If you've ever tasted a glass of water that came from a Reverse Osmosis system, you know that crisp, refreshing taste of pure, clean water that is incomparable to anything else.
Reverse Osmosis is defined as "a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one, thus equalizing the concentrations on each side of the membrane." Reverse Osmosis is simply the opposite of that process.
Reverse Osmosis or RO is a highly advanced and innovative process of filtering water. An RO filter has a semi-permeable membrane that by applying substantial amounts of pressure, allows clean water molecules to flow through while rejecting contaminants, dissolved solids, and other particles; thus removing sediment, toxic metals, bacteria, and chemicals.
A Reverse Osmosis system works in multiple stages. First, water passes through the particle filter to remove impurities like salt and sediment. Then the water passes through an activated carbon filter that removes minerals and contaminants such as chlorine, mercury and pesticides. The water is then forced through the membrane's tiny holes where the smallest impurities are trapped and only clean water passes through. Finally, the water flows through another activated carbon filter as a final polish to ensure all contaminants have been removed.
The Reverse Osmosis filtration process is highly effective and proven technology that removes over 99% of harmful contaminates including: Fluoride, Lead, Chlorine, Pesticides, Detergents, Nitrates & Sulfates. In addition to removing harmful contaminants, a Reverse Osmosis system also removes harmless nuisances that may change the look, smell or taste of your water. With an RO system, you'll have peace of mind knowing that your office is drinking clean, healthy and pure water.

The styling is dated after eight years of production. Even so, its slab-sided profile, augmented by sheetmetal that exhibits a chiseled appearance, is distinctly different from the crossover SUV pack. The look is helped by flared wheelwells, as well as squarish shoulders and sporadic creasing of the body metal.
More than most, the Journey slips into a middle ground between a traditional wagon and a modern SUV. Despite that styling difference, lacking the customary curves of a crossover SUV, the Journey could be perceived as a somewhat anonymous vehicle. Some might even dub it a relic of an earlier automotive era, but with merits and demerits similar to those of its modern competitors.
Smooth, simple and swooping in shape, the Journey's interior conveys less of a warmly upscale appearance than other Dodge models. Materials are high in quality, if dark, but offset by sufficient brightwork to reveal a little more upscale aura.
Dials and knobs are large, with fuss-free, easy-operating climate controls. The infotainment screen is big, too.
Seats are smartly arranged in the Journey's nicely configured, family-focused cabin, which contains many small storage spaces. The front seats are wide and accommodating.
Second-row seating is among the best in this size vehicle. The rear seatbacks adjust for rake, and the bench slides fore and aft several inches. The rear seats are contoured to fit adults. Sliding the second row forward eases access to the optional third row, where space is acceptable for smaller-size adults.
An extra step is needed to fold seats forward for cargo hauling, which results in a lower and flatter floor. Cargo space totals 37 cubic feet behind the second row; or 10.7 with the third row (if installed) raised. With only front seats up, it's 67.6 cubic feet.
Visibility can be an issue, due to the tall-shouldered design. A rearview camera is available on upper trim levels, helpful when backing up in this vehicle.
* The advertised price does not include sales tax, vehicle registration fees, other fees required by law, finance charges and any documentation charges. A negotiable administration fee, up to $115, may be added to the price of the vehicle.
* Images, prices, and options shown, including vehicle color, trim, options, pricing and other specifications are subject to availability, incentive offerings, current pricing and credit worthiness.

On year 30 Hijri or 651 Masehi, just ago vicinity 20 years of Rasulullah SAW's death, Utsman Ibn Affan RA's caliph transfers delegate to go to China to introduce Daulah Islam that haven't so long stand. Under way that eat time four its years, couriers Utsman apparently finds time stopover at archipelagic Archipelago. Next several years, correct it year 674 m, Umayyah's dynasty have instituted commerce base at Sumatra west coast. This is first acquaintanceship islandic Indonesian with Islam. Since then sailors and Moslem business man goes on to arrive, century after century. They buy to usufruct earth of nan's country this green while preaches.
By degrees indigene resident begins to hug despite Islam was massively. Acheh, west utmost region of archipelagic Archipelago, are first once accept islam. Even at Islamic royal Acheh first at standing Indonesia, namely Pasai. News from Marcopolo names that at the moment sojourn it at Pasai year 692 h / 1292 m, have a lot of Arab which broadcast Islam. So too news from Ibnu Battuthah, Moslem wanderer from Maghribi., one that while comes over at year Acheh 746 h / 1345 m set down that at Acheh being scattered by Syafi's sect' i.. There is remainder even eldest of Moslem clan that found at Indonesia exists at Gresik, East java. As komplek Islam sepulchre, one that one of among those is sepulchre a Muslimah named Fathimah Binti Maimun. On its sepulchre written by year number 475 h / 1082 m, which is on Singasari's royal era. Estimated by this sepulchre are not of aborigins, but sepulchre Arabic business man.
Until with 8th century h / 14 m, haven't available pengislaman Archipelago indigene resident on a large scale. New on 9th century h / 14 m, indigene resident hug massal's ala Islam. Expert history opines that its Islam input Archipelago resident on a large scale on that century is reverential Moslem clan that time has had meaning politics force. Which is marked by forming umpteen monarchy gets Islam pattern as royal as Darussalam's Acheh, Malacca, Demak, Cirebon, and ternate. Powers this monarchy half-breeds, indigene dynasty pre Islam and immigrants Arabic. Islamisasi's quick on 14th century and 15 m for example also because of its ebbing tries a fall and Hindu monarchy influences / Buddhist at Archipelago as Majapahit, Sriwijaya and Sunda. Thomas Arnold in The Preaching of is Islam say that Islamic arrival is not as conqueror as well as portuguese and Spain. Islam comes to South-east Asia by way of peace, are not with sabre, are not with grab politics power. Entering islam goes to Archipelago by one aptly point out it as rahmatan lil' alamin .
With its Islam input Archipelago indigene resident and be formed Islamic governances at various this archipelagic region, commerce with Moslem clan of Islamic the world center as getting hand in glove. Person Arab which gets migration to go to Archipelago also more and more. The greatest amongst those is indigenous Hadramaut, Yaman. In Tarikh Hadramaut , this migration even been said as the greatest along Hadramaut's history. But after Christian european nation arrive and greedily it gains control regions after regions at Archipelago, relationship is with center world Islamic one will be hung up. Particularly at 17th century and 18 Masehi. Its cause, besides since Moslem clan Archipelago busied by resistance opposes colonization, also because regulation sort that created by colonialist clan. Every time colonists especially Dutch subdue Islam monarchy at Archipelago, they must release agreement that its forbidden content royal that commerce associate with world outer but via they. Therefore hung up by ummat's relationship Archipelago Islam with ummat Islam of other nations already been interlaced beratus hundred years. Colonialist clan wish to keep away ummat Archipelago Islam with its root, also appears from their policy that complicate integration among Arabic person with indigene.
After early its coming european nation at the early Masehi's 15th century goes to this palmy archipelago, really was seen them edacious character to gain control. Evenless they mendapati that fact this archipelagic resident have hugged Islam, their foe religion, so even Crusade spirit always been taken in every time they subdue a region. In memerangi their Islam works equal to indigene monarchy that stills to follow Hindu / Buddhist. One example, to decide Moslem clan fairway, therefore afters gain control Malacca on year 1511, Portugis interlaces collaboration with royal Sunda Pajajaran to build one base at Sunda coconut. But this Portugis's intention merging team afters totally failed Islamic of along Java northern coast shoulders to shoulder batters they on year 1527 M. battle outgrows that historic it headed by an Acheh son bleeds Gujarat's Arab, which is Fadhilah Al Pasai's Khan, one that more famous with its title, Fathahillah. Before becomes big shot at three Javanese Islamic monarchies, namely Demak, Cirebon and Banten, Fathahillah finds time to learn at Makkah. Even comes on to keep Makkah of Utsmani's Turkish assault.
Colonialist clan arrival at single-sided have impassioned jihad moslem clan Archipelago, but on the other side makes pendalaman believe Islam not merata. Just circle pesantren (madrasah) only that mendalami keislaman, that even usually confines to Syafi's sect' i.. Meanwhile on Moslem clan mostly, believe mixing happening with tradition pre Islam. priyayi's circle that close to Dutch on the contrary have terjangkiti Europe life style. Condition of as it at least still happening until now. Despite it, ulama ulama is Archipelago is peopled one persistenting to oppose colonization. Even a lot of within they what do come from tarekat's circle, but just circle tarekat this is that frequent arouses to defy colonist. And even in the end each its resistance successful ditumpas with nasty tactics, but history hasn'ted millions fall Archipelago martyr on battle sort against Dutch. Since Islamic monarchy resistances at century 16 and 17 as Malacca (Malaysia), Sulu (Philippine), Pasai, Banten, Sunda is coconut, Makassar, ternate, until resistance ulama at century 18 as Martial As Cirebon (Nicely rangin), Javanese martial (diponegoro), Priest martial (Bulge priest), and Acheh Martial (Teuku Umar).

Well, yesterday was a really special day! One of our sweet investigators got baptized. Since the moment I met her she has been such an example to me of endurance and diligence. It has been an honor to have been given the opportunity to meet with her and help her make that next big step. I think one of the special things about helping other people prepare to be baptized is the opportunity we have to look back upon our own baptism day and remember the commitments we made to Heavenly Father. What's even cooler is the fact that we are given an opportunity each and every week to remember those promises as we participate in taking the sacrament.
Speaking of the which, we were able to teach one of our investigators about the importance of the sacrament this week. (She is this adorable thirteen year old that I can't help but to love!) That really meant a lot to me because I always seem to learn the most when I am studying on behalf of other people. There's something special about the way you learn when you are studying as a means of preparation to teach someone else. But, long story short, I am so grateful for the opportunity we are given each week to partake of the sacrament. If I remember correctly, the last general conference we had actually put a lot of emphasis on the sacrament. It's something that we should look forward to doing each week. I think the best word there is to describe it is the word "renewal." It's a time to reflect upon the events of the week, whether good or bad, and to look for ways to be and do better throughout the upcoming week. I'm so grateful that I am able to "start fresh" each and every week.
We had a combined zone conference with another zone this past week. It was an awesome conference. It's always good to see old friends and to be given instruction and guidance from our leaders. This last conference was really neat. I actually got to meet the doctor who worked with me throughout the time that I was sick. He and his wife live in Japan, so when I was sick we just talked with him via phone calls. Meeting him in person was kind of a surreal thing thouugh. He came to our mission and did training in all of the zone conferences that happened this week. I didn't think I'd ever actually be able to meet him during the course of my mission. But hey, what do I know?
President Morrise shared a really cool analogy with me this week that I wanted to share with you! So I shared with him a couple of frustrations I've been having over the past couple of weeks and this was his response:
"Sister Bagley, back at my home in America, I remember always looking at my front lawn and thinking, 'Man, why does my lawn look so bad? There are these brown spots all over.' Every time I'd go outside to examine it, all I'd see is a bunch of brown spots. One day, however, after I had crossed the street to visit a neighbor, as I turned around and proceeded to head back to my own home, I saw this green, lovely, beautiful lawn. Sure, when I got back to my yard and began to examine it closely again, I could still see the brown spots. But what I learned from that experience is that we are the ones who examine and judge ourselves from a very close perspective. What we don't realize as we're doing that, is the fact that when we see the brown spots in our own lawn, all our neighbors (who have a very different perspective) can see is a well-kept, beautiful green lawn."
As the imperfect humans that we are, we have the tendency to be harsher on ourselves in our imperfections than we are on anybody else. We see the little brown spots when others can only see the green. I think that too often we expect more of ourselves than our Heavenly Father expects of us. As a missionary, I always feel the need to be better at Korean, better at teaching, better at everything, really. We expect all of these things from ourselves and yet all that our Father in Heaven expects of us is that we do our best. So it's silly to focus on the little brown spots when there is so much more GREEN. We should recognize our imperfections, but we should recognize them as opportunities to overcome ourselves and as reasons to rely more fully upon the Savior and His atonement. Our imperfections are not what hold us back-- they what motivates us to move forward.
A LOT has happened this week. Being a missionary is so cool. Seriously, my job is just to work hard and in return Heavenly Father shows us countless miracles each and every day. This is His work, this is His gospel, and we are His children. I've never been more sure of it.
I hope you're smiling lots and helping others to feel His love this week. I'm happy and well, don't worry about me.
I love you to the moon and back!
Sister Bagley
p.s. it's been cold, but like kind of a warmer-cold for the past couple of weeks. But yesterday it all of a sudden started snowing like crazy and now Korea looks like Christmas. IT'S AWESOME.
also, double p.s. Sister Giles and I ended up buying these grandma dress pajama things. And mine is officially my NEW favorite thing. Like, it's softer than any soft thing I've ever felt in my whole life. It's the best.

An urgent appeal for donations has been issued by Age UK Lancashire after a fire at their Clitheroe charity shop.
Donations of unwanted clothing are desperately needed after a large amount of stock was damaged by a recent fire.

text: SOUTH BEND -- At some point between posing for a Tribune photographer and admiring "The Comedy of Errors" set, Jay Paul Skelton divulges the story behind his three-part name. His given moniker is Gerald Paul Skelton Jr., but he was simply Jay to his Massachusetts family. When Skelton decided to move to Chicago in 1993, his friends gave him an unusual going-away present. "They sent me to a psychic in the woods of New Hampshire," Skelton says, laughing. "Her name was Ramona Garcia. She ... told me that the combination of my name that's most advantageous is Jay Paul Skelton." He pauses, then adds, "It's silly, but what if it's not?" That statement, as flippant as it sounds, may best describe the producing artistic director for the University of Notre Dame's Summer Shakespeare program. Skelton is part pragmatist, part gambler. He's methodical yet tempered by an artist's imagination. It's that dichotomy that makes Skelton the perfect successor to founder Paul Rathburn. This year's mainstage production, "The Comedy of Errors," opens this week, but Skelton's first year has been about much more than the mainstage production. From his direction of The Young Company's "The Brothers Menaechmus" to his expansion of ShakeScenes, it's evident that Skelton not only has the passion to produce quality theater, he has the wherewithal to move the program forward. "He's really had a unifying effect on Summer Shakespeare," ShakeScenes coordinating director Deborah Girasek-Chudzynski says. "He wants us to grow as actors and directors, and makes sure that happens. ... There's a feeling we're all in this together." Skelton, who turned 41 in June, was a bit of a bookworm as a child living just outside of Boston. One of the first things he remembers reading? "Stories From Shakespeare." "That must be what started me on this road," he says. "I used to keep a log of all the books I read." Skelton went to Babson College in Wellesley, Mass., to become an accountant "because I liked balancing my checkbook," he says. Instead, he graduated with a marketing and communications degree in 1987. His first job out of college was in the marketing department of the Huntington Theatre Company in Boston. "Part of the job was to attend rehearsals of productions to get an idea of how to market it better," Skelton says. "I spent more and more time at rehearsals. ... That's when I decided I didn't want to just market theater, I wanted to make theater." He had been involved in theater at Babson, and began directing plays in Boston, but something was missing. "I was pretty sound at making pictures onstage, but I was missing the actor's language," he says. "I didn't know how to talk to actors." Exit, stage Midwest, for a master's degree in fine arts at DePaul University in Chicago. "Chicago is a wonderful town for young theater artists," Skelton says. "It's about the work. It's not about anything else but 'Let us do good work.' " He decided to stay in Chicago, and since 1993, he has written, produced or directed 80 productions. When the opportunity to join the faculty at Notre Dame came along, however, he jumped at the chance. "If I got to the interview process, I'd be happy," he says. "I didn't think it would go beyond that. Then it was, 'You're in the final 10,' then the final four." He made it to the final two, but the job went to colleague Anton Juan. Juan couldn't start until January 2005, so Skelton was asked if he'd be interested in being a visiting professor for a semester. That semester became two. Those two became a faculty appointment, which included Summer Shakespeare. Perhaps the biggest challenge, he says, has been the inclusion of Summer Shakespeare into the theater curriculum. Rathburn taught Shakespeare in the English department from 1965 to 2000, and as professor emeritus, directed the program independent of any college curriculum. "One of the things right away that challenged us," Skelton says, "was negotiating that relationship." Skelton was quick to get faculty and students more involved in the program. He offered a directing workshop in April and opened up rehearsals to onlooks for "The Brothers Menaechmus." "I wanted to show Summer Shakespeare as one organization," he says. "All of these elements work together as a theatrical experience." It's that philosophy that quickly won over the myriad actors, directors and production crew members involved in Summer Shakespeare. "Jay is exceptionally good at putting people at ease," "Comedy of Errors" lighting designer Kevin Dreyer says. "Because he has an understanding of the creative side, it's not just dollars and cents. He's not going to sacrifice a show just for the numbers." Ramona Garcia saw it coming.

I grew up in Alaska, on the Kenai Peninsula, a very busy, tourist oriented area where the largest Salmon, Trout, Moose and Brown Bear are located. I began coming to Sedona many years ago as a warm retreat from the 40 below zero cold winters in Alaska. I moved permanently to Sedona in 1999.
My family were contractors and land developers, I started out in the real estate business selling our Custom Model Homes in subdivisions my family developed in the 1980's, and then expanded to selling other real estate as clients asked me to help sell their properties.
The stunning beauty of the Sedona area, coupled with the incredible open spaces, hiking, horseback and bike riding trails appealed to my spirit of adventure.
I enjoy assisting others locate and purchase their dream home. Sometimes I help sell a property when a client needs to relocate, downsize or upsize. Helping families find their perfect home with the least amount of stress during the transition is my goal. I love my job!

-May be followed with cosmetics, moisturizers, or sunscreen.

Brazil RPCV Bill Reese to head International Youth Foundation
Brazil RPCV Bill Reese to head International Youth Foundation
International Youth Foundation Board Announces New President & CEO
December 22, 2004
Sir David Bell, Chair of the International Youth Foundation's (IYF) board and Chairman of the Financial Times Group, announced today the election of William S. Reese as IYF's President and CEO, effective January 1, 2005.
"Bill Reese has served IYF with enormous effectiveness for nearly seven years as our Chief Operating Officer, expanding our global partner network and building public-private alliances to improve the lives of young people across the globe," said David Bell. "Our Board is excited about the new opportunities ahead, and sees a seamless transition."
The IYF Board took this decision at their end-of-year board meeting in Paris, after current CEO David W. Hornbeck announced his intentions to leave IYF to help launch a national grass roots advocacy initiative to promote the interests of children and youth.
For more information contact Karen Diakun, Vice President, Communications at +1-410-951-2328, email@example.com or go to www.iyfnet.org
"It has been a real privilege to serve IYF for these past 15 months," said Hornbeck. "The committed staff and Board, the strength of a worldwide partner network, and programs making visible differences in young lives – all these made this decision very difficult. However, my growing concern about the challenges faced by children and youth, especially the poor and others living at the margins, both in the United States and abroad has led me to this decision. Basic opportunities and protections for them need to be strengthened through advocacy. These challenges can only be met if ordinary citizens take action. Thus, I will devote my energies fulltime to help build a national grassroots movement for change."
IYF was founded in 1990 to promote positive youth development and improve the conditions and prospects for young people. It operates today in close to 70 countries and territories through a network of nationally operating foundations and NGOs, together focusing efforts in the areas of education, employment, health and youth leadership. Major funding partners and stakeholders include global corporations, foundations and bi-lateral agencies.
Added Chairman Bell: "IYF has had a remarkable year in 2004, including the expansion of programs that have yielded measurable results for children and youth around the world and the establishment of partnerships bringing new resources totaling more than $33 million. We highly commend David Hornbeck for the significant contributions he has made over the past year and look forward to Bill Reese assuming his new role in 2005."
"I am honored to be asked to lead this organization that invests in proven strategies and believes in creating lasting and positive change in young people's lives," said Reese. "The fact that half the world's population is under 25 calls for IYF and its partners to empower young people and give them the skills and opportunities they need to be successful and contribute to their communities."

WWII participants became RPCVs
Read about two RPCVs who participated in World War II in very different ways long before there was a Peace Corps. Retired Rear Adm. Francis J. Thomas (RPCV Fiji), a decorated hero of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, died Friday, Jan. 21, 2005 at 100. Mary Smeltzer (RPCV Botswana), 89, followed her Japanese students into WWII internment camps. We honor both RPCVs for their service.

Bush's FY06 Budget for the Peace Corps
The White House is proposing $345 Million for the Peace Corps for FY06 - a $27.7 Million (8.7%) increase that would allow at least two new posts and maintain the existing number of volunteers at approximately 7,700. Bush's 2002 proposal to double the Peace Corps to 14,000 volunteers appears to have been forgotten. The proposed budget still needs to be approved by Congress.

Senator Norm Coleman, Chairman of the Senate Subcommittee that oversees the Peace Corps, says in an op-ed, A chance to show the world America at its best: "Even as that worthy agency mobilizes a "Crisis Corps" of former Peace Corps volunteers to assist with tsunami relief, I believe an opportunity exists to rededicate ourselves to the mission of the Peace Corps and its expansion to touch more and more lives."

It keeps moving over to the far left screen and staying there. An orange box is around the wireless icon, which I've had to turn off twice. When I have mail open a transparent "received" screen flashes off and on - often. Its never done that in the 8 months I've had the phone. Today its become an even bigger problem. While I am typing in the message screen or the email screen the cursor keeps jumping around on me. When I type in a period the cursor goes backward. Typed several words backwards.

Austin, TX (PRWEB) April 09, 2012
Mercom Capital Group, llc, a global clean energy communications and consulting firm, today released its report on funding and mergers and acquisition (M&A) activity for the solar sector during the first quarter of 2012.
Venture Capital (VC) funding in the solar sector was off to a slow start in Q1 2012. VC funding for the quarter came to $329 million in 34 deals, the lowest dollar amount recorded since Q4 2010; however, VC investors were still very active in the sector with a record 34 deals funded, the highest ever recorded in the solar industry.
"While VC's interest in the solar sector remains strong, their appetite for risk appears to be lower as the average VC funding round amount in Q1 was $10 million, compared to $18 million in 2011," said Raj Prabhu, Managing Partner at Mercom Capital Group.
"To add to the current over capacity problems, policy changes and lower tariff announcements in some of the largest solar markets, such as Germany and Italy, will all contribute to an uncertain 2012," Prabhu continued. "We can expect a more cautious approach to investing in the solar sector this year."
There was strong M&A activity in the solar sector totaling $5 billion in 15 transactions, however only four of these transactions disclosed details. The spike in M&A amounts was mainly due to the $4.7 billion acquisition of Solutia, a performance and specialty chemicals company with products in PV encapsulants, performance films for PV and CSP products and heat transfer fluids for CSP plants, by Eastman Chemicals Company. Other significant M&A transactions included the $275 million acquisition of Oerlikon Solar, a producer of equipment and turnkey manufacturing lines for thin film amorphous silicon and tandem junction technology, by Tokyo Electron, and Andrem Power's $274 million acquisition of 3W Power (a holding company of AEG Power Solutions), a provider of power controller for polysilicon production, solar inverters and monitoring and control systems for photovoltaic power plants.
The first quarter of 2012 also saw 11 new cleantech and solar-focused investment funds announced committing $5.7 billion. A significant positive event for the solar sector in Q1 was the Initial Public Offering (IPO) of the microinverter company Enphase Energy, which raised $62 million as part of its offering.
The top five funding deals made up about 60 percent of the total funding in this quarter, led by $81 million by SolarCity, a pioneer in the solar lease model. Three of the five top companies to receive funding also included MiaSolé, Nanosolar and AQT Solar, all CIGS companies, raising $94 million in total. Maintaining last year's trend, with half a billion dollars raised in 2011, CIGS companies continued to receive the most amount of VC funding as a technology group.
There were 56 different VC investors that participated in the 34 deals. Venture capital firms that recorded multiple rounds included Black Coral Capital and Firelake Capital Management. The United States continued to be the dominant country for VC investments, accounting for about 80 percent of all VC funding in the first quarter.

First, cut out two rectangles of fabric and backing. One 36x15cm and one 10x6cm.
Iron the backing to the back of the fabric. While you are at it, fold the big rectangle lengthwise with the back outside. Iron it flat. Fold the small rectangle lengthwise with the right side out. Then fold the two "wings" again lengthwise. Iron it flat and sew along the edge.
Sew along the edge of the folded large rectangle with 1cm allowance. Leave one of the sides open.
Cut away the allowance on two sides.
Turn i inside out and iron it.
Turn the fabric on the open side to form a "lip".
Sew it shut close to the edge.
Fold the piece into a "Z".
Lay it flat
Fold it lengthwise and sew a bout 1cm away from the fold about 1 cm length.
Fold the two long sides towards the middle and hold it like this:
Looks like a bow tie already... Secure it in place with a little stitching in the middle.
Now, take the small long rectangle you prepared earlier and hold its end against the back of thew bow. Wrap it around the middle, cut the overstanding part off (or fold it in) and sew it to form a ring.
Now you can put an elastic band through the ring to put the bow tie on. Or use a clip. Or sew a nicer ribbon with the same fabric.

Looks great! Can you do a skinpack out of it? Collecting them in one package makes it easy
It's too bad that Vin Petrol's 64 different Nascar paint jobs are going to waste now.There was a lot of great work there.I wonder if he'd go for it if someone offered to make a skinpack or even full mod based on his Nascar Legends mod.
In the custom parts section, being able to select different colored rims would be very handy.Either that or the ability to use the paint controls like we can do with the bodies.Being able to set either one of those for the AI would also be great.Being able to create our own career series or events with that would also be very handy.I'm curious to see what the next update or final version brings.
Cool. For the official Bugbear cars that are all packed into a single vhcl file, I'd tried copying sub-parts from official cars over to other cars but it hadn't worked. I take it that I was doing something wrong.I haven't found a way to import their official vhcl files into a 3D program. I can only export to vhcl.That means that I could only mess with Bagedit. Trying to copy over sub-parts of meshes that way didn't workSeparate vhcl custom parts for the Rammers would make everything easier.

Harvesting in Prince Edward County, just in time for new rules on Ontario wines
By winecase | Published: October 15, 2009
I'd call that an auspicious sign. Just as I was heading to the vineyards of Prince Edward County to harvest chardonnay at Closson Chase, on Tuesday evening, the Ontario government came out with new rules governing VQA and Cellared in Canada wines. These new rules give a push forward to VQA wines by introducing financial support – [...]

Jay Regan takes listeners on a musical journey back in time. Going through some select history of rock, Regan brings us a fifteen track album of rock'n'roll variation in 'Wash Me'. Right from the outset there is some interesting bit of folk rock (Poison style), complete with organ, tambourine, harmonies, and a tale about whisky, wine, and women. This 'Whiskey Song' is very aptly titled, and full of some hilarious, ambient elements of storytelling.
Seeming like he just 'Can't Let Go' of the past, Regan really brings home some classic sounds, especially with the layered vocals, and thin mixing. This, an intentional part of the project, one hopes, because it fits the throwback sound so thoroughly. One is reminded of Rick Springfield in some instances. Of course this sound can very often 'Grow' from the independent production of album like this, but I will maintain it Regan's musical intention. Because either way…it works.
It's not always the easiest to get the lyrics in the thin mixing of the album, especially with the layering. But the lyrics are nothing if not honest. And "truth be told" he even has a song for his 'Dad'. And while it's in the style of Poison's 'I Won't Forget You', it is a bouncier, and touching tune of its own merit. And he's right: "It's not a weakness when you tell someone you care". That line is enough to sell me on the honesty of Regans lyrics.
Not sure if anyone knew this, but apparently the 'March of the Romans' was one hell of a funky thing. Of course this is ultimately a lyrical ass-kicking of the United States. And it is a full song. Horns, keys, funky guitar…the only thing I think it could be lacking is a far more interesting bass line. Bass licks are just right at home in funk. Releasing this album just at the start of April, there is some allusion to imminent conflict. And you know, Regan's probably not wrong. "The other side is sure to attack"…
But for something completely different musically (not thematically), 'Little Fish' really gives a Peter, Paul, and Mary vibe. Jay Regan is indeed an eclectic musician. And given that the album has fifteen tracks on it, this is definitely for the best. The first few songs really have the some thing going for them comparatively to the incredibly sharp turn the rest of the album takes. Wonderful.
Regan may be 'Forever Changed, Forever Lost', but that could just be because he takes another turn at Americana, and digs into yet another rock genre. To really understand the shifting of this album; the musical journey it takes the listener on, make sure to check it out 'Wash Me' right over HERE. Considering that Regan did absolutely everything on his own for this album, he alone could not 'How Hard It Can Be' (perhaps my favourite track on the album). And it's worthwhile checking out the finished product of so much work.

18th C
All wading with gentlemen up to their necks
And view them so prettily tumble and sprawl
In a great smoking kettle as big as our hall."
So wrote Christopher Anstey in the "New Bath Guide," which Margaret Gainsborough might well have read when it was published in 1766, the year the family moved into this house in The Circus.
Gainsborough was always deeply concerned about his own and his family's health. He was highly strung and not at all robust.
Presumably he and Margaret bathed in and drank the famous Bath waters like the majority of residents and visitors. Just how frequently the Gainsboroughs visited the King's Bath below their windows in Abbey House is not known, but clearly they had every opportunity to pop down every day had they wished to do so.
In the four years he lived there Thomas painted his first masterpiece, a full-length portrait of Ann Ford, a beautiful amateur musician who was soon to marry Margaret's old bugbear, Philip Thickness. In this period too, Gainsborough's work was first exhibited by the Society of Artists in London.
He was pushing himself too hard at this time and in 1763, exhausted by overwork, he became seriously ill. Situated as it was, in the lowest part of the town, Abbey House suffered from the smoke and dirt and polluted air so well documented by contemporary writers, but it also offered instant access to the waters, Bath's greatest gift to the afflicted, or so it was believed in the 18thC.
The original Roman spa was known as Aquae Sulis. It was then and remains now the only area of hot water springs in the UK. This natural spring of hot water appeared magical to the Romans, who were notoriously fond of bathing, and the baths were popular for three hundred years from 1 AD to 4 AD.
As the Roman Empire declined, the number of pilgrims visiting the spa fell and the Roman buildings around it collapsed. The hot water flowed away into the river Avon below, largely ignored by the world. In medieval times the church owned the land around the springs and the monks are believed to have used the hot waters rising within the grounds of the Abbey for medicinal purposes.
In the 12th C Bishop John de Villula built The King's Bath. The Cross and Hot Baths were probably built about the same time. Following the dissolution of the monasteries in the 1550's ownership of the baths passed from the Abbey to the Bath Corporation. Its current successor, Bath and North East Somerset Council, now runs them as a highly successful tourist attraction visited by the majority of Bath's three million visitors each year.

Hold your horses! Just when I thought that little hip-hop tune about Jonas Valanciunas couldn't be topped, I did some more research on the band and found out that O'Grime (featuring Nikolais Javan and L.Rey) also wrote a rap song about the Miami Heat's Zydrunas Ilgauskas earlier in the Summer. They even throw a shout-out to our Canadian boy Joel Anthony!
This reminds me of Hainser's tribute to Nate Dogg. Just when you thought the first soundbite provided by Bronsteter was the only one, he then pulls another hidden gem out of his pocket.
O'Grime are becoming my new favourite hip-hop groups to rap about NBA players – well the only group I know to rap about NBA players. But who cares, I can't wait to hear what's next…Tristan Thompson? Valanciunas' Lithuanian teammate Rimas Kaukenas (via Tim Micallef)?

During the years that Shang Tsung had sponsored the Mortal Kombat tournaments on Earth, the Outworld master Bo' Rai Cho was secretly training warriors for competition. It is even speculated that it was he who brought the fighting style of Drunken Boxing to Earthrealm. After many years, he finally discovered the Shaolin monk Liu Kang and taught him the martial arts moves he needed to defeat Shang Tsung. Later, with the tournament securely in the hands of the Shaolin, his teachings were no longer needed and he returned to Outworld.
Bo' Rai Cho had been unable to compete against Shang Tsung in the Mortal Kombat tournament on Earth. His Outworld birthplace guaranteed that his victory would have been in the name of Shao Kahn. But the conflict this time was not a tournament to prevent an evil emperor from consuming another realm. This time the battle was to save his own realm from the tyranny of two evil sorcerers. Nothing could hold him back from the challenge that lay before him. The wrath of Bo' Rai Cho would be unleashed once again.

Bo' Rai Cho looked gruff, but beamed inwardly. With their victory over the Deadly Alliance complete, he and Kung Lao had liberated Outworld from its latest threat. Despite the years that had passed since training his last student, his skills had proven useful once more. He was elated, but it would be most inappropriate to express such emotions in front of his newest apprentice.
Kung Lao invited his master to return with him to Earthrealm, to teach more warriors at the Wu Shi Academy. The success of his apprentice gave him renewed confidence in his training skills and, for the first time, a clear purpose in life. Bo' Rai Cho offered only token resistence. He accepted the offer because the defenders of Earthrealm could certainly use his help. But more importantly, because Earthrealm's rice wine put Outworlds liquor to shame.

Kelly Ann - posted on 09/26/2012 ( 1 mom has responded )
for all you moms out there who think that you are having trouble with their teens or not, I insist, for the sake of your relationship with your child, that you read this. i would like to start off with saying that I am not a mom, I am actually a 17 year old boy who has a wonderful mother whom you all could learn a lot from. I have read through many of the posts made on this site and the way you moms are going about raising your teens will hinder the potential of your relationships greatly. i have read comments from moms suggesting how to ground kids for different circumstances and the truth is grounding is almost never the answer. i know you are all just scared, want the best for your child, and don't know what else to do, but there is another way that gives you the opportunity to build a healthy, strong relationship with your child. i will use the example of alcohol and marijuana use. it is inevitable that your child will be exposed to these substances and no matter how great of a child you think you have, i know first hand that they will most likely try these. the mistake that most parents make is that they immediately ground their child after finding out they have done these things. this solves absolutely nothing. this only results in more lies and a worse relationship. the first thing you need to do is realize that these substances will not ruin your child's life and unless you lock them in the house for their four years of high school they will be exposed. freaking out and grounding them will teach them that they cannot trust you. I am 17 and i know that when kids my age get grounded they do not think "man I better not do that again." They think "man now I have to be twice as careful and lie to my parents even more." The first thing you need to do is realize that in moderation, these things are ok. You may be thinking that if you let your kid go party they will go way overboard, however if you make them understand that they can trust you, you can teach them moderation and they are much better off in the long run. This one is especially difficult, but you need to make your kid understand that they can go to you with ANYTHING. This is the only way to have a full, trusting relationship. The most important thing is trust. And I can assure you that most of your kids have very little trust in you, and rightfully so. They know that you would freak out at them if they ever told you what they really do with their friends. Your kids will make mistakes, they are teens, but the important thing is that you can teach them what they did wrong and have them understand why that would be bad for them in the long run. Don't just lock them in their rooms and take away video games; that solves absolutely nothing. I encourage you to comment and ask any questions. Good luck to all you moms, and remember, trust is the most important thing.

Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (Part 2) teaser showcases Kristen Stewart's vampire stare
After the ten second teaser teaser last week, THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN (PART 2) debuted the full teaser in front of THE HUNGER GAMES this past weekend.
Teaser is the operative word because this 48 second clip (that is including titles and MPAA rating at the start) barely shows anything at all about the film. I am sure fans of the franchise were beyond excited by this footage, but once again I am left wondering if there is anything going on in these movies.
I have gotten into heated debates with a friend of mine who is a massive fan of the series and there has yet to be a single redeemable thing said to try and get me the least bit interested in it. But, for all of you true fans out there, here you go.
So we get shots of Bella running through the woods, brooding Edward and Jacob, and a really bad case of pink eye. If the full trailer comes back and blows me away, I would be shocked. The only thing that even kept my attention was the prospect of seeing Kristen Stewart maul a deer and eat it raw, if only because that girl needs a sandwich, bad.
THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN (PART 2) opens November 16, 2012.
|Extra Tidbit:
|If Jennifer Lawrence had starred in TWILIGHT instead of Kristen Stewart, I may have watched it.

100 Greatest Singers of all time…per Rolling Stone…
I ran across this article today, not sure how old it is (2008?) but I thought I'd pass it along to see what you think.
I don't know who this "panel of 179 experts" is….but this list is pretty jacked up in my opinion. Christina Aguilera above Mariah? Bob Dylan above Stevie Wonder? Barbara Streisand, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Celine Dion, Pavarotti, Bocelli and Chaka Khan completely left off? I know it's hard to rank singers that are from different eras and genres, but still the innovators should be before the copycats. And true vocalists above showmen….showmanship and entertainment value doesn't equate a greatest singer of all time in my book….that needs its own list so they can place Madonna, David Bowie, etc…on that one. Bob Dylan has a terrible voice…great songwriter and performer? Sure….but SINGER?
Top 25 for me would be:
- Aretha Franklin – they had this one right.
- Ella Fitzgerald
- Barbara Streisand – she's not my personal fave, but I have mad respect for her huge range and control
- Stevie Wonder
- Bobby McFerrin – yes the acapella genious – don't judge off "Don't worry, be happy" – check out his youtube performances and you'll be BLOWN AWAY of what he is capable of producing out of just his body and a microphone.
- Michael Jackson
- Whitney Houston
- Kim Burrell
- Sting
- Prince
- Mariah Carey
- Chaka Khan
- Tina Turner
- Celine Dion
- Louis Armstrong
- Steve Perry
- Phil Collins…yes, mainstream, but I have always been a big fan.
- Yolanda Adams
- Steven Tyler
- Anne Wilson
- Sarah McLaughlin…why? Because she was the first person I heard to mix yodeling into mainstream music and her breathiness is beautiful too
- Mavis Staples – that low range with the feel and "stank" she put on everything!
- Jill Scott – to mix spoken word, soul, opera and jazz….she is a HUGE inspiration to me
- Patti Labelle
It was almost impossible to put these in any kind of order….but they are my personal faves as far as innovating style within their genres, vocal techniques and ranges. This list has NOTHING to do with their stage presence or entertainment value….just vocal abilities. Frank Sinatra and others would have definitely made my list of top 50, but….I don't have all day to ponder these things!

Continued funding for immigration and refugee legal aid
Thanks to discussions between the federal and provincial governments, the Legal Services Society has received a commitment for additional immigration and refugee funding that will ensure the continuation of services to the end of the 2017/18 fiscal year (March 31, 2018).
The two levels of government continue to discuss funding for the 2018/19 fiscal year. LSS has provided them with an analysis of the anticipated demand for immigration and refugee services in 2018/19 which indicates that a significant increase to the base funding of $1.9 million will be needed. Funding for 2018/19 will probably not be resolved until early 2019.

Dating apps: When it snows, they swipe (and like)
When the snow falls, everyone wants someone to cuddle with–and those who don't have anyone on hand head to dating apps.
Hinge, a dating app that has abandoned swiping in favor of a "likes" system, claims to be more effective at turning matches into conversations. During 2017's winter storm "Stella," which hit the northeast in mid-March, Hinge saw a 10x increase in conversations initiated on the app. And back in 2015 Hinge saw a 47 percent spike in activity during winter storm "Juno."
"Hinge typically sees a spike every time a snow storm hits with singles busy planning their snow day dates. We expect to see an increase in Hinge usage...leading up to the "bomb cyclone" and continuing through the storm," said Jean-Marie McGrath, Director of Communications at Hinge.
Tinder saw a 10 percent increase in matches during January 2016's "Snowmageddon;" the top cities for Tinder activity were New York, Boston and Philadelphia.

Related: Most right-swiped professions on Tinder
In a 2016 release, Tinder Sociologist, Dr. Jess Carbino said [snow storms] "may be a great time to use Tinder because most people want to stay indoors, leaving them without too many things to do – you can only Netflix binge for so long."
Related: Where the single people live in southwestern Connecticut
Here in Connecticut, your best bet is to swipe and like in Bridgeport, where the highest percentage of single people lives. Danbury, Norwalk and Stanford aren't bad bets either.
