New York, New Yo...
The Jorinde blazer is truly the jacket for all seasons. Make it in a corduroy or wool to carry you through the rest of winter, slide your cell into the flap pockets, and you're on your way. Or, try it in a lighter weight fabric to get prepared for spring. Give it the cool grandpa look by adding elbow patches, or go a bit more lady like and use some sparkling buttons on the sleeves!

The instructions aren't the best, as someone commented earlier, when are you meant to sew the lapel darts (you missed that bit out guys!) and the yoke caused me some trouble, following the instructions 'Stitch the yokes onto the front pieces and the back pieces; seams 1 and 2.'
Looking at the pattern piece, and the numbers 1 & 2, if I followed this, the yoke would be on backwards. It's not clear how this should go on. Trial & error & close study of the pictures managed to sort it out, but perhaps diagrams or an extra lable ('front' perhaps?) on the yoke pattern piece would help…

I'm making this now, and I have a question about the sleeves. They're two piece sleeves, but don't seem to have any of the curve that I normally see in patterns with this style of sleeve – am I missing something or doing something wrong? is the fact that this pattern has two pieces to the sleeves purely cosmetic, and not for fit?

The collar scares me but a little fixing and small changes will help. I love the color, great for spring. … hehe, I see that model is curious about whats on the other side of the men's room.

Hi, thanks for the pattern burdastyle! I've seen that there was a sew-a-long for this jacket….so can anyone help me? I just can't work out from the instructions how to attach the collar and what to do about the darts at the top of the fronts – when do they get sewn up? I've made a couple of shirts with collars before, but this is my first jacket. Any help would be appreciated! :-)

The darts at the top front are referred to in step 6 as 'lapel darts'. There isn't actually any instruction about when to sew them, just to trim them. Sew them when you have done the waist dart & pocket.
I'm making mine without a collar so I can't help you with that I'm, afraid.

I especially like the shoulder panels, but the collar looks strange. Maybe it was accidentally sewn upside down and that why it isn't completely joined to the lapel. Still it's nice up-to-date interpretation of the traditional blazer pattern.

I like it, can't wait to make my own one :)

jep, nice jacket, finally another one (was waiting on it ;))
but why nog 34?? :'( tis is to big for me… the step from 36 to 34 isn't that big?!!
xx klaartje
Feb 28, 2008, 11.54 AMby tcarole
Looks like the back collar has some trouble because of the thickness of the fabric and the undercollar is showing significantly where it shouldn't. When I saw this, I remembered a blog I read called "The Secret Pocket" had posted a great tutorial on how to compensate for this and make perfect collars a while back. I dug it up and you can check it out here:
and here:
I love the leather patches, but I would sew them a little closer to the edge so the excess doesn't roll up.

The jacket is very beautiful, stylish shape, different and look easier with this neck piece – could be amazing for my new jacket :-) I like it…

I love the color, I'm not crazy about the "bulk" of it. I like the elbow pads and I like the shoulder pieces as well, maybe a lighter weight fabric would do the trick. Great job, as always you all at Burdastyle make beautifully constructed clothing!
Feb 26, 2008, 11.27 AMby podge
this looks amazing!!! i love it!! this would be a great one for winter or summer, i've just downloaded it and hope to be stitching it soon. Can't wait. Thanks again for another great creation!!!!
Feb 26, 2008, 09.19 AMby britnlind
I would want to make this just for the challenge. I like the details of the jacket. Yeah, what's up with the men's room??
Feb 26, 2008, 07.33 AMby lilo
Oh, I love it! (I obviously have the most booring taste ever – my daughter also confirms that…) I like the collar, it brings out those shoulder pieces nice on the front side; I like the closure with only one button; I like your choice of materials and details for it, I'll end up probably in producing a more-or-less copy of yours (so much for originality) since I like this one just the way it is. I would make one change though: I would go for the same color for the buttons as for the elbow patches.
Feb 26, 2008, 07.30 AMby jj1
I like the jacket, I like thoes elbow pads. I have sewn a lined jacket with this type of slit at the sleeves. I was so confused about how to sew them with machine and hide everything. Finally I found that the lining piece needs it own pattern left and right, very interesting.
Feb 25, 2008, 11.17 PMby lauriana
Finally a real blazer! It's a little bit boxy for my taste, but I really like those shoulder pieces.
Feb 25, 2008, 07.25 PMby anuchis
I have doubts about the collar…

Great blazer, but what's Eslyn up to going to the men's toilets?

Author Notes: For this recipe I use the Venetian type of pumpkin that I think in the United States is called Green Winter Squash. In Italy we call it Marina di Chioggia, and is chosen for its flavourful flesh. The skin is dark green and the flesh is yellow orange, sweet, quite flowery but not fibrous. It's the best type to make pumpkin gnocchi. In this recipe I decided to mix cooked chestnuts with this squash and push the sweetness to its maximum and serve it with a roasted pork loin cooked with chestnuts. I can also imagine it going really well with Thanksgiving Turkey contrasting with the tangy Cranberry Sauce. —Maria Teresa Jorge
Serves: 6
1 1/2
pounds Green Winter Squash
pound pre-cooked peeled chestnuts cut in pieces
tablespoons Butter
cup milk
shallots, chopped finely
pinches all spice
dash ground nutmeg
sprig rosemary
tablespoon chopped parsley leaves for decoration
- Pre-heat the oven to 375ºF with rack in the middle.
- Cut the squash, peel it, take the seeds out and cut in small cubes.
- In a baking tray, put a large piece of parchment paper, add the squash on top with 2 tablespoons of butter and a pinch of salt. Add a rosemary sprig, close the parchment paper and bake for 15 minutes. Open the parchment paper and let the squash cook for a further 15 minutes to let the excess water evaporate. Make sure you don't let the squash burn on the edges. When cooked discard the rosemary.
- In a pan, melt the butter and add the very finely chopped shallots until translucent. Add the cooked and peeled chestnuts cut in pieces, stir for 2 minutes over medium low heat, add the roasted squash, stir for 2 more minutes.
- Bring the milk to a boil, add it to the vegetables and bring it back to a boil. Add the remaining 6 tablespoons of butter, season with salt and mix. Process the vegetables with an immersion hand held blender or a food processor until you have a very smooth purée.
- Put back over low heat, add the all spice and nutmeg. If the purée is too thick, thin it by adding a little extra hot milk. mixing with a spatula vigorously.
- Check the seasoning. Serve hot, sprinkle with all spice and chopped parsley.

Apologies if this is off-topic, please move it if so. I assumed that since there are threads about coat shopping, it would be ok. I work at Language Link St Petersburg, on the dreaded split-shifts. I was wondering, is anyone else experiencing my current problem? My social circle is limited to the other handful of teachers at the school, since there seems to be little time or opportunities to meet anyone new. Of course, I hang out with students sometimes, but I'd really like to befriend other expats. Are there any clubs or networks available, short of drunken encounters on the club scene at weekends? That's really not my cup of tea. How do you all cope? It's becoming a rather lonely experience.

For starters, when I arrived, one of my administrators hooked me up with a couple of her Russian students (half of the Russians you're working with are teaching English on the side) who showed me around Red Square etc. I've kept in touch with them. I also met a group of people at a poetry club meeting that I found through the Moscow Times website, one of whom has invited me out on multiple occasions since then (e.g. the Moscow World Fine Arts Fair and a cruise on the Moskva). I met an upstairs neighbor who, although his English and my Russian are very limited, continues to invite me over for food and drinks. My fellow teacher and I also met a few other teachers who work for a different school in the area and we went out one weekend. Our school also has several different branches, so I've spent time with several different teachers who work at different branches in the region. In lieu of all that, you can always meet people offering up your bed or floorspace on couchsurfing.com. They may not stay for long, but if you're really lonely, it'll be a welcome distraction. Also, beggars can't be choosers. Put in the time going to clubs etc., whatever you can get. It's not exactly my scene either, but pay your dues and you'll meet others who feel the same and you can plan better buddy time from there.

For me it took away the things that make living in Moscow FUN like going to see a good concert on a random weeknight. Yes- hands down-this sucked. I saw less and less of the friends I have had here since I was in my teens and early 20s . I also turned into a zombified, cranky witch with a capital B due to lack of normal sleeping patterns that goes with shift work. My body and mind had had enough, and I got out. The only social life I had was my running events at the weekends. Weekends are and were my sacred cow. I don't work weekends, PERIOD. Sometimes, life is just too [email protected] short to be a recluse, so if there is really something like a concert once in a blue moon that you'd like to see, live a little and get the"blue flu" or "food poisoning". That sounds bad, but so is permanently working non- social hours. If you are stuck in split shift hell, try and do things on the weekends unless you are stuck working those as well. Yea, you will probably have to sleep til noon before you feel like going out to make up for the lack thereof on the other days, but you can get together with friends in the PM. I developed my social circle here when I was still a student years ago and still stay in touch with those people. The other big part of my social circle is the people in the running community. Moscow is big, but the running community is still pretty close and we all know each other. I speak Russian though and am part of a local club, so that does make a difference. I have a few expat friends who are long timers like I am. Other than that, most of my friends are Russians who don't speak English. Your students might share some interests/hobbies with you too and can suggest things going on in town that you might be interested in doing. I know and expat couple who joined a local viking reenactment group and love it. Reutov?! Hello neighbor from across MKAD-I'm at Kuzminki. I used to visit friends across the way in Reutov. It's actually not that far. Even from Kurskaya, it's only 20 min.

Granted, a 8-9 am class followed by an 6-7pm class is pretty rough. As for meeting people, SPB is much more friendly than, say, Moscow. Go to a few night clubs or concerts around time. I met people on dumskaya ulitsa in my university years and also frequented a couple jazz clubs: there's one on shpalernaya ulitsa called jfc which is really cool and also a more low-key spot not far away just off litejny prospekt called krasny lis (red fox). You might also check out cafe-club begemot (hippopotamus) on sadovaya, which has a more "grown-up" crowd. Sure Russian language skillis is a big +, but generally people are very open and friendly to non-russian speaking foreigners. I live in Moscow now, work + study = absolutely no time for a colorful social life. I'm sure you'll manage, even with your dreaded split shifts. BTW I'll be in SPB for new years break, so if you want, pm me and we'll arrange to meet.

I'll certainly sign up on Internations and give Couchsurfing a closer look (I used to write it off before because I have a friend whose flat seems to be a permanent youth hostel!), but I should have been less judgmental. I tried the English Conversation Club once, on a Sunday, but only 4 people were there. I expect this wasn't typical. They used to meet near Sennaya (The Rose cafe, I think.) I'll consider it again. I'm also thinking of taking up a sport with only beginner Russian to help me, so that'll prove interesting. (Fencing, if anyone's interested!) Thanks again.

From our awesome intern, Karma D., from Flushing International High School. See her on our Tumblr and on our I AM THIS LAND story-telling project.
I am a girl from the faraway lost land of Tibet. I ran with my parents, older brother and my small baby brother resting in my mom's warm womb in search of freedom and a better life. I am a girl who struggled to find her own identity especially after knowing my birth country is now a place that cannot be reached or seen. In search of independence and better opportunity, I came to America with very limited English but with great hope. I also carried the blessings of my grandparents from Tibet and the memories of my loved ones from Nepal and India throughout the journey.
My feet landed in this foreign land of liberty in 2006. It took me years to realize that life in New York was no crystal staircase, that there weren't trees and leaves made of money, nor was there the easy independence that my fellow Tibetans and I had been searching for. I struggled every morning to wake up because I wasn't use to the timing, then I would try to get on the yellow bus on time. I made sure my brother and I sat on the front seats, so the other students might not make fun of us. We looked different from them.
For an immigrant like me, whose mom was jobless for three years due to her lack of English, and whose dad worked in a Sushi store for eight years, constantly fearful of not being able to support my two brothers and me, the United States was more struggle than freedom. My life turned 180 degrees. At the age of thirteen, I realized I had to step up and contribute to my family financially, and I've been working ever since.

Michelle Obama Hilariously Breaks Down Why Melania Trump's Inauguration Gift Exchange Appeared So Awkward
The former FLOTUS also explained to Ellen Degeneres how Barack stepped in and saved the day.
NEW YORK – A substantial number of heart doctors — about one in four — say they order medical tests that might not be needed out of fear of getting sued, according to a new study.
Nearly 600 doctors were surveyed for the study to determine how aggressively they treat their patients and whether non-medical issues have influenced their decisions to order invasive heart tests.
Most said they weren't swayed by such things as financial gain or a patient's expectations. But about 24 percent of the doctors said they had recommended the test in the previous year because they were worried about malpractice lawsuits. About 27 percent said they did it because they thought their colleagues would do the test.
Doctors who treated their patients aggressively were more likely to be influenced by malpractice worries or peer pressure than those who weren't as aggressive, the study determined.
The research was done to see whether doctors' attitudes and practices might be contributing to the wide differences in health care use and spending across the country.
"We have known for a long time that where you live has an influence on what kind of health care you get and how much health care you get," said Lee Lucas, lead author of the study and associate director of the Center for Outcomes Research and Evaluation at Maine Medical Center in Portland.
Some of the reasons are known: differences in disease rates, patient preferences and the availability of medical services or hospital beds. And more care isn't necessarily better care, Lucas noted.
For the study, the doctors were asked to recommend tests and treatment for three hypothetical heart patients. Their answers were used to score them on how aggressively they tend to treat patients.
Using Medicare records, the researchers found that doctors with higher scores were more likely to be in the areas with higher spending overall or higher rates for a heart test, although the differences were small.
The doctors were also asked whether other issues had led them to recommend the heart test — called a cardiac catheterization — during which a thin tube is threaded to the heart to check how well it is working and to look for disease.
The researchers suggest that targeting malpractice concerns could help reduce the regional differences.
"We need a way for docs to be less afraid of not ordering a test," said Lucas.
Medical malpractice was part of the health care reform debate, but didn't make it into the recently approved legislation. The new law does include pilot programs for states to explore alternatives to lawsuits.
The study was released Tuesday by the journal Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes.
The results support moving toward more integrated health care, and away from fee-for-service payments, and working on malpractice reforms, said Kenneth Thorpe, a professor of health policy at Emory University in Atlanta.
Lucas said patients can help by not pressuring their doctors to do tests.
"If he says you don't need it, let it go," she said.

Having trouble ESnapping on two intersecting circles, any hints?
Welcome markl,
Just so that we can confirm, is the image below what you are trying to accomplish in progeCAD?
In this case we have two circles drawn, intersecting at tangent. progeCAD 2011 ESNAP had no trouble picking up the inetrsection point, as you can see.
How are your circles intersecting? Are you sure that they are really co-planar?

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – An efficient shooting performance coupled with three players reaching double-digits in scoring helped propel visiting Babson College to a 73-38 victory over MIT in a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) women's basketball game on Saturday. Nicole Wurdeman posted 18 points on 8-of-14 shooting from the floor as the Beavers (9-6, 2-1 NEWMAC) compiled a 48.4 field goal percentage. Clara Yuan and Kristen Whaley both totaled 10 points for the Engineers (4-9, 0-3 NEWMAC).
Babson established a 15-6 lead five minutes into the contest. On MIT's ensuing possession, Yuan hit a jumper and then grabbed a steal which setup a three-pointer by Sally Simpson that trimmed the deficit to four (15-11). The Cardinal and Gray stayed within striking distance for most of the frame despite the Beavers extending their margin to double-digits on three occasions. A pair of free throws by Cheryl Kwinn brought the Engineers within eight (29-21) at the 5:24 mark. Babson responded by closing out the half with a 10-4 run, resulting in a 39-25 advantage at the intermission.
Each side traded baskets to start the second stanza before the Beavers rattled off 17 straight points to take a commanding 58-27 lead with 10:18 on the clock. A free throw by Jamie Simmons ended MIT's nine-minute scoring drought, but it would not be enough to ignite a late rally as Babson maintained control of the game.
Whaley and Kwinn each grabbed six rebounds while Simpson notched seven points. Alice Yeh bolstered the Engineers' attack with six points as Simmons totaled two assists and two steals.
Kathleen King had a solid outing for the Beavers, tallying 14 points, eight rebounds, five assists, and two steals. Becky Bowman registered 15 points, five assists, and three steals while Michelle Kenel contributed nine points and five boards. Kelly McKenna added eight rebounds coming off the bench.
Both squads will continue NEWMAC action at home on Wednesday, Jan. 21. MIT will host WPI while Babson will take on Wellesley College.

lvl 30 - 39
Levels 30 to 39
(because these dungeons fit both 30-34 and 35-39 range for various reasons)
Mt. Skylift: far north-west of Grassroot Town, this is a flying type dungeon, though prepare for bug type moves too.
Info! This is considered as a training dungeon! This means it"s easier than usual to find others wanting to join you on a training run in this dungeon, since there"s consensus this dungeon lets you level up fast. If you go without a party for the first time, being below lvl 35 might be hard but it"s possible.
Upon completion, you obtain HM Fly. With this HM you can take a shortcut to other regions like Winden. You can find a spot to use the move Fly at the north-eastern corner of Grassroot Town.

Info! In the second part, Deep Thunderstorm Forest, there are very rare invisible Dedenne eggs which might sparkle inside walls or in water. (Dedenne might also drop these eggs due to having the ability Pickup, but Dedenne eggs are very rare!)
Requirement! HM Cut.
Tanren Tunnel: Note! you need HM Rock Smash from Sauna Cavern, a level 35-59 dungeon, as well as HM Cut. Tanren Tunnel is far north-east of Grassroot Town, with ground, poison and rock types. This is the connection to the Tanren Region!
Mineral Cavern: Note! you need HM Rock Smash from Sauna Cavern, a level 35-59 dungeon, as well as HM Cut. Mineral Cavern is far west then south of Grassroot Town, with water and ground types.
Info! You can find HM Surf upon completion. There will be two exits. The upper pathway warps you out of the dungeon, while the lower pathway lets you reach a bridge. If you use Surf on the bridge, you reach the South Outpost Island. So bring someone who can learn the move Surf to reach this island!
Recommendation! You could save this dungeon until reaching at least level 45, since if you also beat Southern Sea, a difficult lvl 45-49 dungeon, you unlock a shortcut to South Outpost Island. The shortcut is accessed by using Surf on the bridge close to the entrance to Mineral Cavern.
lvl 35 - 39
Honeydrop Meadow: north of Grassroot Town, mostly bug types but prepare for grass and poison type damage as well.
Info! If you find a secret room and it"s dusk or dawn, you need to use the item Honey to spawn one Pinsir at dusk or one Scyther at dawn,
Requirement! HM Cut.
Sauna Cavern: the dungeon is in Snowbasin Town. You need to find the Winden Town Hall, a rock building at the northern corner of Snowbasin Town, below the Winden Kecleon Shop. Take a ladder to the right in the Town Hall to find Winden Sauna. Types start as varied and transitions to ground, rock and fire.
Requirement! This is where you find HM Rock Smash after beating a tough boss. To compete the dungeon, you need bring someone with this move to proceed to an even more difficult part, Sauna Cavern Depths, where an even greater boss awaits. Also, there may be items in lava. Fire, flying, ghost types and ability Levitate are able to travel on lava (but you may get burned).
Pitch Black Abyss: far north-west of Grassroot Town. This is a set level dungeon, meaning you are set to a certain level temporarily, and you get no exp yield. Your objective in this special dungeon is to find good items.
Restriction! you can"t bring any items.
Requirement! HM Rock Smash from Sauna Cavern.
Crystal Ruins: north of Snowbasin Town in Winden, you can find an ice type dungeon which is actually dangerous for someone under lvl 40. But this is the one of the earlier ways you can recruit a ghost type. Gastly appear starting at floors 11+, recruitable and mostly under level 13. However, if you are detected by Regice, run for your life to the next floor! This dungeon has a second part, Crystal Castle, which is usually too difficult for someone under lvl 40.
Requirement! HM Rock Smash from Sauna Cavern.[/spoiler:2ii5zs9l]
lvl 40 - 49
Levels 40 to 49
Gritty Hollow: far east of Grassroot Town, this dungeon has both very weak and very powerful spawns. The first part (up to floor 13), can be done already at lvl 25-29. However the second part includes high level Snorlax and Excadrill, alongside normal, bug and fighting types. You might want to avoid the Snorlax and Excadrill until reaching lvl 45+.
Recommendation! There are some items and very rare hidden Munchlax eggs in walls. So you might want to bring a ghost type. Alternatively, this dungeon has many Mobile Orbs which temporarily makes the user able to cross walls like a ghost type. Also, there are All Protect Orbs which are very useful for future challenges and Monster Houses. So try stock up on these orbs from this dungeon.
Requirement! HM Cut.
lvl 40 - 44
Gold Training Dojo: the final dungeon in Marowak"s Dojo in Grassroot Town. Varied types including fighting types.
Recommendation! There is a rare change of Cubone eggs in walls on floors 8 to 10, or Meditite eggs in water on floors 11 to 13. So you might want to bring a ghost type.
Beach Bunker: a dungeon in the Tanren Region, located south of Tanren City. The types are varied but mostly water and rock.
Recommendation! You may find reviver seeds behind walls or in water, so bringing a ghost type might be useful.
lvl 45 - 49
Winden Training Dojo (east path): in the Winden Dojo, west of Snowbasin Town, fighting and ice types. Floors 1-14 is more for lvls 35-39. On floor 15, you can take either east or west path. West path is harder than east path. Note! You can also switch to west path on floors 18, 21, 23 and 26. The stairs which point to the right are for continuing on the east path.
Southern Sea: south-east of Grassroot town and you also need to go through Mineral Cavern (a lvl 30-34 dungeon), use HM Surf and reach the South Outpost Island. Southern Sea entrance is on a bridge on the island. Even it it"s a water type dungeon, be prepared for ice type moves along with Goldeen and Seaking with the ability Lightingrod, which nullifies electric moves! In fact, floors 29 to 38 are very challenging and almost for lvls 50-54.
Info! If you beat Southern Sea, you gain access to a shortcut to South Outpost Island. The shortcut means you won"t need to beat Mineral Cavern to reach the island.[/spoiler:2ii5zs9l]
For levels 50+
This is where the guide ends for now! There is a list of dungeons on the PMU wikia: Dungeons. A very rough estimate of what level you could be before attempting to complete a dungeon, is to be at least the max NPC level. For example, On the Happiness Lake site, it should say level range is up to 14. So make an attempt at lvl 15. Going lower leveled than that works too, you decide how challenging it gets!
I also made a somewhat ordered list of dungeons, where I try to guess how the rest of the dungeons can be ordered in difficulty.
About this guide
This guide is intended for someone's first run of PMU dungeons. It covers mainly:
- Which levels you could be for a dungeon
- In which order you could complete dungeons
- Some dungeon-specific information to get more out of an exploration

Question: Will my car insurance policy cover other young drivers, in addition to my daughter, taking turns driving my car during spring break? I'd prefer she isn't stuck driving the long distance on her own.
Continue Reading Below
Answer: This is one of those times when no-frills car insurance policies can come back to haunt you.
While many car insurance policies extend to permissive drivers (those whom you give permission to drive your vehicle), there are restricted policies that are written so that only drivers named on the policy are covered. Insurance companies that offer restricted policies usually do so to give you cheaper rates than you would obtain elsewhere.
If you purchased your policy with restrictions tied to it, then your daughter (who I assume is listed as a driver) may be the only one covered to drive during spring break. (For general guidelines, see "Who can drive your car?")
Your insurance company is always the best source to answer specific questions about coverage and limits -- especially before your daughter leaves town. Even if your policy extends to permissive users of your car, verify that your car insurance policy doesn't have any other restrictions, exclusions or provisions that could affect your daughter (and her friends) when driving during spring break.
Some policies that cover permissive users exclude coverage for drivers under a certain age; others change your coverage limits; and some even increase your deductible.
For example, some auto insurance policies have what is referred to as step-down provisions, allowing the insurer to reduce your liability limits to only the state required minimum limit in certain situations, such as when a driver that is not listed on the policy operates your car.
Remember a car owner can be held liable along with the driver of an accident; thus lower liability limits could put your assets at risk.
Also, some insurance policies will drop down your liability coverage to the minimum liability limits of the state in which you are driving when the insured vehicle is driven out of state. So, if your daughter is driving out of state for spring break, make certain you know what coverages and limits extend out of state to cover her and her friends.
We'd also recommend that before your daughter allows anyone to drive your car that she checks that the driver has a valid license. Some auto insurance policies exclude coverage for unlicensed drivers, and some states will ticket not only the unlicensed driver but also the car owner for allowing an unlicensed driver to operate their vehicle.
When you have a young driver on your car insurance on your policy it's important to shop around to make sure you are getting the best car insurance rates possible. But sometimes the company with the cheapest rate will put restrictions on you that you don't want. Comparison shop now to get a premium you can afford - along with the coverages and limits that you need.

In the neighborhood where Tomas Medrano lived, he was known as a hardworking, churchgoing man who doted on his wife and toddler daughter.
There were elaborate parties, neighbors say, and Medrano bought his wife her own car.
But police investigators say everything about that life was built on a lie.
The reality, detectives contend, is that a decade ago a man named Isidro Garcia drugged and kidnapped a 15-year-old girl, raped her and beat her after failed escapes, moved at least four times to hide her identity under a fake name and, after years of psychological abuse, married her and fathered a child.
Garcia, 41, of Bell Gardens, was arrested Monday after the now-25-year-old woman came forward to police after finding her sister on Facebook.
Garcia was jailed on suspicion of kidnapping for rape, lewd acts with a minor and false imprisonment. He was expected to make a court appearance Thursday.
Meanwhile, his accuser told KABC-TV she felt happy and blessed to reunite with her family. She said her neighbors believed her captor was a good man because he worked hard.
"He worked hard for me and my daughter and he bought everything I want. But I didn't want that," she said with her mother, sister and daughter at her side. "I need love from my family, not things."
KABC-TV didn't identify the woman because is a victim of sexual abuse. The station had interviewed the woman's mother when she went missing 10 years ago.
In the Los Angeles suburb of Bell Gardens — 20 miles from where the girl originally vanished — stunned neighbors found the woman's portrait of Garcia hard to reconcile with the man they knew.
"He treats her like a queen. He does his best to do whatever she wants," next-door neighbor Maria Sanchez said in Spanish on Wednesday after police announced Garcia's arrest.
Santa Ana police Cpl. Anthony Bertagna said his department's investigation concluded the following:
The girl — whose name was withheld by police — arrived from Mexico in February 2004 to join her mother and sister in Santa Ana, about 30 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles. She had entered the United States illegally and spoke no English.
Garcia was her mother's boyfriend. After one fight between the girl's mother and Garcia in August 2004, the girl's mother left the house and the girl went to a nearby park.
Garcia followed the girl. When he caught up with her, she said she had a headache and wanted to go home.
Garcia began threatening the girl.
"He told her then, 'You can't go home. You're here illegally, you don't speak the language, your mom's called the police, they will send you back. I'm your only hope,'" Bertagna said.
Garcia gave her five pills that he said would help her headache but instead knocked her out. When the girl awoke, she was locked in a garage in Compton, a city between Santa Ana and Los Angeles.
The mother "filed a police report and for 10 years (police) did due diligence. But they were changing their names and dates of birth and physical locations so that made it exceedingly difficult," Bertagna said.
In 2007, Garcia got documents from Mexico that gave the girl a new name and date of birth. Using those documents, he married her at a courthouse. Police said their daughter was born in 2012.
Police said the woman tried to escape twice but was severely beaten.
The case comes just over a year after kidnapping and rape victims Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight, three women who had gone missing separately about a decade earlier while in their teens or early 20s, were rescued from a house in Cleveland.
Elizabeth Smart, who was kidnapped from her Utah bedroom at 14 and held captive for nine months, told The Associated Press that people cannot know what victims are going through and should not question why the woman didn't escape sooner.
"We don't know what these evil people are holding over them — whether it's their families' lives, their lives, whatever it is," Smart said.
Garcia lived in Bell Gardens for about four years. The family had the second-floor corner unit of a stucco apartment building in a quiet working-class neighborhood across from a park.
Neighbors said Garcia always said hello, joked with neighbors and sometimes brought them fruit. His wife worked for a nearby janitorial service and he held at least two jobs — including one making egg rolls — and also collected cardboard and recyclable items to sell.
Garcia said he wanted to save money so that his wife didn't have to work, said Lourdes Hernandez, who babysat their child for a year.
The family threw elaborate parties that included costumed characters and raffle giveaways. A video shot at their daughter's birthday party last year shows the mother with the girl in her arms, line-dancing behind her husband as he wiggles his hips.
Hernandez said the woman took Zumba classes in South Los Angeles and sometimes invited her along.
She said she found the woman's story hard to believe.
"He worked hard for her," she said.
Maria Sanchez said the woman had her own car.
"Sometimes she just leaves with her daughter in the car, she never looked scared," she said.
Neighbors said the family took trips together to Disneyland and the beach, and even up north to visit Garcia's family.
"I'm astounded she waited so long to say something," said Rita Salazar.
Police said Garcia repeatedly told the victim her family had given up looking for her.
Only recently, she contacted her sister on Facebook on the woman's birthday and they started to communicate, police said. She also learned that her mother had indeed tried to find her, going to a Spanish-language television station and newspaper in 2004.
Small gifts of kindness from a captor, a bit of food, a trip to the bathroom, can create positive feelings within the victim, said Dr. Frank Ochberg, an expert on the psychology of captives.
"Someone takes away the fear, the isolation, and we have positive feelings," he said. "That could be the beginning of a trauma bond."

Press service of the Russian Federal Penitentiary Service for the Republic of Komi via AP
Guards patrolling a prison colony in Russia's north saw a cat scaling the fence and noticed something a little fishy, The Associated Press reports.
On closer inspection, they found several cellphones and chargers taped to the animal's belly.
The feline's clandestine mission took place at Penal Colony No. 1 in Komi province, some 600 miles northeast of Moscow.
But was it a copycat crime? Last December, a Brazilian kitty was caught delivering contraband to inmates at a Brazilian prison.
The fate of the Russian cat is unknown, according to The Moscow Times.

Mel Gibson has broken his silence over those incendiary audio tapes, saying, "It's one terribly awful moment in time, said to one person in the span of one day, and doesn't represent what I truly believe or how I've treated people my entire life."
In the wide-ranging interview with deadlinehollywood.com, Mel says, "I've never treated anyone badly or in a discriminatory way based on their gender, race, religion or sexuality."
Mel shrugs off the torrent of criticism over the tapes, which he claims "have been edited," saying "I don't blame some people for thinking [I'm bigoted] though, from all the garbage they heard on those leaked tapes."
Mel also talks about the TMZ story in 2006, in which we published 4 pages of the arrest report which detail his anti-Semitic rant. As we reported, at the time of the arrest, Mel felt the incident would be the last straw in his marriage. Turns out it was true. Mel tells "Deadline" he and his wife separated the day after the arrest.
Mel is mum on his battle with Oksana Grigorieva, but, as we first reported, says he pled no contest in the criminal case so he wouldn't drag his family through the mud.
The well-done interview also goes into great detail about Mel's new movie, "The Beaver," which some critics say is Mel's best performance ever. The movie opens next month.

Perhaps no farm in the United States made a more vidionary commitment to World Champion Stallion Al Adeed Al Shaqab than Lyday Farms of Honey Grove, Texas. Lyday Farms dedicated several of their finest mares to Al Adeed shortly after his arrival in the US from Al Shaqab of Doha, Qatar. The quality of foals that resulted early on prompted Lyday to continue to choose Al Adeed for many of their best mares, with excellent results. With the arrival of one last Al Adeed foal due in 2011. Lyday Farms will have produced a total of eleven foals by the "Prince of Qatar".
The *Magidaa Descendants:
LF Asil Ibn Al Adeed was the first Al Adeed foal bred by Lyday Farms, foaled in July 2007. Asil is the result of a particularly interesting cross. Asil's dam Asila Al Shaqab was also bred by H.H. Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al- Thani of Al Shaqab is by PVA Kariim, and descends from the Abbeyan Om Jurays dam line through world famous mare *Magidaa.
Like most of Lyday's Al Adeed foals, Asil is a smooth bodied horse with good legs, a good hip, and a nicely set on neck. Relatively show-maturing, Asil gets much better each year. He is a bold, charismatic stallion with good tail carriage.
Lyday Farms rebred Asil's dam Asila Al Shaqab to Al Adeed in 2007, and again in 2008. In the corresponding foaling years, Asila Al Shaqab produced two full sisters to Asil. Asila Al Shaqab, her 2008 filly LF Aliah Bint Adeed, and Asila's 2009 in utero foal were subsequently sold and exported to Italy.
Early in 2009, Asila Al Shaqab's daughter LF Majik Star, by Marquis I, foaled LF Al Saher. Al Saher is a 3/4 brother to Asil and Aliah. Also a *Magidaa tail female descendant, he is a particularly refined, long legged colt with very good length of neck.
Al Saher is a well balanced two year old who promises to be a stallion of excellent type and quality. Although he is a bit more reflective of the Gleannloch breeding program than Asil, Like Asil his body, hip, and overall conformation leave no doubt he is a son of Al Adeed.
The Yosreia Descendants Through Shahrzada:
A total of three very special pure in the strain Hadban Enzahi foals were born at Lyday Farms in 2008 and 2010. All three descend from Lyday's foundation mare TF Shardali, tail female to the EAO bred mare *Serenity Shahra, out of Shahrzada (full sister to the immortal Aswan), out of Yosreia. "Shahrzada... produced the two lovely mares Serenity Sabra (by Sameh) and Serenity Shahra (by Anter), exported to Canada (and eventually incorporated [into] the Imperial broodmare band) where their stock has percolated back throughout the world." Consequently, Egypt is the only source of the Hadban Enzahi strain.
Of note, both Lyday's TF Shardali and Al Shaqab's Al Adeed Al Shaqab owe their excellent and influential maternal granddams to Imperial Egyptian Stud. The former resulted from Imperial's insightful selection of *Serenity Shahra, bred by the EAO and crossed with Ansata Imperial to produce Imperial Sharah, and the latter resulted from Imperial's choice of *Malekat El Gamal, bred by Sayed Marei of Albadeia Stud of Egypt and crossed with Kayed to produce *Imperial Sayyah.
TF Shardali by Imperial Imdal, and her 2000 daughter Thee Makers Rose lie at the heart of the Lyday Farms breeding program. TF Shardali is a powerfully moving, very good bodied, showy mare. At the age of 18 Shardali still has a strong back and lots of attitude. She has a well shaped neck with a clean throatlatch, and large dark eyes. Shardali's daughter Thee Makers Rose is an ultra refined, very feminine, beautiful mare.
In May 2008 Thee Makers Rose produced LF Antar Ibn Adeed, by Al Adeed. Antar is a typey and substantial dark rose-grey colt with tippy ears, a beautiful Al Adeed/Shardali hip, a super laid back shoulder, and an admirable disposition. "[The Hadban Enzahi] proves to be the linch pin behind the unusually high number of good sires within Egyptian bloodlines... and yet a quick 'recce' of the stallions produced by the numerically small family says it all."
In 2010, a wonderful course of events brought Lyday four more Al Adeed foals, influding two out of their very special foundation mare TF Shardali. Born only a day apart, TF Shardali's newest foals are LF Sharif, a grey colt born on April 29th, and LF Sharifah, a bay filly born on April 30th. The siblings are predictably good bodied and balanced. The nearly-solid bay filly Sharifah continues to get more refined each passing month, while she maintains her shy yet curious demeanor.
The Treasure...:
The last two Al Adeed foals born at Lyday Farms in 2010 left little room for disappiontment. LF Rakizah, meaning 'treasure', is a brave and exuberant ruby red filly born on May 14th. Her dam Tammens Treasure is a lovely Tammen daughter, on lease to Lyday Farms from Eastern Star Arabians. Mare and foal descend in their dam line from Henry Babson's bay Dahman Shahwaniah mare Bint Bint Sabbah, bred by the Roal Agricultural Society of Egypt. LF Rakizah inherited the good body Lyday expected from her grandsire Tammen, and her sire Al Adeed, along with an upright, well shaped neck and fine tapered muzzle. Like a newly kindled flame, the bright bold LF Rakizah seemed to know she was a treasure from the start.
...And The Star:
On June 6th, the Kuhaylan Rodaniah mare Tahanie gave birth to a small, large eyed, strikingly beautiful grey colt. The colt was named LF Tali, meaning "rising star", and he is not the first star produced by Tahanie. Tahanie's 2006 filly Bint Tahanie won the tough 2010 Egyptian Event Extended Specialty Four Year-old Mare class. To her credit, Bint Tahanie edged out DeShazer Arabian's super 2008 Egyptian Even Junior Champion Mare DeSha Indeed, who came in second. Also of note, LF Tali and DeSha Indeed are both sired by Al Adeed Al Shaqab, and descend in their dam lines to Bint Rissala.
LF Tali's dam Tahanie is by Ibn Morafin, out of a *Talal daughter, and again out of an Ibn Morafic daughter. Tahanie inherited the large, dark, ethereal eyes of *Talal, which she in turn passed on to LF Tali, along with a tiny muzzle. Aside from having a pedigree of dreams, LF Tali is perhaps the most refined of Lyday's Al Adeed colts so far. LF Tali was born with a quiet, confident, almost timeless perception of the world around him. He possesses something beyond words, and one who understands the true nature of the straight Egyptian horse cannot help but love Tahanie's young colt.
In 2011, Lyday is expecting one last foal by Al Adeed, out of the exceptionally well bred mare EAI Maadeena, by Imperial Madheen. Qatari breeders have commented on the success of the Al Adeed/ Imperial Madheen cross, and Lyday puts their faith in Maadeena's foal being no exception!
The history of Lyday Farms dates back to the 1830's when cotton was 'king' and livestock were commonly seen throughout the landscape. Located in the rural east Texas countryside, the original 50 acre homestead has belonged to Sandra Lyday Fernandes' family for several generations.
Owners Gary and Sandra Fernandes became intensely interested in horses as their other business interests wound down and their desire increased to create a lasting legacy for their children and grandchildren. It wasn't long before the goals fo Lyday Farms' first class Egyptian Arabian breeding program were defined.
Gary and Sandra added over 1,200 additional acres to the original plot as well as the finest equine facilities, including state of the art barns, training equipment, and carefully maintained pastures. Lyday Farm's family has been hard at work continuing to build a world-class breeding program. A new barn with boarding and training facilities was added in 2003, and an additional 15 stalls are planned for construction in the training barn this fall.
Under the expert guidance of head trainer and manager Bryan Jeffries, and breeding manager Melinda Jeffries, they are now seeing the fruits of their labors in their eighth foal crop. "Quality in our operations is formost and is an integral part of both our breeding and training program," states Gary. In many ways the history of Lyday Farms is still in the making. "Our history will be determined by what we do every day," he continues. "I'm sure that the initial momentum we've worked hard to create will continue to build as we move forward together with this wonderful breed."

The rice industry has recognized Dr. M.O. 'Mo' Way for his dedication in 22 years of rice entomology research and Extension work at the Texas A&M University System Agricultural Research and Extension Center in Beaumont.
Way received the 2004 Rice Industry Award at the Rice Outlook Conference recently in New Orleans.
When the award was announced, participants at the conference gave Way a roaring applause.
Dr. James Stansel was resident director at the Beaumont center when Way was hired in 1982, and he was immediately impressed with Way's strong work ethic.
"Because of his dedication and productivity, he is one of the most respected scientists and Extension personnel in the Rice Belt," Stansel said. "He has a true passion to help farmers."
According to Way, his resolve to help farmers has grown over time.
"The more I have worked in the rice industry, the more my commitment has grown," he said. "You get to know the farmers, consultants, industry people, USDA officials and fellow scientists on a personal basis. Because of my Extension duties, I have a direct involvement with the industry, and that gives me concrete goals and direction. You know what you are doing has significance and can really be of benefit."
Way's responsibilities include developing integrated pest management programs for rice as well as soybeans.
Way's innovative work helped prolong the use of the chemical carbofuran for rice water weevil control.
"His efforts, along with other rice entomologists, paid off because the Environmental Protection Agency allowed U.S. rice farmers to use granular carbofuran for an additional two years until a suitable control alternative was available," Stansel said. "Meanwhile, he conducted research that sought biological and other alternatives to carbofuran. Data generated from these studies helped convince the EPA to register Karate Z and Icon as the first replacements and then Dimilin, Fury, Mustang Max and Prolex."
Way is quick to share credit for these achievements, saying, "I've been fortunate in having a great staff of technical, clerical and administrative support. Without them, there wouldn't have been all the achievements. The people I work with are just wonderful, and dedicated to helping farmers."
Way has served on the USA Rice Federation's Environmental Affairs sub-committee since 1996. He was chairman or board member of the Rice Technical Working Group from 1994 to 1998. He is past president of the Texas Plant Protection Association and past chairman of S-300, a multi-state regional project dealing with rice insect pests.
Way is known for his frequent on-site visits to farmers' fields as well as the assistance he gives to farmers, consultants and Extension colleagues.
Some of his current research includes developing rice stem borer control. In addition, he and a graduate student are researching an easier and more accurate sampling method for the rice stinkbug. Also, Way is looking at pest pressure on rice grown under conservation tillage.
Way worked with other commodities in California while earning his entomology degrees before moving to Beaumont. He grew up at Bakersfield and earned three entomology degrees, including his doctorate, from the University of California at Davis.
"Way is a leader in his field in terms of interpersonal skills," Stansel said. "He is very effective at extending his knowledge, expertise and experience to other scientists, Extension personnel, producers and the public."

Markham-Waterloo Mennonite Conference
The Markham-Waterloo Mennonite Conference (popularly known as the Waterloo-Markham Conference) of Old Order Mennonites traces its beginnings back to 1931, when the Old Order (Wisler) Mennonites at Markham and Rainham, Ontario were disassociated from the Ontario Old Order Mennonite Conference for permitting car ownership, telephones, and English language church services. In 1939 a large group in the Waterloo County withdrew from the Ontario Old Order Mennonite Conference over the same issues and joined the Markham church to form the Markham-Waterloo Mennonite Conference.
In the late 1950s they used the same meetinghouses as the Old Order at Martins (St. Jacobs), in North Woolwich (Floradale), and in West Woolwich (Elmira). They had purchased the Goshen church in Peel Township and had built a new church in East Woolwich near West Montrose. Their bishop was Amsey M. Martin for the Waterloo section, with ministers Urias Martin, Noah B. Martin, Ira S. Brubacher, and George Brubacher. In the Markham section they worshiped at Altona, Almira, and the Reesor church, with Bishop Abram Smith and ministers Fred Nighswander and Cecil Reesor. They had a few members at Rainham and at Zurich. This conference took an active part in the relief program and the peace testimony and had an awakening interest in evangelism and in missions.
In 1957 there were 638 members, of whom 530 were in Waterloo County in two major congregations, 105 in Markham in two major congregations, and three at Rainham. In 1993 the total number of members was 1,106 with 11 congregations.

NPX??? Hello? Where are you?
I've tried to e-mail you via your home page three times last year but I haven't heard NOTHING back.
My issue:
I bought a NPX Lucifer. First time I used it I noticed I was getting wet, saw that the fabric had de-laminated.
Went back to the shop but the shop had caught fire and existed no more.
E-mailed you (NPX) for advice.
Still haven't heard anything from you.
Still getting wet.
I'm pretty sure at least someone who is involved with NPX reads this forum so please get in touch with me. Either here or at email@example.com.
Regards Robin.
I'm located in Sweden, Europe. (Not Switzerland, they're famous for cheese, knives and watches. Sweden is famous for polar bears which we don't have anyway.)

Earlier this year, Windows 8 was launched with great expectations. Microsoft banked on it to be a game-changer both for the tablet world as well as the desktop computer world. According to Redmond, the latest iteration of the most popular operating system in the world is a bridge between the tablet and the desktop. With a sleek, redesigned, and touch-friendly interface, Windows 8 was all set to become yet another milestone for Microsoft.
However, Steve Ballmer's expectations were crushed when the early reviews didn't turn out to be that good. Windows 8, along with its contentious Metro interface, was criticized for its lack of usability and confusing design. Many users posted videos of their friends and family having a hard time figuring out how to use the software. In fact, the dramatic departure from the familiar Start-button oriented user interface has irked many users.
So, what does this mean for Microsoft? Are their glory days over? But more than Microsoft, what does this mean for its desktop competitors like Linux, Mac OS X, and perhaps Google Chrome OS? Do they have a golden chance against the mighty giant? We don't know about Mac OS X but Linux, well, it certainly does. In fact, it won't be a mistake to say that Windows 8's lukewarm reception is a great opportunity for Linux to make its presence felt.
What's wrong with Windows 8?
The most popular reason for sticking with Windows and not switching to any other operating system is that of familiarity. For years, the start button, the menus and the desktop have been synonymous with the computer itself. In fact, earlier versions of Linux were designed so that it would be easier for Windows users to switch to the penguin side. Moreover, many distributions still exist that showcase the Windows-like familiarity to the user. In short, the traditional Windows interface that lasted and evolved from Windows XP to Windows 7 is already implanted in many desktop users.
Windows 8 is a huge departure from that familiarity. The tiled UI, the touch-friendly design and the absence of Start menu makes Windows 8 an entirely different product. Of course, Microsoft does allow users to switch back to the Start button-oriented menu, but the main focus of the product remains the Metro interface. This has definitely annoyed a lot of users. And these are the same users who stuck with Microsoft for its familiarity.
So, what's in it for Linux?
While Windows 8 continues to be criticized by different reviews and users alike, Linux can bank on this opportunity to gain the upper hand in the game. There will definitely be many Windows users who will be looking for alternatives. Some of them, in fact, many of them, wouldn't want to spend so much money on an Apple computer. They'll start looking for alternatives that fit into their budget and are reliable.
But the brave new world of Linux is daunting for many
Yes, I agree. But with the Windows 8 Metro disaster, Linux lovers can rest assured that Redmond has leveled the playing field. If you compare Windows 8 to Linux Mint or Ubuntu, you'll definitely find the latter to be way better. Ubuntu is already gaining a lot of recognition and is getting better and better each day. Their UI is much refined, mature and can be readily used by any new user.
Hmm...but Microsoft already rules the desktop world!
Yes it does. It has a huge empire that cannot be easily shaken by Linux or even Mac OS X. However, if you start slow, you'll discover that it is quite easier to dominate the market than it was before. Windows 8 is a cross between tablets and desktops. Well, so is Ubuntu. Ubuntu can be used on desktop, tablets, and wait, now there is Ubuntu for Android as well. So, it isn't that easy to rule out the possibility of Ubuntu or Linux in general giving Microsoft a tough time.
What Windows 8 has done is that it has made it easier for Linux to prove to the desktop users that there is a beautiful world out there without windows. If you aren't convinced already, it's time you try out Windows 8 yourself, and then compare it to beginner-friendly Linux distributions like Ubuntu and Linux Mint.

Earlier this week, an image of Sony's upcoming ST25i "Kumquat" smartphone leaked onto the Internet. The Android-powered device is rumored to feature a 3.5-inch qHD display with a 1GHZ dual-core processor and 5-megapixel rear camera. It is also rumored that the handset will debut at next month's Mobile World Congress in Spain. According to a document found on the website of Indonesia's telecom authority (similar to our FCC), the ST25i Kumquat is listed as the "Sony Ericsson Xperia U" — although by the time it is officially unveiled, it will likely drop the Ericsson label and be known simply as the Sony Xperia U.

The World Harness Handicapping Championship (WHHC) is the partnership between the Meadowlands and the United States Trotting Association formed to create the industry's ultimate tournament experience. Standardbred Canada supports the project by facilitating the participation of Canadian racing and wagering outlets.
Limited to just 100 spots, the WHHC is a one-day tournament, with a welcome reception and warm-up event the evening prior. Players may earn a seat in the WHHC through a qualifying event at a partner wagering outlet or through direct buy-in ($1000) should enough spots remain as of April 1, 2013.
In addition to the Meadowlands, eleven racetracks and wagering outlets are conducting WHHC qualifiers including: Balmoral Park, Maywood Park, Cal Expo, The Meadows, Twinspires.com, Northville Downs, Buffalo Raceway, Isle Casino Racing Pompano Park, Yonkers Raceway, Woodbine, and Northfield Park. A complete list of participating outlets and qualifier dates can be found here.
Also, the USTA, in conjunction with HorseTourneys.com, will conduct a free, on-line, qualifying series of 10 tournaments on Friday and Saturday nights for five consecutive weekends during January and February that will feature 10 different USTA member tracks. The winner of each qualifier gains a berth ($1,000 value) into the WHHC final at the Meadowlands.
