All we hear is we need to raise the debt ceiling or the government will shut down, unable to pay bills.
According to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, there is nothing else to cut. But if they did a line-by-line cut I am sure that there would be billions that could be cut from the federal budget. Instead, they keep saying the Republicans want to hurt the military, the elderly and children.
The House has passed a bill that funds everything but defunds ObamaCare. The Senate rejected it.
We vote for representatives so that they will do what we want. We the people expect them to work for us, but instead they work for themselves and do what will help their political careers. ObamaCare is one of the worst laws ever passed.Instead of helping us, it's causing layoffs, reduced work hours, and companies refusing to hire additional employees. Health costs are already soaring.
The president's promises about the health care law are being broken. He said if you like your health care and doctor, you can keep them. He said your premium will go down. I have yet to hear of anyone whose premium has gone down. Companies already are preparing for the law by reducing the number of employees to below 50 and cutting hours below 30 hours.
There have been many exemptions made. One waiver that should enrage everyone is that of federal workers including Congress. Why should they get a waiver? Why can they not live under the law that they passed? Even labor unions are not happy. They have indicated the health care bill is making coverage unaffordable. They also have said that this could be the end of the 40-hour work week.
If federal employees and large corporations are getting subsidies, why are we not getting them also? If Congress, its staffers and other federal employees cannot afford to pay the premiums, how can we? The people that this law was supposedly to help will be hurt the most. The House of Representatives has voted to defund the law. The Senate rejected it; Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid called it "dead on arrival."
Instead of doing what is best for the country, the Senate again voted for themselves. If they had to be covered by this health care bill, you can bet that they would get rid of it. Sen. Rand Paul has proposed that all federal employees be covered by the plan. It is time that our representatives truly represent us and not themselves.

Regular readers are probably wondering why we haven't had a whole lot to say about Children of America, the day care center that is currently transforming the former Borders Books at 8701 Germantown Ave.
Representatives came to a meeting of the Chestnut Hill Community Association's Development Review Committee in February to discuss their plans and take questions. The company's representatives praised the neighborhood and said they were delighted to open their 9th Pennsylvanuia location here.
"We're a long-term neighbor – we want to be a good neighbor," said Benjamin Parks, the project manager responsible for getting the Chestnut Hill location up and running.
But since that meeting, the organization has been quiet. They haven't been in touch with the CHCA since then.
The CHCA was hoping for information from Children of America regarding parking and traffic. They particularly wanted to know how parents would be able to drop off and pick up the 226 children the day care said it could handle without snarling traffic at what is already a pretty busy intersection. The CHCA also would like to know where the daycare's staff is planning to park.
In an email to Newsworks contributor Jana Shea that was forwarded to a number of CHCA board members (and yours truly), Children of America COO Jim Perretty makes it pretty clear that Children of America is not interested in providing answers to the CHCA's questions.
Perretty writes that he wants to be a good neighbor and that he's open to discussions with the community however, he makes it clear, that Children of America is not terribly interested in working out traffic issues with the CHCA.
"This is not a situation involving a large scale development project that would require or warrant investigating or addressing the information being requested," Perretty wrote. "Our use is permitted as a matter of right under the Philadelphia Zoning Code. We did not secure the Permit; the owner did."
He writes on:
"It is our understanding that much of the operational and design information that is being requested was not required by the City to secure the Zoning Permit, or operate our business, in this existing building. Nowhere in the Zoning Code, other than for garages in Center City, is a traffic study required for any use, much less a daycare.
"We have no traffic studies to provide to the Committee, and never intended to conduct any. However, we are open to discuss any impacts there may be that we may have contributed to, with the Committee once we are operational."
So the door is open to talk with the CHCA's commitees, but only – read that last quoted paragraph – "once we are operational."
I'm not of the opinion that Children of America is a bad business. And I'm not even prepared to say that's it's a bad fit for that property. But Perretty's words here are an example of what might be a pretty troubling proposition for the Chestnut Hill Community Association.
And it should be troubling to the neighborhood's residents, too.
The strength of the CHCA's zoning process has always been its influence in the process of the zoning variance. When businesses need a special variance, permission to do something outside of the scope normal zoning for a property allows, they are required by the city to solicit the neighborhood for input, and hopefully, the neighborhood's endorsement.
But any business that does not need a variance from the city has virtually no motivation to play ball with the CHCA, essentially making it much more difficult for anyone in the community to have a say in the development.
This isn't a problem for the CHCA. It's a problem for everyone in Chestnut Hill and the rest of Philadelphia. It illustrates the fact that there are times when zoning is completely beyond the control of local residents. Anyone concerned about traffic or parking as far as it concerns Children of America will have to take it up downtown with a government that's not necessarily tuned to the community's needs.
For any business, there's no need to really be a good neighbor.

The employment situation for the supervisors in Pocono Township is, to say the least, muddled.
The employment situation for the supervisors in Pocono Township is, to say the least, muddled.
Supervisor Henry Bengel is thwarting pleas and petitions from frustrated residents to resign from his new position of township "roadmaster," a change in verbiage from the initial title of "director of public works."
Supervisor Harold Werkheiser is out of the roadmaster position, but may have worked out an agreement to stay with the department — even though township officials don't necessarily believe that's true.
And in another twist, Werkheiser has requested to be compensated as a full-time employee, with benefits, for his appointed position of assistant secretary/treasurer.
To top it all off, none of them, including Supervisor Frank Hess as the secretary/treasurer, are getting paid, and they likely won't be until at least February.
"It's a mess," Hess said after Wednesday night's often-heated, cut-short township meeting that was punctuated by swearing and finger-pointing. "But it's in the hands of the lawyers now, we can't do anything about it."
Bengel, though he admittedly has limited to no experience mechanically or on a road crew, was nominated for the position earlier this month by Hess.
Bengel was then approved when he voted for himself.
Since that appointment, however, none of the three supervisors are being paid for their township positions because the Board of Auditors, which sets salaries of supervisors in township positions, hasn't set the amounts yet.
Normally the auditors meet in the first or second week of the year and don't meet again until the next year.
But this year, Scotrun lawyer Jennifer Wise, who is advising Werkheiser, requested that he be paid as a full-time employee for his appointed position of assistant secretary/treasurer.
The argument, according to Wise's letter to the auditors, is that when Hess held the position in 2011, he was paid $37,000 a year with benefits.
Bengel held the position in 2012, but did not request a full-time position.
Hess said the auditors will meet at 5 p.m. Monday, but likely it only will be to hire a lawyer. That would likely mean there won't be a decision on salaries until at least February.
Solicitor Jeffrey Durney said there likely would be retroactive pay when the auditors do set the salaries.
Bengel initially said he would be requesting $72,000, which he said was less than what it cost the township to compensate Werkheiser when benefits were taken into account.
Hess said Wednesday Werkheiser made $52,000 a year, plus benefits, which Bengel said cost the township $76,000 a year.
However, Bengel said he is cutting his salary request to $56,000.
That didn't stop angry residents from asking the township to reconsider the vote that put Bengel into his position, or for him to just flat-out resign.
A petition with about 200 names on it was given to supervisors Wednesday asking them to reconsider that Jan. 7 vote, but it never happened.
Some residents, many of whom said they supported Bengel in his write-in supervisor campaign in 2011, said he needs to step back and recognize the mistake he made.
"There are a fair number of people here that supported you that are upset that this particular thing went the way it did," said Christine Harvell of Tannersville. "We're human, we all are. We make mistakes. There's nothing wrong with stepping back and saying, 'I made a mistake.' There's no shame in it."
And the 200 names on the petition could have been greater, but Diane Zweifel, one of the residents who had been circulating it, said some people were apprehensive about signing.
"People wanted to sign it, but told us they were up for a permit or township approval this year and didn't want to anger the supervisors," she said. "They thought they'd have a bull's-eye on their backs."
Wednesday's meeting resembled controlled chaos until after about two hours, when full-fledged chaos nearly broke out.
When one of Bengel's daughters was in the middle of talking publicly about her father, a woman who did not identify herself — par for the course from Wednesday's speakers — interrupted and criticized Bengel for using his daughter as a "prop."
That led to cursing, name-calling and an end to the meeting.

Non-Ford Oil Causing Engine Noise?

Non-Ford Oil Causing Engine Noise?
Kai123 posted a topic in Ford Fiesta ClubHey forum. I have a super noisey engine which has caused me concern. One guy on this forum said some Fiestas will sound like sewing machines, which I could deal with and left it at that. A friends dad who owns a garage had a listen to it a few days ago, and was going to ask a Ford Technician if the oil for the Fiesta is proprietary, and that the noise was caused by a non-Ford generic oil in the engine. He was suppose to get back to me but never did (I think i gave the wrong number). Anyone shed any light on this? Its 110 euro for a small service and computer update at my local Ford, and it would be money well spend if I could reduce the noise and at least to the point that I might hear any other issues with it. Kai.

Fairly New Fiesta Giving Grief (Few Problems With It!)
Kai123 replied to Kai123's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubI've been trying to think of a word to describe it but a sewing machine is spot on! Thanks Jimrex and everyone else whos chipped in on this thread.
Fairly New Fiesta Giving Grief (Few Problems With It!)
Kai123 replied to Kai123's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubI took a video on my phone trying to get the noise but forgot about it. If I can hear it on the video I will upload it. I have been listening to other Fiestas and they make the same noise. It must be normal ware and tare. Still dont like it though after a year of near silence from the engine, but I think its normal.

Fairly New Fiesta Giving Grief (Few Problems With It!)
Kai123 replied to Kai123's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubWe had the last service in Altas. Some branches around Dublin are highly recommended but never really heard anything about the one local to me (Blanchardstown).
Fairly New Fiesta Giving Grief (Few Problems With It!)
Kai123 replied to Kai123's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubThanks for the replies! I got the tires tracked and it fixed the loose steering. The loose nuts were actually caps to make the nuts look pretty (the mechanic sighed in relief, lol). The engine noise is fairly prominient, but guess when its not! When a mechanic is looking at it. I had shown a mechanic before and he said he would investigate but told me after the service that its fine. This mechanic told me he would hear if something was wrong inside the engine. The tapping noise thats slightly more audioble over the engine noise was the cambelt. He said he could replace it for me and it would fix the noise, but there was actually nothing wrong with it. Maybe I have the new-car syndrome. My only ever car before this was a old Nissan Mirca and compaired to the brand new Fiesta, it was a dream. I would feel much better if I knew what oil they were using but since the car was only serviced last month, I think I might wait. Next time I might buy my own oil and filter and find a rural mechanic to do it for me. If the noise gets worst (the engine noise, not the cambelt) I will try and get a video of it and upload it here. Thank you for the replies. Kai.
Fairly New Fiesta Giving Grief (Few Problems With It!)
Kai123 posted a topic in Ford Fiesta ClubHello forum. Me and the wife bought a new Ford Feista (style) in 2012, brand new. We got a good deal on the scrappage scheme trading in our old 01 Nissan Micra. The Micra was falling apart. The main attraction to having the new car was to look after it and make it last for years and have a hassle free car. We have had the car for two years now and it only has 14k kilometers on the clock. There is a sound coming from the engine, like a spitting, splurting noise. If you rev the engine it drowns out the noise, you can only hear it on idle. One mechanic said maybe a cap inside the engine was loose but its a big deal to try and investigate it (this was before a full service. Afterwards they said the car is in perfect condition). Secondly, and only in the last 4 months we can feel so much more on the road. The tires are good and I mentioned this to the mechanic but said they found nothing. I dont know if its down to age or not or the fact we had it brand new and now its beginning to get a few quirks. Lastly, and only this week...the steering is very loose. It gets better after we fill the tank, but its very odd. Today the wheel is vibrating very, very slightly. The car is 2 years old this month, and 14k kilometers. Should It have these kind of issues? Is it because we got it so new, that we will only ever really notice negative wear and tear over time? We cant afford anything major on the car and thats our biggest concern. It got the full service last month, but im tempted to getting them to replace the oil with the castrol 5w30 oil (on the recipe the oil is only named as "classic"). Any ideas to any of these issues? I plan on taking it down to the garage next week and it would be great to be armed with a bit of knowledge so I know what im asking/what they are saying. Kai.

At which point Windows forcibly closes the program and gives an error window saying that the program forced an EAccessViolation error at 001ABEFE.
I did a cursory search of the forums to try and find the source of the error but was unable to. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Edit: After a third reboot, starting the control panel first before starting Chrome to browse for help seems to have fixed the problem. I'm not quite sure how Chrome threw a wrench in things, but it did.

A referee officiating an adult-league soccer match in Michigan died today after one player allegedly punched him in the head Sunday.
According to a witness at the game who talked to the Detroit Free Press, 44-year-old John Bieniewicz was about to eject Baseel Abdul-Amir Saad from the match when Saad hit him in the head. Bieniewicz was looking down when Saad hit him and was knocked unconscious. Saad then got in his car and drove away; players at the game wrote down his license plate number and a description of his vehicle.
Saad surrendered to authorities on Monday and was charged with assault with intent to do great bodily harm, though prosecutors will likely review that charge in wake of Bieniewicz's death. Saad and his lawyer maintain that he is not guilty.

After Christmas we had lots of family around and it gave me some good time to relax and get a lot of sewing done. One of the first things I did was make myself a case for my new iPad.
I used fabrics I had in my stash. They are:
Mustard - Love Birds by Michael Miller and the two that look like little flowers in the wind are pieces from an Umbrella Prints Trimmings Pack.
Blues - Bright Sky Dot, Bright Sky Twiggy and and Bright Sky Tiny Deer, all from Oh Deer! by Momo for Moda.
Grey - small dot and large dot, both from an Umbrella Prints trimmings pack.
I decided the back didn't need to be another qayg panel, so I just quilted a piece of the Bright Sky Twiggy fabric, which I love.
I used the fabulous iPad case tutorial by One Shabby Chick. It is a really great tutorial which I used last year when I made a cover for my sister for her birthday.
It fits perfectly both with and without the protective case I have on the iPad.
I'm finding myself quite addicted to the qayg method - have you tried it? What have you made?

I've eaten at Fridays for 20 years and I remember when it was the IT place to go for cocktails and appt or dinner. The food and service seemed to just get worse and worse over the years. But, it was across the street from the mall and since there's never ever a wait and this was in December right before Christmas, off we went. I was sitting at a table with my back to the table behind us when a server came to deliver the table behind me their food. I had taken my leather jacket off and hung it on my chair. He must have had too many plates because he didn't drop the plate, I just felt something pouring all over my head and down my back. Among other things - mac and cheese.
I jumped up and it was all over me and my jacket. At the same time our food server arrived with our food and set it down. I grabbed my jacket and laid it on a empty table across from us and tried cleaning it with napkins. No one offered to help me so I just asked please for some cloth towels. It was everywhere, all over the floor. Then a busboy came and mopped up the floor with pine sol smelling cleaner. My food was getting cold, I had mac and cheese all over me and no manager in sight.
Finally everyone settled back into dinner and at the very end a manager came and said, "I understand there was a little incident". Clearly my jacket was ruined. Now this was a 400.00 jacket. Suede. He offered to pick up the cleaning bill. The jacket was ruined!!! Did not comp anything. I declined the dry cleaning, no point. I understand accidents happen because I was a waitress when I was young so I let it go as I didn't want the server to lose his job. Just bad management.
Went to TGI Fridays on a Sunday, very low traffic. We ordered 1 appetizer, 2 Entrees, 1 Drink a piece, and 1 Dessert. Bill was $74.00. We both had Jack Daniel's Chicken and Shrimp - No Steaks. I ordered a Double shot of Seagrams Seven on the rocks, come to find out, any call drink is charged Top Shelf Prices whether it is or not which SS is NOT. Charge was $6.19 an ounce. $12.38 for a drink that is not 2 inches tall. Seagrams costs about $15.00 for a 60 ounce bottle. $6.19 an ounce means they are selling a $15.00 bottle for $371.00. I don't mind anybody making a profit but this is BS.
Some TGI Fridays restaurants were closed on the major holidays. However this year..2009... they plan on forcing every employee, regardless of length of service OR even if you're the sole caregiver to your child to work one major holiday. Show your support for family first by complaining to 1-800-Fridays OR by not shopping at TGI Fridays from Nov through Dec. Try Applebee's, Chili's or Ruby Tuesday instead! Sometimes there are exceptions to the rules. Working a major holiday without additional holiday pay and without the right to decline is just not right. It's not like restaurants are as important as Dr's, Police officers, etc. - all important career positions.
NORTH DARTMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS -- With a $25.00 gift certificate. We, the poor retirees, on limited income went to TGIF for the 1st time. Our bill came to $35.00. No senior discounts. The decor inside was not appealing. The waitress was nowhere to be found and the other waitresses were just standing doing nothing. My broccoli was hard, no butter. cole slaw cost extra$$$$.
Coffee was $5 + for 2 cups. I should be included. No water. No free bread. Their bread sticks were greasy. Mike's and Applebee's gave a better deal and the food was 10 times better. THE WAITRESSES WERE NOT FRIENDLY.
OXNARD, CALIFORNIA -- My husband and I went to a Fridays because we had never been to one. We were not impressed at all but entertained by taking pictures of the ketchup bottle on our table. My husband got a steak of some sort that was 14 bucks and it was only slightly bigger than a dollar bill. I got a 9 dollar burger and fries all of which was the quality and quantity of a fast food restaurant. The waiter didn't leave a lasting impression so I can't say much about service.
Mainly I think it's overpriced.
LAKE WORTH/FT WORTH, TEXAS -- The music was so loud that I could not hear the person sitting across the booth from me. I asked them to turn the music down. I was told they could not. I know this is not true because on a previous trip to this restaurant they had honored our request. A second person came up and asked to take our order, I again asked for the music to be turned down. This person also left without honoring our request. We got up and left. Eating out includes conversation, background music is wonderful but when it prevents that happening it is actually an intrusion.
MARIETTA, GEORGIA -- My husband and I went to eat dinner this past weekend at TGIF in Marietta, GA located on Powers Ferry Road. Throughout the evening I drank three (3) screwdrivers and as I was waiting for my husband's dessert to be brought out - placed another drink order (screwdriver). To my shock & surprise, I was informed that I was at my "LIMIT" for alcoholic drinks and they refused to give it to me.... I wasn't even driving!! We promptly asked for our check and cancelled the dessert. When I got home, I called the restaurant and spoke to the manager who informed me that they weren't a "bar bar" but a "family restaurant". Since when has TGIF catered to families?
This place used to be the hottest "single" bar around.... boy have things changed. I asked the policy in the "bar" area and he said it was the same - a limit of 3 drinks. No wonder no one goes there any more! Has anyone ever heard of this?
CLIFTON, NEW JERSEY -- I wanted everyone to know that I recently went to TGIF and used my credit card. When I received my bill, I had been over charged $1.00. I know that it is only $1.00, But it is the principal. If TGIF's over charges every customer that uses a charge card by $1.00, They are making a lot of extra money everyday. I contacted them and as of over a month of waiting I still have no resolution. I did get a phone call saying they were looking into it but still have not heard any outcome. I just wanted people to know how this company acts and treats its customers, so be wary of using your credit card at their restaurant and watch that you are actually billed for what you signed for.

- World Darts Championship
Van Barneveld works hard to see off Dolan
Raymond van Barneveld produced a fitful display, but still had enough to claim a 4-1 win over Brendan Dolan in the second round of the World Darts Championship.
Five-time world champion Van Barneveld had the highest average of the first round, an imposing 108.31, and he looked like matching that as he roared out of the blocks. His form dipped for a couple of sets and Dolan forced his way back into the match, but Barney took a tight fourth set before going on the claim the win.
Van Barneveld took the first set at a canter, scoring heavily and finding the outer ring at will. A break saw Van Barneveld's level drop off, but so poor was Dolan he was unable to take the string of chances he was presented with and Barney was able to take the second set.
Van Barneveld's poor form continued in the third and Dolan forced a foot in the door by taking the set. It sparked both players into life and the fourth set see-sawed, with Barney hitting a 180 and following it with a double 19 to take the set.
Dolan failed to find a second wind and Van Barneveld kept his composure to close out the match and set up a meeting with Gary Anderson in the last 16.
"If you look at averages, this compared to the first match it is not so good," Van Barneveld said. "But I am happy with the win."
Kevin Painter withstood a fightback from Ronnie Baxter to book his place in the third round with a 4-3 win.
Painter looked to be cruising at 3-1, having won seven legs on the spin, but Baxter got up a head of steam to force a deciding set. Baxter took the first two legs of the decider, but Painter is a gritty battler and won four legs on the spin to progress.
"It was an incredible game to be involved in, but I felt that I had thrown it away, when I was 2-0 down in the final set," Painter said. "Somehow, I managed to recover and get myself together. I took a couple of good finishes at vital times and that's what saw me through."
Colin Lloyd has emerged from a lengthy spell in the doldrums to power back into form and he proved too good for Mark Webster - winning 4-2.
Lloyd should really have closed out the match 4-1, but he allowed Webster back into the contest. But the former world No. 1 steeled himself and closed out the match with a brilliant 10-dart leg.
"I did not think I should have been 3-0 up and when he started coming back at me my backside started to cramp a little bit," Lloyd said. "But I got through it."

Justin Bieber's 'Baby' Is Highest-Certified Single in History, But His Monkey Is No Longer His
There is good news and bad news for Justin Bieber regarding his hit song 'Baby' and his furry former friend, Mally the Monkey.
First, the good stuff. His signature song 'Baby' is now the highest-certified single in U.S. history, edging out Elton John's 1997 'Candle in the Wind/Something About the Way You Look Tonight.' 'Baby' has gone platinum 12 times, while John's tracks went platinum 11 times.
However, there is an interesting twist to how this status was achieved.
In a testament to the power of millennials and the digital age, Biebs was able to overthrow John based on a Recording Industry Association of America rule change, which incorporated on-demand streaming figures with the single sales. The song sold 3.9 million copies, but the video has been viewed a whopping 857 million times on VEVO, helping it cruise past John's 33 million-selling release.
So visibility and digital stats now account for more than ever in the music industry. Congrats, Biebs.
Now for the bad news, which finds us VERY disappointed in the singer.
Mally, the pet monkey that was seized by German customs authorities on March 28 when the Biebs failed to produce the proper paperwork (regarding vaccinations and such) required to enter the country with the simian, is now the property of the Republic of Germany.
The Biebs has forfeited. He was given a deadline to produce the paperwork and retake possession of his pet, which was cared for in a shelter in the interim. He failed to do so, and on Tuesday, May, 21, ownership was transferred to Germany.
Customs spokesman Thomas Meister said that the singer has six weeks to contest the decision, but judging from the fact that he let Mally, who is a baby at 20 weeks old, languish since March, he probably won't do so. Tsk tsk.
"We are going to make sure that Mally can grow up appropriately for its species," said environment minister Peter Altmaier.
The Biebs made several mistakes with Mally. First, the animal was taken from its mother way too soon. It should not have been removed from its mother's care until it was at least a year old. Secondly, capuchin monkeys thrive in group settings, not solo ones, so Mally's development certainly has been interrupted.
Thankfully, Germany will see to it that Mally gets what he needs. "Monkeys are very sociable animals," Altmaier said. "That's why we're going to take Mally to a place where he can live safely and in the company of others."
Germany's Federal Agency for Nature Conservation revealed that Mally will be sent to a German zoo, but declined to say which to prevent security breaches. They don't need Beliebers bugging the poor creature; he's been through enough.
Bieber will be billed several thousand dollars for the monkey's care. That's the least he can do. We know he's a busy pop star, but he could have had someone on his payroll to handle this situation correctly. Ditching the pet in a foreign country is pretty inconsiderate and heartless.

Art Deco Style Swimsuit
Added Jul 20, 2013
by melonhead
Roanoke, Indiana...
This is probably the most in-depth garment that I've ever made. So much time went into hand sewing, and making sure that all of the design details, and the fit was correct. For the fabric, I used a stretch linen (for those of you seamstresses who are wondering, the linen has held up great in water! There's no shrinking at all.), and cream jersey lining on the inside. I drafted the pattern using my own measurements, except for the bottom portion. I cut up an old pair of well fitted underwear to use as my base pattern for the bottoms.
There's boning in the bodice, and all of the white lines are bias tape that was top stitched onto outside of the suit. The bias tape was all hand pressed and made from an old, twill, satin skirt that I had. The halter straps are made from that same fabric as well.
The lining took the longest to work on. I only had scraps of jersey from other projects that I had worked on. At the time I didn't feel like going to buy more, so I just used what I had, and pieced the lining together from scraps. Although looking back I wish that I would have waited to buy more fabric, because so much time went into hand sewing the inside! Because I only had small pieces of jersey, all of the seams had to be hand sewn down using a whip stitch to keep from bunching. I also hand sewed ribbon, and bias tape to cover some of the seams as well (as you can see from the zipper and waist area). Overall around 40 hours went into sewing this swimsuit.
If you're interested there are more photos over on my blog: http://esther-fromthesticks.blogspot.com/2013/07/art-deco-style-swimsuit.html
Material Notes
Fabric, invisible zipper, boning, thread.

Seagate GoFlex Home
Product: Seagate GoFlex Home 1 TB
Price: $159.00
Rating: Strong Recommend
Network attached storage (NAS) is often a sign of extreme geekiness and dedication to backing up. The problem that remains for most users is the extreme difficulty in setting up NAS products. Not everyone wants to be a network engineer when they arrive home from a day of hard work, especially not us. Thankfully Seagate has introduced the GoFlex Home to automate and simplify the normal difficulty in a setting up a NAS.
Set Up:
When the Seagate arrived the sleek packaging and lack of complex instructions startled us. Normally we are used to a huge text accompanying a simple home networking product. The basic instruction said to set up the device, install the software, and then just follow the simple GUI prompts. Those things accomplished I followed the prompts and was able to easily get our Macs run time machine backups, share files, and work effectively with our windows machines. All this in under 30 minutes and before our dinner was ready!
The GoFlex Home shows up in our shared network places on the mac, easy to access and sharable across Windows and OS X
Back Up:
Speed of backing up over our network has always been… glacial. Previously we were running our backups through our Airport Extreme which meant our PC's could not be back up to the same drive drives as the Mac's. Once we switched our computers over to the GoFlex Home they backed up with regular ease. The slick back up functions were also complimented by a clean and easy to use software suite included with the drive.
The Seagate enables smooth sharing of media between computers on a home network. Once we threw our test media on the server it worked extremely well with iTunes and our photo software. This all on a single hard drive while providing excellent read write speeds for multiple users. The only flaw is the single drive does not provide redundancy if you use the drive as a media storage unit, just back your data up using the provided USB port on the back. Seagate makes it easy to ensure that you will not loose your media if you follow the provided steps.
The Seagate's modular nature means you can upgrade the drive as your capacity needs expand
Pros: Easy to use, good looking software
Cons: Forced us to be embarrassed by our shared music collection
Bottom Line:
The Seagate is and excellent network attached storage device for the person who wants a simple robust, and feature-laden device. The drive is good looking enough not to feel a persistent need to hide it. The drive fulfilled our needs and exceeded our expectations. Most importantly, it passed the ultimate test for any device: it did not frustrate us to the point of wanting to chuck it onto concrete.

Proposed protocol notation changes for Version 2 Milestone 2Gary Brown Nov 27, 2010 4:49 PM
Following a meeting with Kohei, Aybek and Tzu-Chun, we are proposing to make the following changes to the protocol notation for version 2.0.0.M2 of the scribble tools:
1) Import statement
"import" <typesystem> "<typeName>" "as" <alias> ( "," <typeName> as <alias> )* "from" "<location>" ";"
So for example, with Java it would be:
import java "Order" as Order from "org.example.data";
where "Order" is the class name and "org.example.data" is the package (i.e. the location).
For XML, this could be:
import xml "{http://www.example.org/data}Order" as Order from "../schema/Example.xsd";
2) Choice
The current choice notation has a problem in that it uses { } curly braces for the overall choice, as well as for each choice path. Through working on various examples, it is felt that the following notation is simpler:
choice from Buyer to Seller {
3) Recursion
With the use of <label>: for the choice paths, it was felt necessary (to avoid parser conflicts and confusion) to change the way recursion labels are defined. So for clarity, it has been made more explicit:
rec Txn {
The way in which the recursion is referenced has also been changed, to remove the previously used '#' prefix.
4) Running a protocol
The way in which parameters (roles initially) are passed (or bound) when running a protocol has been changed. Instead of binding to roles defined within the protocol being run, the roles (and in future other state) are defined as parameters of the protocol. For example,
protocol BuyerSeller(role Buyer, role Seller)
The way in which the protocol parameters are passed can be in two ways:
run BuyerSeller(BuyerRole, SellerRole); -- so positional parameters
run BuyerSeller(Seller=SellerRole, Buyer=BuyerRole); -- keyword parameter assignment, as used in the current version
5) Unordered
This is a new construct:
unordered {
where each statement in the unordered statement can be performed in any order.
6) Try/Catch:
There are no changes to the syntax for the Try/Catch construct. However while we better understand the implications and semantics of this construct, there will be some constraints placed on what can be specified. These will be policed with validation rules.
Initially the constraints will be:
a) Catch interactions must be between same two parties and in the same direction
b) Try block must end with an interaction between the same two parties specified in the catch blocks, and in the same direction, as a way to signify that the 'try' has completed successfullly and that the 'catch' blocks will no longer be triggered.
If you have any comments on these changes, please let us know.

White Plains (New York)
White Plains is a city in the Westchester County, New York.
Get in
Get around
Take the train from or to Manhattan. Buses connect White Plains with Stamford and locations throughout Westchester. Taxi cabs are available at the train station and by appointment elsewhere in the City. For train and bus schedule information see www.mta.com.
Not too much as far as tourist attractions, but White Plains does a nice job for Saint Patty's day parade and New Year's Celebration. The Ice Rink is a nice resource. The Library is top notch. Saxon Woods Park is worth a visit with a good walking loop in the woods of about 3 miles.
There are a number of malls in White Plains, including the upscale Westchester Mall, as well as the Galeria and White Plains Mall. That said, however, the most popular attraction in White Plains is the Metro North station, which can deposit a traveler into the heart of Manhattan via express train within 35 minutes. If you find yourself in White Plains for any prolonged period, you may want to take advantage of this option.
There are little to no native products to White Plains, but most major retailers are located in Town. Departments stores abound but for avid bargain hunters, the best retail therapy can be had approximately thirty minutes away at Woodbury Commons Outlet Mall.
White Plains has all of the major chains represented here. So you can choose between Legal Seafood, PF Chang's Cheesecake Factory and Applebee's in case you hadnt eaten at one of them in another typical Edge City. There is a large number of local Italian restaurants of varying quality along with the standard Greek diners and ubiquitious middling Chinese fare. For high end Italian try Merlinos. The Indian restaurant on East Post Rd. just received an excellent in the NY Times review. For affordable fare stick with one of the several diners. Many of the restaurants have had formal write ups in the times which can be googled. The Old White Plains Mall has an asian supermarket with prepared chinese and japanese food at a reasonable price and of course Whole Foods has quality prepared foods as well.
There is a cluster of bars on Mamaroneck Ave between Maple and Main St. which is the center of White Plains nightlife. If the Irish Pubs in this vicinity do not quite suit the bill there is another small cluster of bars down East Post Road as you head to South Broadway.
Get out
White Plains is the center of the County and is convenient to NYC. An express train takes less than thirty minutes to Midtown Manhattan. The bus can be taken into the Bronx (try the Zoo, Botanical Gardens or Arthur Avenue). Westchester County Airport is ten minutes away.

|The Fedora Project Board is made up of Fedora community contributors. This page describes the details of how the Board members are selected.
The Fedora Project Board has nine (9) seats, occupied by five (5) elected members and four (4) appointed members. All seats are occupied by Fedora community members. The Board has a Chairman, and that person is the Red Hat-appointed Fedora Project Leader .
OPEN SEAT: A seat is open when it is subject to the current election process.
TERM: Board members are elected for a term of two (2) major releases of Fedora. However, a Board member may resign his/her seat at any time.
CONTINUITY: It is the Board's desire to "roll over" about half of the seats with each term expiration.
ELIGIBLE VOTER: Any person in the Fedora Account System who has completed the Contributor License Agreement.
SCHEDULE: Elections for those seats subject thereto on the Board are held no more than 30 days after each major release of Fedora.
CHAIR: The Fedora Project Leader is appointed and not subject to elections.
APPOINTED SEATS: The people in these seats are appointed rather than community elected. Red Hat's continued interest in the success of Fedora ensures that qualified, motivated, and appropriately experienced individuals occupy these seats. Ultimately, the Fedora Project Leader has final say over who are in the appointed seats, and may choose to fill any of these seats with any members of the Fedora community.
ELECTED SEATS: The remaining seats are subject to a general election of nominees from within the Fedora Project community. Any members of the Fedora community may run for election.
NOMINATIONS: Nominations may be made by and of any eligible voter. Sitting Board members are not restricted from nomination or re-election to open seats.
BALLOTING: Elections are held by a ballot of eligible voters, using the election system in place for other Fedora subproject steering committee elections. The Fedora Project Board ensures that this system provides a fair, equitable, and open means for elections.
ORDER OF OPERATIONS: All appointed seats with the exception of one (1) will be announced prior to the elected seats being determined. The final appointment is held back to allow the FPL to look at the entire incoming Board composition and use the last appointed seat to make sure that the breadth of skills represented is suitable.
INSUFFICIENT NOMINATIONS: If there are fewer nominees for elected Board seats than required to fill all seats, then the FPL will appoint individuals to fill any empty seats for a full term. At the expiry of the term, the seats in question revert to elected seats.
REMOVAL: In the event of repeated absence without contact, or other serious misconduct or negligence, a Board member may be subject to removal. Before any other process occurs, the Board member in question will be personally contacted by the FPL to try to resolve the situation. If this contact does not successfully resolve the situation, the Board member in question may be removed by unanimous vote of the other members of the Board. Any resulting open seat will be filled through an interim appointment by the FPL, following consultation with the Board. The term of the interim appointment will be the remainder of the original term for that seat.
AMENDMENT: Changes to this process may be made by a 2/3 vote of the Fedora Project Board and the approval of the Chairman.

A deep-sounding guitar made of Tropical mahogany and solid Sitka spruce with Taylor Expression System electronics.
Taylor baritone guitars are designed for playing in a lower register with normal string tension, thanks to a longer 27" scale length. Tuned to B (B E A D F# B), the deeper acoustic tone of the Taylor BAR-6 Baritone Mahogany/Spruce 6-String Acoustic-Electric Guitar is voiced with the GS body shape and a wood combination mahogany with Sitka spruce. The deeper tonal voice will appeal to singer-songwriters and other players who favor playing in a lower register. The baritone also blends well with other instruments, adding a different sonic texture to create a rich, ensemble sound. This 8-string model adds 2 strings to provide octaves above the 3rd and 4th strings, creating a rich sound that will inspire new ideas. So along with the baritone growl comes a bit of 12-string jangle.
Grand Symphony (GS)
Body Width: 15" / Body Depth: 4-3/8" / Body Length: 19-1/2"
The ultimate Taylor strummer.
The Grand Symphony shape joined the line in 2006 and delivers Taylor™s boldest, richest acoustic voice. Think of it as a Grand Auditorium with a turbo boost, thanks to expanded physical dimensions, including a slightly wider waist and a bigger lower bout. Strummers and pickers with a driving attack will love the fullness, volume and sustain. Yet for such a robust voice, the GS is also clear and responsive to fast picking runs or a light fingerstyle touch, so if you'e a dynamic player, this shape is a true contender. And the big voice doesn™t come at the expense of balance. The piano-like bass, meaty midrange, and thick, shimmering highs blend seamlessly. These traits also make the GS a great vehicle for 12-Strings. If you like a lush, potent guitar tone that has the horsepower to compete with other acoustic cannons out there, the GS shape is a worthy choice.
Tropical Mahogany
Origin: Central and South America
Mahogany is a good wood to anchor a discussion of tones, as a lot of other wood tones can be described in relation to it. Its essential sonic profile is well represented in the midrange frequencies. Acoustic guitars in general tend to live in the midrange portion of the sound spectrum, but mahogany in particular displays a lot of midrange character. That thick, present midrange sound is sometimes described in guitar circles as meaty, organic or even œchewy " wherever a player digs in on the fretboard, they'e tapping into the core of the harmonic content of what a guitar produces. Those great midrange frequencies produce overtones that stack up and produce bloom, giving the sound extra girth. When one hears the resulting harmonics, the œchewy tone serves up a big mouthful of midrange. As a popular tonewood for many decades, mahogany has been used on scads of old school acoustic recordings, and that sonic heritage carries across various strains of roots music, from blues to folk to slack key.
Goes well with: A broad range of players and musical styles; people who like a well-balanced tone, nice dynamic range and a healthy serving of overtones. Blues and other rootsy players tend to respond well to mahogany™s midrange character. A smaller body mahogany guitar (GC or GA) might appeal to fingerstyle players, whereas more aggressive flatpickers might opt for a mahogany Dreadnought or GS. For versatility, a mahogany GA is a good bet. Because of mahogany™s midrange, a player with œdark hands will tend to sound darker on a mahogany guitar. A bright player will sound slightly less bright.
Expression System
Natural Sound Made Simple
People love the clear, full acoustic tone of their Taylors. Why should it be any different when they plug in? That™s why we spent several years developing the onboard acoustic pickup and preamp. Taylor™s ground-breaking Expression System (ES) was designed to naturally amplify the warm acoustic sound of your guitar.
The ES is an all-magnetic acoustic guitar pickup system that works like a microphone to produce a pure signal and a warm, natural acoustic sound. When you plug in, you'll hear the sound of your guitar, not the sound of the pickup. No complicated controls. No tone simulators. Just a clean amplified acoustic guitar sound supported by three simple controls " volume, bass and treble.
Breakthrough Technology
Years of research brought Taylor to a simple realization: Nothing sounds as true and musical as a microphone. With that as a starting point, Taylor™s David Hosler led the team responsible for the Expression System's breakthrough technology. Utilizing a unique Dynamic Body Sensor mounted to the soundboard, a Dynamic String Sensor embedded beneath the fretboard, and a discrete preamp, the advanced ES technology is unlike any other guitar pickup system.
Integrated Design
The ES was designed in-house, alongside their acoustic guitars, which allowed Taylor to build the ES seamlessly into the design of the guitar, for an integrated pickup system unlike any other. From the design and location of the body and string sensors to the voicing of the preamp, the ES is fully optimized for the Taylor sound. The elegant design, including the non-intrusive control knobs, also preserves the aesthetic of a Taylor guitar.

Please all animal shelter works in the states, this woman brings all of her animals up from the southern shelters or anywhere she can get them as well as pit bulls. She is sick and needs help but refuses to get it, she refuses to adopt out most of her animals and they remain in crates for up to 22 hours a day. Lots of horrible information can be seen online about her as well as pictures of what has happened to some of these animals including the dog with 130 bladder stones removed by the SPCA vet. If you shelter or rescue hears from this rescue or one of it's representatives please run the other way!!!
METRO VANCOUVER - Fifty-two dogs and 16 cats seized from a Burnaby home earlier this month are being returned to a woman who rescues special needs animals.
Sandra Simans, who runs an organization called 1atatime Rescue, contacted The Vancouver Sun on Friday and appealed to the public for help finding a new home for her animals after she was evicted from her rental house on Maitland Street. The dogs and cats, many of them sick and injured, were seized for being in contravention of a bylaw that prohibits that many animals.
The SPCA has launched an animal cruelty investigation. No charges have been laid.
In a news release, Bob Busch, general manager of operations for the BC SPCA, says Simans has found a property in Surrey for the animals.
Busch says the BC SPCA will be closely monitoring the welfare and safety of any animals that are returned.
"This is a very sad case where a rescue hoarder took in far more animals than she was capable of properly caring for and was not meeting the financial responsibilities of housing or caring for the animals," said Busch.
"Many of the animals we took into care from Ms. Simans were extremely sick, injured and emaciated and were not getting the urgent veterinary care they needed."
He said the BC SPCA told Simans that she could claim the animals at any time once she had a location where the animals could be properly cared for.
"Since the animals are rescue animals, not pets, we assume Ms. Simans will be happy with this outcome for the animals," says Busch.
The BC SPCA has spent more than $10,000 in emergency veterinary costs on these animals so far and there will be significant ongoing medical costs for many of the animals before they are ready for adoption, he said.
Of the 68 animals, one had to be euthanized due to extreme distress and suffering, he said.
Busch says the dogs were kept in plastic crates and were "clearly not getting the care they required."
He said rescue groups have a standard called 'Capacity to Care' which sets out levels of health and welfare that must be provided for rescued animals and guides organizations in the number of animals they can responsibly care for given their resources.
Since Friday, The Vancouver Sun has received many emails from people who claim to have worked for Simans and allege she was hoarding animals and kept them in cages. So far none would go on record, however neighbour Audrey Hall said she was outraged that Simans may get to keep the animals.
Hall, who has lived on Maitland Street since 1984, said Simans had lived in the rental property across from her house for four years, and in that time she saw her walk a dog about three times.
"She never left the house. They lived like vampires and when they would come out of the house the dogs would be in cages," said Hall.
Hall alleges that on several occasions she heard Simans swearing and screaming at the dogs and at a police officer who was at the front door. She also claimed the dogs howled at all hours of the night and kept her family and her neighbours awake.
"I don't think there is any validity to anything she says," said Hall. "Maybe her intentions come from a good place but I think there is something unstable about hoarding so many animals in a house."
Simans insists she was doing everything she can for the animals she rescued from disaster areas all over the world. She claimed that she spent all her money trying to save them and treat their illnesses.

Beware Animal Shelters in the States
Re: Beware Animal Shelters in the States
awful. it is so sad that the laws are such that the animals are being returned, I know this is not the SPCA's choice.
Re: Beware Animal Shelters in the States
Oh no I met this lady, she did a dog class with me once. I didn't know she was hoarding but I can't say I'm surprised. I hope her dogs get the care they deserve

50 Cent Ordered to Pay $16 Million to Settle Sleek Audio Lawsuit
50 Cent is currently putting all of his energy into promoting his upcoming album, 'Animal Ambition,' but it looks like something more important has come up. A Miami court has just ordered the rapper to pay $16 million to settle a lawsuit with Sleek Audio.
The recently unsealed case reveals that Sleek Audio, a company set to make a line of wireless headphones for Fiddy, has sued him for "damages for misappropriation of trade secrets, unjust enrichment and breach of confidentiality," the Miami Herald reports. Part of the $16 million he owes the company also includes $4.4 million in legal fees.
After seeing the success that Dr. Dre had with his Dr. Beats audio line, 50 joined with Sleek to design a line of wireless, over-the-ear headphones in early 2011. However, the partnership collapsed that following May with reports saying that the two just did not get along. And according to these new unsealed documents, 50 has been accused of stealing design secrets from Sleek.
Despite these new developments, 50 Cent and his lawyers have been quiet about the situation. However, we have a feeling that silence won't last very long.

I dashed to the room where my smartphone was blaring a sitar ringtone, and pressed the red button, happy that I'd managed to locate the device before voice mail picked up. Well, I was happy until I realized I'd hung up on the caller, which is what the red button does, which you'd think I would know after having had the phone for three months.
So I opened the call log and returned the call to hear my brother's voice on the line saying, "Hello?…..Hello?…..Is anyone there?" as I filled in the ellipsis with my own responses that he couldn't hear with my mute button on. I figured out how to unmute the phone, but only after he hung up. So I tried calling him back again only to get a confused, Spanish-speaking person on the other end of the line, who I knew was not my brother because my brother took German in high school, not Spanish.
Then, finally, I managed to call my brother back at the […]
