Look, Randy. If you ever find yourself about to go back and point out that you made a joke, just stop. It is never a good idea. At worst it ruins a subtle joke, or, as in this case, it makes you look really desperate. "GUYS MAYBE YOU DIDN'T NOTICE BUT THERE WAS THIS HILARIOUS BIT IN PANEL 2 WHERE BLACK HAT GUY HOLDS HIS LAPTOP IN A WAY WHICH IS BAD FOR LAPTOPS, AND I DID THAT ON PURPOSE BECAUSE HE IS BLACK HAT GUY AND HE LIKES IT WHEN YOU SUFFER."
926. My first thought when I heard "time vulture" was that episode of Doctor Who where those giant winged time things show up when Rose is stupid and creates a paradox and then cries a lot. Other people are pointing out that the Weeping Angels in Doctor Who kill you by sending you back in time and letting you age to death. But that's really neither here nor there.
The first thing I notice here is that Randy apparently did some revisions on this one and then forgot. The Time Vultures, as he describes them, are scavengers, and are not "using aging to kill prey." They are just waiting for their prey to die, from aging. There's kind of an important difference there!
The second thing I notice is that, while there is nothing funny about this comic, there is also nothing of any other emotional quality to speak of. It's not poignant. Nobody is going to reconsider their place in the universe vis-a-vis how puny and insignificant their lives are because of this. It's just "here is a thing I just thought of." He doesn't do anything with the concept. He just kind of presents it.
As I often do in comics where I have difficulty fathoming why anyone would like this, I visited the forodes for this one. Below are my findings.
At first glance this comic does not appear to reveal much but I feel like Randall has shown, in a very interesting way, the inevitability of death. I also feel that this comic reflects current events that have been surrounding his life and to that, I wish the best of luck to him.
The way he phrases this makes it sound like this is the first time anyone has pointed out that he'll die eventually.
On a slightly different tangent I just finished watching HP7 part 2 and the similarity in theme slightly spooked me out.
I just watched Harry Potter 7 part 2 as well and there is no similarity in theme. This is the same guy as before, by the way.
Please tell me there was someone else who's only thought while reading this comic was this
Even the forumites think this is reminiscent of the Weeping Angels!
Clearly evolution is wrong, because we don't have one of these.
I guess this guy thinks this idea is really awesome?
No, not the Weeping Angels, the Reapers from 'Father's Day'. They are more like time vultures.
Apparently I'm not alone in thinking of the things from that one episode! Apparently they are called Reapers.
Grrrr I spent the greater part of this school year staying up as long as I could until I nearly collapsed asleep, because every time I'd lay down the same "holy crap you're going to die and you're wasting what time you have sleeping" thought would pop into my head. I finally managed to push it out a month or two ago, and then Randall goes and pulls this crap :( What a jerk!
...and I'm done. Most of the comments in the thread seem to be off-topic, which usually is a sign that the comic isn't doing much for them. A fair number of them seem to be impressed with the concept of "a bird that waits for you to die, THROUGH TIME," though, which is kind of sad.

From South Africa Rock Climbing Routes Wiki
Start View the topo on the photograph. The route traverses in from the right and the start is marked with a cairn.
- Pitch 1 : (19) 30m Walk left along a ledge system to a cairn. Traverse low below an overhang past a green bush and step down after 5m to end below a steep white face. Climb up the right facing corner and exit left above it to a small ledge with a bush.
- Pitch 2 : (20)35m Climb directly up from the ledge past the thin crux(tiny cam BD C1 or C2). Continue to the large left facing corner and up this to a comfy ledge.
- Pitch 3 : (20) 20m Move right and do a tricky stem move in a grey groove and continue diagonally right to the large overhang. Climb through the notch directly above the belay and continue to a small belay stance.
- Pitch 4 (17) 30m Climb diagonally right to the monster sized pillar and traverse to the right at its base. Continue up and right to a right facing corner (or climb the dark face to the left of the corner) and exit diagonally left to a large bushy ledge and stance.
- Pitch 6 : (14) 20m Exit the ledge on easy rock on it's left and then pull through the bulge just left of the overhang above and then climb diagonally right to a stance below shiny grey rock and left leaning cracks directly above the previous belay.
- Pitch 7 : (17) 25m Climb the crack system to the next ledge and stance
- Pitch 8 : (20) 25m Climb the overhanging jam crack and continue up the steep crack and face to a stance on the right below a right facing corner.
- Pitch 9 : (18) 40m Climb the corner and continue past a short chimney crack above. Continue up the left facing corner crack or up the left slanting grassy cracks and exit left and then find your way to the top. Avoid the horrible off width by climbing around on the left.
Scramble off.

Gone are the days when one had to be connected with the major telecommunication grids in order to access telephone services or even satellite internet in Tubac, Arizona for that matter. The rapid evolution of technology has made it possible for everyone to have access to reliable internet connection via the satellite. However deep you may be residing in the country, through satellite internet, you will be able to access the internet just as if you were in the towns or any other place with a decent connection.
As a matter of speaking, Tubac, AZ satellite internet services are becoming more and more reliable as people continue to embrace them albeit slowly. This increase in superiority can be attributed to the unique capabilities that it bears over the other forms and means through which internet is supplied.
With all the numerous benefits, one would think that it would cost a fortune to have satellite internet. Well, to your surprise, the prices: both installation and subscription are very affordable. In most cases, you will be surprised that satellite internet is far much cheaper than the other types of connections.
In most of the cases, those who use dial up internet connections will always be limited in terms of service availability. This is due to the simple fact that whenever they can use the internet only for a thing at a time. For instance, when they are browsing the net, they are unable to make phone calls since the line will be busy. But with satellite internet, there will never be any kind of such interferences and you can use your phone while you surf the internet all at the same time.
There are a plethora of benefits that you will get when you use satellite internet services in Tubac, Arizona. One of these advantages is that you don't have to wait for any cables to be laid in your area or be forced to acquire WI FI modems that you can use to access internet via wireless devices. With satellite internet, you can get connected to the internet irrespective of your location. Besides, the efficiency of the satellite internet services have been proven to be above those of the normal providers as it is rarely affected by heavy traffic neither does it suffer in case there is a capable breakdown which is very common with those who rely on the optic fiber cables for internet.
With the other types of internet connections, you will be compelled to stay in one station where you had done the initial set ups. This is because you can't be moving around the cables each and every time you wish to relocate. This is not to mention the reinstallation costs you are likely to incur when you change addresses. This is however not a caveat when it comes to satellite internet in Tubac, AZ. Since satellite internet is supplied by wireless means, you will be able to have your internet just about anywhere and without any hindrances.

Oh, those nerds. They deserve to get laid because they are so familiar with the female anatomy and everything! Why do women always go for bad boys who don't even know the difference between the labia majora and the perineum?!ReplyDelete

I actually got a chuckle out of 744, because I watch LP's and speedruns all the time and couldn't help it.ReplyDelete
But the alt-text was just miserable. Why does Randall always have to pile on painfully drawn-out blather when the setup for a nice clean joke about the speedrun being "tool-assisted" is RIGHT THERE.

I read this and I was thinking "Oh, hey, a set-up for a tool-assisted speedrun pun". Not in the alt-text? They've only been around since 2003, Randall.ReplyDelete
There's nothing wrong with a speedrun of sex, unless Randall thinks that you can win without both partners having an orgasm. That might explain a lot, really.
- AnonymousMay 24, 2010 at 2:33 AM
I really liked 744. A simple joke that's reasonably well executed (Could've done without the "ouch", but whatever).ReplyDelete
The alt-text... not so much. But I don't think it's fair to judge a comic on its alt text.

Wouldn't that title be more appropriate for 744?ReplyDelete
the concept is amusing (for me, anyway) but the execution is lackingReplyDelete
Sorry, what's a tool-assisted speedrun?ReplyDelete
I only watch Let's Plays, if anything, so I'm not familiar with speedrun terminology, and I can't think of any tools you could use in such a situation.

744 made me laugh. Finally, the punchline is in the right place. The alt-text is worth it for the terrible "spawn point" pun.ReplyDelete
Though that's an awful definition of how to "win" sex. No wonder nerds are so terrible in bed.
This comic has two problems: it was done by Randall, therefore carries with it the disgusting, vomit-inducing legacy of sexkcd; and the dialogue was Randall-level terrible, which makes the joke even fouler. Judging by the circumstances, I guess the second guy would start off saying "oh, it was terrible, absolutely terrible. I mean, I wanted to be prepared...". There's no need to rush things so much just to make the comic work in three panels! The guy just goes off in that rant as if it was the most natural thing in the world... though, in xkcdland, I guess looking at a "walkthrough for sex" is not very unnatural at all.ReplyDelete
There's definitely a joke in #744, but I've got a reflexive squick when it comes to sexckd and the dialogue doesn't do it justice. The title text would probably have been a better way to go with the comic, even if that would have required a) actual artwork and b) a violent ramping in the nsfw quotient.ReplyDelete
#743 is just a blatant paid advert for the FSF. Guaranteed that Richard Stallman considers it to be Shakespearean.
Chris, did you just suggest that a comic needs to be MORE like 631?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 24, 2010 at 7:20 AM
744 is yet another Sexkcd - lets take some geek reference and make a joke out of it.ReplyDelete
It's not poorly done, but it's creepy.
743 makes a great goatkcd.

Wow. Just checked in here for the first time in months. This site is STILL GOING? Get a life, you assholes!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 24, 2010 at 7:47 AM
It's still going because XKCD still sucks. That's logic.ReplyDelete
Oh fuck no! I never know how to respond to haters properly. Am I supposed to submit details of the life which I do, in fact, possess? Point out the absurdity of a life spent in telling others to get lives? Or simply spurn the comment with a GTFO? Screw getting a life, I need to get a robust decision-making schema.ReplyDelete
Anyway the new comic has a pregnant-pause second panel. Weren't we talking about that a few comics ago? Something something pacing something flow. Except it kinda sucks the wind out of the whole thing. I think it'd work better with just the two panels, and maybe leave out the first guy's reaction to make it more deadpan instead of "THAT'S THE JOKE."
- AnonymousMay 24, 2010 at 8:08 AM
"xkcd is aawweeesoommmeee!" Alas, this deception lacked the guile to convince even himself... Maybe... Just maybe... NO. NO.ReplyDelete
"Wow. Just checked in here for the first time in months. This site is STILL GOING? Get a life, you assholes!" He wailed as his bloated, cheesit stained fingers flailed futilely in the air. That voice... Rage and sloth personified. His pathetic screams loud enough to wake his dear mother, who had previously been sleeping soundly. Mascara diluted tears forming vertical rivers of despair...
I can't help but think that comic would have been funnier with the beat panel last followed by another panel saying "THAT'S THE JOKE." It would at least elicit a snort, which is more than 744 did.ReplyDelete
That's the worst part. 744 doesn't even inspired hatred. It doesn't inspire vitriol. It doesn't inspire a rant about how smug and superior Randy's acting. It's just boring and dull.
The problem with the newest one is the fairly obvious genesis of it:ReplyDelete
Randall sees a speedrun of something. Randall asks himself what it might be funny to follow a speedrun for in real life. Randall, lacking all maturity or ounce of cleverness, immediately shouts "SEX"!
Woah, people actually liked the speedrun joke? I thought it was nerd pandering and lacking in actual cleverness or humour. It's the kind of simple joke you come up with while hanging out with friends and that isn't funny to people who weren't there at the time, except that in this case Randall decided to share it with the world.ReplyDelete
Those people who found it funny because they're speedrun junkies, I guess you're the real target audience. If you were xkcd forumites this would be the point where you start saying GOOMH
- AnonymousMay 24, 2010 at 12:00 PM
@Jen I think people liked the joke because, while it has its share of pandering, its a self sustained joke which most people will get...it also has enough pandering that you feel fine about the joke. It may have been cheesy, but it lacks many of the things that makes XKCD bad.ReplyDelete

The Vatican's Hottest REAL Priests Are On Display In 2014 'Roman Priest Calendar'
While photographer Piero Pazzi's "Roman Priest Calendar" isn't serving up the salaciousness of the Orthodox Priest calendar, it does have one thing going for it:
Pazzi assures us his priests are real!
And they are GORGEOUS. So what's got these
sexy holy men stepping in front of Pazzi's lens?
According to The Local:
But the Venice-based photographer behind the calendar, Piero Pazzi, insists the portraits are purely intended to promote the Eternal City and inform visitors about the Vatican.
They are all genuine priests, usually snapped in Rome during Holy Week, he tells The Local. He also travels to Seville to capture clergymen during the Spanish city's Holy Week procession.
"I meet most of them on the streets in Rome and ask to take their photos," he says.
The priests do not supply their name but "most are happy to be photographed after I tell them the reason for the calendar," adds Pazzi, who launched the calendar in 2003.
"I do the same in Seville. Yes, the men are good-looking, but it is just a product, a way for people to be better informed about the Vatican."
Inform us, Pazzi!! Keep us informed all day, every day!!
You can order the calendar here, or if you happen to conveniently be strolling by the Vatican, drop off 10 Euros to one of the vendors and be on your merry way!
(H/T: The Gaily Grind)
don't think the vatican is part of this. if you re-read the article, this photographer did not have any connection or previous set appointments with the priests. he just catches them on the streets during catholic events and come to them and ask for their picture explaining what he wants to achieve. the priests are of course good hearted and so they pose along thinking there is no harm done. it is also mentioned in the article that the priests doesn't want to be ID'd.
Victoria's Secret model ADRIANA LIMA was quoted that if she did not model, she was to study in becoming a nun. How would you react if adriana lima was your nun? lol. she is a devout Catholic and have stated that sex was for after marriage. These men do not contradict anything. The calendar is for a good cause (hopefully), and having handsome priests is not a sin. If anything, it would help the church
God's creation is perfect and we just need to look inward and open our hearts to be able to see it. These men are so blessed with good looks and spiritual grace of which everything came from God, however may we not forget that they are as human as anyone else. Even after ordination, even more, their humanness is always at a test because Satan is working double time for them to fall. LET US ALWAYS OFFER A PRAYER FOR THEM, FOR CARDINAL VIRTUES AND GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT TO SHINE ON THEM FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIFE, RESPECT AND LOVE THEM WITH PURE HEART.
There was a time that the pope was an emperor, a time when the pope was a warrior... and because the world is dynamic, the Church has to evolve without compromising its original nature as mother and teacher of humanity, today, the pope has to be a celebrity (in style-- to promote the Word of God loudly), so as priests.
why does they can't believe that these men are real priest? are they not qualified ? just because of their handsome faces and gorgeous looks and physique? why put controversies out of it? i think there's nothing wrong if they are priest. it's their choice and for sure it's what we called "The Calling".. God want them to be His disciples. The one who will preach and send God words to every nation... May God bless them. and as well as those people who are trying to condemn them. Let's just do our part and keep our faith steadfastly.
Well i think Vatican showing something that will promote sin specially lust... If they want to promote their priest or the church use something appropriate that will promote faith not this pretty faces... Well i say better to think twice or even more cause for me this makes the credibility of faith and conservative culture of Vatican questionable...
They're beautiful men. Why do people need to make it smutty? I see the non-sexual aesthetics of the images, their faces, the scenes, etc. :D How you perceive these images is all about you. If you think they're inappropriate, it's because you want them to be inappropriate. I'm rather inappropriate, so of course I did think of all of those other things, too. And I smiled. :)
Well no, vanity is described as the excessive pride in or admiration of one's own appearance or achievements and there's a high percent chance that they were actually chosen by other people.
plus it's for a calendar that(according to the photographer) aims to promote the Eternal City and inform visitors about the Vatican.
No, accurately translated it's just like the other person said. Look it up in a dictionary. There's nothing in the definition about vanity only applying to the Catholic Church. Isn't always interesting how some people, like this Ron J, are always trying to find a way to bash the Catholic Church even when the facts, sitting right in front of them, are clearly showing otherwise? Some people will twist anything around to make it support their tainted view of the world and allow them to be the perpetual victim and nay sayer. Must be a very sad existence.
I just don't get why they had to use physical looks, like finding the most gorgeous priests, to promote religion. It's all ironic to the Church's teachings, if not most religions, even though as the other person said there's a high chance this was chosen by non-Vatican people. I know this is all for media purposes, but whoever will take this seriously as a real promotion to the catholic church's awareness must think again.
I would beg to differ on whether being celibate means that one cannot be "hot." I suppose it depends on how you define "hot", and if the definition is "person whom one would like to see more of, preferably without the collar and cassock," then hot the guy is irrespective of whether he does or does not want to be seen as such. Particularly if, as is reported in the original story, the men have been told that they are being photographed for a catalog of handsome priests.

My Trip to Japan
Last night I went out with Hiroshi Maruyama, Takeshi Yagi, Norman England and Jim Ballard. Those of you who don't know your Japanese monster movie stuff will not recognize those names. Which is fine. I don't wish the level of geek-dom required to recognize that list of names on many people.
But if you are geeky enough you might even be impressed. Maruyama designed most of the Ultraman characters and the monsters they fought from 1995 till maybe 2007 or so when he, like me, was fired from Tsuburaya Productions by the new management (who, themselves, have recently quit the company). Yagi was the director and/or producer of numerous episodes of the Ultraman TV shows as well as the oddly titled theatrical film Superior Ultraman 8 Brothers (you can tell the English titles given after I left the company!). Norman England has written more articles about Godzilla than anyone can possibly count. He's been in Japan since forever reporting on the Japanese monster scene for Fangoria, Hobby Japan and others. He's also made his own movies. My favorite is The Idol. Jim Ballard is a writer for the Sci Fi Japan website.
These people are from a part of my life that I don't think the readers of this blog really care a whole lot about. Which, again, is fine. I'm not saying you should. But I talk about it because all of us in this Zen game get here from somewhere. Most Zen teachers don't talk about their personal lives or what they do outside of when they're being Zen teachers. And that too is A-OK by me. There are a lot of perfectly good reasons for a Zen teacher not to talk much about her or his personal life.
But I think that stuff is interesting. Me, I don't so much want to hear my teachers talk about the ultimate level of reality as I want to hear them talk about where they work when they're not gazing at the walls. I feel the same way when I read about some of the rock'n'roll people I like. I mean, I know most of the indie rockers these days can't possibly make a living by music alone. So how do they manage? I remember reading how Wayne Coyne of Flaming Lips kept his job at Long John Silver's even after the band got signed to Warner Brothers. That kind of info turns my crank.
It was cool to geek out with the people I used to work with. I haven't seen most people from Tsuburaya for a long time. And we spent so much time together. I learned a lot of very deep Zen lessons at that little film company in Kinuta. It's gone now. Even the buildings have been razed. There's still a Tsuburaya Productions in name. But it's hardly the same anymore. So sad...
Oh! The photo at the top I snapped yesterday afternoon in Shibuya. Completely unposed. So THIS is where you get Zen from! Genpo Roshi was wrong!

This dream is a nightmare: Proposed Coast Guard Museum runs contrary to well-thought-out land use plans, common sense
The proponents of the National Coast Guard Museum - which should more aptly be called the "Glass Monstrosity" - are driving a political steamroller that attempts to foist a building upon the New London waterfront that will defile the railroad station and surrounding landscape, all under the desperate hallucinatory vision of economic development for the city.
Since 2000, I have actively opposed and will continue to oppose constructing the museum. It would be a colossal mistake. Federal law states that the Coast Guard may create a museum in the vicinity of the Coast Guard Academy, but does neither declare that such facility is mandatory nor in the national interest.
Additionally, I oppose the Museum because:
• There are five existing and active Coast Guard museums around the country, including at the Academy, with thousands of artifacts;
• The Academy's Facility Master Plan for its museum (updated in 2010) recommends relocation to Fort Trumbull;
• The prior site selection committee appointed by the then commandant in 2005 strongly recommended Fort Trumbull;
• In 2006, the former Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection strongly urged siting the facility at the Fort to compliment the state park;
• The proposed building has the wrong orientation to take advantage of solar energy;
• The proposed pedestrian overpass is not a recommended project in the Regional Transportation Plan;
• The building is not a water dependent use on a site suitable for such development, as required under the Coastal Management Act ("CMA");
• Physical museums are an anachronism in the 21st Century; and
• It would be a gross waste of energy considering the alternative of a virtual museum using three-dimensional holographic images of all artifacts.
Although the proponents continually allege that the Coast Guard is the only branch of the services without a museum, this is not the case. The Coast Guard Museum Northwest in Seattle, Wash. is dedicated to preserving the service's heritage in the Northwest. It has thousands of artifacts; a library of over 3,000 books and periodicals; over 2,500 historical documents; clippings and vessel plans; over 15,000 photographs; numerous detailed ship models; portions of historic ships; uniforms; lenses from lighthouses and buoys; and the Coast Guard flag carried on the first Space Shuttle flight.
Further, there is the Old Coast Guard Station Museum in Virginia Beach honoring and preserving the history of Virginia's maritime heritage, coastal communities, the U.S. Lifesaving Service, and services along the Atlantic coast. In 2000, the Cape Blanco Heritage Society opened the Port Orford Lifeboat Station in Oregon as a museum and interpretive center.
Also, there is the former Coast Guard Life Saving Station, now restored as the Sleeping Bear Point Coast Guard Station Maritime Museum in Glen Haven, Mich. The exhibits focus on the U.S. Life-Saving Service and Great Lakes shipping history. In the summer, demonstrations are given of rescue drills and equipment used to fire a rescue line from shore. Finally, there is the Military Sea Services Museum, Sebring, Fla., containing artifacts and exhibits. And, don't forget the Coast Guard Alaska series on the Weather Channel.
With 137 million objects, the Smithsonian Institution has launched a new 3-D scanned hologram and printing initiative to make its collection accessible to schools, researchers and the public worldwide. Physical museums are obsolete. The Coast Guard could provide viewing of all artifacts over the Internet.
Under Coastal Management rules, the city must give the highest priority and preference to water-dependent uses requiring water access. The museum does not qualify as water dependent because it does not require such access. Locating the sailing ship Eagle at City Pier would not make the museum water dependent - it must qualify alone.
With five existing museums, the latest digital technology available for scanning and displaying artifacts on the worldwide web, the lack of water dependency, the incorrect orientation of the building for solar access, the problematical future of funding for operations, and a modernistic structure defiling the historic landscape, the preferred alternative is a virtual Internet museum.
However, if a museum is to be built, it should be in Fort Trumbull.

Urinary incontinence is the loss of voluntary bladder control causing leakage of urine. This temporary or chronic condition has multiple mechanisms and many causes. Each cause has its own methods of diagnosis and its own treatment plan.
Urinary bladder function is a careful balance between pressure from the bladder to empty and resistance from the sphincter (valve) at its outlet. Pressure to empty increases suddenly when the bladder reaches a certain volume.
Sphincter resistance depends not only on the strength of the muscle but also on its position. Both forces are controlled mostly by your autonomic (automatic) nervous system, the same system that regulates body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, and digestion. However, you do have control over the sphincter and can strengthen it with exercise.
Urinary incontinence is common, but treatable.What are the causes of incontinence?What are the risk factors for urinary incontinence?What are the symptoms of urinary incontinence?How is urinary incontinence diagnosed?What are the treatments for urinary incontinence?Are there screening tests for urinary incontinence?How can I reduce my risk of urinary incontinence?What questions should I ask my doctor?What is it like to live with urinary incontinence?Where can I get more information about urinary incontinence?

Denim is a sturdy cotton warp faced twill textile, in which the weft passes under two or more warp threads. This twill weave produces a famous diagonal ribbed pattern on the denim, which is distinct from cotton duck. This is typical of the majority of indigo denim that only the base nor dyed weft remains as plain white. As a result of warp-faced twill weave, one side of the textile then displays a blue warp and on the other hand shows the white weft. This is why jeans are white on the inside. Process indigo dye, in which the core of the warp threads remains white, generates fading characteristics Denim is, which are unique in comparison to each other textiles. Etymology, and origin The name "denim" comes from the French Serge De Nimes, referring to the city of Nmes. Denim traditionally colored blue with indigo dye to make blue jeans, even though "jean" previously marked differences, lighter cotton fabric. The modern use of the word "jean" comes from the French word for Genoa, Italy (genes), which were made of the first denim trousers. Denim was used in the US since the late 18th century. It was introduced in California Levi Strauss-who in 1853 during the California Gold Rush-denim fabrics importedimported from France and used to create a strong, solid pants that would later become the ubiquitous blue jeans. Dry or raw denim Dry or raw denim (in contrast with the "washed denim") is denim, which is not washed off, after it has been colored in production. Over time, denim will generally fade, which is considered desirable by some people. During the process of wear, it will be fading tend to occur in those parts of the article that receive the most stress. In a pair of jeans, these parts include the upper thighs, ankles, and the area behind the knee. After the article of clothing, the majority of washed denim articles to make them softer and reduce or eliminate shrinkage (which could lead article does not fit properly when the owner of the opera). In addition to opera, "washed denim is sometimes artificially distressed to produce" worn "look. Many complaints artificially distressed denim that is reminiscent of dry denim is faded. The jeans made of denim, dry, so faded effect on a person's body borne, and their daily life activities. This process creates what many enthusiasts feel that they are more "natural" look like appearance artificially distressed denim. In order to facilitate the natural distressing process, some wearers of dry denim refrain from washing your jeans for more than six months. Most dry denim is made from 100% cotton and comes from many different countries. In particular, the US, Zimbabwe and Japan are popular sources of cotton for the manufacture of raw denim. Some denimheads prefer denim one country to another, for its alleged durability, fade and feel. Dry denim also varies in weight, usually measured vs. weight in ounces yard denim. 12 Oz. Or less is considered light denim, 12 Oz. 16 Oz. It is considered mid-weight, and more than 16 Oz. It is considered heavy weight. Heavyweight denim is much more rigid and wear resistant, but may also take longer bear to break in and feel comfortable. Samples fading Samples fading on jeans by wearing them long periods without washing causes, have become the main allure of dry denim. Such patterns are a way of "personalizing" clothing. These patterns have specific names: Combs or combs - These are pale lines, which can be found behind the knee. Whiskers - faded stripes surrounding area crotch of the jeans. Stacks - These are created with the inseam jeans hemmed a few inches longer than the actual length of the legs. The third fabric is then folded back on top of the shoe, resulting in a faded area to form around the ankle, which extends to the area of the bar. Train tracks - They appear on items denim. This model showcases Selvage formed by two sets of coming to resemble train tracks. The selvage denim selvage is the edge of the fabric as it comes from the loom. Where are woven or knitted so that they will not fray, Ravel, or curl. Selvage denim refers to a unique type of Selvage, which is made by using the continuous transverse yarn (weft), which is passed back and forth through the vertical base beams. It is traditionally closed on both edges with a contrasting base (usually red); that is why this type of denim is sometimes referred to as the "Red Selvage." This method of weaving Selvage is only possible when using shuttle looms. Shuttle loom weaving narrower 30-inch fabric, which is on average half the width of modern shuttleless Sulzer looms. Therefore, it is necessary to move more goods to a pair of jeans from the edge of denim (about three yards). To maximize yield, most of jeans made of denim and have a wide flat out sea, which uses the entire width of the fabric, including the edges. Selvage denim has come to be associated with premium quality jeans that show end edges of the loom instead overlocked edges, which are shown on other jeans. Coloring Denim was originally colored with a dye produced from the plant INDIGOFERA tincture, but most of today denim is dyed with synthetic indigo color. In both cases, the yarn made a repeated sequence of diving and oxidation - more than dips, the stronger the color indigo. Rope dyeing is considered the best way to yarn-dyeing, it eliminates shading across the width of the fabric. The alternative "process slasher" is cheaper because it takes only one Beaming process. In rope dyeing, the Beaming done twice. Colored denim Denim fabric painting is divided into two categories: indigo dyeing and sulfur dyeing. Indigo dye produces traditional blue or shades like it. Sulfur dye produces special black and other colors such as red, pink, purple, gray, rust, mustard and green. Stretch denim Stretch denim includes an elastic component such as spandex. This creates a certain amount of "give" in garments made from stretch denim. Only a small fraction (around 3%) of the spandex in the fabric is needed to create a lot of extending the capacity of about 15%. However, this feature will shorten the life of wearing apparel. Usage Clothing Accessories Belts Bags (purses) Tote bags Furniture Bean bag chairs Lamp shades Upholstery Vehicles Between 1973 and 1975 Volkswagen Beetle made Jeans, who had all denim jacket. It also repeated this concept in some newer models. AMC offered a slender package for its Gremlin LEFT and pacer models, which was actually spun nylon to imitate denim. Jeep has also offered Levi's trim packages. Market Worldwide For 2007, the global market for denim amounted to 51600000000 USD, demand is increasing by 5% and the supply is growing by 8% a year. More than 50% of denim is produced in Asia, most of it in China, India, Turkey, Pakistan and Bangladesh. The table below shows where they are in the world of denim mills.

Pride Causes Death
Recently I was hunting for the obituary of a distant Peer relative and found a sad, yet intriguing notice about her in an Indiana newspaper of 1937.
Mary A. Peer was born in Berrien Michigan in 1857 and married Robert Curran in Michigan in 1883. At some point after her husband's death in 1889, Mary and her son Elwood Curran moved to the area of South Bend Indiana.
I don't know much about Mary but I did know she died in September 1937 so I decided to hunt on GenealogyBank for a newspaper obituary. To my surprise I found this item on page 1 of the Valparaiso Vidette Messenger published on August 19, 1937
The headline is WOMAN DYING, TOO PROUD TO TAKE CHARITY
"Because she was too proud to ask for charity, Mrs. Mary A. Curran, 82 [sic], is dying of starvation in Epworth Hospital today. She was found in bed in her shabby little shack where she lived alone...."
The article goes on to say that a neighbour decided to check on her because he hadn't seen her in three days.
"She had only a few potatoes and a sack of oatmeal in the home. She once applied for a state old-age pension but withdrew it on the protest she would have an income from her farm."
What is even sadder is that according to the article, her only son Elwood was in another hospital at the time. I am sure he would have taken care of his mother had he been able to. Mary must have lingered in her weakened state, because according to my records she did not die until September 10th, some three weeks after this article was published.
I could not find an obituary but do not have access to the South Bend Tribune where I understand there is one. Thanks to crowdsourcing on my Facebook page, I learned that the St. Joseph County Public Library has an online index to obituaries in the South Bend Tribune from 1913-present. Researchers can pay a small fee for lookups, so off I went and sure enough there were 3 entries for Mary A. Curran. I printed the request form, filled it out and will mail it today. I hope to learn more of Mary's sad story from the notices.
Poor Mary, her husband died so soon after they were married, leaving her with a very young son. To die in such sad circumstances is indeed a cruel twist of fate.

That's such a sad story - to have lived so long and to be an educated woman as well. I'm so lucky my mum has friendly, helpful neighbours (as I live at some distance from her) as I'm sure that stories like this aren't restricted to the past.
- bgwiehle said...
If her old-age pension application was denied because of income from a farm (sale? cash or share rental?), I wonder if there are land sale or municipal tax records that might shed light on why she was a pauper at her death. Did the money run out, someone fail to pay or was it another recession?
Not only would she have been a young widow with a young son but the statement that her son (at the time of the article) was in "Logansport Hospital" almost surely refers to the Logansport State Hospital (also called "Long Cliff"), which was a place lots of people ended up because their folks couldn't care for them for one reason or another, although ostensibly all were disabled by mental illness or retardation, as it was then called. It's possible she had been desperately poor for a very long time. Might be worthwhile to see if you could get any records from LSH...
- Jana Last said...
Wow. What an incredibly sad story.
- BDM said...
The newspaper article says she was starving when they took her into hospital so the degeneration was so bad it couldn't be reversed(?). Yet she lived for another three weeks. OR was she refusing food in the hospital? Hope you will tell us if you learn more. Susan provided another lead.
If you're in the mood for a slightly relevant sad tale of a spouse, see http://brendadougallmerriman.blogspot.com/2013/01/mcfadyens-part-15-black-sheep-hector.html. I suspect there are more sad tales that we don't know about yet.

Brenda - I feel so sorry for Hector's wife! Seems like Hector was a "vagabond" who couldn't settle.
But you're right, newspapers can often feel the gap even though their 19th century lurid headlines are so very dramatic.
Love the story of Hector, thank you for posting it.
- Lorine McGinnis Schulze said...
Susan - very interesting, thank you for the additional info on Logansport Hospital. I do hope to find out more about Elwood (his actual name was Robert Elwood) and what happened to him
- Lorine McGinnis Schulze said...
bgwiehle thanks for the idea re tax records. I'll see what I can find

Mourners in Brazil were shocked -- and some even fainted -- when a dead man walked into his own funeral.
The hair-raising incident appears to be a case of mistaken identity.
Both men worked as car washers, and police apparently told family members that the wrong brother had been killed, The Daily Mail reported.
The brother who was still alive, Jose Marcos Araujo, identified his brother Gilberto's body at the morgue in Alagoinhas on Sunday, police inspector Roberto Limo told The Associated Press.
He took the body to his mother's home where a wake was being held.
A few hours before the burial Monday, a friend of Gilberto's saw Jose Marcos walking down the street and told him that his family was mourning him, according to the AP.
When he showed up at his mother's house, some mourners fainted and others were so scared they ran away.
His mother, Marina Santana, was overjoyed.
"What mother wouldn't be after being told her son is dead and then sees him alive," she told reporters.

Partner Tanger outlets sets groundbreaking ceremony for Sept. 26
Mashantucket — A much-delayed groundbreaking for the outlet mall planned at Foxwoods Resort Casino is scheduled to take place this month, according to Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, one of the project's partners.
The groundbreaking "celebration" is set for Sept. 26 in the courtyard in front of Foxwoods' Grand Pequot Hotel, an announcement from Tanger says. Scheduled to attend are Steven B. Tanger, the Greensboro, N.C.-based developer's president and chief executive officer; Rodney Butler, chairman of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe, which owns Foxwoods; Gov. Dannel P. Malloy; and Scott Butera, Foxwoods' president and CEO.
"The tribe and Foxwoods are looking forward to this new and exciting development here at Mashantucket," Bill Satti, a spokesman for the tribe, said Tuesday. "They feel this new addition will enhance the pre-existing world class resort that Foxwoods is known for, and Foxwoods will continue to be one of the premier destinations for patrons and guests here in the Northeast."
Attempts to reach a Tanger spokesman were unsuccessful.
The project, first announced in February 2012, calls for 312,000 square feet of retail space linking the Grand Pequot Hotel and MGM Grand at Foxwoods, the freestanding casino built near Foxwoods' main complex.
The groundbreaking originally was set for spring 2012, then repeatedly was pushed back. Harsh winter weather and delays in securing agreements with mall tenants were blamed for delays in the start of construction this year. The mall was scheduled to open in 2014.
Tanger, among the largest owners, developers and managers of outlet shopping centers in the United States and Canada, is partnering on the project with Gordon Group Holdings of Greenwich. The Tanger Outlets at Foxwoods would be built on land the partners are leasing from the Mashantuckets.
The mall, scheduled to open next year, is expected to comprise some 80 stores, none of which has been named yet publicly.
State economists last year hailed the project as a potential boon to southeastern Connecticut's economy, providing 400 temporary constructions jobs and about 900 permanent full- and part-time jobs once built.
Tanger owns the Tanger Outlet Center off Interstate 95 in Westbrook.
Both of southeastern Connecticut's casinos have planned retail expansions in a bid to bolster their nongaming offerings.
In June, Mohegan Sun announced plans to add 200,000 square feet of space devoted to retail, entertainment and dining — the Uncasville casino's first expansion in five years.
The $50 million Downtown District is to be built next to Mohegan Sun's Winter Garage and is to include a food pavilion, a 14-screen movie theater, an upscale bowling alley and a "promenade" of shops, including Coach, Tiffany, Sephora, Tommy Bahama, Puma and others.
Two development firms, the Morristown, N.J.-based Hampshire Companies and The Bronson Companies of Beverly Hills, Calif., are partnering on the project, which they would build on land they would lease from the Mohegan Tribe, which owns Mohegan Sun.
Mohegan Sun had indicated the groundbreaking would take place this fall, with the new outlets opening in early 2015.
A Mohegan official said Tuesday he was still hoping for a groundbreaking "this year.

I was wondering about the recent tree bombing along the Boulevard. It was a delightful scene. It must have taken hours and hours to knit girdles for all those trees. Im sure there is a message in there somewhere, but only the bombers could answer that. In the meantime, I enjoined the varied knits that enhance the trunks. Wouldnt it be nice to have all the trees bombed along the Boulevard? Ill volunteer for one tree. It may take forever to knit, but Id be happy to give it a go. Susan Davies
In case you missed it, the trees in the median of East Third Avenue between 7th and 8th streets were clandestinely clad in hand-knit scarves, wraps and throws.
Not surprisingly, the incident occurred right before Snowdown.
So sit back while Action Line spins a yarn about Durangos latest form of subversive outdoor accessorization.
What happened on the Boulevard is more accurately called guerilla knitting or yarn bombing. Its a type of graffiti, only instead of spraying paint, taggers make sweaters for things.
By one account, yarn bombing began in 2004 in the Netherlands. However, a story in The New York Times points to a Texas woman named Magda Saveg as the mother of yarn bombing.
On a slow day in 2005, she knitted a blue-and-pink cozy for the door handle of her quirky boutique. It was an instant hit, and people made special trips just to see it.
Inspired, she knitted a leg warmer for a stop sign down the block. From there she slowly infiltrated Houston with her stitchery, the Times reported.
The practice of installing covert textile street art has spread worldwide, especially since the 2009 publication of Yarn Bombing: The Art of Crochet and Knit Graffiti, by Mandy Moore and Leanne Prain.
The book features inspiring photos, tutorials and tips such as wearing ninja black when hanging nefarious nocturnal knitting.
Closer to home, the local yarn bombers operate behind a woolen veil of secrecy.
But Action Line, through his extensive underground network of informants, was able to contact a member of the cable-stitch cabal.
Yup, we did it, the knitter confessed. And we are going to do it again!
Action Line pressed for details, but the yarn bombers wouldnt reveal any hints as to the target of their next project or its timeline, other than it will take a while to create enough knitting.
So the Durango yarn bombers are toiling away. As they say, no skein, no gain.
Could it be a lovely shawl for a trolley-stop shed? Perhaps there could be a slipcover for the homely mud bench in Buckley Park.
Imagine what could else be created. Action Line would love to see the Toh-Atin Native American swaddled in a gigantic knitted vest.
Whatever the yarn bombers do, it will be a surprise. And this town needs more good surprises.
Sadly, the Boulevards colorful creations have already been removed and the median restored to its original condition, featuring gray tree trunks and piles of dirty snow.
Was there a message in crafting comforters for trees?
It could be to show the uptight Boulevard Neighborhood Association can stop commercial creep from happening, but is powerless to stop subversive knitters.
Or maybe not. Maybe the local yarn bombers have no agenda at all, other than to needle Durango and keep its residents in stitches.
Email questions to firstname.lastname@example.com or mail them to Action Line, The Durango Herald, 1275 Main Ave., Durango, CO 81301. You can request anonymity if you have a bumper sticker that says Knit Happens.
