Tiffers Tips!
I said TIPS gentlemen, TIPS!!
Right, I know I am not the only one on here with leatherwork experience but I do seem to be getting asked one or two leatherwork questions every so often. I thought it might be a good way to keep these questions and answers together as well as me adding other tips when I think of them.
So, feel free to ask questions here and all you other experienced people, feel free to add your thoughts too! My knowledge is by no means the be-all and end-all of leatherwork and never will be. I am as likely to learn something from everyone else as you are from me!

I must add that I dont glue stuff if I can help it and both sheaths I have made recently were made without glue I think though that experience might play a part with keeping stuff in place!

Re: Tiffers Tips!
Tools.........Rapidboy asked in a different thread about what tools are needed to make a sheath. If you look at any task in a step by step function its easy to work out the tools. So, to make a sheath you need to mark the leather, cut the leather, prepare for stitching, stitch then form the sheath. Easy!
For marking out your pattern onto the leather some people use red pen (As mentioned somewhere by PS_Bond, the red dye is easy to cover with most dyes). Another option is to use a biro which has run out. This doesnt mark the leather with ink, simply presses your pattern into the leather for your knife to follow. Using this method means there isnt any chance of you putting ink where it isnt supposed to go! A mistake I made once when making a leather bodice.
For cutting the leather, a decent sharp knife will do but you will need to be able to cut through the thickness of leather in a controlled fashion. A single head knife or a round knife from someone like BOWSTOCK will make your life much easier if you intend to do much leatherwork. Not only can you use it for cutting out the leather in the first place, you can also use it to skive (thin down) sections as you need to.
Preparing the leather for stitching involves creating a line for your stitch marks to follow then marking them. A pair of dividers can mark the line you want then could also double up to mark each stitch. Ideally you should mark the stitches using either a pricking wheel or (preferably) a pricking iron. Again, Bowstock can help with those. How fine you stitch your sheath is completely up to you. Some people say that if you use too many stitches to the inch then you run the risk of it falling apart as the stitch holes act like perforations on a bit of card. My experience is that this happens with machine stitching in general but not hand stitching, possibly because the hand stitching is less traumatic to the leather fibres.
The reason you should use a pricking iron is due to the slant of the mark it leaves. Its designed to work with the diamond section of the awl blades and encourages your thread to fall into a slightly slanted position. Pricking irons are not designed to go through the whole thickness of the leather, but simply to mark the top surface as a guide. If you use a nylon or wooden headed mallet it saves wear and tear on the pricking iron.
To hand stitch the leather you need some needles and thread, beeswax to run the thread across (this helps protect it from water as well as causing it to lock inside the leather hole), an awl with a suitably sized blade and possibly a pair of small pliers. You also need something to hold your work in such as a pair of seat clams or full size clams. Bowstock do full sized clams while I think you can get seat clams from Tandys in the USA. Alternatively, you can make them; I will post a picture of some later with a few measurements.
Usually when you buy an awl, you choose the blade then the handle and put the two together. A good sized awl blade to go for would be 2.5" or 2.25" as this gives you plenty of blade to have as the tang. The best way of setting a blade into a handle is to use a couple of pennies to hold the blade in your vice then to tap the handle down onto the point which is left more unfinished. If you set the blade so that the entire section showing above the pennies is to be set into the handle then you can use them as a guide.
For forming the sheath, you can use virtually anything which has a smooth hard edge. An old fashioned butter knife with a bone or false bone handle or a proper plastic tool such as Brisa sells. Either of them works well. If you do get the plastic tool it might be worth just taking off the burr you get from the forming as it can cut your leather.
There are other odd items which can help make your life easier, glue, tacks (fine tingle tacks), a marble block to provide a firm and flat base for when you are marking the stitches but they are all added extras and not strictly necessary.
Hope I didnt lose you in all that waffle!

Just thought I ought to say a big thank you to Tiffers! I've been pestering her with questions about sheathmaking and really appreciate her advice.

Re: Tiffers Tips!
Ooh, forgot to mention about threads. Most leatherwork threads are numbered such as 18/3 or 18/4 or 25/4. Basically, the larger the biggest number, the thinner the thread while the larger the small number, the more cords make up each thread.
To explain a bit more.......
A thread which was 18/3 (or 3/18, sometimes its written the other way around) is made up of 3 cords which each have a thickness rating of 18.
I would say that for fine work on a sheath, a 18/3 thickness linen thread would be good while for something a bit heavier, a 18/4 thread would be about right.
If you get balls of flax cord then you are buying a single cord thickness and in order to use it, you have to twist it with 2 or 3 other cords in order to make something which is usable. I will write up how to do that later if you want Its nice being able to say you have something stitched with a hand made thread

Seriously, thanks to Tiffers, and even though I do not use leather for sheaths, I will make belts etc, so I am eagerly anticipating pearls of wisdom.....previously known as zackerty...alive and well and living at http://edgematters.uk/
Re: Tiffers Tips!
Oooh, what sort of belts do you intend making Zackery? Ones with press studs on the fold by the buckle or do you intend stitching them? Or how about a stitched loop for the belt to fold back through to keep the buckle in place?
Re: Tiffers Tips!
Tips oot fo' th' Lads!
I usually glue bits together with the impact adhesive (Bostick, or a supermarket own-brand) so the pieces stay in place while I sew. Maybe when I get that clamp sort of thing on a stick, I'll not need to use so much glue.
I set my awl blade in a 2" long section of beech dowel, and stick it into a wine cork to protect it when I throw it in my leatherwork bag.
Can you explain about setting eyelets, Tiffers?
I find that they tend to split, if you know what I mean... You have a tube with a flared end, the other end is supposed to be flared by the die (I use setting pliers). But I find that the end isn't properly formed, and splits as it is curled over.
Are my eyelets too long, or too short, for the thickness of leather I'm working?
Re: Tiffers Tips!
Tiffers, aluminium interscrews actually..the same as these on this sheath...

I suspect that there is some relationship to the weight of a bundle of wires of gauge n ofa certain length...
Is a thread marked 25/4 four threads of 25 gauge, or four threads for a total of 25 gauge?
Re: Tiffers Tips!
A recent tip I picked up but haven't tried is to use waxed dacron bowstring for stitching leather. B50 dacron is very readily available from archery suppliers in black, white and other colors. It's cheap and durable if you want a synthetic thread.
PS - sorry if I'm hijacking, you can't blame Tiffers for this oneNot mean, not mad !
Re: Tiffers Tips!
Good idea Alick... I have tried Lubex 60, triple layered, and it is a good alternative.

The Card's Nest rental cabin is nestled in the woods located on Gorrel lake. Gorrel lake provides a very nice, private setting. There are only 3 dwellings located on the entire lake. The property is adjacent to Merrill Lake County Park, which provides a place for the children to play, including a playground and swimming beaches on two lakes within walking distance. Located near the Pier Marquette snowmobile trail, The Card's Nest offers something for every season. Nature abounds in the surrounding woods, and is great for spotting birds, animals, and just enjoying nature.
We provide a fully furnished cabin, you need only bring your personal items and towels. A rowboat, two kayaks, and a paddle boat are provided. These can be launched from our small private sandy area, or tied to the dock during your stay.
The kitchen area has recently been upgraded with all new cabinets, counter tops, cast iron sink, range, and refrigerator. We also provide a 'beer and bait' refrigerator in the downstairs entranceway. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, pots, pans, utensils, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, and more.
Bedroom 1 downstairs in newly renovated, and has a double bed, rustic pine furniture (locally crafted) and a beatiful view of the lake. Bedroom 2 has a double bed. Bedroom 3 provides a double bed and twin bunk beds. There are two double sized futons in family room.
Outdoor area provides a large deck overlooking the lake. There is a charcoal grill, as well as a fire pit with cooking grates. Build in benches and a picnic table provide seating around the deck and firepit area. There is a balcony off the upper floor that offers beautiful views of the lake and woods.
While this is a remote setting, basic needs can be met in Barryton, less than 10 minutes away, and a larger town is only 15 minutes away.
Our weekly rentals run from Sunday to Sunday.
Keywords: private, fishing, furnished, snowmobile, fireplace, boat, lodge, family, dock, pier, firepit, rustic, remote
We had been renting this cabin from the previous owners for 8 years, and jumped and the chance to buy this property. We are happy to be able to share our cabin with you. Every time we get to visit, we leave feeling relaxed and renewed.
Gorrel lake, being only a few feet from the cabin and deck, provides great views, a nice breeze, boating, and fishing. The adjacent county park offers sandy beaches on two lakes, horseshoes, a playground, and a fish cleaning station.
The Cards Nest will forever be a memorable place. All you need to bring are your clothes and food. My family just got back from the best vacation ever!!! We enjoyed the fishing and boats (supplied by the cards nest). It's so pieceful there that you forget your next to a campground. I've never been so relaxed as I was in the hammock! If your looking for a place that has beautiful scenery, is quiet, relaxing, fully equipped, and ready to make amazing memories then I recommend you stay here. This cabin easily accomidated the 10 of us. They were very nice at answering my questions, and easy to check in and out with. We can't wait to plan our next stay here!
This was a different vacation then we've ever taken. We weren't sure what we were going to find once we arrived or what we would think about it, given the location (in a campground). However, I can honestly say that it was the most relaxing vacation we've ever had. The only time we left was to go into Big Rapids to get groceries. We spend the rest of the time fishing, relaxing on the beach, going out on the boats, sitting in the hammock, and then spent every evening by the fire pit. We had many questions before arriving and the owner was very responsive, helpful, and friendly. Thanks for sharing your cabin with us!
Probably best outfitted cabin we've ever stayed in over 24 years.
A lot of care went into the planning of this cabin, both inside and out. If U sit outside with your coffee, tea or whatever, you can feel your cares melting away as you watch the sun rise or set on the lake.
Saw our first loon, which I had thought was some sort of exotic bird but is actually in the duck family.
Loved the town of Big Rapids, don't miss the River Walk.
Chip and Dale were very entertaining but declined to come home with us. Probably heard about the cat.
Just returned from several days at the Cards Nest with a group of friends. This place was absolutely perfect - beautiful scenery and quiet. Lots of seating around the great fire pit. Being able to use the kayaks/boats/fishing poles was ideal for this group of Yooper girls! We cannot wait to go back!
My family of 4 along with my sister's family of 4 enjoyed a week long stay at the Card's Nest! We thoroughly enjoyed boating, fishing, swimming, and sun bathing. A bigger beach/swimming area would have made it absolutely perfect! With the weather in the mid to upper 90's we did a lot outside! All the ammenities you will ever need right at ur fingertips. Good groceries stores were a bit of a drive, but that was no big deal. Very quiet, peaceful lake. Over all we all had a great time. Lots of wildlife and inside a really friendly campground! They keep a log book for guests to fill out, which was really neat to read about how people have enjoyed it over the years. The owner is very communicative and friendly! Would definitely return! Thanks so much!
Our first time staying at The Card's Nest and had a wonderful time! The cabin is very clean and well cared for inside and out. Everyday we were out on the water fishing. Found a couple good holes where we caught bluegill, bass and some nice perch. Even though right next to the county park you wouldn't know it-very peaceful and relaxing. Mainly cooked out on the firepit and grill but plenty choices close by in Barryton if you don't feel like cooking. Would definitely recommend staying at The Card's Nest!

Improve performance of Windows 7 by disabling indexing and integration with ZIP and CAB archives.
As with previous Windows versions, Microsoft has built in ZIP and CAB file integration which automatically adds archives as folders in Windows Explorer and defaults to searching for files located within. If you don't want this to happen, you can drastically improve system performance by disabling zip files feature.
As with previous versions of Windows, Microsoft does not provide a method by which you can turn this feature on or off, but there is a simple registry hack that will fix things for you.
The easiest way of disabling zip folder integration in Windows 7 is to copy the registry entry below, save it to your desktop as a text file with a .reg extension, then import the contents by double clicking it.
All this does is delete 4 registry keys which removes the association. You can also use regedit.exe
to navigate to these keys and delete them yourself. You will need to reboot your computer for the changes to take effect.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CompressedFolder\CLSID] [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CABFolder\CLSID] [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.zip\CLSID] [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.cab\CLSID]
To re-enable ZIP folder integration, you can import the following code in the same way which will relink ZIP and CAB archives to the integration of Windows Explorer
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CompressedFolder\CLSID] @="{E88DCCE0-B7B3-11d1-A9F0-00AA0060FA31}" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.zip\CLSID] @="{E88DCCE0-B7B3-11d1-A9F0-00AA0060FA31}" [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CABFolder\CLSID] @="{0CD7A5C0-9F37-11CE-AE65-08002B2E1262}" [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.cab\CLSID] @="{0CD7A5C0-9F37-11CE-AE65-08002B2E1262}"

You no longer have an excuse, with the simplicty of this recipe, to make a simple chocolate cake straight from a box ever, ever again. After all, with just a few more ingredients, and the right toppings, you can turn out something that your average person would never suspect used cake mix - and I know this firsthand, as the people who tried this were suprised to find out.
This was the first cake I've ever made. Period. I've done brownies once or twice from a mix, and a few batches of cookies - always from scratch, but I've never attemped a cake before. Thus, the reason for going for something simple, instead of diving into making one from scratch. It was made for a friend's birthday, and it was my choice, as she was very unwilling to specify what she wanted. So I picked out one that looked good, and this was it.
Being my first cake, I was quite nervous about how well it was going to turn out - but then again, I'm like that when making anything for friends. Well, it was brought over to my friend's place after they had moved in earlier that morning (and we were exhausted), and after filling up on pizza earlier, we were starting to doze off. Thus, it was time for some sugar to get us moving again, and we brought out the cake. The first bite, and I knew I had nothing to worry about as the mix of chocolate and raspberry was perfect, and everyone was quite happy with it. All was good.
(Recipe originally from The Cake Mix Doctor is In, instructions changed for copyright purposes)
1 18.25 oz package plain devil's food cake mix 1 3.9 oz package instant chocolate pudding mix 3/4 cup water 1/2 cup rum 1/2 cup vegetable oil 4 large eggs 1 6 oz package (1 cup) semisweet chocolate chips
Raspberry Sauce: 1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam 1/4 cup rum
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Take a bundt pan and spray with vegetable oil (or a cooking spray), and lightly dust with flour.
Mix the cake mix, pudding, water, rum, oil, and eggs togeter in a large mixing bowl, and blend on low speed for about a minute, until everything is combined. Use a spatula to scrape batter down from the sides, and start blending at medium speed for about 2-3 minutes, scraping down the sides as necessary. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour the mixture into the bundt pan, and smooth with the spatula.
Bake for about 50-55 minutes. The cake should be just starting to pull away from the sides of the pan, and spring back when lightly pressed with your finger.
Remove the cake from the oven, and let cool about 20 minutes. Turn the cake out onto the serving platter.
Mix the jam and rum in a saucepan, and put on low heat to melt the jam. Poke holes in the top of the cake with a toothpick or skewer, then spoon the raspberry mixture on top. (It will run down the sides)
Wait a few minutes for the raspberry mixture to soak into the cake, then spoon on warm Shiny Chocolate Glaze. Let cool completely before cutting.
It will hold for about a week, but must be stored in the refrigerator.

That little guy is, I believe, a Red Breasted Nuthatch - the "rude" picture is of his/her tail end. More info re the nuthatches here:
You sure like your running. Must have something to do with one's anatomy - at any weight and/or condition, running has always been an uncomfortable activity for me - it's something I do only in extreme emergencies. I can walk, even rather rapidly, for hours but my flatish feet and other moveable parts complain at any faster pace.
Been frigid here for the last week but maybe warming today. The main problem with the eastern winter is the danged freeze-thaw cycles that can sure wreak havoc on buildings and turn all outdoor surfaces into startlingly dangerous skating rinks. I don't leave home without my Yaktrax on!

445-447 Sussex Drive, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Larocque-Lafortune CollegeLarocque-Lafortune CollegeCollège Larocque-Lafortune
Laroque-Lafortune College is located at 445-447 Sussex Drive in downtown Ottawa. A corner building, the two principal facades face Sussex Drive and Murray Street. It is a flat-roofed, three-storey stone structure, with regularly placed windows and a formal, balanced appearance. Decoration is limited to a stringcourse between the first and second floors and a heavy, bracketed cornice at roof level. The designation is confined to the footprint of the building.
Laroque-Lafortune College is a Recognized Federal Heritage Building because of its historical associations, and its architectural and environmental values.
Historical Value: Laroque-Lafortune College is a very good example of a building associated with Ottawa's early development and also with the development of Sussex Drive as a primary commercial and symbolic corridor in the city. The building is one of the earliest masonry structures constructed for commercial purposes in Lower Town. It was built during a phase of development that transformed the pioneer community into a permanent and prospering nineteenth-century urban centre. Its first owner Charles Sparrow was a Lower Town merchant and entrepreneur who once served as mayor of Bytown, Laroque-Lafortune College is now the property of the National Capital Commission. Architectural Value:Laroque-Lafortune College is valued for its good aesthetics and is one of the oldest extant buildings in the downtown area. It is an early example of a commercial structure executed in stone. Good functional design is seen in the building's configuration with the ground floor used for commercial space and residential or other use above. Good craftsmanship is evidenced in the ashlar masonry.
Environmental Value:Laroque-Lafortune College reinforces the commercial / institutional character of its setting and is a familiar city landmark to local residents.
Sources:Shannon Ricketts, 445-447 Sussex Drive, Ottawa, Ontario, Heritage Buildings Review Office Report 88-009.
445-447 Sussex Drive, Ontario, Heritage Character Statement 88-009.
The character-defining elements of the Laroque-Lafortune College should be respected, for example:
Its good aesthetics, functional design, and craftsmanship, for example:
-The three-storey massing of the structure with a flat roof.-The exterior walls of ashlar masonry. -The simple detailing including a stringcourse and heavy bracketed cornice at roof level. -The regularly placed door and window openings with large retail windows on the ground floor.
The manner in which the Laroque-Lafortune College is compatible with the commercial / institutional character of its setting, and is a familiar city landmark as evidenced by:
-Its scale, design and materials that maintain a visual and physical relationship with the surrounding block of buildings and complement the streetscape. -Its familiarity to visitors, passing pedestrians, and local residents owing to its location on a busy corner of Sussex Drive and to its commercial premises on the ground floor.

This product feels rich and nourishing on the skin, but doesn't leave any greasy feel or after-sheen. It has a slightly herbal scent, which I enjoy, a bit different from many skin care products. This is the special thing I do for myself before going to bed at the end of a long day. Love it.
I received this moisturizing mask as a sample and I cant wait to purchase it now. In the winter my skin gets a little bit irritated and red and definitely dry. Ive tried many products before but didnt receive the results like I did with this one. The smell is pleasant, not strong at all. It isnt heavy on your face, its in fact super light you could almost forget you have a mask on. Once you remove the mask your skin already feels back to normal and extremely soft.

Update: Apple "stunned" at RealNetworks' hacker tactics
RealNetworks has responded to Apple's statement (below) saying "consumers, and not Apple, should be the ones choosing what music goes on their iPod. Apple has suggested that new laws such as the DMCA are relevant to this dispute. In fact, the DMCA is not designed to prevent the creation of new methods of locking content and explicitly allows the creation of interoperable software. We remain fully committed to Harmony and to giving millions of consumers who own portable music devices, including the Apple iPod, choice and compatibility.
Harmony follows in a well-established tradition of fully legal, independently developed paths to achieve compatibility. There is ample and clear precedent for this activity, for instance the first IBM compatible PCs from Compaq. Harmony creates a way to lock content from Real's music store in a way that is compatible with the iPod, Windows Media DRM devices, and Helix DRM devices. Harmony technology does not remove or disable any digital rights management system."
Apple today released a statement in response to RealNetworks' recent announcement that they had created a method to offer iPod-compatible song downloads through its new Harmony software. "We are stunned that RealNetworks has adopted the tactics and ethics of a hacker to break into the iPod, and we are investigating the implications of their actions under the DMCA and other laws. We strongly caution Real and their customers that when we update our iPod software from time to time it is highly likely that Real's Harmony technology will cease to work with current and future iPods."

This just shows what an 'dirty' company Real Networks is, they tried buying into the iPod phenomena and now they are trying to hustle their way in.
A quick gripe - Have you noticed how the 'free' (but adware/spyware ridden) Real Player is hidden away on their site? When you finally find the 'free' Real player it has has some strange effects on OS X. Even when I was a PC user it took over most media file permissions (ala AOL). It's a shame some web content has to be viewed by Real Player - I just avoid these sites (that includes you too BBC!)
I fully back Apple bringing out regular software updates restricting Real content. Mac users should stand united against this sort of thing!
Posted by Oh Really Networks in Irvine, CA on July 29, 2004 at 12:06 PM (CDT)
I don't see what everyone is crying about. Isn't REAL just helping out Apple in the end anyway? Apple never said they were using ITunes to profit rather just to sell IPods. With REAL compatipility, it should help them sell more devices.

Helping Apple out?
If you try the Real beta software (something I don't recommend you do) you will see a pretty ominious dialog box the Real software puts up that tells you that you must make Real's software the only app that manages the music on your iPod. It also requires you to quit iTunes if it is running at the same time.
The Real software screws up the entire iPod experience.

You people truly are fan boys. Anything Apple does is genious. Well news flash, Real hasn't done anything wrong. What the difference between what Real has done and what programmers do everyday? Real tried to do things the nice way and when Apple said "No thanks" Real said "ok, then we'll do it the hard way".
Companies do stuff like this all the time. Hell, Microsoft's famous for it. Linux programmers do similar things on Microsoft technologies all the time (example: Mono), but I guess that's different since they're treding on the evil M$ company and not Apple.
Posted by mkoby in Irvine, CA on July 29, 2004 at 1:14 PM (CDT)
Seem like many ppl here are truely apple fanboy. Open your mind and think for a second. What did Real do that is wrong. Reverse-engineering is permitted by law (and yes, even by the DMCA for the interoperating purpose.
Real is merely give more choice to customers. You must be really dense to accept that only musics from iTMS can be played on iPod. FYI, you buy the iPod, not leasing from Apple.
I hate this kind of double standard. Think about this situation again but substitue Apple/Jobs with MS/Gates, what do you think now?

Worry not?,
As iPod users,We didnt buy into the Real Crapworx deal first time round and We're not likely to now!
The previous posters' attitudes are a tad unprincipled-Digital rights management software is the only reason the Record co's agree to deal with Apple,OD2 etc.
Its up to Apple to decide compatabilitys (?) with the iPod certainly not a close competitor like Real especially when Apple has negotiated licensing agreements with the Record industry that are dependant on the DRM software.Real have tried to stitch up Apple here-naughty

I'm with Apple on this one. As a software engineer, I know that it's not good when people build things on an unsupported interface. Apple needs to be free to change their software without worrying about what some third party has written to an unsupported interface. You can say its not their worry, but it is, because from the point of view of the poor uninformed consumer, who just bought a bunch of songs that they were told would play on the iPod and suddenly they don't, they will blame the iPod. It will make Apple look bad, even though it's not their fault at all.

"i mean, the only thing worse than Real Player is AIDS"
Quite an un-necessary statement. Don't you think?
Posted by schaaking in Irvine, CA on July 29, 2004 at 3:17 PM (CDT)
I don't necessarily care about Real, but I do want more choices and competition. I'm an Apple Computer and iPod fan, but I really don't like the way Apple is behaving in all this. If they are going to bitch about what Real has done, then they need to open up FairPlay and give us choices.
Posted by sjonke in Irvine, CA on July 29, 2004 at 3:38 PM (CDT)
Despite all the soap opera drama, I think the whole thing is overblown and overestimates Real's motives and intentions.
Of course, they say its all about providing choice, but at the end of the day, the only choice Real offers is that you choose THEIR solution rather than Apple's, and that you MUST you REALPLAYER to manage your iPod instead of iTunes.
The fact is that the iPod already offers choice. You have the choice to buy from iTMS or not. You also have the choice to buy music from a variety of online sources that support open MP3 format. You also have the choice to buy CD's and rip them in any format you want, playable on whatever device you want, and with whatever jukebox you want.
To me, it seems that Real is offering me much in the way of self-serving bullshit, and little in the way of choice, despite their phoney "nobler than thou" PR spewtum.
Posted by Now c'mon...REAL-ly in Irvine, CA on July 29, 2004 at 3:42 PM (CDT)
I don't think Apple needs any "help" from Real at the moment. They can barely keep iPods in stock and last thing I read about the iTunes store was that it could/would become profitable.
"Choices"? At least AAC are still mp4s at heart. What the f*** are Real and WMA files? iTunes has over 750,000 songs and Amazon has every album you could want to burn to your iPod—do we need more choices? Only a spoiled American would say something like.
"Fanboys"? We're not all "boys" here you small penis simpleton.

Clean Water:
Further Implementation and Better Cost Data Needed to Determine Impact of EPA's Storm Water Program on Communities

Urban storm water runoff is a major contributor to the nation's degraded waters. Under the Clean Water Act, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) established a program requiring communities to obtain permits and implement activities to control storm water pollution. EPA's Phase I regulations (1990) applied to communities with populations of 100,000 or more, and its Phase II regulations (1999) covered smaller urban communities. Communities must report progress in meeting permit requirements. Some have raised concerns that storm water requirements impose an undue burden. To evaluate storm water program costs, EPA developed estimates for both phases. GAO was asked to (1) determine the progress in implementing the storm water program, (2) evaluate the extent to which the program burdens communities, (3) examine the accuracy of EPA's cost estimates, and (4) examine the data available for assessing program burden. GAO collected data for all states and a sample of 130 communities, among other steps.
Storm water program implementation has been slow for both Phase I and II communities. The federal deadlines for permit applications were years ago--14 years for Phase I and 4 years for Phase II--but almost 11 percent of all communities were not yet permitted as of fall 2006. In addition, litigation, among other reasons, delayed the issuance of some permits for years after the application deadlines. As a result, almost all Phase II and some Phase I communities are still in the early stages of program implementation. It is too early to determine the storm water program's overall burden, but several factors influence the extent to which the program burdens a community. In particular, burden varies depending on whether communities (1) can use the flexibility built into EPA's regulations to implement less expensive measures, or (2) are able to benefit from prior storm water management experience. Some communities may face a greater burden because of more stringent requirements set by EPA or the states, additional efforts required to address litigation over water quality, or because of barriers to obtaining funding for storm water activities. Storm water program burdens could increase in the future because, among other reasons, EPA or the states may reissue permits with more stringent requirements. Without an estimate of actual storm water program costs--or burden--GAO could not determine the accuracy of EPA's cost estimates. However, GAO did identify methodological concerns that raise questions about the usefulness of these estimates for measuring the burden communities face. That is, the Phase I analysis was not designed to estimate national program costs, the Phase II analysis was based on survey data of questionable validity and reliability, and neither analysis excluded costs for activities that communities were implementing before the program. Any assessment of program burden will be hampered because EPA is not collecting complete and consistent data on communities' activities and their costs. For example, only Phase I communities are required to include data on program costs and these data are often limited. Also, communities' inconsistent reporting of activities makes it difficult to evaluate program implementation nationwide. Consequently, EPA will find it challenging to meet its goal to examine Phase II implementation starting in 2012.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In a May 2007 report (GAO-07-479), we recommended that, to enable EPA to evaluate the implementation of the storm water program, EPA should issue additional program guidance and consider regulatory changes to ensure that (1) communities report on activities in sufficient detail to determine their scope, costs, and results; and (2) communities report this information consistently so that it can be analyzed on a national basis. We found that there were no specific national guidelines on what information communities should include in annual reports to their permitting authorities. As a result, some annual reports we reviewed were hundreds of pages long with detailed data on their activities, while others provided little evidence of the storm water activities being implemented or their costs. Consequently, we determined that it would be difficult for EPA to evaluate communities' storm water program activities and, in particular, to assess the burden of the program on communities nationwide. In June 2009, EPA finalized an annual report form for small municipal separate storm sewer systems implementing the storm water program and circulated this form to EPA regional and state storm water programs. EPA indicated that it was taking steps to encourage storm water permitting authorities to use the form and several states indicated they intended to use this form when they reissue relevant permits. In addition, EPA published new guidance for permit authorities issuing municipal storm water permits in April 2010. This guidance included EPA's annual report form along with a recommendation that permit authorities require use of the form when issuing storm water permits. Finally, EPA has also initiated a rulemaking process to make regulatory changes to the storm water program. One of the proposals for which EPA solicited comments was developing a consistent set of requirements for Phase I (large and medium) and Phase II (small) municipal storm sewer systems. According to EPA, while this proposed rulemaking is not focused on improving the quality of storm water program data, eliminating or reconciling differences within the program should help to improve the consistency of the data collected. According to information available on EPA's Web site, the agency intends to propose a rule in September 2011 and to take final action by November 2012.
Recommendation: In order to enable EPA to evaluate the implementation of the storm water program, the Administrator, EPA, should issue additional program guidance and consider regulatory changes to ensure that (1) communities report on activities in sufficient detail to determine their scope, costs, and results; and (2) communities report this information consistently so that it can be analyzed on a national basis.

Please tell me about Tuscany
(18 Posts)Hi there, we've just booked flights for 8 days in Tuscany in July and now looking for places to visit and stay to make the most of it and would appreciate any pointers or recommendations.
No kids, just me and DH in a hire car, so pretty mobile, happy to travel (until dodgy map-reading or DH ignoring my directions gets too much and we flop on a beach or by a pool). We're keen to see the area, do some touristy stuff and enjoy good food and drink.
Any thoughts, must-dos and don't bothers very welcome - the collective experience of MN has inspired great trips before .
San gimeniano is lovely. My spelling might be wrong though.
The beaches are not amazing on that side of Italy. But some of the cities are amazing
Florence is amazing but very busy and very hot.
I'm sure you will get many recommendations on here
South of Siena is beautiful (Murlo, Montalcino, Pienza sort of direction) and well worth taking time to explore. At that time of year somewhere with a pool to cool off might be handy - a lot of the agriturismi prefer saturday-Saturday stays in high season, but you can usually find somewhere for a one/two night stay if you want to keep moving. The coast isn't very beautiful (apart from Giglio) , though there's a nice un-umbrellaed bit of beach south of Grosseto and Monte Argentario is ok, also if you are over that way I think Pienza is a much nicer base than Pisa.
Thanks - am I right in thinking the region is pretty easy to get around in a car? So we could stay in just a couple of places and still get to see/experience a fair bit?
A few years ago we took the kids to a place called Saturnia!
It's a hot river that we all swam in.
Really warm and supposed to be good for the skin.
We parked at the side of the road and walked about 10 mins.
Hopefully it's not commercialised now.
That was in Tuscany.
There are a few free natural spas in Tuscany which are really lovely (though I think Saturnia is one of the biggest) - others in that sort of area are San Filippo, Petriolo and Bagno Vignoni (which is also a very pretty village).
I think you could easily pick a couple of bases or one longer base in the country plus a couple of city days and see quite a bit without it getting tiring
Where are you flying to?
If Pisa then Lucca is very nice for a night or two, a medieval walled town with nice restaurants etc and home of Puccini so lots of free/cheap opera concerts etc
The coast to the west of Lucca is lovely if very expensive. And there is a nice walk called Cinque Terra (five villages) which is a good day out depending on age of your DCs
We're flying in and out of Pisa. I first thought we'd need a few bases but looking at maps and speaking to people it's not that huge an area we can't easily get around.
Saturnia sounds interesting - a couple of hours south of Siena?
Will certainly look for Lucca - that sounds the image we have of Tuscany, with the architecture, restaurants and opera for me to drag DH to
We don't have kids, so no need to worry about entertaining them!
we flew into Pisa & stayed in Sinalunga last time we went. It's well placed for getting about & has a lovely municipal pool - also it's on the railway which is handy if you don't want to drive & park, we went to Siena that way. (We thought about going to Rome or Florence on the train too but couldn't summon up the energy - it was quite a restful trip )
we also visited Montepulciano, Montalcino, Castiglione del Lago, San Gimignano & the coast at Porto San Stefano (near Giglio where the Costa Concordia sank). On the way back from the coast we passed Pitigliano, which is an amazing looking place, but it had been a long day & we wanted to get back so we only looked, didn't go in.
Tuscany is lovely for pottering about, you never need to go very far.
Our flight home was quite late so we visited Lucca on the last day on the way to Pisa & had a fabulous lunch
Don't bother with Pisa or if you do half a day will cover it. Train to Rome cheap and easy.
Get a satnav - will make your life a LOT easier. Not suitable in all parts of Italy but it will keep you generally in the right area.
Oh, watching this thread with interest, we are planning to go this area in April \ May this year. Will take notes...
agree that Pisa doesn't need a lot of time.
But you don't need satnav, honestly.
We took one - Tomtom, full of online updates, for reference . It was hilariously confused when we landed at Pisa, I mean it was showing simultaneously on the same screen maps for London, Italy & France, & never recovered
But we managed in Tuscany with a fairly basic map (which we bought in Pisa, becuase of the useless Tomtom). Just get a decent map before you go & you will be fine
Thanks for all this advice, sat-nav will be packed! So it seems we can see quite a bit with little stress?!
Going to book hire car and hotels in the next week or so, thinking Just south of Florence for the hotel so it's easy to visit places, with the last couple of nights on Elba.
Arezzo is beautiful too.
We go to Tuscany every year and always visit Arezzo, sienna and lucca.
I stayed in Poggibonsi and visited Sienna and Florence...such a beautiful part of the world.
Montepulciano is lovely, as is San Gimigniano but also check out Arezzo - not quite as touristy.
Greve in Chianti is lovely - drive around that area - Castellina down to Siena. Don't go on the motorways if you can help it.
We stayed in Figline Val d'Arno - campsite in the mountains if you want a few days relaxing - they also have holiday homes etc.
It is very well worth spending a day in Sienna.

Agrimony Case-bearer
Tinea follicularis Vallot, 1802 Ornix troglodytella Duponchel, 1843. Hist. nat. Lep. Fr. Suppl. 4 (Noct.): 304. Coleophora follicularis (Vallot, 1802).
Leaf-miner and case-bearer: A slender straw coloured, three valved tubular silken case, about 10 mm long. Mouth angle about 30° (British leafminers).
A slender tubular silken case, about 10 mm long, straw coloured, three valved. Mouth angle about 30° (Bladmineerders van Europa).
Feeding traces are illustrated in the Encyclopedia of Life.
Larva: The larvae of moths have a head capsule and chewing mouthparts with opposable mandibles (see video of a gracillarid larva feeding), six thoracic legs and abdominal legs (see examples).
The larva is illustrated in Bladmineerders van Europa.
Pupa: The pupae of moths have visible head appendages, wings and legs which lie in sheaths (see examples).
Adult: The adult is illustrated in UKMoths and the Encyclopedia of Life. The male and female genitalia are illustrated by the Lepidoptera Dissection Group.
Hosts in Great Britain & Ireland:
Hosts elsewhere:
Time of year - larvae: August to September, then May to June when on Inula. July to August, then April to May when on Eupatorium (British leafminers).

BRIEF-Moody's says Georgia's Ba3 rating balances high growth rates with a small economy and low GDP per capita
* Moody's: Georgia's Ba3 rating balances high growth rates with a small economy and low GDP per capita
NEW YORK Feb 26 Ratings agency Standard & Poor's said on Tuesday that Italy's recent election would not immediately affect the country's sovereign rating but could in the future, leaving the euro zone's third biggest economy at investment grade for now.
Italy's political parties are still looking for a way forward after the weekend election gave no party a parliamentary majority, posing the threat of prolonged uncertainty stoking the European financial crisis.
"We believe the policy choices of the next government, once it is mandated by Italian President Giorgio Napolitano, will be a key factor for Italy's sovereign creditworthiness," S&P said in a statement.
The election results have brought back uncomfortable memories of 2011 and 2012, when Italian borrowing costs came close to being unsustainable and the euro zone teetered on the brink of collapse.
But S&P said that it still believes Italy will continue with fiscal consolidation, although worries remain that a new government might not be seen as having a strong enough mandate to push through other structural reforms to boost the economy.
The agency rates Italy BBB-plus. Fitch rates the country A-minus, and Moody's Investors Service rates Italy Baa2. All those ratings carry negative outlooks.
