A New Year and Two New Stop Signs
Why were these stop signs put on Ellsworth Ave. at Graham St.? There is absolutely no need for them and the make it much more difficult for cyclists. What should I do to avoid this? Should I risk my life on 5th Ave., or deal with heavy traffic and poorly timed traffic lights without left turn signals on Centre Ave. The stressful trip from East Liberty to Oakland just got even more stressful because you don't want to stop unless absolutely necessary. I have never once seen a car turn off of Graham St. at this intersection. Stops signs, especially all-way stop signs should never be installed frivolously just to slow down traffic as they make cyclists have to stop even when 99.999…% of the time there is absolutely no reason to stop other than the stop sign. They also agitate motorists so mid-block speeds increase and they become more aggressive when it comes to cyclists and pedestrians.
That stop sign may be much more needed for pedestrian crossing when Negley ave bridge over the busway is under construction. This might be an alternative route for pedestrians due to the ped bridge over the busway, which is the shortest path to giant eagle from Shadyside if Negley was closed.
Though, I'm wondering if they will maintain ped access at all during construction or not.
^^slowing down traffic ABSOLUTELY helps cyclists. Enforcing said stop signs (for all users) helps even more.
I view this as a positive change.
zach pointed out a while back the data that frequent stopsigns don't actually slow down traffic. I googled it and found data supporting his view. The thinking is that too frequent stop signs cause cars to speed up between stop signs to make up for frequent stopsigns.
this is a goldilock problem.
I also can't find the studies by a google search. I think Zach knows them.
I also don't know if the stopsigns on ellsworth are too frequent or just right.
heres a decent blog post. I can't find any link to actual studies, but I also didn't do a very thorough serach.
To Get Safer Streets, Traffic Lights and Stop Signs Aren't the Answer
and a blog post with bikers involved.
For the record I just spent a week in Playa del Carmen with a car, and there's a noticeable lack of stopsigns in the street grid. However, there are a crapton of really BIG speed humps and other traffic calming devices. I don't remember the details but when coming to a 4 way intersection you know that one street has no speed calming whereas the other street has them, so if you're on the street without the calming you slow down, look, and go. If you have the calming, then you're going to be going very slowly anyway. It worked really, really well. However, the speedbumps are high. VERY high. Like crush your teeth high. Like totally destroy your car high. Like you need to be going less than 10 mph high, even in a big SUV. The grid there is also one way streets, with the 2 way avenues always devided by a central median with trees.
The system worked remarkably well, and there are all types of creatures (including dogs and cats) crossing streets down there, and every imaginable vehicle being used on the streets.
Scroll down to the Topes section-
Speed limits should be enforced. Also, why don't motorists prefer to take streets with less cyclists like Baum Blvd. or 5th Ave.? Even on these streets, motorists should expect to see the occasional cyclist, but they can easily be passed using the left passing lane. legally passing a cyclist on Ellsworth Ave. requires crossing the center line and can risk collision with oncoming traffic.
Yeah, everything would be better with enforcement. I've used the car more this year then I have in a long time. Even in a car I feel for my life sometimes, with cars running red lights & even passing me (in a car) in no-passing zones, all because I'm driving AT the speed limit. Everybody is in such a hurry, and some are just angry! Until there is political will nothing will change.
My guess is that it's a whole system problem. First, there's more than enough policing that needs to be done, so when looking at, say, preventing or responding to major crimes vs traffic enforcement, the former wins.
Second I am also guessing that when most traffic tickets hit the magistrate the points or fines disappear. So there may be the "what's the point?" Feeling by the police re enforcement.
Third, only state without local radar. Vascar is terrible. If it wasn't, everyone would be using it.
I think the radar thing is a red herring to some extent. When I was learning to drive back in the early 80's, the Pgh police routinely had Vascar speed traps all over the city. I remember seeing them on 2nd avenue in Hazelwood, Bigelow Blvd in Polish Hill, Washington Blvd. in E. Liberty, 5th ave in Shadyside and many other roads posted at 25-35 MPH but where speeds are much higher. I don't have proof, but I think they even painted 'false' white lines on some streets because drivers would see the two lines and think it might be a speed trap. (Vascar works by timing your vehicle as it passed two lines in the street about twenty feet apart)
This all went away about five years after they started using it. To my knowledge laws didn't change, it's effectiveness didn't change, but I remember the police union complaining about officers having to go to traffic court and thus missing out on getting overtime pay… Not to mention that traffic citations don't count toward an officer's points towards promotion… So it's a political thing.
Yes, Radar would be a good thing for local cops. But in time they won't use that either if traffic safety isn't a priority. Besides, they don't need Radar to enforce cars running red-lights, the four-foot rule, etc., but you hardly ever see them pulling cars over for that
A ruler is needed to enforce the four-foot rule. All that is needed to bust speeders is a camera and some computer software.
The anti-stop sign rhetoric is misplaced for two reasons.
For one, while stop signs do in fact tend to induce higher mid-block speeds, they also unquestionably lower speed through intersections. The overwhelming majority of vehicle-pedestrian/cyclist conflicts occur at at intersections, not mid-block, and vehicle speed is the factor most correlated with severe injury or death. Slowing speeds where crashes are most likely to occur is the point. Advocating against stop signs because speeds increase at locations less likely to result in crashes is throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
Two, taking residents' call for stop signs to reduce speeding at face value misunderstands their true needs, which is better access. Speeding cars intimidate one from crossing the street leading them to believe speed is the issue when in fact the lack of equitable access is to blame. An intersection that allows vehicles to freely travel unimpeded at whatever speed the driver chooses while forcing pedestrians and cyclists to rely on their best judgement of gaps in traffic in order to cross is an obvious access issue, and in no logical way can be argued to be a safer condition than if all legs of the intersection were forced to yield the right of way.
I don't know if there is data, but I'm wondering if frequent stop signs makes it more likely someone won't stop at an intersection. The "Damn there are so many stopsigns and it's impeding my progress so i'm going to roll through them." While I agree that stop signs are great for people who need to cross the street, i'm wondering if there are more likely to be hit peds if there's a tendency for people to get upset about the stopsigns and roll through intersections?
I know the solution is a) people not acting like people and actually following directions, b) adequate automated technology such that everyone has an automated car that 100% follows the rules of the road and can always spot peds, or c) police doing more enforcement, but it doesn't seem that any of those options are likely anytime soon.
These stop signs in particular make it easier for people to access to the pedestrian bridge that goes over the busway at Graham. As Benzo stated, the pedestrian bridge will get used more often when the city eventually closes the Negley Ave. bridge over the busway for renovation/replacement. Not sure when that is going to happen. They're also good for access to the bus stop at the Graham/Ellsworth corner, and for people that live north of Ellsworth to get to Walnut Street. I can't think of any downside. If stop signs drive you crazy (either in a car or on a bike) then you should have already been avoiding Ellsworth.
If there was a bypass street through Shadyside with no stop signs, traffic would surely be faster and more dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists on it. A good example of this is Mossfield in Garfield which drivers treat like a racetrack. Same with some of the roads in Schenley Park.
The "Damn there are so many stop signs and it's impeding my progress so i'm going to roll through them."
This is a very common concern that passively works on the assumption that driver compliance at intersections with infrequent stop signs is good, which is absolutely false. Drivers rolling through stop signs should be considered the baseline, because it's reality, and any change in traffic control compared to that state.
While I agree that stop signs are great for people who need to cross the street, i'm wondering if there are more likely to be hit peds if there's a tendency for people to get upset about the stopsigns and roll through intersections?
Even in this situation, the top sign has succeeded. Pedestrians have greater than an 80% chance of survival when struck at speeds of 25mph compared to about a 10% chance of survival when struck at speeds of 40mph. Simply inducing speeds that would be considered a "roll through" almost guarantees no one will lose their life, which ultimately is the goal.
Crash rates are a red herring. Crash severity is what matters. This is the essence of Vision Zero design.
I think cyclists should be exempt from all stop signs on Ellsworth Ave. except those at Neville St., Devonshire St., and Spahr St. where there seems to be a fair amount of cross traffic and/or sight lines are poor.

Also, about 15 years ago, someone could turn off of Freeport Rd. onto Western Ave. and not have to stop until they got to 2nd St. After that, there was an all-way stop sign at 3rd St. and you could continue to 5th St. without stopping.
First, all-way stop signs were installed at 1st St. and after a few years, they were installed at 4th St. A one-way stop sign was also installed on southbound Brilliant Ave. at 1st St.

I would like to know if "Except bikes" signs like those mounted under the "Do not enter" signs on 3rd Ave. can also be mounted under the stop signs on Ellsworth Ave.
I do not live in the city limits. What council district is Ellsworth Ave. located in? (The part with all the stop signs.)
- This reply was modified 1 year, 6 months ago by zzwergel.
A project for you. Start on this link and find it.
If the point of the stop signs is to give pedestrians the right-of-way to cross Ellsworth, why should bikes be exempt from stopping? Stopping at one of these stop signs will literally add two seconds to a bike trip, while making the neighborhood safer for people on foot.
Basic physics. An object in motion wants to stay in motion. An object at rest wants to stay at rest. Essentially, more force needs to be exerted in order to get the bike moving again once it is stopped. Also today, I rolled through it going from Oakland to RIDC Park.

^We often admonish drivers for their failure to slow down and obey the rules. How often have we all stated something like, 'if they had only waited two seconds!'
Now you want to act as privileged as the that impatient driver by DELIBERATELY ignoring a stop sign that you feel shouldn't be there. Sure, the likelihood of a car/bike/pedestrian coming the other way is slim, but how is this action that much different than the driver parking in the bike-lane because there are so few cyclists using the bike-lane anyhow? (this is rhetorical, I don't want you to respond with vehicle code citations, etc.)
To be clear, I don't think you need to put-a-foot-on-the-ground at every stop sign, but you do need to treat each and every one as though you will in fact stop should you need to. And you should stop if another vehicle or pedestrian is anywhere near crossing the intersection even if you think you will ultimately have the right of way by getting there first. It's a stop sign – STOP. To do otherwise is to not only be dangerous, but to be a prick.
There was NEVER a stop sign there before and I have NEVER once seen a pedestrian trying to cross there, or a car turning off of Graham St. All this stop sign does is make getting through the traffic light at Negley Ave. on green impossible. Sure, your chances were quite low to begin with, but now you CHANCE IS ZERO. It also AGITATES all road users and makes them MORE AGGRESSIVE.
Sorry if I sound harsh, Cyclists do not have blind spots like cars do.
As I've gotten older (or maybe it's the meditation? It really does work!) I've learned to accept red lights as enforced rest time for my middle aged body.
If the worst part of your day is hitting a red light, then your day is seemingly going quite well .
@zz – I actually used to cross the street there or at filbert daily when I lived in Shadyside and took the bus to Oakland. My bus stop was right at that intersection with the stop sign. I wasn't the only one catching the bus there.
- This reply was modified 1 year, 6 months ago by Benzo.
Oh yeah. Bus stops need stop signs on Ellsworth. Trees make it hard for peds to see traffic and vice versa. Plus people are more likely to cross at bus stops. Bikes and cars can wait a bit if it means less people getting whacked by cars. There are plenty of other routes to avoid Ellsworth if you want to trade safety for speed.
Do you mean taking high-speed, traffic light filled Baum Blvd. to Morewood Ave. to take advantage of the protected left at that intersection? BTW, Why do Baum Blvd, East Liberty Blvd., Penn Ave. (Larimer and Point Breeze), 5th Ave. (Shadyside) and Freeport Rd. (Aspinwall, Waterworks, and O'Hara) have a posted speed limit of 35 MPH. despite being in densely populated areas with lots of poorly timed traffic lights? That just encourages aggressive driving which is not only dangerous in these situations, but is very fuel inefficient. The traffic lights are not going to wait for you before turning red.
A case can and should be made that every street in the city should have a 25 mph max. Ellsworth and others with a lot of pedestrian traffic, 20. And !#(&$;" *enforce it*.
Also, why is Allegheny River Blvd. posted 45 MPH for most of it's length before dropping down to 25MPH in Verona? Freeport Rd. between Powers Run Rd. and the Harmar Twp. line is posted 55 MPH! The same stretch of Freeport Rd. has shoulders on both sides that can accommodate pedestrians and cyclists. The shoulders, especially on the river side of Allegheny River Blvd. are very narrow and do not have enough room for cyclists to dodge pedestrians and other obsticles without entering the travel lane.
What I would say is any road that is not an expressway that has a speed limit of 35 MPH or more should be dropped by 10 MPH. Any speed limit posted as 30 MPH or lower should stay as is.
I'm with you on that. But you're talking posted limits, not ambient travel speeds. Simply getting enforcement on existing limits will be a gargantuan task. I've said this before, but signs mean darn near nothing. Any posted limit currently means to drive at a minimum of five over that, and probably 10-15 over that.
Maybe, we should get a group of about 30 cyclists together every few weeks at random times to show that this street that runs through a residential neighborhood that likely has children and pets in it belongs to everyone and motorists should not claim a monopoly on it. The same should be done along Penn Ave. in Point Breeze, 5th Ave. in Shadyside and Oakland, Baum Blvd., Forbes Ave., Freeport Rd., Perry Hwy., and Library Rd. All of which can be unavoidable in certain circumstances.
That's what Flock, and before that, Critical Mass, demonstrated.
Maybe we should do this every day that the weather permits for a while. Also, It should be done farther away from the city in places like Castle Shannon, Bethel Park, Penn Hills, Churchill, East Pittsburgh, Pitcairn, Monroeville, McCandless, Ross, and Cranberry so that the suburbanites will get an understanding of this pressing issue.
FYI, There is already a crosswalk on Ellsworth Ave. at Filbert St. Why can't pedestrians cross there or at Aiken Ave.?
@zzwergel – Probably because it's easier to cross where there is a stop sign?
If I still lived on Ivy street and used that bus stop, I would definitely prefer to cross at the stop sign than the filbert crosswalk, especially during busy times of the day. Drivers here do not have a strong culture of being aware and alert to stop for pedestrians waiting at a crosswalk.
If that's the case, shouldn't the stop signs be placed at Filbert St. since there is no painted crosswalk at Graham St.?
You would think they would want to paint them at the new sign, but since the signs were put in over the winter, they probably don't have the painting gear out now. I bet that gets painted when they start paving in the spring/summer.

I know you're feeling it, mama.
Because I have some dear friends who are feeling it right now too; that notched up, wild ride that comes with having kids in school during the month of May.
It's the time of year where it seems perfectly acceptable to squeeze all the things into the last few weeks of school. Breaking the schedule, incentivizing and sugar-hyping our kiddos and wreaking havoc on our capacity to be present and mindful for all the things.
I've been on both sides of this crazy. As a teacher/educator and as a parent (both married + single). I want you to know dear mama, that I see you and no, you're not crazy, it's simply too much.
Whether you think it's a big deal or not, there is pressure to participate in the May (End of the Year) Calendar Crazy.
The field days and field trips. The teacher and assistant appreciation weeks. Prom for the older kiddos and programs + parties for the littles. There are permission slips to be signed, fees to be paid, graduation parties to be planned, gowns to be purchased. There are even some schools who are selling supplies for the coming year. And don't even get me started on Kindergarten "graduation"…
It's too much.
And our kiddos are watching. They are listening to and are affected by how we respond we respond it all. And because they don't have the filter we ought to, they carry that stress with them – some even share your complaints and concerns aloud. With their friends. In front of their teachers. Let's be real, some of your kiddos straight up tell the teacher what you've said or how you've responded.
They are watching the pressure we put on them as a result of the pressure we're putting upon ourselves. We say that it doesn't matter what they wear or how they do their hair, but who they are and how they treat others. Yet, we are frenzied. Baking and buying for their teachers because of the pressure that has been added in the most recent decade. Trying to proclaim that all of this this is how we care for those in this profession as handle the end of the school year.
One of the things I like to write about in this space is tending to one's soul. Which essentially means digging deeply beyond what's happening on the surface, beyond what someone is saying or how a child may be behaving to get to the root of what is happening; essentially to learn "why".
I don't think the children are at the root of the May frenzy. And I don't think the teachers or schools are either. I believe it's the parents.
Here's why…
There are thousands and thousands of schools in our country that do not have the luxury to give up instruction time for these non-academic activities. Many of the kids that even get to experience field trips and parties with non-GMO, peanut-free zones are children from upper-middle and upper-class homes. And while it is not bad for parents to want to have and offer these things to their kiddos, even if the school did not take the field trips and give them outside experiences, the parents could afford to – and do it themselves or pay someone to do so.
This is a way that we impose what we think happens in our homes on others. Changing what is "acceptable" in society, shifting the bar on the "shoulds."
It's pressure. Absolutely unnecessary. And in my opinion, working against what is most beneficial to our children. Feeding into what is important to us as adults, rather than what is best for the kids.
They are so much more simple in their desires until we load some of our own on them.
I'm not here to cause trouble, strike up disunity or create tension in your schools or in your homes. I also know that I'm not speaking for every child, teacher, school administration or parent.
But, I want to encourage you to take a breath before you agree to any or all of the things this May. And if this post is too late and the thought of bucking the system (even a small part of it) is giving you hives, then this year, I just want you to let some of these ideas swirl in whatever brain/soul space you have for it. You can come back to it next year, or tackle some or one of the things for one of your children.
1 • Draft ONE letter or email to all of your child(ren)'s teachers telling them your new approach to May and why you're doing it this way.
Create a draft/template that allows you to leave room and personalize some of the qualities and talents that you really appreciate about that child's teacher or your child's experience in that classroom or school this year. Be sure to save it because you'll likely want to keep it for next year.
This type of gift for the end of the year is going to be wonderful for the teacher who feels loved by "words of affirmation". And it costs you some time, but also saves you some if you do this annually.
Don't feel comfortable telling them what you're gonna do (it took me years, friend)? Then send a very short email – one paragraph max – asking them to select one thing from your personalized list; be sure you know you can deliver all of the options you offer. Be sure your list avoid more stress and crazy for yourself and your people.
2 • Game plan with your kiddo(s) ahead of time which events are most important for them to have your support for.
Explain to your children that you'll be taking a more strategic approach to ending the school year this year. That making it through May without a meltdown, a crying jag or eating all of the treats for their party is going to be better for you, but also for them. And then let them know that you will all celebrate together in your own special way when school is over.
Try to lay out all of the school requests now and ask your kiddos to choose one or two that they would like you to be present for and why. Then choose the activities that are going to allow you to be present without feeling like you're trying to do it all or letting down the other people who rely on you.
If your children are in the second grade or younger, I suggest you tell them what you're going to do. Third – fifth graders? Give them a couple of "workable for you too" choices. Sixth – high schoolers? Be grateful if they want you anywhere near their school and move heaven and earth to get there.
3 • Simply say "no" to your PTA/PTO Pals.
Not, "I'm so sorry I can't help you bake 2,400 cookies by next Tuesday". Or "I can't this year but you can count on me for xyz".
It's just "no".
Not sure what to say no to this May?
If you have to switch around what your kiddos are most excited about to help this person, then the answer is just simply, "No sweet friend, I'm unable to help you make that happen."
It gets easier, I promise. Giving your friend that sweet, direct unapologetic no means she's that much closer to finding someone else that can say yes.
4 • Plan a day of rest for yourself before the kids are out of school.
Don't deprive yourself of an appointment to do something you enjoy in order to help keep the crazy train going. Schedule yourself in now. Like, right now. Try to avoid waiting until everyone else is scheduled before you schedule yourself.
For some, it may seem that you are bucking the system. For others, maybe even just one sweet mama new to how this all works, you may be the breath of fresh air and hope that she needs in watching you give yourself permission to step off the rollercoaster.
5 • Speak up about this stress in a loving, constructive way.
But, do it in October…
While you're in the drive-through lane, pull up the Notes App on your phone and jot down your thoughts about why this time of year is not working or is stressful for you, your bank account, family and especially your children. And then, in October, respectfully reach out to the PTA board and/or an administrator to let them know that you have some thoughts and concerns you'd like to share.
This is a tricky one. You can end up meeting a lot of resistance or end up with a new position on the board (or both)! If that's your goal then I hope it goes well for you. But if it isn't, be sure to include that what you share.
If you need an extra boost, think of a friend with more kiddos than you, now your back and open your mouth.
Parents have a lot of pull in our schools. I've seen it from the inside as a teacher and especially as an administrator.
The "right" children have the "right" parents who are often more vociferous advocates. They are louder, more present, more certain. And though we aren't "supposed" to, oftentimes administration caves to what those parents want, forgetting to advocate to have what's best – in a learning environment – for kids.
Keep this in mind.
Advocating for your child doesn't mean getting everyone on board with your way of thinking. Speaking up and sharing what you will and won't be doing for the benefit of your child is your responsibility – as long as it isn't about bending the law or breaking the rules, the school should be willing to hear you.
While speaking up for yourself and your people, you may be inadvertently helping that single parent who is overwhelmed with just getting their littles to/from school, keeping money in their lunch accounts and managing the household on their own (speaking from personal experience on all of those). They may not have the capacity to juggle all of the things and your pulling back and voicing some "outside the box thinking" could be a way to lovingly advocate for them and their kiddos (their bank accounts, the schedules and their mental health) too.
I hope that at least one of these tips can help you survive and quite possibly thrive this May – your kiddos too! And that they can help you put some solid practices into place for the benefit of your family throughout the rest of the year.
Some of you are ahead of the game and have your May mastered. If that's you, please share some of your recommendations in the comments below.
And no matter what, keep your eye on the prize. Summer is within reach!

Time-saver tip: Substitute 1 (11-oz.) can mandarin orange segments for the fresh orange.
How to Make It
Bring first 3 ingredients to a boil in a 3-qt. saucepan over high heat; boil, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved (about 4 to 5 minutes). Reduce heat to medium, and cook 10 minutes or until mixture is reduced by half. Remove from heat, and stir in mint. Let stand 5 minutes.
Pour mixture through a fine wire-mesh strainer into a bowl, discarding mint. Scrape seeds from vanilla bean into bowl; whisk until blended. Reserve vanilla bean pod for garnish.
Cut 1 cantaloupe half into 10 thin wedges. Cut 2 thin wedges from remaining half of cantaloupe; reserve remaining cantaloupe for another use. Place cantaloupe, raspberries, orange sections, and honeydew in a 13- x 9-inch baking dish; pour warm syrup over fruit. Cover and chill 3 to 24 hours. Remove fruit from syrup using a slotted spoon. Arrange on a serving platter. Serve syrup with fruit. Garnish, if desired.
*1 Tbsp. vanilla extract may be substituted. Stir in with mint.
Note: Be sure to scrub cantaloupe rind with a vegetable brush before cutting into wedges.

This trip was a little ways back in mid-April, just getting around to writing it up now. My wife and I flew into Vegas, rented a car, and headed out into the desert for a long weekend. A little background on Joshua Tree National Park – It's in the southern California desert where the Colorado and Mojave deserts meet, was designated a national monument in 1936, and is a relatively young park, as it wasn't converted to National Park status until 1994. If you like deserts, Joshua Tree is a must see, one of those places you can enjoy hiking on an intense trail, or just relaxing on a boulder watching the scenery. Due to its relatively short distance from Los Angeles, it gets very crowded on weekends, but isn't too bad on weekdays, especially in late spring and early fall. It's also great for stargazing, more so in the southern part of the park.
An interesting tidbit, and the basis for this post, is that mining and ranching occurred on the property all the way to the mid-20th century, and quite a bit of evidence of activity is still there. I'm going to cover mostly automotive photos, but there are also a decent amount of structures scattered around the park, too.
Our first encounter was on the easy Ryan Ranch trail, near the ranch's pump house. One six cylinder engine, I believe a Chevrolet Stovebolt Six. Behind it is a partial chassis (I believe a Ford Model A), with a flathead four cylinder.
Due to their proximity to the pump house, I am assuming these were used to run a well pump, then discarded when they broke down.
The next day we hit paydirt on the Wall Street Mill trail. This one takes you to an old stamp mill where gold ore was processed. It's a flat trail, but with deep sand in places, so not always the easiest going. My wife benefited heavily from her hiking poles. Our first sighting was a ways off the main trail, near the remains of an old bunkhouse. We'll get back to it after we've made it to the mill.
Getting close to the mill, a fender and a rear body panel sat just to the side of trail. I'm not good enough at spotting to identify what they were from, though I'm guessing they were originally from a touring car.
Arriving at the mill, this truck appears out of the bushes. While it's the most complete vehicle we've seen up close so far, it will also be the start of a trend. Most features that could easily allow one to identify the make have long since disappeared, likely taken by vandals or souvenir seekers.
A little research online pointed me towards the car being a '29 or 30' Lincoln, converted into a truck (another trend out here, where the cars needed to earn their keep). Based on the cowl design, with the center vent, and the four spoke steering wheel, I tend to agree, that it is indeed a '29-'30 Lincoln. Kind of fancy for the desert.
A bit more down the trail, just past the mill, and there's another Lincoln. This time, an open truck. I wonder if the rear body panel earlier on the trail came from this one. What was really nice about it was the engine was still there.
A flathead V8 with the intake and exhaust manifolds inside the V. So cool!
Another neat feature was this spyglass for the oil level. No need to dirty your hands with a dipstick. Judging from the engine number (assuming it's the original engine), I think this a 1930 model.
I'm not sure what the bed came from, off hand I'd guess a Ford Model AA pickup.
On the return, we headed off onto a side trail, past the bunkhouse, to get a closer look at the first car we saw. This one is a bit more of an enigma.
A close look at the engine, showed a flathead six cylinder, which was fairly common back in the 20's.
But, take a closer look, the distributor is in the center, and despite being an inline engine, it has two cylinder heads. That made it really easy to figure out the drivetrain. I believe it has to be a 1926-1932 Pontiac. Depending on the year, the engine was rated anywhere from 40-60 HP. Here's where things get difficult, though. On every picture I found of Pontiacs from that era, the cowl was not as simple as the one here.
I'd stake a guess this thing is a 1920's Pontiac chassis with a different cowl, and a homemade bed. Haven't been able to identify the cowl, I originally thought it might be from a Model T, but am doubting that now. Any ideas? Here's a pic of what's left of the dash, if it'll help. It's also possible it is a Pontiac cowl, and I just didn't do enough searching.
If you're ever out in Southern California, and have the time, I'd highly recommend heading out to Joshua Tree. Beyond what I've pictured above, the whole park is absolutely gorgeous. Get out on a trail early and you might have it all to yourself for a while.

Spinach Wrap Salad
|Spinach Wrap Salad
I am in love with this salad. The wraps are creamy. The blueberries are sweet. The vinaigrette is tart and tangy. It's just a flavorful and satisfying (and unique) salad.
The creation came from a craving of, you got it, both a wrap and a salad. Instead of adding the lettuce in the wrap itself I created this because, well, I needed more veggies in my diet, more than I could stuff in a tortilla wrap!
If you think it's too 'girly'… my hubs loved it as well! (His food critiques and tummy happiness are important to me!)
Make wrap using spinach and cream cheese mixture. Slice into medallions.
Place spring salad mix in bowl.
Top lettuce with blueberries and spinach wraps.
Spinach Wrap Salad
- 1 bag Spring Mix Salad greens
- 1/2 pint blueberries
- Whole wheat flour tortilla wraps
- Spinach spread
- Lemon and Herb Vinaigrette
- Place salad greens in bowl. Top with Spinach Wraps and blueberries. Pour Lemon and Herb Vinaigrette over all. Enjoy!
For Spinach Spread:
- /3 c frozen spinach, thawed and drained
- oz cream cheese, softened
- T sour cream
- T mayonnaise
- tsp minced garlic
- T feta cheese
- dash of red pepper and salt
- Mix together all ingredients until creamy and spread on flour tortilla. Roll and slice 1/2 inch thick.
*You could have it as a side salad as is or add grilled chicken for a meal.

The landscapes of Maharashtra alone could depict the contrasts that are ever-present in India. As with the inner districts, the outskirts of Pune show grand, tall buildings and a few mansions, with a distinct oriental style. Underneath the larger-than-life billboards advertising for housing projects, electrical items and university courses, India's rural majority goes on about its daily routine. The small slums on the road leaving Pune seem untouched by the surrounding expansion, hard to miss in a landscape filled by skyscraper skeletons.
Only a few miles down, quickly the city gives way to dry, brown mountains filled with green trees and bushes, a seemingly impossible sight in a heat of 35+ degrees.
A few derelict houses are scattered on those. And still more billboards.
Every once in a while, a man is waiting on the side of the road, sitting. Then a hut, underneath which another three are chatting, legs up on a table and barefoot. A man sleeping under a tree.
While the mountains seem to have receded, halfway through the journey a residential area pops up. The small, one storey houses scattered on the plains remind of the cottages of the south of France. Most are similar, if not identical. Back to green, natural land. A few mansions. Unfinished construction sites.
A billboard. More colour pops up in the form of yellow flowers on the trees. On the bushes, the flowers are pink. Sometimes, the highway to Mumbai seems to be the only man-made feature disturbing the natural landscape, now filled with vegetation: it seems clear we are approaching the coast, and the humidity will reach another level once in the state capital.
Palms trees have multiplied, the houses have grown bigger, sometimes turning into mansions turning their backs to the mountains.
The road gets tighter as we start climbing the mountains, and the tunnels multiply. The bumps shaking our coach get closer and harder.
As we approach Mumbai, the traffic instantly slows down and gets congested on in the opposite direction. It is not yet 9am; the sun is now high up in the sky, the heat fills everything around. Nature takes a step back to leave space for the city and its 20 million inhabitants, for whom the day is slowly starting, as a dense fog surrounds it.

India is a country with diversified customs and cultures. People following various traditions live here, their way of dressing also differ from each other. The traces of Indians being fashionable can be found out from the ancient remains of Harappa and Mohenjodaro civilizations. After the independence, globalization is being witnessed in the Indian fashion industry, due to which changes have occurred in the style of Indian dressing.
Styles of wearing saris and salwar-kameez have changed. The look is more cosmopolitan than region-specific. Different styles of blouses like katori style, halter-neck, back button blouses, high neck blouses, puffed sleeve blouses, etc. have become the hot favorite among women. The average lengths of the blouses have decreased. Saris are draped mostly in traditional back pallo style or gujarati style. Indian fashion scene is greatly influenced by its films. For example Mumtaz style sari draping inspired by yester-year heroine Mumtaz. Here sari is tightly draped around the body.
As far as salwar-kameez is concerned numerous styles and patterns can be given to this garment. For instance the kameez can be long, short, A-line, skin tight, etc. Such variations can be done to salwar as well as dupattas. Modern version of kameez is known as kurti, it could be coupled with jeans, pants or churidar. It has taken the form of Indo-western outfit. People in western countries too have started wearing kurtis.

On the move: Why secondary cities aren't always second best
Your first choice of destination might not necessarily always be your best bet
Many travellers globe-hop according to curated bucket lists that contain some of the most famous landmarks in the world. Who doesn't want to see Paris's Eiffel Tower, London's Big Ben or New York's Statue of Liberty?
Typically, these tourist draws are located in a country's most-visited cities, and when they arrive in such destinations, travellers know they're going to have to deal with long queues, crowded restaurants and inflated hotel rates. But we do it anyway because, let's be honest, most of our bucket lists couldn't be completed without seeing them.
But once you've visited the landmarks, what next? After a trip to Porto in the north of Portugal a few weeks ago, I think I have the answer. Move away from the hotspots and visit another part of the country. You'll still find plenty worth seeing.
Emirates has just launched flights to Porto, so the city is gearing up to welcome a new batch of travellers from the Middle East. Going from my own experience, tourists who journey to this waterfront city about 300 kilometres north of Portugal's capital, Lisbon, definitely won't be disappointed.
Porto is truly welcoming. Expect helpful concierge staff and waiters that are more than happy to recommend their favourite dishes. That's one of the things you notice when comparing a secondary city such as Porto (which welcomes about 1.6 million visitors a year, according to the Institute for Tourism Planning and Development), to its big sister Lisbon, where more than 4.5 million tourists flock annually.
Granted, there are small queues for tourists keen to cruise down the Douro River, but waiting times are about 10 minutes. Compare that to somewhere like Amsterdam, where tourists wait for hours to take boat tours of its popular waterways.
The tallest building in Porto is the Clerigos Tower. It is 76 metres tall, but arrive early and you'll have the whole place to yourself. Climb up the narrow stairwells, past the original bell chamber – still used occasionally – and out on to the viewpoint, and you'll feel like you're the city's only visitor. The entrance fee is also only €5 (Dh20).
When it comes to hotels, even some of the best options, such as the Pestana Vintage Porto Hotel – World Heritage Site, offer reasonable rates year-round. Coupled with more than 2,000 years of history, it's one of the best places to explore the city's Ribeira Square. Also, don't worry if you don't have a dinner reservation. Find a place you like the look of, give the waiter your name, grab a drink nearby and you'll have a table set up in no time.
This isn't limited to Portugal. The rise of secondary cities across the world is notable. As airlines open up more direct flights to more destinations, talented designers, curators, artists and chefs are returning to their regional roots to breathe new life into their home towns.
Look, for example, to Sao Paulo, a place often overlooked in favour of Rio de Janeiro's natural beauty, but which is becoming a foodie hotspot, or Rotterdam in the Netherlands, a city that offers less crowded streets than Amsterdam, served with an edge of cool.
Read More
Skip the shockingly expensive hotel rates in the Dam and check-in at Rotterdam's reasonably priced Hotel New York, in the former office building of the Holland America Lines, where many emigrants last stood on European soil before setting sail for a new life in North America. It's captivating.
If you're seeking a place where you can really get under a destination's skin, pinpoint that big city you were planning to visit and then shift your focus a bit.

Osteoporosis can be clinically diagnosed in individuals who have had a fragility fracture, irrespective of BMD,1 particularly if the fracture occurs at the hip or spine. Fragility fractures are used to measure the burden of osteoporosis, since osteoporosis in and of itself exhibits no clinical presentations such as pain or debility.
There is no one national database that captures the number of all hip and spinal fractures and estimates how many additional people have fractures without BMD-defined osteoporosis. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have estimated at least 250,000 people age 65 years and older are hospitalized for hip fractures each year, using the National Hospital Discharge Survey (NHDS). Nearly all (95%) hip fractures are caused by falling, usually falling sideways.1
Another comprehensive database for evaluation of the total number of hospitalized fractures is the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's (AHRQ) Nationwide Inpatient Sample [1] (NIS), and is used throughout this site to estimate burden. The NIS includes more than 8 million inpatient hospitalizations each year from all payers in the United States, and is representative of 95% of all hospitalizations in the US. Among women 55 years and older, there were almost 1.7 million hospitalizations for fragility fractures in 2011. Hip fractures were the most common (23%) fractures requiring hospitalization, representing 325,200 hip fractures. Hospitalizations for clinically evident spine fractures (8.4%), representing 245,800 patients, was the second most common type of fragility fracture. For 92% of hospitalizations for hip fracture, this was the primary, or first, diagnosis; for spine fractures, 46% were the primary diagnosis. (Reference Table 5.2.1 PDF [2] CSV [3])
Relying on hospitalized fractures may underestimate the true prevalence of fragility fractures in the United States, since many fractures do not require hospital treatment and approximately two-thirds of all vertebral fractures are not clinically diagnosed.2 An analysis of the AHRQ NIS and National Emergency Department Sample (NEDS), and the CDC National Center for Health Statistics National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS–Outpatient) and National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS–Physician Offices) for the years 2010 and 2011, showed 4.3 million fragility fracture visits, of which only 18% were hospital discharge visits. Wrist and arm fractures are the most likely fragility fractures to be treated outside a hospital. (Reference Table 5.2.1 PDF [2] CSV [3])
Women are more likely than men to have an osteoporosis diagnosis and to have a fragility fracture. Hospital discharges in 2011 with a fragility fracture diagnosis for women were more than twice the number of discharges in men with the same diagnosis (404,300 discharges for women; 159,500 discharges for men). This difference is evidenced for fragility fractures at all sites, and is also representative of emergency department (ED) visits with a fragility fracture diagnosis.
Age also is a major factor among people diagnosed with a fragility fracture, with people aged 80 years and older representing twice the rate of those between the ages of 70 and 79 years.
Overall, hospital discharges for fragility fractures accounted for 2.6% of hospital discharges for any diagnosis in 2011, and 2.0% of all ED visits. Among women, fragility fractures accounted for 3.5% of all hospital discharges and 2.6% of all ED visits. Among people aged 80 years and older, fragility fractures accounted for 6.4% of all hospital discharges and 4.9% of all ED visits. (Reference Table 5.2.2 PDF [5] CSV [6])
A more detailed discussion of sex and age differences in osteoporosis and fragility fractures can be found in the Special Populations section of this site in Sex and Gender [7] and Aging [8].
Although the number of hospital discharges for hip fractures has increased in recent years due to an aging population, several studies indicate a decreasing rate of hip fractures among white women and men, both in the United States and worldwide, by as much as an annualized 1.5% per year since the early 1990s.1,2,3,4,5 One recent study reports a reduction in the 10-year hip fracture probability for the white population, based on an updated study of hospital discharges using the National Inpatient Sample (NIS).6
The most recent national examination of hip fracture trends shown a decline in the age-adjusted incidence rate of fracture of 24.5% in women and 19.2% in men from 1995 to 2005.7 Racial and ethnic differences in the declines in hip fractures incidence have been evaluated. For example, a Medicare population study of hip fractures between 2000 and 2009 reported statistically significant declines in White men and women; however, due to smaller numbers, a decline among Black and Hispanic women is not statistically supported.8 Another study of hip fractures among Hispanics reported an increase in hip fractures in this population.9 Given these declines, the US version of the 10-year fracture probability calculator, FRAX, has been undated.
While declines in hip fracture incidence is being observed, fractures remain a concern because there is some indication the reduction in hip fractures is being offset with fractures in other sites, particularly vertebral fractures, due in large part to extended longevity.4

I still don't know what that chattering was last time I was out detecting, but there seem to be a lot of complaints about the Deus being less stable since the recent software upgrade to v3. Credit to XP – they have listened to the various whinges and come up with a patch which supposedly fixes the reported problems, so this morning I upgraded to v3.1.
Will it solve the chattering problem? No idea.

On Wednesday, June 5 at around 6.30 a.m., somebody took a beautiful cactus plant in a pot from our yard. This plant was a memorial plant, given to us when our son passed away three years ago.
Would the person who took this potted plant please return it? This theft has caused our family a lot of grief.

Get Comfortable with being Uncomfortable
Getting comfortable with being uncomfortable is one of life's biggest lessons, to reach out of your comfort zone and experience new things. Aside from it being a huge lesson, it's also a common and relatable one too, many people will talk about how life begins at the end of your comfort zone. It's not because they're… Continue reading Get Comfortable with being Uncomfortable
The Pursuit of Perfectionism
Human beings, as you already know are a very advanced species, we grow, we develop and we evolve. Yet this isn't limited to recent generations it's something that has occurred throughout history, and although I speak of the natural process of evolution our growth can also apply to our mentality. Many of the things we do, whether it… Continue reading The Pursuit of Perfectionism

When Does This Is Us Return 2019?
Everyone Take a Deep Breath — This Is When This Is Us Will Return in 2019
It's been nearly two months since This Is Us blew our minds with the season three midseason finale, and honestly, our heads are still reeling. Not only do we finally learn who the mysterious "her" is in the flash-forward, but we find out that Jack's brother, Nicky, is actually still alive in present day! Since the episode left things on such a cliffhanger, we're running wild with theories about what's to come. Will Rebecca die? Are Randall and Beth divorced in the flash-forward? Did Jack know that his brother was actually alive?
Well, thankfully it won't be too much longer before we get answers to those questions. After taking a Winter hiatus, the show will return on Tuesday, Jan. 15. Until then, we'll just be replaying the midseason finale and coming up with even more theories.

Safe, Effective, and Natural Ways to Fall Asleep
Sleep better for longer without pills or prescriptions. There are dozens of prescription and over-the-counter sleep aids that you can help you drift off faster and stay snoozing for longer. The effectiveness of these sleep aids varies, but what is universal is that they all make it harder to sleep without them. The longer you rely on them, the more you will come to depend on them to get the rest you need.
It's always preferable to rely on natural ways to fall asleep instead. That way you don't compromise or complicate your natural sleep cycle, potentially putting your overall health at risk. Luckily, there are a lot of them that actually work. Try these the next time you're struggling to get some sleep:
Rocking Chair
Babies, of course, love to be rocked as they fall asleep, and people have been shown to fall asleep faster when lying in a softly swinging hammock. To mimic this motion, try sitting in a rocking chair for a while before getting into bed.
Listening to soft, calming music as you are drifting off can help you to relax at bedtime. Just make sure your selection doesn't have any jarring sections and is set to turn off after you've fallen asleep.
Counting Backward
Counting sheep works better if you count backward. It forces you to concentrate more on the numbers, which can help take your mind off the distractions and worries that are keeping you up.
Light Yoga
Tension built up in your muscles over the course of the day could be what's sabotaging your sleep. Before bed, practice 15 minutes of light yoga – shoulder and neck rolls, back and arm stretches, etc. Loosening up your body before bed makes it easier to sink into sleep. If more members of your family or friends need to helping to get to sleep, ask them to join!
Drink Cherry Juice
Caffeine and alcohol can keep you up. Cherry juice, by contrast, contains high levels of melatonin which the body uses to regulate sleep cycles. Try drinking a small glass of tart cherry juice twice a day.
It just makes sense that you would have trouble sleeping if you're going to bed with too much energy. Practice regular aerobic exercise to help fatigue yourself in a natural way. Just be sure to finish your exercises long before you plan to sleep so that your heart is not racing as you lie in bed.
Be Consistent
Following a regular sleep schedule can help train your body to tune down and turn off at night. Try to sleep and wake at the same times every day, even if you feel especially exhausted one night or have the opportunity to sleep in on the weekend.
For more sleep tips, check out this related post: "Life Hacks – How to Improve the Quality of Your Sleep."
A Beloit Mattress Leads to Great Sleep
Something very important is missing from the list above – your mattress. If the one you sleep on is old and uncomfortable, dirty and smelly, or possibly even bad for your health, it's only going to make it harder to get to sleep, stay asleep, and wake up feeling rested and refreshed. Lying on a quality mattress is one of the essential natural ways to fall asleep.

In recent years Apprenticeships have been gaining more and more popularity and are now becoming a more efficient choice for students as they leave school. The purpose of this article is to provide you with historic information of where the Apprenticeship originated from. Records show that the Apprenticeships goes back as far as the Middle Ages.
The Beginning
Apprenticeships have come a long way, and I mean a long way. As previously mentioned the origins of apprenticeships can date all the way back to the Middle Ages. Yes, that's right; the Middle Ages. Families of the upper-class status would send their children away to live with a host of different families.
The first real Apprenticeship system was introduced in the year 1563 by the statue of Artificers, which included conditions which could be linked to the Apprenticeship standard we have today. Master, in this case, was not allowed to have any more than three Apprentices at a time and Apprenticeships should last around seven years. This Act was repealed a whole 251 years later as the popularity of Apprenticeships decreased in the nineteenth century. This was mainly because of the conditions of these factories and how people exploited the use of young Apprentices.
Going forward into the 1900s apprenticeships did remain popular in many professions like plumbing, shipbuilding and engineering. Roughly estimated around 300,000+ Apprentices in the early 1900s. As time went on through the world wars by 1960 a third of young boys were leaving school to become Apprentices.
Unfortunately, throughout most of the 20th century, employers started to criticise the system in place for being too restricted and unresponsive to the industry. After the huge success from apprenticeships in the 1960s, it started to take a slow decline, with nearly half as many Apprentices in 1995 as there were in 1975.
In the year 1993, a new Apprenticeship scheme was announced called "Modern Apprenticeships" and was rolled out through the next two years. The main aspect of this scheme was that Apprentices would actually count as employees and would be paid a wage. This time there would be no contract on how long the Apprentice would be on the course but rather what qualification they would receive by the end of the Apprenticeship. A modern-day Apprentice was required to work towards an NVQ Level 3 which is equivalent to A-Levels today.
Sometime after this National Traineeships were introduced which was a Level 2 qualification equivalent to GCSEs. The purpose of a Traineeship was an alternative route that would eventually lead people on to an apprenticeship. This type of qualification was predominate in sectors such as engineering, retail, business administration and accounting.
This system alongside with the Modern Apprenticeships Scheme would eventually evolve into what we like to call "Advance Modern Apprenticeships" and in the early 2000s national frameworks were introduced defining the minimum standards required from each Apprenticeship.
Now as we reach the present day a lot has changed. After the election in 2010 higher Apprenticeships were introduced which were equivalent to foundation degrees or above. As more 25s became Apprentices the number of Apprenticeships started to double to over half a million.
Now we have new minimum standards that were introduced in 2012 for some qualifications replacing the old frameworks. Employers have to provide 30 hours of employment a week with guided learning. It also introduced a requirement to offer training in Maths and English for Apprentices who have not achieved a GCSE standard.
With more advanced jobs comes more advance Apprenticeships and with that comes an increase in popularity as more people have come to realise there are different routes than just going to university. Today there is a far wider range of Apprenticeships being offered to expand into higher sectors attracting students who would ordinarily make the choice to go to University.

How to make the most of time-of-use electricity tariffs
What are time-of-use electricity tariffs?Time-of-use electricity tariffs mean that customers pay a different rate for their energy at different times of day. There are usually two to five different phases – this Australian example is made up of three:
/ Peak phase: electricity is most expensive during this phase as there is a high demand for energy
/ Shoulder phase: customers pay a moderate price for energy during this period
/ Off-peak phase: the electricity price is lowest during this phase, which is often during the night
What are the advantages of time-of-use electricity tariffs?Time-of-use electricity tariffs are intended to give customers an incentive to use energy at times when the general demand is low, and therefore the electricity price is at its lowest at these times. As a system owner, this enables you to lower your electricity bills and play a role in load management and reducing the load on the grid infrastructure. Of course, it is not always possible to shift your energy consumption to the times with the lowest electricity price. However, an energy storage system allows users to store energy either when the electricity price is low or when there is sufficient PV energy.
The Fronius solution for time-of-use electricity tariffFronius already has a solution for countries where energy providers offer time-of-use electricity tariffs – the Symo Hybrid inverter. With the Fronius Symo Hybrid, users can define time periods for charging and discharging the energy storage system. System owners can therefore adapt their storage solution to their individual needs and avoid unnecessarily high costs for extra – and above all, expensive – energy from the grid.
More specifically, this means that the battery is charged and discharged at certain times in order to reserve capacity for times of the day when the more expensive electricity rates are in force. For example, if the electricity tariff is particularly high in the evening, users can ensure that the battery has enough capacity in the evening to cover this expensive phase with self-produced electricity.
This is achieved by applying settings that limit discharging during the phase in which electricity is at its cheapest.
There are also countries, such as Australia, which offer time-dependent feed-in tariffs. Here too, the Fronius solution can be configured take these time-dependent feed-in tariffs into account and therefore allow the biggest possible yields to be achieved.
Would you like to know more? The "Time-of-use settings with Fronius Symo Hybrid" white paper contains more information about time-of-use electricity tariffs and real-life examples.

For many years Gulf Oil was synonymous with auto racing, as it famously sponsored the John Wyer Automotive team in the 1960s and early '70s. With its signature light blue and orange color scheme associated with the Ford GT40, the Mirage M1 and Porsche 917. Gulf became one of the most famous corporate racing colors schemes. The cars notoriety only spread as they successfully competed in the most challenging races of the their day, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and the Targa Florio.
In addition to its racing success, much of Gulfs popularity can be attributed to the 1971 film Le Mans and Steve McQueen's character, Michael Delaney, who drives for the Gulf team. In the years since his death in 1980, McQueen's popularity has only increased causing Gulf Racing team sponsor Tag Heuer to recreate the Heuer Monaco limited edition the watch with the Gulf logo and trademark color scheme.
In the same era, Gulf Oil also sponsored Team McLaren during the Bruce McLaren days, which used a papaya orange color scheme with Gulf blue for lettering.
While many recognize the GT40's and Porsche 917's of the late sixtes and seventies many do not realize that modern cars are racing with the Gulf name in endurance racing today.

My apologies for my lack of productivity in blog-land! In all fairness, I've been working quite a lot lately between my two jobs (one contract is finishing at the end of November though – phew!). We also bought a new (to us) car – a 2007 Honda Fit and sold my old car (a 1996 Honda Accord ; man I love them Hondas). The Fit is a standard (aka manual transmission), so I've been busy in the evenings learning to drive it. It took a few weeks, and a lot of tears, but I'm now zipping around Squamish in my new wheels! I'm still not super confident, and it will probably be awhile before I take it into Vancouver, but that will come I'm sure. Learning to drive a standard was one of my goals for 2011, so I can now tick that off my list – Yippee!
On the sewing/crafty front, I've mostly just been tacking a few UFO's and converting some self-made pants into Maternity Pants. I made some knock-off True Religion jeans last year that I lovingly named the False Religion jeans – ha! Anyways, the fly started doing some weird things and stitching was coming out of the waistband. So I hadn't worn them in awhile. These were some of the first pants I'd made so there are a few things wrong with them, I figured I'd convert them into maternity jeans and get some more wear out of them. I used Megan Nielsen's tutorial (again, since I'm carrying so low this seems to give me the best fit) and voila! Super nice maternity jeans! I also converted some brown pants that I made using the Built By Wendy Sew U book that I just never seemed to wear. I don't know why; I felt the crotch and waistband were kind of weird-looking on me. But they make fantastic maternity pants!
My next sewing projects include a maternity winter jacket (boy is it ever getting chilly!), a nice blouse and some dressy tops, and maybe a couple of maternity dresses. I've been scoping out ASOS for inspiration because they have some really nice maternity clothes.
I want to make a lace dress/tunic like this one for the holidays:
|All images from www.asos.com
I love the bib front on this blouse:
This wrap top looks so comfy!
This blouse shape is nice for work, although I don't think I want a sheer version:
And I like this coat, I wonder if it would work in a waterproof fabric:
I already started making a military-inspired (non-maternity) jacket using the Built By Wendy Coats and Jackets book, so I will finish that up before starting on a maternity version. I think a cape would also work nicely for El Bumpo, but I'm not sure how practical it will be for the cold, wet and windy winter that's coming to Squamish…

this is the first draft - I am looking for some constructive feedback guys :) thanks!Reply
Nice... Good work...Reply
The logo is too big, I think.Reply
I like how the knot of the tie looks like the monkeys mouth too. Good Job!Reply
thanks md and azacarias*tiraeth i will look into this....like i said its still early days :)Reply
I think the border of the tie needs some work. Guess I don't really like the white, not sure.Reply
This is crying out for a bowler hat mate.Reply
Damn, that would be coolReply
@itgareth: I did do a version with a bowler hat and another with a Mac rather than a shirt/tie...but I'm undecided. I need to revise this and make a few tweaks to the logo. I'll upload when I'm 100%25 happy :)Reply
I know I'm way late in this comment (just found logopond.com) but I like the logo. I'm curious to see what it'd look like if the monkey's tie was the %22i%22 of %22business%22.*I do agree that the size of the emblem is too big in proportion to the text but it wouldn't be the same without the tie.Reply
Thanks for the comment nathan. You are right the icon is too big for the text but this one has been put to bed :( it never materialised into anything. *I did do a similar tweak to the one you described. I may upload it again in the next few days. keep a look out :)Reply

Nearly 1,500 Stags and guests ventured back to Stag Country during Reunion Weekend, June 8 - June 10, to reminisce, reconnect, and create new memories.
Earlier this month, nearly 1,500 alumni and guests returned to campus to celebrate Reunion 2018 from Friday, June 8 to Sunday, June 10. On a picture-perfect weekend, this year's Reunion alumni—those in classes ending in a 3 or an 8—enjoyed reconnecting with friends and classmates and exploring Fairfield's ever-evolving landscape. The weekend kicked off on Friday night with receptions on campus and, for the milestone 25th Reunion class, at the Seagrape. The celebration continued on Saturday with a full slate of events, including a "Meet the Faces of Fairfield" reception with President Mark R. Nemec, PhD, and other members of the faculty and staff, the Taste of Fairfield food fair, and the annual Reunion Mass. Saturday concluded with a dinner on Bellarmine Lawn, where over 1,000 guests danced the night away.
Also coming home to campus that weekend were the Golden Stags, those alumni who graduated from the University more than 50 years ago. Many of the Golden Stags participated in the various Reunion activities during the day and then had their own special dinner, with remarks from President Nemec, in the Dolan School of Business on Saturday evening.
A good time was had by all and planning is already underway for Reunion 2019. All alumni in classes ending in a 4 or 9, mark your calendars for June 7 – 9, 2019!

Ayurveda is known as anorexia because of the taste and smell of flavored foods. In Western medicine, this is called anorexia.Anorexia is a condition that can lead to many ailments. Non-availability of food can harm your nutritional status. It is a powerful part of Ayurveda.
This is especially true for people with mental illness. It is caused by delusions, especially among young men and women. It is a traumatic event caused by a mental nerve deformity.It can be caused by young children and grown children who do not want to, or are too tired during exams. Be careful.
But especially in the case of gastric cancer, anorexia is caused by gastric mucus.In the air, the taste of the teeth can be bitter and the taste of the mouth bitter.According to Ayurveda, if you rub salt in your mouth for about half an hour before eating it, you will feel hungry and lose your appetite.
It is best to mix the tamarind with the sugar cane jaggery, water the tamarind dal as a mixer and drink it for half an hour before making a boil.This is because the doctor will look at your condition and determine the condition.
A spoonful of curry leaves, about a bite, a dried chilli pod, a white onion brick, two red onions, a pinch of salt, a pinch of pepper,Taking a small piece of coconut and grinding it with a few drops of lime juice makes a pile of food.

IU Looking Worse For Wear
IU has been very busy as of late. No sooner had she finished her activities in Korea, she was off to Japan to start her activities there. I think it can be safe to say that she probably hasn't had a decent break in a few months and it appears that the signs of that are beginning to show. Recently IU posted this message on her fanclub.
Titled "I'm going to sleep" with a speech bubble saying "Good Night," she writes that "Even though I have makeup on, I can't cover up my dark circles. Well that's always been the case but… I'll be going to Korea once the sun rises in the morning!!" In the picture you can see IU looking a bit worse for wear with pronounced dark areas underneath her eyes. She also looked rather sickly in the airport photos that were published recently. Hopefully she gets some rest soon because she definitely looks like she needs it.

Geometry will greatly impact which technique, or combinations of techniques, are required to seal the part for testing, and then end use. Employing Stratasys' Insight software, included with Stratasys' Fortus line, is an easy way to solve porosity issues on most geometries; conversely, some complex geometries may potentially require labor intensive post-processing. So if you're the frugal type, you should put your efforts into processing STL's upfront with an Ultem fist to ensure those manual operations aren't necessary. And guess what? Unlike most post-processing methods, this strategy won't change the part geometry.
If you're already familiar with FDM, you may be aware of why porosity is often necessary. If not, here's why: the model may have areas that aren't self-supporting so the supports need to be removed and dissolved. The natural porosity allows the soluble solution to reach the support material as well as drain from those same areas that may be concealed. In other words, sometimes leaching is helpful. Just keep that in mind.
Sealing with Insight
With Insight, you have the ability to control or even eliminate the porosity concern, especially with simple geometries. This is true as long as the application requirements are to hold a gas or liquid around atmospheric pressures. It won't be as effective at higher pressures/vacuum, or with complex part geometries.
The first step is addressing the orientation of the build on the platform. This will require your judgment and the application needs. The most important rule is to orient the part so that most surfaces are oriented vertically.
