Jennifer's Stash Rx
Designer Weeks Ringle of Modern Quilt Studio shared her remedy for making use of those hard-to-figure-out-what-to-do-with fabrics in a quilter's stash with executive editor Jennifer Keltner, who explains how she put the lessons to work with her own stash.
Fabric Without a Friend
Have you purchased a piece of fabric with no plan for what you'd make with it? Have you later pulled that fabric from your stash and wondered, What was I thinking? Me too!
Rediscover Your Stash
I was intrigued by designer Weeks Ringle's description of her one-day class Rediscovering Your Stash: "Gain color confidence and plan creative ways to use your stash! Mix a big dose of color theory and color exploration with an in-depth discussion of combining patterns and a pinch of working with large scale fabrics, and you'll end up with a plan for projects that you want to make from the fabrics you already have." To gain her insights, I met Weeks at Stitcher's Crossing quilt shop in Madison, Wisconsin.
Put It to the Test
Weeks Ringle first led me through her class, which is designed to help quilters creatively use their stashes. I learned a bunch in a short time, and then it was time for me to take my "test" to see if I could put into practice what I'd learned. Weeks tasked me with turning these five fabrics from my stash into a cohesive palette for a quilt. I still love them all, but, I confess, I wouldn't have grouped them together on my own.
Find a Bridge
Finding a "bridge" to link the disparate greens in my five stash fabrics is key, Weeks says. This one seems perfect. It has both the light and the dark greens that appear in my fabrics.
Color Search
Next I look at the selvage of one of my five fabrics to try to find a similar shade of purple to bring into the mix.
Rookie Mistake
My next thought is to try to balance the mix of blues, greens, and purples in my palette. Turns out that this is a rookie mistake. "Equal proportions of colors makes for a less interesting mix overall," Weeks says.
Put Aside
Based on Weeks's input, I toss out most of the purples and the deep blue.
Mix of Color
When I set my five stash fabrics in front of my stack of chosen fabrics, I notice that there is little purple and mostly blues and greens. (The bolts stacked on the left are the ones I opted to take out.)
Balanced Look
I feel like I have the balance right now, but remember another trick of Weeks': I wrap my five stash fabrics around the bolts of chosen fabrics so I could see them in equal proportion. Good news! I like what I see.
Search for Solids
To finish it off I think I need something to mediate the busy mix of prints. I search for a tone-on-tone or solid that will give the eye a resting point and allow me to see the seams in my patchwork. (After all, isn't that the point of cutting apart and putting back together fabric pieces?) I chose a linen-look cream print. Are you still not convinced it all works together?
Finished Quilt
Here's how my quilt turned out. I love the finished look and am happy I was able to use up some of my stash in the process. The hint of purple in the center blocks leads to a bigger splash of purples in the borders, tying it all together. I'm giving myself high marks for this test!
Try It
Try this exercise with your stash fabrics. My mission is to use up my stash so I have room for more!

Stephen Marro is having his "it" moment. The Long Beach-born and raised filmmaker is glowing with pride as his first feature film, "Broadway's Finest," hits the big screen – opening on Friday, Oct. 5, at the Malverne Cinema 4, in Malverne.
The indie film, which has been a hit on the regional film festival circuit this year, has garnered considerable buzz – along with an accumulation of awards as it made the festival rounds.
Now the movie – a comedy/action flick that follows the adventures of three struggling men who impersonate New York City undercover cops in order to create their own police drama – has reached the next stage of its young life: a full-fledged theatrical run, courtesy of Malverne Cinema owners Henry and Ann Stampfel.
"It is so gratifying for us to have had the kind of success we have achieved," said Marro, who wrote, directed and produced "Broadway's Finest." "Especially here on Long Island, to have had the honor of being the red carpet opening night film at the Long Island International Film Expo in July. And now to have an exclusive run at the Malverne Theater. I am so very proud. Long Island has had such a huge impact on this film, from raising the money to produce it, to shooting in many locations here, leading up to our run in Malverne."
Marro, a graduate of NYU film school, who grew up in Long Beach and now lives in Lido Beach, has also written and directed some short films and commercials. But this full-length feature, which follows the adventures of three men who decide to go "under cover" as New York City cops to do research for their drama and end up chasing down a notorious drug dealer is the high point of Marro's developing film career to date. It was filmed in various locations through Long Island, including Long Beach, as well as in Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn.

No starting RB. Let one of their top CBs go w/o even making an offer while re-signing a terrible one. And so on down the line... Makes me a sad panda even thinking about it... We've been kind of spoiled for awhile by this team.
this is exactly how I feel. I am not to happy about having a franchise QB in his prime and because the Rooney's are the Rooney's they got him no help and actually made the team worse then last year.
Normally, i wouldn't give this any thought but Mark Madden keeps saying he has it on good authority that Haley is so rough to work with that players and coaches are like rats abandoning a sinking ship. The reason this gives me pause is because of Haley's track record. Everyone seems to hate this guy wherever he goes.
As for things that aren't based in rumors, i can't stand the way this team is being run. I get that the Steelers have to be bad now, but it should have never come to this. They keep signing guys who are old or local but they let all their good, young players walk. Just doesn't make sense. Maybe these players don't wanna sign and the Steelers are trying and they are just saying no but it really does seem, from the surface anyways, that the Steelers have no intention of giving what their franchise QB needs to succeed.
-Really don't like the last couple of Drafts
-Really don't like the coach. Speaks in empty cliches all day long. Might as well not even speak.
-Really don't like attitude of the team. More clowns in that locker room than good guys who know how to win.
-Really don't like restructuring contracts endlessly and refusing to just accept reality and rebuild completely.

LACMTA proposes $4.9 billion FY14 budgetWritten by Jenifer Nunez, assistant editor
Los Angles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) will hold a public hearing on a draft $4.891-billion budget for Fiscal Year 2013-14 on May 15 at LACMTA Headquarters in Los Angeles.
LACMTA directors will consider adopting the budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2013, at their May 23 meeting.
LACMTA's budget proposal calls for keeping fares at current levels, however, CEO Art Leahy is urging directors now to begin discussing fare restructuring for future years. He notes LACMTA fares are among the lowest of any major transit agency in the world and riders only pay 26 percent of what it costs to operate the buses and trains.
In FY14, late night service will be added on the Expo and Gold Lines, there will be more weekend service on all rail lines and hundreds of new rail cards are on order.
Leahy is proposing to spend $261 million in the next fiscal year on deferred maintenance for bus and rail vehicles and facilities and another $37 million on capital improvements for safety and security, including $20 million for gates and other safety enhancements on the Blue Line.
Gates in the subway and many of the light-rail stations will be latched, a phased-in approach that will start in mid-June, just before the start of the new fiscal year. Next year, LACMTA plans on unveiling a master plan for Union Station that will address how the facility will accommodate transit system expansion.
Using the voter mandate for Measure R that is expanding transit options, in FY14 LACMTA will advance design and early construction for the Purple Line subway extension, the Regional Connector rail line that will connect the Gold, Blue and Expo lines to eliminate transfers and the Crenshaw/LAX Transit Corridor light-rail line, among other transit projects and programs. Construction is underway for the Expo light-rail segment from Culver City to Santa Monica and the Gold Line Foothill Extension from Pasadena to Azusa and will continue in FY14.
The FY14 draft budget is $316 million or 6.9 percent more than the current $4.575 billion budget. This reflects major planning, design and construction in the next fiscal year, as mandated by Measure R. In the new fiscal year, LACMTA will be spending $1.289 billion on Measure R transit projects.

67 and lovin my Jeep
By sarahsdawtr on Tuesday, February 27, 2018This is my first Jeep and its my favorite car ever and at my age Ive owned a lot of cars. Its extremely comfortable and a joy to drive with great maneuverability. The gas mileage is terrific on my long out of state trips. The price also makes it a plus.

This granny is lovin my Jeep and it helps to make me feel young again.

This morning LG Electronics reported to the Korea Herald that they have no immediate plans to introduce new Windows Phone to the market. Instead LG are focusing on Android for their future smartphone releases noting that "The total unit of Windows Phone sold in the global market is not a meaningful figure."
The company claimed that the partnership between it and Microsoft remains good but the plan to focus on Windows Phone, announced in 2009, has not worked out for them financially. LG ended up losing money for seven straight quarters and only recently turned a profit. As a result they lost a lot of market share, especially with HTC and Samsung having a winning portfolio of Android devices.
Regarding Windows Phone specifically, a spokesperson for the company told the Herald that they will "continue research and development efforts" on Microsoft's mobile OS.
This news comes on the heels of an announcement of Steve Ballmer headed to Seoul Digital Forum on May 22 where he will be meeting with various business and developers. Though LG claims to not know his business schedule the implication is that Ballmer may meet with LGE for some damage control regarding their recent smartphone decision.
One can claim that LGs offerings for Windows Phone have been extremely lackluster with only the LG Quantum (review), limited to AT&T and a few regional carriers, showing any real innovation. And despite being only one of two hard-keyboard Windows Phone devices it never sold well anywhere. Even the LG Jil Sander phone was a bomb having its price constantly cut, in fact when we got our hands on it we panned the phone as feeling cheap and unexciting.
While prototype devices like the E740 remain floating around (we'll have our mini-review of it later today), the phone is a far cry from anything interesting and would do nothing for LG or Windows Phone were it to be released. It's one unique feature, NFC, has very little support in most major markets in 2012.
Clearly LG is facing stiff competition, poor R&D and they are feeling the pressure from the Microsoft-Nokia partnership which they commented on in 2011. Perhaps they will use this to leverage a favorable deal from Microsoft if Ballmer meets with them later in May. While it could look bad to lose a major OEM like LG, we're not exactly too saddened either.
Clearly Nokia, HTC and Samsung are the future of Windows Phone.

LOS ANGELES - It's easy to understand why Hollywood loves doing business with author Nicholas Sparks. His books are huge best-sellers, and several of the films adapted from his novels - "Message in a Bottle," "The Notebook," and "Dear John" - have achieved impressive box office grosses. The latest Sparks adaptation, "Safe Haven," will probably continue his winning streak, especially with its Valentine's Day opening pegged to lure female fans. A thriller element that has not been present in earlier Sparks movies is designed to draw reluctant male viewers to see the picture, but they won't respond with the same enthusiasm as his core audience of woozy romantics.
The mystery plot recalls a 1991 Julia Roberts movie, Sleeping with the Enemy, in which the heroine fled an abusive husband and tried to re-invent herself in a brand new community. In this case our heroine, Katie (Julianne Hough), runs away from a toxic marriage in Boston, boards a bus, and on a whim gets off in a small seaside community in North Carolina. There she meets a sensitive widower, Alex (Josh Duhamel), raising two young children on his own. Because of their troubled histories, they approach each other warily, but there's little doubt about where their relationship is headed. Before long, however, a nasty blast from Katie's past arrives to threaten her newfound bliss.
The first problem with the film is that the burgeoning romance is too flat to generate intense audience empathy. Alex's daughter, who barely remembers her mother, warms to Katie immediately, but her older brother has a harder time with his father's new relationship. Still, this complication isn't especially well developed in the screenplay by Dana Stevens and Gage Lansky. In addition, the two main characters are such paragons that there are no real psychological impediments to their union. To jack up the tension, director Lasse Hallstrom (who also helmed the film "Dear John") keeps intercutting scenes of a grim, hard-drinking Boston cop (David Lyons) determined to track Katie down. But the gauzy romantic interludes prove to be something of a yawn. When her nemesis finally arrives in North Carolina, the film does develop some effectively suspenseful moments. But the drama is a long time coming.
A related problem is the casting. The best Sparks movie, "The Notebook," had the strongest cast, with talented newcomers Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams balancing seasoned veterans James Garner and Gena Rowlands. To put it as charitably as possible, the actors in "Safe Haven" are not in the same league. Hough, better known as a singer and dancer than a dramatic actress, is likably spunky, but Duhamel fades into the background, and there are no lively supporting players in the ensemble. Perhaps the biggest disappointment is that Hallstrom, who burst into prominence with his fine direction of child actors in the Swedish film "My Life as a Dog," fails to draw vivid performances from the two actors cast as Alex's children.
Hallstrom's direction is generally lackluster. The picture is certainly competent, but a dozen other journeyman directors could have executed this piece just as efficiently. It's hard to see much evidence of the talent that brightened "My Life as a Dog," "The Cider House Rules," or even "Chocolat." The seaside locations are tenderly evoked by cinematographer Terry Stacey and production designer Kara Lindstrom, but the film isn't visually memorable or dramatically vibrant. It does, however, have one sentimental surprise at the end that testifies to Sparks' storytelling shrewdness. This last-minute twist is shameless and stupefying, but it demonstrates why Sparks has an army of fervent readers. His fans will no doubt swoon over this tear-jerking finale, even while critics stare at the screen with jaws open in disbelief.
"Safe Haven," a Relativity Media release, is rated PG-13 for thematic material involving threatening behavior, and for violence and sexuality. 115 minutes.↵ Use original player Safe Haven Official Trailer By SafeHavenMovie YouTube

Learn more about LGBT Adoption Rights
LGBT adoption is the adoption of children by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) persons. This may be in the form of a joint adoption by a same-sex couple, adoption by one partner of a same-sex couple of the other's biological child (step-child adoption) and adoption by a single LGBT person. Joint adoption by same-sex couples is legal in 25 countries. Opponents of LGBT adoption question whether same-sex couples have the ability to be adequate parents while other opponents question whether natural law implies that children of adoption possess a natural right to be raised by heterosexual parents. Since constitutions and statutes usually fail to address the adoption rights of LGBT persons, judicial decisions often determine whether they can serve as parents either individually or as couples.

When I first heard of Hickies, I thought they would be perfect for me since I have a mobility issue and it's hard for me to tie my shoes. I also thought they would be great for my grandson, who hasn't learned to tie his shoes yet. These elastic laces are sleek, flexible, and easy to use. The main problem I had was getting the laces adjusted so my shoes weren't too tight. There are several different ways to use them, and the Hickies website has several great ideas and examples on how to lace up shoes. I received two sets of laces and instructions on how to use them.
So far I like the laces and like I said earlier, I had to tweak them a little to figure out how to make them comfortable and not too tight. For my grandson, I just used the regular technique on his tennis shoes and that worked just fine for him. He also thought they were "cool" and liked how they looked. He wanted to try them on before I finished putting the last few laces in the shoes, but this is how they looked on his feet.
Overall, I would say this is a fun and ingenious product, it was definitely a big hit with my grandson. As for my shoes, it is a lot easier to just slip them on, but I would probably opt for a different color (there are several to choose from). There are laces available for adults and children, but the ones they sent me worked just fine on my grandson's shoes. They are currently having a holiday sale, so if you're interested in checking out the Hickies lacing system, check them out here and check out this special offer: Save 20% HICKIES shoe lacing system!

It was the second national-security revelation to come to light in the two days after President Barack Obama won re-election. On Wednesday, the Pentagon acknowledged that Iranian fighter planes had fired on an unmanned reconnaissance drone five days before the election....Let's reorganize those facts:
Mr. Petraeus was scheduled to testify before the Senate intelligence committee next week. Michael Morell, who was named acting director of the CIA after Mr. Petraeus's resignation, will appear instead....
Administration officials said the White House was briefed on the affair Wednesday by Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. Mr. Obama was informed Thursday by his staff and met with Mr. Petraeus that day. Mr. Petraeus then offered to resign. The announcement came Friday afternoon....
The computer investigation began late this spring, according to a person familiar with the investigation. Mr. Petraeus wasn't interviewed by the FBI until recently....
He presided over a moderation of the CIA's controversial drone program to take into greater account diplomatic sensitivities, a shift that sometimes put him at odds with the head of the agency's Counterterrorism Center.
1. Drones. Petraeus had moderated the drone program to make it more diplomacy-sensitive, the head of the CIA Counterterrorism Center was not happy with that, and Iran fired on a drone 5 days before the election.
2. Benghazi. Petraeus was about to represent the CIA in testimony before Congress and now he will not.
3. The gmail account. This problem dates back to last spring, but Petraeus was only interviewed about it recently, the White House was briefed on Wednesday and Petraeus was confronted and pushed/fell into resignation in the next 2 days.
Given the timing of these 3 sets of facts, it's hard to believe Petraeus left because of the affair or the problem with his gmail. It seems much more likely to have to do with the drones or Benghazi.
By the way, who is the head of the CIA Counterterrorism Center?
Roger, which is the first name of his cover identity, may be the most consequential but least visible national security official in Washington — the principal architect of the CIA's drone campaign and the leader of the hunt for Osama bin Laden. In many ways, he has also been the driving force of the Obama administration's embrace of targeted killing as a centerpiece of its counterterrorism efforts.
Colleagues describe Roger as a collection of contradictions. A chain-smoker who spends countless hours on a treadmill. Notoriously surly yet able to win over enough support from subordinates and bosses to hold on to his job. He presides over a campaign that has killed thousands of Islamist militants and angered millions of Muslims, but he is himself a convert to Islam.
His defenders don't even try to make him sound likable. Instead, they emphasize his operational talents, encyclopedic understanding of the enemy and tireless work ethic.
"Irascible is the nicest way I would describe him," said a former high-ranking CIA official who supervised the counterterrorism chief. "But his range of experience and relationships have made him about as close to indispensable as you could think."
Critics are less equivocal. "He's sandpaper" and "not at all a team player," said a former senior U.S. military official who worked closely with the CIA. Like others, the official spoke on the condition of anonymity because the director of CTC — as the center is known — remains undercover.

Japan musician Ryuichi Sakamoto has throat cancer
TOKYO (AP) — Japanese musician Ryuichi Sakamoto has been diagnosed with throat cancer and has canceled his upcoming performances to focus on his health.
Sakamoto, 62, who shared an Oscar for Bernardo Bertolucci's "The Last Emperor" score, announced his illness Thursday on his official website.
He apologized for the inconvenience caused by the cancelations but said he needed to take time off from work to concentrate on treating his illness.
Sakamoto rose to fame as a member of the electronic pop band Yellow Magic Orchestra in the 1970s and 1980s. Since the March 2011 tsunami set off a nuclear catastrophe in Japan, he has been vocal against nuclear power.
Sakamoto also acted in and wrote the score for the 1983 film "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence," directed by Nagisa Oshima.

Affiliated: Fertility | Fibroid Treatment Program | Gynecology
What are fibroids?
Fibroids are the most frequently seen tumors of the female reproductive system. Fibroids, also known as uterine myomas, leiomyomas, or fibromas, are firm, compact tumors that are made of smooth muscle cells and fibrous connective tissue that develop in the uterus. It is estimated that between 20 to 50 percent of women of reproductive age have fibroids, although not all are diagnosed. Some estimates state that up to 30 to 77 percent of women will develop fibroids sometime during their childbearing years, although only about one-third of these fibroids are large enough to be detected by a health care provider during a physical examination.
In more than 99 percent of fibroid cases, the tumors are benign (non-cancerous). These tumors are not associated with cancer and do not increase a woman's risk for uterine cancer. They may range in size, from the size of a pea to the size of a softball or small grapefruit.
While it is not clearly known what causes fibroids, it is believed that each tumor develops from an aberrant muscle cell in the uterus, which multiplies rapidly because of the influence of estrogen.
Women who are approaching menopause are at the greatest risk for fibroids because of their long exposure to high levels of estrogen. Women who are obese and of African-American heritage also seem to be at an increased risk, although the reasons for this are not clearly understood.
Research has also shown that some factors may protect a woman from developing fibroids. Some studies, of small numbers of women, have indicated that women who have had two liveborn children have one-half the risk of developing uterine fibroids compared to women who have had no children. Scientists are not sure whether having children actually protected women from fibroids or whether fibroids were a factor in infertility in women who had no children. The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development is conducting further research on this topic and other factors that may affect the diagnosis and treatment of fibroids.
Some women who have fibroids have no symptoms, or have only mild symptoms, while other women have more severe, disruptive symptoms. The following are the most common symptoms for uterine fibroids, however, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms of uterine fibroids may include:
In some cases, the heavy or prolonged menstrual periods, or the abnormal bleeding between periods, can lead to iron-deficiency anemia, which also requires treatment.
Fibroids are most often found during a routine pelvic examination. This, along with an abdominal examination, may indicate a firm, irregular pelvic mass to the physician. In addition to a complete medical history and physical and pelvic and/or abdominal examination, diagnostic procedures for uterine fibroids may include:
Since most fibroids stop growing or may even shrink as a woman approaches menopause, the health care provider may simply suggest "watchful waiting." With this approach, the health care provider monitors the woman's symptoms carefully to ensure that there are no significant changes or developments and that the fibroids are not growing.
In women whose fibroids are large or are causing significant symptoms, treatment may be necessary. Treatment will be determined by your health care provider(s) based on:
In general, treatment for fibroids may include:

Garth Brooks is apparently about to start a comeback tour.
A post on Brooks' website Thursday said "The wait is over…7/7," as lightning flashes and thunder rolls in the background.
I suppose he's not talking about having lunch.
That would have to be one awesome meal.
Brooks stopped touring in 2001, vowing to stay home in Oklahoma with wife Trisha Yearwood, and raise his three daughters, according to Rolling Stone. At the time, he vowed not to tour until the youngest graduated from high school.
Guess what happened in May?
Well … yes, there was Mother's Day. But Brooks' daughter graduated from high school.
The singer has already booked a five-night run in Ireland, July 25-29 at Dublin's Croke Park. But there has been no announcement yet of any U.S. dates.
"We're going on a world tour in 2014," Brooks told ABC's 'Good Morning America' last year. "It sure feels good to get to throw your hat back in the ring … All my babies are fine with it. Ms. Yearwood is fine with it. So now I get to do what I love to do, which is play music. I get to be with the person I want to be with, which is Ms. Yearwood."
"My children are off on their own so the guilt of not being there … I'm a phone call dad now," he added, joking, "'Hey Dad, I love you, can I borrow some money?'"
I think he can probably afford to just give them the money without the whole "loan" part.
A July 7 announcement is reportedly in the offing, though Rolling Stone speculates that if it's not about tour dates, it may be a new project about which Brooks has hinted.
"There is something that could be happening between now and the tour that might be the biggest thing I've ever tried to take on," Brooks told Country Aircheck late last year. "If it comes to fruition, and it looks like it's going to, it will be the biggest thing I've ever tried to attempt. I'm really excited about it. It'll be done right, it'll be done quality. I'm in love with the idea and we just have to see if it's going to happen."
Sounds like he's going to try buying a really big hat.
Brooks' last album was the 2013 box set, "Blame It All on My Roots: Five Decades of Influences," on which he covered a range of other artists, from Hank Williams to Otis Redding.

This restaurant serves world-class food and wine. The only authentic Spanish restaurant in the area, with seafood, lamb, beef, pork and vegetarian selections, as well as many smaller tapas. There is live entertainment nightly, plus the annual Flamenco Festival.
Nothing special. Older men tottering around getting "turned on." Wish I'd stayed home.
The free tango lessons at Cafe Vincente were the greatest one on one dancing instructions I have ever witnessed. Superb is the only word we can use to describe the combined experience of authentic Tango Argentina lessons taught by Ms. Forde, her attention to individual requests and her professional style. Along with the great food and beverages our evening was nothing short of magnificent.
This place is great. Beautiful patio and delicious food. I have never left dissapointed and I assure other they will not either!!
Casa Vicente Restaurante was a real find for us. Well worth trying it--you will be hooked. Great food!

The BBC has been running a trial in which it films and broadcasts certain sports events and dramatic productions in 3D. Although this trial is still not over—the Doctor Who 50th anniversary special in November will be one of the final 3D broadcasts—the decision has been made: once the trial ends, 3D will be abandoned, at least until 2016.
This follows ESPN's decision last month to shut down its 3D sports broadcasts by the end of the year.
The reason for both companies' decisions is the same: it turns out that nobody actually watches 3D TV. The BBC did have some successful broadcasts—it's estimated that half of the 3D-equipped households in the UK watched the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics in 3D—but other broadcasts, such as Mr Stink (a 1-hour book adaptation shown at Christmas last year), saw just five percent of 3D-capable viewers watch in 3D.
And why does nobody watch 3D shows? Because it's a pain to do. Kim Shillinglaw, the BBC's head of 3D, said that audiences find it "quite hassly." With most 3D TV sets requiring special glasses and being picky about where exactly you sit, watching in 3D is less convenient, especially when lots of people are crowded around the set.
The BBC's trial has, therefore, confirmed what we cynics knew already: 3D was a gimmick that people can't be bothered with.
I'm not a complete 3D-hater. It can add a certain something—I saw Avatar in the cinema in both 2D and 3D, and the 3D made the already lush virtual world even more engaging. But if you're just slobbing it in front of the gogglebox, the extra effort hardly seems worthwhile, especially when most content isn't designed for 3D anyway.
Even 3D movies tend to make poor use of the technology, with most films not being meaningfully enriched by the extra dimension and annoying glasses.
The TV industry seems to have realized 3D's lack of appeal rather sooner than the BBC. 3D TV technology of some kind is now endemic, at least among high-end TV sets, but if this year's CES was any indication, TV manufacturers have already stopped pushing it as a meaningful feature, instead pinning their hopes on 4K.

Heel tips are a replaceable component which should not be allowed to wear down. Replace heel tips on a regular basis to prevent permanent damage to the heels. We do not recommend that you replace plastic heel tips with metal heel tips as this could alter the construction of the shoe.
Replacing Insoles
The insole of a shoe takes quite a bit of abuse, especially in flat and court shoes which are meant to be worn without socks. If replacing the insole is to help eliminate odors, first check to see if the insole is worn out. If it is not worn out, try sprinkling baking soda in the bottom of the shoe at night and then shaking or vacuuming it out in the morning.
Wet Weather Advice
Never dry wet shoes next to a radiator or any other source of heat: you'll crack the leather. Simply stuff them with newspaper or boot shapers and allow them to dry out naturally. If they are covered in mud, brush off when dry and then polish as normal.

Marlboro Music
Bill McGlaughlin and the Exploring Music crew visited Marlboro Music last summer. During our week at Marlboro we listened to concerts and Bill interviewed 22 participating musicians and staff. Listen here to their insights, experiences, and stories about the Marlboro Music Festival's community in the beautiful green hills of Vermont.
The Exploring Music streaming website is supported by Mr. & Mrs. William Gardner Brown and the Richard P. and Susan Kiphart Family.
Steffen Demeter
"You have opened up the world of Classical Music to me, where previously, it seemed too complicated.
Walther Davies
"This is simply one of the very best radio programmes in the medium!...The study of the people, the times, and the events that inform the music we otherwise enjoy and even, heaven forbid, take for granted, brings the entire world of the music and the composer to life.
Michael Sanders
"There isn't a program you broadcast on Exploring Music" that isn't of interest. I find them all engaging. It is a combination of variety of subject, intellectual curiosity and your obvious enthusiasm which characterize your satisfying programs.
"It's a great way to re-engage myself with consciousness before heading off to work.
Claudia Wertz
"I Love this program! I am in 7th grade and I am the complete opposite of the other kids. I am 4th chair in the orchestra and I love to read. But most of all, I LOVE classical music!
Christine Anderson
"Your show has helped open my mind and heart to this world of music, and every show I hear confirms my place in music and gives me new ideas for where I'd like to go with it in the future….I grew up with classical music as a child and always held it in my heart, but I didn't have the confidence to be a good student (or a good violinist.)
Sally Rosenbaum
"Listening to you is almost interactive.You invite us in with so many well modulated dramatic and informative comments, enticing, enthusiastic interpretations, and coherent, beautiful presentations. It's a privilege to follow you into the musical space you create.
Jean Quay
"I just love this program. It is soothing and comfortable at the end of the day. I find his comments interesting, but they aren't so dragged out that there is very little music. The balance of both is just right.

Cecil and Hermione Alexander House
The circular plan is organized about a central enclosed court, with all walls radiating about or from the center of this space. Extending from the house is a carport, its plan derived from lines extending from the center of the court.
A flat circular roof extends three to four feet over glazed openings, providing shading and protection from rain. A folded plate roof covers the court space at the center of the house with a domed acrylic skylight located at its center.
Closed private areas of the house wrap around the court space to the west and open public spaces are located to the east. Views from the court are focused through full height glass walls looking east towards wooded lot. Family bedrooms are elevated above the court approximately one foot. A stair to the southeast of the court accesses the basement recreation room and service spaces. Stair treads and risers radiate from the center of the house in plan.
Exterior walls are finished in wood and brick. Large openings are filled with inoperable glass panels; steel framed sliding windows are located in bedrooms, kitchen, and maid's room.
Interior finishes include walnut and mahogany veneer plywood paneling, vinyl and ceramic tile floors, slate floors in the court, wood floors, painted plaster walls and ceilings, and a copper free-standing fireplace. Steel columns are painted.
The structural system is post and lintel in the flat roofed area, with steel columns and beams. The "folded plate" roof is made of two plywood membranes bolted to a 2"x4" wood frame. A continuous steel cable under tension supports thrust.
to be completed
Innovative structural solution for roof structure was noted in local and national press.
The house was designed to accommodate the lifestyle of an affluent family in the mid-1950's, namely accommodation of the automobile and a desire for increased privacy and space.
to be completed
Received as an exceptional example of a modern residence locally and nationally, through general-interest and specialized publications and generated local interest within the arts and architecture community.
A 1959 Progressive Architecture survey of architect-as-designer-and-as-client residences includes the Alexander Residence in a selection of modern homes under the Alexander quote: "the family should feel itself a unit – thus, the circular plan." Included is extensive photography of interior and exterior spaces and a floor plan. The same issue focuses on the roof structure as one of its "p/a selected" details.
Editorial interest in the structure is demonstrated by selection of a photograph of the folded plate roof as an illustration for an advertising flyer soliciting subscriptions for the magazine.
A 1959 Life magazine series of articles "Tomorrow's Life Today" considers the "new technology" and the "changes it makes in everyday world." According to Life, this new technology includes jet-engine autos, nylon air houses, an aluminum beach house by Alcoa, an RCA-designed electronic kitchen, the Monsanto Chemical Company's experimental plastic house, and houses designed by Ulrich Franzen, Eduardo Catalano, and Cecil Alexander. A photograph of the Alexander residence court is accompanied by a description of the roof design: "Creased roof … is made of laminated plywood folded around plastic skylight and held together by cable threaded through lower edge…Light and cheap, it provides unsupported span for modern, uncluttered interior."
A period brochure from the Atlanta Art Association marketing tours of "Atlanta's Most Famous Homes" to convention attendees includes four photographs of the residence. More recently, the Atlanta Preservation Center included the home in its "Ancients and Moderns" event in fall of 2004. This event included a panel discussion between the "moderns" – John Portman, Joe Amisano, Henri Jova, Preston Stevens, Jerome Cooper, and Cecil Alexander.

When you leave the house, someone else may be wearing the same clothes, but no one else will be wearing your custom-designed, finely hand-crafted piece of jewelry.
It's not surprising that most women experience trepidation, and even fear, when they are shopping for engagement rings in Geneva, AL. Choosing the perfect Geneva, AL engagement ring to symbolize your love for your spouse-to-be, one that will remain stunning for the long run, is a daunting task. If you feel terrified about the prospect of selecting that one, perfect engagement ring in Geneva, AL, you are not alone.
BC Custom Jewelry is here, ready and excited to help you design your Geneva, AL engagement ring. We will help you work within your budget and guide you through the rather tedious process of buying an engagement ring. From the sizing to the shape of the stone to the end result that you will fall in love with, our expertise in Geneva, AL engagement rings combined with your visions will bring your dream ring to life.
Multi-Stone vs Single Diamond
One difficult decision that women struggle with is the choice between a multi-stone engagement ring and a single diamond engagement ring. Which one is the best? The answer comes down to personal choice and how the ring looks on the hand that will be wearing it.
If you look far back into history, you will realize that the single stone diamond engagement ring (the "solitaire") was the popular choice. However, more recently, the 3-diamond engagement ring has become more popular, probably due to the personality and the diversity that it offers. If you select a 3-stone diamond engagement ring in Geneva, AL, you can choose different sized stones to accent the band. You can even decide to design your Geneva, AL engagement ring with a diamond as the center stone and your birthstone or favorite gemstone on either side of the diamond, or vice versa.
Everyone knows the symbolism that a traditional one-stone diamond engagement ring offers. Just one glance and people know that this piece of jewelry represents love and commitment. The 3-stone diamond engagement ring has become a desirable prospect because of the symbolism that it carries. Many Geneva, AL engagement ring designers (as well as jewelry designers around the world) will refer to this type of ring as a trilogy ring or a trinity ring. It symbolizes the past, present and future of the union or can represent fidelity, love and friendship.
If cost is an issue and you need to stick within a smaller budget, you may be surprised to find out that the 3-stone ring may actually cost less than the one-stone engagement ring. This is especially true if you select a gemstone for the center stone and accompany it with smaller diamonds for the side stones. Take a look around at engagement rings in Geneva, AL and you will see that this combination is just as stunning as the traditional, one-stone diamond engagement ring.
Another thing to consider is that selecting three smaller diamonds that add up to 3 carats can cost less than one 3-carat diamond. Therefore, even though the task of choosing an engagement ring in Geneva, AL is already overwhelming, you can definitely design a ring with more variety if you consider an engagement ring with three stones.
The Classic and Traditional Diamond Solitaire Engagement Ring
Of course, no other ring in the world is as classic, traditional and graceful as a solitaire diamond engagement ring. It is a timeless piece that puts the diamond at the center of attention on your hand. Women love the solitaire ring because it is practical and people recognize it immediately as an engagement ring. While a three-stone ring that includes a birthstone gem, for example, could be mistaken simply for a custom made birthstone ring or a mother's ring, the diamond solitaire is unmistakably an engagement ring.
Coordinating the Wedding Ring
When shopping for a solitaire engagement ring in Geneva, AL, most women keep in mind the type of wedding band that they plan to purchase. The wedding band is an important factor, because you want to be able to carefully coordinate the engagement ring with the wedding band so that the two look stunning as a combo. You want both rings to complement each other and not clash or look too overwhelming. Solitaire engagement rings tend to coordinate easier with wedding bands than the three-stone rings.
No matter what stage you are in the engagement ring purchasing process, BC Custom Jewelry can design and craft your choice of either a diamond solitaire engagement ring or a three-stone engagement ring. The choice between traditional and more modern is completely up to you. Just let us know what tickles your fancy and we will custom craft the Geneva, AL engagement ring of your dreams in a timely manner.
