouraged to discuss their plans with an advisor, an assistant dean, and their parent(s) or guardian.
The Office of Student Financial Aid provides information concerning possible partial adjustment of tuition and fees.
The college has detailed procedures for re-entering the college.

Kludging skill level: Intermediate
Permanence: Permanent
Starting materials: Turtleneck sweater, matching thread
Required tools: Sharp scissors, needle
I received this heavy knit turtleneck sweater as a hand-me-down. The sweater seemed well-made, and I liked the soft, thick yarn and the charcoal color, but, due to what my mother lovingly refers to as my "pencil neck", turtlenecks just don't work on me.
Nice on the mannequin, bad on me. |
That rib around the neckline = sweater is well-made. |
The first step was to turn the sweater inside out, then put the tip of the scissors into the 'rib' that was formed by yarn that covered the joint where the neckline and turtleneck met.
Cutting into the rib. |
I continued pushing my scissors along inside the rib until it was opened the whole way around.
This uncovered the finished edge of the neckline, which had been hidden inside the rib.
Now I needed to remove the turtleneck entirely. I did this by locating and then snipping the yarn that was stitched through the now-exposed neckline, then into the turtleneck.
This was tedious. |
There were a few places where the knit pattern ended in visible knots or loose yarn (this had been hidden by the rib).
In the front... |
...and at the shoulder seams. |
All cleaned up! |
...but I decided not to stop there. I cut the leftover neck material into two uneaven strips, one with two raw edges, the other with one raw edge and the existing finished edge.
I continued rolling, letting the spiral get looser and looser, and then stitched through the bottom edge again.
Peony-esque, no? |
All done! |

Disgraced former pop star Gary Glitter, real name Paul Gadd, has become the first high-profile arrest in Scotland Yard's Operation Yewtree investigation into sex abuse allegations against late BBC host Jimmy Savile. He was arrested at his London home and released on bail 10 hours later. It's alleged that Gadd had sex with a schoolgirl in Savile's BBC dressing room. He was deported from Cambodia in 2002 for suspected offenses and later logged jail time in Vietnam for child sex offenses. As the standards and practices of the corporation that allowed such abuse come under increasing fire, BBC Trust chairman Lord Patten penned an editorial for the Mail On Sunday newspaper dubbing Savile a "devious psychopath" and promising a full account of what happened, "wherever its conclusions lead". The two independent inquiries into what Patten calls "the whole sordid mess" are not smokescreens, he insists. "The BBC must tell the truth and face up to the truth about itself, however terrible." – Joe Utichi

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/6x854n/north_american) has announced the addition of the "North American Development Survey 2012 v.2" report to their offering.
This series started in the Winter of 1998 and is the most comprehensive research survey series in existence focused exclusively on developers and IT managers. In this survey, we examine the changing face of Operating platforms; Languages including particular emphasis on Scripting Languages; Web Services and Service Oriented Architectures with deeper drill-down for Software as a Service and Cloud Computing, highlighting trend updates and significant changes.
This series explores: global demographics, platform use and migrations, language use, internal and external cloud computing, SaaS, SOA, security, Linux and open source software, Java development, general internet development, architecture and technology adoption, software development requirements, development tools, development issues, and application management.
Conducted biannually; based upon 393 in-depth developer interviews for Fall 2012.
New Evans Data Survey Shows 53% work on apps outside of work
Over half of all software developers work on apps on their own personal time according to the newly released North American Development Survey, a survey of over 400 software developers in North America conducted last month. Of those who do work on apps outside of work, 34% spend 20 to 40 hours per week, while 29% spend more than 40 hours per week on their own projects. The more experience the developer has, the more likely he is to work long hours on his own.
There's been a lot of conjecture over the last couple of years about just who are the people writing all those apps for app stores, said Janel Garvin, CEO of Evans Data Corp. While there obviously are specific companies focused on that space, and maybe a handful of hobbyists or students, the author sees lots of evidence that the bulk of those apps are being developed by the same developers who write traditional software for many types of companies as their day job.

How Media Shapes Government Priorities
More than anything, I want this government to get real about managing health care. Media has a key role to play in that. Like it or not, media informs our perception of reality. Media shapes how and what the public talk about. That influences government priority. And that is why balanced journalism must be protected.

I didn't say PE was a lazy port, I said if they just release that on PSN and not build it from the ground up on Vita, but they aren't, 4J Studios is working on all 5 versions (PS3, PS4, PSV, 360, ONE), so it's all good.

Simplicity 2767
This is Simplicity 2767. It is a seriously adorable Project Runway design. The basic dress has neck and midriff bands with gathers at center front. The skirt options are a basic dirndl or a bubble and there are three different sleeves as well as a sleeveless option. The pattern also includes several decorative additions, all of which are darn cute.
The pattern includes lining instructions and has a lapped zipper, which I didn't follow, although they were really quite good. I elected to go with an invisible zip (as I had one that matched in the stash), so I had to construct the dress differently than instructed. The outer fabric is an embroidered eyelet gingham from my stash. I think I bought it planning to make a summer blouse for myself, but it was just a perfect match for the crocheted flowers, so Myra got it.
Here is the back. I like the sash, although I wish I had gone with my gut and made it wider. I love a big fluffy bow and this one is a little anorexic. The zipper went in reasonably well, considering I have three seams and the check pattern to match. I ended up having to sacrifice pattern matching in order to get the seams to align perfectly. The check pattern is so fine, the jog there is less obvious than a seam mismatch would have been.
Inside, I built a lot of structure and swish into this dress. It is lined and underlined with a polyester twill that has a lot of body. It also happens to be a bit sparkly. Myra loves that, and you can see the slight sparkle through the eyelets in the gingham. It's a fun effect.
The pattern has an optional net ruffle that is attached to the lining between the lining and skirt. Instead of net, I went ahead and used the same twill as the lining/underlining. It is very crisp, so it makes a nice firm ruffle that gives the skirt a lot of twirliness. It also rustles beautifully when it moves. I love how luxurious it sounds and feels. And net is scratchy. This is nice and soft.
And the sleeve. Oh, this adorable sleeve! Can I tell you how much I love it??!? It just screams ultimate girliness. Pleated and puffed! And bound. I love a bound sleeve. I think they are so much nicer than a stitched on band or a plain hem, particularly on a puffy sleeve like this one. I took a few pictures while I was binding this sleeve. If there is an interest, I'd be happy to write up a little tutorial. Let me know.
Myra loves her new dress. She was quite put out when I made her take it off after our little photo session. I'm glad it is a winner. It was a fun sew!
Next up, another installment in my Wardrobe Basics - the tie waist sweater! I think I'm going to alternate a Wardrobe Basics project and an "other" project from here on out. I'm down to the more complicated Basics and I need a little break between them. I also have a bit more Easter sewing to do...

That dress has some adorable details! (I was rather disappointed Tyo decided she wanted a store-bought dress for her Gr. 6 grad this year... if I want to make a fluffy girly dress, it has to be for one of my little nieces. Or maybe for myself.) Also, it wouldnt've even occurred to me to try to match the checks on a pattern that small...
I am all for more tutorials (even though I'm usually too lazy to do them myself)! Love the pleated puff. :)

Andrzej Bialecki wrote: > Now I'm confused ... If I were to apply this patch, should I do this > both in trunk/ and branches/branch-0.12 ? You're right to be confused! I've thus far managed merging in Hadoop lazily. I apply everything to trunk, then merge things to the branch before making a branch release. That minimizes the number of steps, since otherwise I'd probably want to apply the patch to both branches, or merge as each patch is made. I also, to simplify things, stall patches for the next major release while we're still expecting to make another point release. Again, this simplifies merging, since all patches can be merged to the release branch at once, rather than patch-by-patch. So, right now, all the 0.12.1 patches are only in trunk, and no 0.13.0 patches are yet in trunk. So making 0.12.1 will require a single, simple merge from trunk to the 0.12 branch. Long-term, as we start releasing less frequently, maintaining branches longer, having more active committers, etc., this policy may not scale. But it's where we are today. Soon Nigel may take over as release manager, and he may propose a policy less influenced by laziness. Doug | |

We're actually talking 2358 here. If you did try to do a design for Cleopatra's Needle, I'd certainly be interested to see it. It'd be nice to see what the state of the art for civilian Federation ship design might be like in the mid-24th century. It would probably have some design similarities to Starfleet vessels, given a common culture and technology, but with a fair number of differences too, since it wouldn't be designed for combat. An interesting challenge, to come up with something that looks Federationish without being Starfleetish.
Love the Titan & Aventine, but have always wondered about the U.S.S. Verdun from The Forgotten War. Was said to have a crew of 900 & be from the 2160's. At first I pictured a Daedalus-class ship but I just read the book again a few months back & pictured a different ship. Have to also give a shout out to the Excalibur from New Frontier. I've always had a soft spot for the Ambassador-class.
I've always been partial to the U.S.S. Manning, myself. But we never got a chance to get her on camera. Just historical reference.
Those Defender-class ships - like the Inaieu from Diane Duane's novels were as species-tailorable as the rest of her version of Starfleet's order of exploration, weren't they, right?
Strikes me that whatever Cleopatra's Needle ends up looking like, it'll be a design fairly easily encountered in Federation-charted space. No?
Would the Needle's crew likely be double- or triple-bunking? (IE: two or three bunk beds to a vertical stack to make room for the lab gear and cargo stowage)
I'm quite fond of the Challenger from Diane Carey's Challenger books. She looked beautiful in Greg Bridges's cover paintings (if not quite like as described in the books). I also have a soft spot for the goofy SS Banana Republic from Battlestations! Oh, and the Combat Support Tender from Red Sector. Apparently Carey could invent cool ships!
There are days when I would pay in blood for the designs to go with those ship names from The Great Starship Race and Wagon Train to the Stars. Bluenose IV in particular...
Not really; as the excerpt says, it was a custom design, specifically built to fit the parameters of a long-distance, high-speed research expedition. So well-charted space is probably the last place you'd expect to find it. However, it's probable that it would have some design elements in common with other types of ship from "Centauri III's leading civilian spacecraft firm." The text implies there would typically be two people per room. Let's see, Picard and Langford shared quarters, and the Janasz family (Stefcia, Jameela, and their son Bazyli) would probably share another room. The rest of the crew included Xian Chuanli, his daughter Yanmei (who initially had a separate room), Doctors Ruyao and Allis, and the grad students Rosa Payne and Sorma, who implicitly shared a room at least part of the time. I think that's everyone I mentioned by name. I implied that Chuanli had his quarters to himself; maybe Ruyao did as well, being a big fellow. Which would leave Yanmei and Allis to bunk together for six rooms in all. But then Coray and her aide come aboard, Yanmei moves back in with her father to make room, and I don't know what Allis does -- maybe she triples up with the Xians, maybe sleeping on separate shifts. And on the trip back, Picard and Ariel are rooming together, so Langford would have to be somewhere else. (I wish I'd thought this through more carefully at the time; I'm not sure it's all entirely consistent.)
Just as an aid to visualization, compare equivalent spaces (bridge/flight deck, quarters, infirmary, galley, common areas, etc.) of Cleo's Needle and Firefly's Serenity: the spaces on CN seem like they'd be 50-60% of the size of the same sort of spaces on Serenity (always easier when you don't have to account for cameras ). Does that sound about right? I would guess that many (maybe not all, but most) would bear a resemblance to current day boats and yachts that are intended for anything longer than day-trips (in keeping with the Calypso analogy above): storage spaces everywhere, many fixtures that are fold-away or dual- or multi-purpose. (Not to mention a custom-starship mght have even more exotic space-saving solutions, like zero-g hammocks for when extra people on board make sleeping space even more scarce.) Nothing like the various Starfleet quarters we've seen in various shows.
I had been thinking of an arrangement with two decks, one with the bridge/cockpit and two rows of crew quarters on either side of a corridor, the other with the lounge and lab described in the book. But now that I think about it, maybe it makes more sense for the quarters and lounge to be together on the lower deck and the bridge, lab facilities, transporter, and engineering to be on the upper deck. Probably not a full-on engine room, though, just maybe a space at the rear that contains engine control consoles and maintenance access, perhaps with the transporter stage occupying an alcove between that space and the lab area.
I have the script books for Firefly and Serenity, with those roughed out deck plans and cross-sections of the titular cargo freighter, so the suggestions for deck space arrangements make some degree of sense. Your comment about not needing to allow for 21st Century-tech cameras is as likely true as it is devilish! As to the engineering spaces...you could probably put those on either deck, although a shipwright might be inclined to have as short a distance as possible for travel between the engine "room" and the cockpit/bridge. (Need to allow for reactant tankage, storage for crew-consumables, spaces for RCS thrusters, and so forth as well...and you said this baby's expected to be away from the core systems - and anywhere else that's considered "known" - for extended stretches. Up to a year or two? I have got to re-read Buried Age myself. Soon.)
I was thinking more along the lines that it would make sense for the lounge (which is presumably also the mess area) to be adjacent to the crew quarters. And oh, speaking of Serenity, I realize there'd have to be a medical bay too. Not sure where that would go. Maybe close to the labs and engine compartment in case of accidents. And next to the transporter stage, in case someone gets hurt on a dig and needs to be beamed up and tended to quickly. (A small civilian ship might not have the fancy "Beam directly to sickbay" setup that a Starfleet vessel would have.) The expedition takes just under one year, round trip.
Note to self based on that "one year round trip" remark: leave lots of room for bulk storage. Even with onboard recycling and compressed storage of raw materials as good as it is in the 2350's, a crew of twelve to twenty can go through tonnes of stuff. Also wondering: should I post links to the design sketchwork here, on the Trek Tech boards also hereabouts, or e-mail'em to Christopher?
^Trek Art would be the forum for ship designs. The crew is between 11-13 people, and I'd assume replicator technology would reduce the raw materials requirements. Also, they would presumably make some stops along the way at friendly-seeming civilized worlds or uninhabited M-class planets for resupply. Indeed, with replicator tech, all you'd need to do is beam aboard some comet chunks and you'd have all the C, H, O, N, and trace elements you'd need for replicating foodstuffs.
^Y'know, Chris...they say a picture's worth 1,000 words.... Would you be interested, then, in providing an image or two? A sketch, at the very least....
^It sounds like DEWLine's going to be doing his own sketches, and he may not be the only one. Clawhammer has expressed an interest too, and we've been discussing some ideas, though he may not get around to it for a while. I'm content to leave the sketchery to those with more artistic talent than myself. It's been a long time since I tried drawing a spaceship.

We have things that of course we'd rather they not do, but in the end, there isn't much we can do about that...so we want them to know they can always talk to us and ask for guidance and hopefully they'll make the right choices. Now, I'm not one of those parents that tells their kids, "if you and your friends are going to drink, do it under my roof" or any of that...we are balancing disipline (having to sit at the table for dinner, not talking back, etc) with good times. When I hear Keith talk about his dad I get chills because mine was a lot like that as well (though not as much into the object lessons). I'm glad that I am now able to look back objectively at that childhood and learn the lessons of what not to do. |

Why does Chemda ramble so much? She talks herself into tangential issues that are irrelevant to her or Keith's original arguments. For example, at 12:46, Keith mentions DJ Quad's email on Steve Job's death, then Chemda brings up fans who try to emulate Keith's demeanor. How are these things related??? Yet during the same topic, at 14:20, she reads a random quote by Dan Hatch: "Maybe Steve Jobs will get Keith and Chemda back together" and she responds, "No, we couldn't hear each other. He broke us up!". What was the point of that entire conversation?
I only complain about this because I tend to catch myself zoning out during parts of the show and I realize that it happens when Chemda has a lot to say. I have to rewind some segments 2-3 times just to figure out what she's talking about-- and I still don't get it. I do give her a lot of credit. She contributes meaningful information to every conversation. I usually agree with her perspective on issues as she is much more sensible than Keith. I just wish she would practice better word economy by making her arguments/opinions more concise. Last edited by Huggie; 10-11-2011 at 02:14 AM. |

Interesting to hear about more Nazi investigations being opened. My country was actually a German colony back in the day and I've recently learned of at least two families here with a grandparent who was a Nazi and fled after the war. The one person said they were positively terrified of their grandmother's cold personality and strict rules, when she told you to sit up straight at the dinner table and not slurp your soup, you did it. These and, I think, any remaining Nazi's who fled to here have since passed away though, so they managed to escape a trial. I always thought that if Hitler actually did survive his capture that this would have been the perfect place for him to go back then... home away from home.

Hello everyone,
I've been busy this week trying to put some finishes together and get some presents for family and friends wrapped. To keep their gifts a surprise, I don't think I'll post until after Christmas - except for the few that don't have internet access. You will probably be seeing Christmas Ornament finishes in January. LOL!
So instead, I'll share with you my 2 Heaven and Earth updates.
First up is HAED 2012 SAL SK Forbidden Doorway (Dillman). My last update was at 7350 stitches -when I finished Page 1. Here she is at 9244 stitches.
Fabric: Picture this Plus 28ct crystal Moonglow
DMC Threads, 1 over 1, full cross
I just love how she is coming along.
Next up, I had to move my stored WIP bag to get something out for finishing. When I did, my WIP Storykeep Forest Walk (Stokes) fell out so I spent the next couple of nights adding 500 stitches.
This was my first HAED purchase back in December 2009. I abandoned for quite awhile. I thought something was wrong as the picture showed a much greener bottom. I picked it up again after joining the 2011 SAL - I found the colors used blended into a different color as I continued.
This one has quite a few confetti blocks- especially in the area I'm at now (the face). I do love how it is coming out, but the 2 strands on 25ct has the back very thick and at times my needle has a difficult time.
Fabric 25ct white Irish Dublin Linen
DMC Threads, 2 over 1, full cross
I hope to make some more progress since next year's focus will be the SAL QS Mystic Garden.Hopefully I won't get sidetracked too much.
Have a wonderful day!

The Use of MistletoeThe plants bear fruits in the dead of winter, which was one reason it was seen as very powerful by the ancients. The Romans and others used it to decorate their homes in winter. Evergreens in general were associated with eternal life. Mistletoe was burned as part of Twelfth Night celebrations. This is widely used in English-speaking countries as well as in France. The custom of using it for ceremonial purposes led to its later use as Christmas decorations. Always hang Christmas decorations containing mistletoe out of reach so children. Otherwise, they might be tempted to eat this. Mistletoe is considered poisonous. This is used at Christmas for sprays, wreaths, and other types of holiday arrangements. Combine mistletoe with spruce, cedar, and pine boughs or sprigs. Hang a mistletoe sprig over a doorway. Use it either by itself or combine it with mixed greenery. Historical Use as a Decoration The European and English churches generally discouraged the use of mistletoe due to its strong ties to paganism. As time passed, it was used in some locations in England. In some cases, the carved images of mistletoe were also used in a church as well. The English church was very late in permitting its use, only giving its approval around 30 years ago or so. Traditionally, the mistletoe was used in Wales and England between New Years and Candelmas on February 2nd. There was a traditional ritual on Twelfth Night when it was taken down and burned, which was done as the person ran across the nearest field of grain thereby assuring a good crop. This practice hearkens back to its use as a fertility symbol. Many of the same beliefs about the display and safe disposal of other Christmas greenery and holly also were applied to mistletoe. Harvesting Mistletoe People are urged to harvest as little as possible. This will help to ensure that the plants dont become endangered. Mistletoe has never been very common, and over time they have become scarcer in some locations. Instead of kissing balls, sprays, and other large mistletoe decorations, settle for using small sprigs instead. Over-harvest has apparently led to shortages of the plant in England. Of course, other factors have contributed to the English shortage, such as the fact that standard sized apple trees, one of their preferred hosts, are gradually being replaced with small dwarfs, which are often incapable of supporting mistletoe without dying. Some apple growers wont even allow mistletoe to grow on their apple trees any more. The American species may be over-harvested as well. As early as 2005, there were reports of mistletoe rustlers who were stripping whole mistletoe plants from trees. When this is done, the plant cant grow back.

Jude Law is on a bit of a hot streak right now. After his transformed turn as Keira Knightley's cuckolded husband Karenin in Joe Wright's sublime "Anna Karenina," he's now taking on the lead role as a psyschiatrist caught in a mystery in Steven Soderbergh's "Side Effects," opening on February 8th. We recently caught up with the actor in Los Angeles to chat about "Side Effects," and he also dropped a few hints about some of his upcoming and rumored projects, including Wes Anderson's "The Grand Budapest Hotel," Werner Herzog's "Queen of the Desert," and a potential third "Sherlock Holmes" film.
First up is Anderson's film, which is now shooting, though plot details are firmly under wraps. What Anderson has shared thus far is that it's inspired by the movies of Ernst Lubtisch and Billy Wilder, and is set in the 1930s. But Law revealed that not only has he already completed shooting his part, the movie may be dipping into another era as well.
"I have a tiny role in it. Tiny tiny. I've just done it. It was five days of work," he said, adding that he's a big fan of the director and that, "it was really, really wonderful to be on one of his projects." He also dropped some hints about the plot, saying it takes place in two time periods: "…it's mostly set in the '30s, and my segment's set in the '60s." But he remained tight-lipped on the details of cast, saying only, "it's [Wes'] usual team." But we already the know the cast includes new and familiar faces such as Ralph Fiennes, Saoirse Ronan, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, Jason Schwartzman, Tilda Swinton, Harvey Keitel, F. Murray Abraham, Mathieu Amalric, Edward Norton, Adrien Brody and Willem Dafoe.
As for projects that may or may not be happening, Law confirmed Naomi Watts' statement that Werner Herzog's Gertrude Bell biopic "Queen of the Desert" is now on hold and he will likely be no longer be available for it when it returns. "I don't think that's happening. I don't think I can do that anymore," he admitted.
However, he seemed a bit more optimistic about a possible "Sherlock Holmes 3," though it may not be happening as soon as we think. "Robert [Downey Jr.]'s been very busy and I've been busy and it just hasn't lined up yet," Law explained. "I don't think it'll be this year. But that's alright, the interest is still there."
We'll have more from our interview with Law next week when "Side Effects" hits theaters.

Beartooth Highway (Cooke City to Red Lodge) is a moderately trafficked point-to-point trail located near Red Lodge, Montana. The trail is good for all skill levels and primarily used for birding.
This is one of the best driving routes in America. The views change throughout the drive. There's a waterfall, many many lakes, and you can drive to a higher elevation than you've ever driven before. We've driven the route many times over the summer to get to Yellowstone and it is hands down, the best entrance there is. there are many trails off the highway that you can do day hikes or camp. On one occasion we saw a young grizzly near the road.
We walked about 2 miles after the road closed. The views are amazing but the wind! Hold onto your hat! It was plowed so it was easy. We didn't see any wildlife or tracks. December 13, 2015. It's really nice that you can walk as far as you'd like and still not be at the end.

Retired Orlando, Fla., police officer Tim Davis Sr., 47, simply lost his temper, says WESH 2 TV. Unfortunately, his moment of unchecked anger cost the life of his son Tim Davis Jr., 21. During a child custody argument about his granddaughter, Davis Sr. pulled a gun and shot his son dead.
'I did not mean to kill him,' said Davis Sr.
According to the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, 613 Americans died due to accidental gun violence in 2009. While that's only a small fraction of the approximately 100,000 who are injured or killed by firearms annually, Tim Davis Sr.'s accident at a home on King's Eagle Lane in the Pines of Wekiva subdivision of Apopka, Fla., was anything but small. Apopka Police Department Capt. Jerome Miller said Davis faces a first-degree murder charge in the slaying of Tim Davis Jr., a former standout football player at Apopka High School and the University of Alabama-Birmingham.
"I did not mean to kill him. I have nothing to hide," Davis told investigators. "I was not trying to kill him. I just lost it."
The arrest warrant for Tim Davis Sr. notes that during an argument about Davis Jr.'s 3-year-old daughter, his son pushed him and punched him in the mouth. Police say Davis Sr. told them that once he began to bleed from the mouth, he immediately went to his car, retrieved a gun and shot Davis Jr. two times. Davis Sr.'s 9-year-old daughter corroborated this unfolding of events when questioned by authorities.
Argument involved custody of son's child
Apopka police records indicate that the fatal argument between Tim Davis Sr. and his son involved custody of his son's child. Davis Sr. retired from the Orlando police department in 2006 after 18 years of service, then went on to own three child day care centers. A representative of the Florida Department of Children and Families said that the murder charge will likely dissolve ownership.
"The arrest is a disqualifying offense under Florida statute," wrote the DCF representative in a statement. "Our legal team is aware of the arrest and reviewing information to determine the best course of action."
Neighbors stunned by shooting
Tim Davis Sr. was a respected member of his community who always came to visit his son, according to neighbors.
"It hit me out of left field," said one woman. "I would've never expected this to happen."
Another neighbor named Sean Chambers reflects the overall mood of the surrounding community after the horrendous turn of events.
"I'm still trying to feel what happened," Chambers said. "I'm kind of hurting."

A Dallas woman who beat her 2-year-old daughter and glued the toddler's hands to a wall was sentenced Friday to 99 years in prison by a judge who described his decision as a necessary punishment for a brutal, shocking attack.
Elizabeth Escalona did not immediately react as state district judge Larry Mitchell pronounced the sentence at the end of a five-day hearing.
Prosecutor Eren Price, who originally offered Escalona a plea deal for 45 years, had argued that she now thought the 23-year-old mother deserved life.
"On September 7, 2011, you savagely beat your child to the edge of death," Mitchell said. "For this you must be punished."
Escalona's other children told authorities their mother attacked Jocelyn due to potty training problems.
Police say she kicked her daughter in the stomach, beat her with a milk jug, then stuck her hands to an apartment wall with an adhesive commonly known as Super Glue.

24 weeks
This plan is recommended for road racers who are focusing on crits and shorter circuit races. A heart rate monitor is required. Power is not required, but it is recommended. Typical weeks will be between 8-9 hours of training, with recovery weeks around 6.5 hours of training. Most weekday workouts are only 1-1.5hrs. Additionally, this plan incorporates running and strength training. This plan will take you from the start of base training through your first A priority race. The plan starts with a 12 week base period where endurance and efficiency are the focus. During this phase, workouts include endurance rides, weight training, running, and efficiency drills. As the program progresses, weights and running are phased out, and more intense intervals begin. After the base period, you will start the 8 week build period. During this phase the emphasis will be increasing top end power, and your ability to attack and sprinting. The plan concludes with a two week taper before your A priority event. Throughout the plan you will perform field tests to gauge fitness and there are opportunities to incorporate level B and C races.
