The bell is sent to you with the swinging arm fixed. The wheel is packed separately. The following points will guide you in erecting the bell.
At one end of the swinging accessory, there is a slot (Gadi) in the shaft. The swinging wheel has to be inserted into the shaft in such a way that the threaded hole part is at the outer side. The fastener bolt (8) should be tightened through the thread on the wheel until it fits firmly in the slot.
Fix the shaft ends on strong wooden blocks (10) which are spaced exactly in order to accommodate the end bushes.
Attach the bearings at the edges of the shaft (6) (The bearings should be close to the bell to prevent any horizontal movement of the bell). The tongue or striker (5) is to be attached to the centre bolt (3) and fastened with a bolt nut and a check nut.
Pass the end of the rope (11) through the hole in the wheel (4) and knot the rope at the inner side of the wheel. The rope should be twined twice around the wheel groove. This will facilitate giving strokes on either side of the bell. The rope should be tied loosely at two or three places on the wheel. This will prevent slipping of the rope from the groove while operating the bell.
Please ensure that the bearings are lubricated with grease at regular intervals (at least once in three months).

BK X Dalí
The Metamorphosis of Social Narcissism
36 x 48" Acrylic on canvas, 2013
This painting is from Dalí's Paranoiac-critical period. According to Greek mythology, Narcissus fell in love with his own reflection in a pool. Unable to embrace the watery image, he pined away, and the gods immortalized him as a flower. Dali completed this painting in 1937 on his long awaited return to Paris after having had great success in the United States.
The painting shows Narcissus sitting in a pool, gazing down. Not far away there is a decaying stone figure which corresponds closely to him but is perceived quite differently; as a hand holding up a bulb or egg from which a Narcissus is growing. It a beautiful scene depicted in rich hues and is easily considered one of Dali's greatest works.
The title and mythology connection made this reinterpretation flow with greater ease than the rest. This was another moment when I felt like Salvador gave me a lay-up. The myth deals with self-obsession, the title was in the name and the Metamorphosis of Social Narcissism was born.
The central focus evolved around app icons of various social platforms. Just as the egg was his focal point, I had to place the hottest and most relevant app, Instagram. The previous center of attention, Facebook, in the same position where Narcissus rested. A few years ago, MySpace would have been on the left, Facebook on the right. The reality of how times change is evident in the water., and the condition of the "Vine" app, considering recent events, its no surprise. The various logos littered across the landscape are destined to change and reposition, but it will always remain as a part of our life. The checkerboard of of Dali on the right in transformed into computer keys and read "M E ME ME"
Our social world, so it says, is designed to connect us. Bring power to the people with a forum for us to communicate openly. We used to shake hands, now we "add friends." We used to console each other, now we comment. If your reading this, put your phone down so you get the message.
Just like Narcissus, we can't stop staring at ourselves, staring at each other, waiting for someone to say something. We used to touch each other and feel. Now we poke? We used to pen letters in poor handwriting on blue lined paper. When it arrived in rain stained envelopes, the excitement was even greater.. The more beat up the better. Now we text message, email and notify each other with san serif fonts in blue and green bubbles and wonder why we are de-humanized and de-sensitized to the plight of our fellow man. True story though, your probably friends on Facebook and don't even know it, kind of like the face on the lower left , a stranger you'd never expect to see.
What if Salvador Dali was born in 1983 instead of 1904?
Imagine his childhood filled with images of urban America instead of the beautiful countrysides of Spain. What would his work look like if he painted out of a studio in Brooklyn, a product of this generation, influenced by our fashion, music, and style?
Envision a Salvador painting about the issues facing modern society, inspired by things like the internet, social media, corporate America, politics, religion, and more. Witness Dali's masterpieces reworked through an updated lens as art history collides with modern culture. I intend to pick up where he left off, with more than fifty years of perspective to guide me along they way. It is a humble tribute to my greatest inspiration.

Children born with the 22q Deletion syndrome (also known as DiGeorge syndrome or velocardiofacial syndrome), may have a weaker immune system compared to other children. This means that they may have more difficulty "fighting off" infections. Fortunately, the majority of children with 22q Deletion Syndrome will not develop any serious immune problems.


On May 1, Public Art Fund will present Subliminal Standard, an interactive new commission by Brooklyn-based, Belgian-born artist Harold Ancart. The artist has constructed a large scale painted concrete sculpture inspired by New York City's ubiquitous handball courts, which have fascinated Ancart for years because of their unexpected relationship to the history of abstraction. The painting will reference the traditional boundary lines of the court and the inadvertent abstract compositions created when city courts are repaired and repainted to mask graffiti and weathering over time. Popularized by early 20th century immigrants to the United States, handball is among the most democratic sports, requiring nothing more than a small ball and a wall to play. The handball court is also the only type of playground that offers a freestanding double-sided wall which, according to the artist, "offers a unique possibility to show painting in a public space." Ancart's immersive sculpture will create a place for interaction, while bringing to light the ever-present painterly qualities that inherently exist in the structure of the handball court. Harold Ancart: Subliminal Standard will be on view May 1, 2019 – March 1, 2020 at the north end of Cadman Plaza Park in Downtown Brooklyn.
A leading voice of his generation, Ancart has pushed the limits of painting, with works that blur the line between sculpture, painting, and drawing. He's become known for his expressive gestural marks that live somewhere between abstraction and representation. Ancart developed a series of small wooden sculptures that illustrate the relationship between handball courts, playgrounds, and abstraction. These were made, in part, as preparation for Subliminal Standard. Created specifically for this location, the large painted sculpture at Cadman Plaza Park draws on the forms of these courts. The title of the work poetically references the unintended abstract compositions and patterns created through their use and wear in relation to the standard lines that mark the limits of the playgrounds.
Subliminal Standard is Ancart's first public art commission in the United States, as well as the first time that the artist will bring his studio practice to the public realm; in April, Ancart will paint directly onto the newly-constructed sixteen-foot-tall, 2,090-square-foot surface of the concrete court sculpture in Cadman Plaza Park enabling the public to see how a major public artwork is created. This site-responsive composition will invite all to engage with painting in a new way.
American handball courts have been a source of inspiration for the artist since 2007, when Ancart moved to New York and began wandering his Brooklyn neighborhood. The game became popular during the Great Depression as both a social activity and sport for the working and immigrant classes in New York City. Today, there are over 2,000 handball courts across all five boroughs, and the game remains as popular, accessible, and egalitarian as ever. Ancart sees public art and mural painting – which grew to prominence in Mexico and the United States around the same time – as handball's correlative in visual culture because of the way murals successfully transform vacant walls and bring beauty directly to the public. Both a commanding sculpture and interactive installation, Subliminal Standard will be open for the public to enjoy and engage with for free during its 10-month run.
The Leadership Committee for Subliminal Standard> is gratefully acknowledged, including Elizabeth and Jeff Rosa; C L E A R I N G, New York/Brussels; Jill & Peter Kraus; and anonymous. Generous support is also provided by Fern & Lenard Tessler, David Zwirner, Sebastian Hennecke, Rebecca and Marty Eisenberg, Gabe Schulman, and Rachel & Sam Shikiar.
Subliminal Standard> is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.
Special thanks to the Office of the Mayor, the Office of the Brooklyn Borough President, NYC Parks, and the Cadman Plaza Conservancy.

IRISH SAINTS OF NOVEMBER
November 3 – Malachy, Archbishop of Armagh (1095-1148)
Saint Malachy
Malachy was born and raised in Armagh, the son of a learned man. After his parents' death, he became the disciple of Eimar, a hermit, and was ordained at age 25. He studied under St. Malchus at Lismore and was appointed abbot of Bangor Abbey, which was in a sad state at the time. In fact, much of the Church in Ireland was in bad shape due to the ravages of the Vikings, and much of Malachy's effort throughout his life was dedicated to restoration. A few years after his appointment as abbot, he was chosen bishop of Connor, based at Bangor. His leadership of a local revival of the faith ended abruptly when he and his monks were forced to flee to Lismore to escape Viking raiders. Appointed metropolitan of Armagh in 1129, he was unable to occupy the see peacefully for many years, due to a rival claimant–the see had become hereditary in a family of clerics. Malachy eventually prevailed, in the process recovering from his rival a book (probably the Book of Armagh) and a crozier reputedly belonging to St. Patrick. Later, Malachy resigned the see and returned to Connor (1137). He divided the diocese into two, Connor and Down, became bishop of the latter, and refounded the ruined abbey at Bangor. On a trip through Europe to Rome, he met St. Bernard of Clairvaux, and the two became life-long friends. So impressed was Malachy by Bernard and the Cistercians, that he attempted to resign his see and join the order. The Pope refused his request and instead named him papal legate in Ireland. Malachy left four companions behind him at Clairvaux; in 1142, they returned to Ireland and founded the Cistercian abbey of Mellifont. In 1148, while journeying to Rome on official business, Malachy stopped at Clairvaux to visit his friend, and died there rather suddenly. Bernard proclaimed him a saint, and his action was confirmed by Pope Clement III, in 1190, making him the first Irish saint officially canonized by a pope.
Malachy was a truly great saint of Ireland. He helped instill in the Irish church the spirit of reform that was sweeping the church on the Continent, and was a man of great virtue himself. He is familiar to many today because of the so-called Prophecies of Malachy, which are almost certainly not written by him and are most likely forgeries of the 16th century.
November 9 – Benen, Bishop (d. 467)
Also known as Benignus, he was the son of a Meath chieftain who had been converted by St. Patrick. Benen was close to Patrick from childhood, serving him during life as disciple, friend, and right-hand man, and succeeding him as chief bishop of Ireland. He is credited with evangelizing Clare, Connaught, and Kerry. Many extravagant miracles are reported of him. There is also a fanciful story of Benen travelling to Glastonbury in Britain toward the end of his life, and finding St. Patrick there.
November 10 – Aedh Mac Bricc, BIshop (d. 589)
The accounts of this saint are filled with miraculous tales. A son of Brecc of the Hy Neill, he was not originally destined for the clerical state. Supposedly, Sts. Brendan and Canice once helped him find some pigs which had strayed. Aedh kidnapped a girl from the housegold of one of his brothers, in an ill-advised attempt to force his brothers to give him his rightful share of their patrimony. Bishop Illathan of Rathlihen, County Offaly, persuaded him to renounce his share and return the girl. Aedh then became a disciple of Illathan and eventually was sent to found a monastery in Cill-air, Westmeath, at length becoming its bishop. Stemming from his reputed curing of St. Brigid (or someone else) of a headache, he is often called upon for relief from this malady.
November 12 – Machar, Bishop (6th century)
Also known as Mochumma, he accompanied St. Columba to Scotland and evangelized the island of Mull, where he became bishop, and the Picts of Aberdeenshire.
November 12 – Cumian, Abbot (c. 590-c. 665)
The son of a king of West Munster, Cumian became a monk and ran the school at Clonfert. Founder and abbot of the Abbey of Kilcummin, he was noted for his learning and for his defense of Roman liturgical uses, which he undertook in the still-extant Paschal Epistle. He was surnamed Fota or Fada, "the Tall."
November 13 – Kilian	(7th century)
One of a number of Kilians, this Kilian was a relative of St. Fiacre and carried out misson work in Artois in Gaul.
November 14 – Lawrence O'Toole, Archbishop of Dublin (1128-80)
Son of Murtagh, chief of the Murrays, he was born in Kildare, and as a youth was carried off and held as a hostage for two years by King Dermot McMurrogh of Leinster. Lawrence's father finally compelled Dermot to surrender the boy to the bishop of Glendalough. He became a monk of Glendalough, and later was abbot (1153), known for his strict reign. His prudence and virtue were demonstrated when famine struck the area, and Lawrence was able to supply the local people with grain from monastic stores. Although earlier resistng efforts to elevate him to the episopate, Lawrence accepted election to the archbishopric of Dublin in 1161. The new archbishop embarked on a reform of his clergy, forming a community of strict canons regular at the cathedral. Lawrence became embroiled in the dynastic struggle which resulted in the intervention of England's Henry II and which is too complicated to outline here. In 1172, a synod convened by Lawrence at Cashel confirmed a bull of Pope Adrian IV imposing English liturgical forms upon Ireland, and Lawrence supported Pope Alexander III's confirmation of these measures. In 1175, while in England trying to arrange a peace between Henry II and Rory O'Conor, a probably-deranged man tried to murder him at Becket's shrine. He attended the Lateran Council of 1179 and after explaining the state of the Irish Church to the pope found himself appointed papal legate in Ireland. His efforts there began to worry Henry II, who may have suspected another Becket in the making, and when Lawrence travelled to England in 1180 in the course of negotiations on behalf of Rory O'Conor, Henry prevented him from returning to Ireland. Lawrence did eventually receive permission to return, but died in Normandy before he could.
November 15 – Fintan of Rheinau (d.879)
One of a number of Irish saints with this name, this Fintan was born in Leinster, was taken to the Orkneys by Viking raiders, escaped, stayed with a bishop in Scotland for two years, and then went on a pilgrimage to Rome. Returning through the Black Forest of Germany, he encountered some hermits there, at Rheinau, and elected to remain.
November 18 – Mawes, Abbot (6th century)
Also known as Maudez, he is believed to have been an Irish monk who lived as a hermit in Cornwall, and then settled on the island of Modez off the coast of France. He preached throughout Armorica (Brittany) and probably founded several churches and monasteries there and in Cornwall.
November 23 – Columban, Abbot (c.540-615)
Columban was born in West Leinster and well educated as a youth. In the advice of a holy hermitess to flee the local environs to avoid sin, Columban saw a call to the religious life. Despite his mother's opposition, he departed for an island in Lough Erne, where he was under the tutelage of a monk named Sinell. He later became a monk of Bangor. In 585, with the blessing of St. Comgall, he went as a missionary to Gaul with 12 other monks. He himself built several monasteries–Annegray, Luxeuil, and Fontaine–and his followers built others throughout France, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy. Columban's institutions followed his very strict monastic rule. He aroused opposition among the Frankish bishops due to his advocacy of Celtic usages and his refusal to acknowledge their authority. In 610, King Theodoric II of Burgundy, angered by Columban's denunciations of his marital irregularities, banished all Irish monks from his kingdom. After being shipwrecked attempting to return to Ireland, Columban was offered refuge by King Theodebert II of Neustria and embarked on a mission journey which ultimately led him to the Alemanni around Lake Constance. However, when the hostile Burgundians overran Neustria, Columban fled to Italy and was welcomed by King Agilulf of the Lombards, although the king was an Arian heretic. Columban strove against the Arian heresy. He also became embroiled in the controversy over the Three Chapters then roiling the Church, an issue on which he was ill-informed; his words during this controversy led him to later write apologetically to the pope. Columban founded the monastery at Bobbio on land given to him by Agilulf; it was to have a distinguished history. It is at Bobbio that the saint died. Besides sermons and poems, Columban wrote his monastic rule and treatises against Arianism.
November 24 – Colman of Cloyne, Bishop (530-606)
Colman was born in Munster and spent most of his life as a pagan poet and royal bard at Cashel before being baptized by St. Brendan around age 50. He was later ordained and supposedly was a teacher of St. Columba. Colman was the first bishop of Cloyne and its patron. He is one of a number of sainted Colmans.
November 27 – Secundinus (c.375-447), BIshop
Though not a native Irishman, Secundinus, also known as Sechnall or Seachnall, ought to qualify as an Irish saint on grounds similar to those of St. Patrick himself. A native of Gaul, he was sent to Ireland in 439 to assist Patrick. He was the first bishop of Dunslaughlin in Meath and then auxiliary bishop of Armagh. Secundinus wrote several hymns, one of which is thought to be the first Latin hymn written in Ireland.
November 27 – Fergus, Bishop (8th century)
An Irish bishop, possibly of Downpatrick, he was known as "the Pict." He served the missions among the Picts and Scots and founded several churches there.
–A federal judge, on September 30, struck down a 2017 St. Louis city ordinance which, on grounds of preventing discrimination, prohibited pro-life organizations from refusing to hire abortion proponents and which required non-religious employers to cover or pay for abortions through their health plans. The judge ruled that the ordinance violated state law and the federal constitution. Archbishop Carlson of St. Louis has spoken out strongly against the ordinance and praised the decision of the court.
–On October 1, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear a challenge to a pro-life amendment to the Tennessee state constitution. The amendment, passed after the state supreme court had struck down a number of abortion restrictions, excludes abortion rights from the state constitution.
–Democratic California Governor Jerry Brown has vetoed a bill that would have required public universities in the state to offer abortion-inducing contraceptives through campus student health centers. Governor Brown, a Catholic not normally friendly to the pro-life cause, said the bill was "not necessary," since abortion services are already widely available off campus.
–We are approaching a general election in November. As Catholics, we need to make our decisions in the light of Catholic teaching. Two good sources of information on the national level are www.priestsforlife.org and the website of National Right to Life, www.nrlc.org.
–Many faithful Catholics are finding it difficult to get full and reliable information about the emerging reports of misconduct by certain members of the hierarchy. Two websites which are covering the news well are ewtn.com and catholicnewsagency.com.

BSS: Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman attended the birthday celebration of his grandson Sajeeb Wazed Joy on July 27 in 1975, which was in fact the last family function of his life, reports BSS. During the programme, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and Bangamata Sheikh Fazilatunnesa Mujib were captured in a photograph with Joy, son of Sheikh Hasina, the incumbent prime minister and Awami League president.
Wearing his grandfather's cap, little boy Joy posed for the picture, but none knew that this would be Joy's last close interaction with Bangabandhu.
Recalling his memories as Bangabandhu's private secretary, former governor of Bangladesh Bank Dr Mohammed Farashuddin Ahmed said there was festivity in Bangabandhu's family throughout the month of July in 1975.
Bangabandhu joined the birthday function of Joy on July 27, although the function was very much simple, he added.

Home > Other services > Debt Relief Orders
What is a Debt Relief Order?
DROs came into force in April 2009. In contrast to other forms of debt relief, they are not available through the court system. Instead the orders are made by an Official Receiver. An application for a DRO can be made online through an Approved Intermediary who is an authorised, skilled debt adviser.
Once an order is made, creditors who are included in the DRO will then be prevented from taking any action to recover or enforce their debts against the debtor. Generally, those debts will be discharged at the end of one year.
You can find out more about DROs on the gov.uk website
What is a competent authority?
Competent authorities are bodies designated by the Secretary of State to approve intermediaries. Skilled debt advisers can apply to one of the competent authorities to become an approved intermediary. A competent authority has the power to approve or decline the applicant and to continue to assess their suitability as intermediaries. The IMA was designated as a competent authority in April 2009 and we currently have over 200 approved intermediaries.
If you wish to complain about an IMA approved DRO intermediary, email us at competent.authority@i-m-a.org.uk.
How do I become a DRO Approved Intermediary?
Only IMA Associate and Accredited members can apply to the IMA to become a DRO intermediary.
To become an intermediary, eligible members should complete the appropriate application form, part of which will need to be completed and signed by your line manager. Associate members (i.e. those without the Certificate in Money Advice Practice) will also need to submit an anonymised case file, which we will assess to ensure you are working at the appropriate level of competency.
If you are an IMA member and wish to apply to become a DRO intermediary, click here to find out full details and to download an application form.

Can the IMA help me to apply for a DRO?
Please note we are unable to give advice or refer you directly to a DRO intermediary.
You can visit gov.uk to find information on free debt advice agencies,
Once you have located free debt adviser, they will either be an approved intermediary themselves and will be able to complete a DRO application for you, or they will signpost you to other local agencies which can provide an approved intermediary to make an application for you.
Other than the £90 fee, you cannot be charged for being advised on or applying for a DRO.
How can I complain regarding the IMA's role as a competent authority?
Clients of approved intermediaries authorised by the IMA, and applicants for approved intermediary status, are able to complain to the IMA in some circumstances. For full details please see our DRO complaints policy.


The findings of a Dutch-led investigation, that MH17 was taken down from rebel-held territory by a BUK missile system from Russia, have been used as conclusive evidence that Russia was to blame for the appalling tragedy in which killed 298 people.
At first sight the report does seem fairly damning. It certainly would fit with a narrative that the ill-fated passenger plane was accidentally shot down by rebels, who then, realizing what they had done, wanted to get rid of the 'evidence' as soon as possible.
But nevertheless, I doubt if Ellery Queen, Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot or indeed any famous detective would be saying "case closed" at this juncture.
For starters, just how impartial and independent was the JIT investigation? Imagine a domestic homicide investigation in which one of the leading suspects was involved in putting together a report that pointed the finger of blame at someone else. That report wouldn't be taken too seriously would it? Yet the JIT team included prosecutors from Ukraine, whose national forces have been accused by Russia of being the guilty party.
Ukraine has, of course, a vested interest in incriminating Russia or 'pro-Russian rebels', and so it was no surprise to see the authorities there claim that the JIT report "points to the direct involvement of the aggressor state in the downing of the aircraft". The Ukrainians would say that, wouldn't they? - to paraphrase the late Mandy Rice-Davies.
Never had an opinion on #MH17, but what I never understood is how a country on the suspect list was part of the official investigation team.
It's not just the composition of the investigative team, however, that gives one cause for concern; it's the actual decisions the team took during their investigation. The Russian manufacturer of BUK missiles, Almaz-Antey, passed over 'top secret' information on missile characteristics to the investigators. But JIT instead preferred to study a "similar" missile from the US to model the impact. Why did they do this? Key evidence to back up claims made in the report is also missing.
Computer simulation - not video evidence - was used to display the flight of the missile, which was supposed to have downed the plane. Just imagine if someone was accused of burglary and the prosecutors relied on a computer simulation and not real CCTV footage as 'evidence' of how the alleged perpetrator committed the crime. Would you take that as conclusive proof of the person's guilt? No, me neither.
The report is more interesting for what it leaves out than what it actually contains.
I doubt if Ellery Queen, Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot or indeed any famous detective would be saying "case closed" at this juncture.
"Witnesses", who we're told saw what was going on, have not been named. The data from the US - which we're led to believe proves that the missile was "launched from a site about six kilometers south of the village of Snizhne [Snezhnoye]" - was not included. Other flaws in the investigation have been outlined here.
Perhaps the biggest elephant in the room is that Ukrainian radar data has yet to be released. Again, if Ukraine has nothing to hide, why has it not done this? Especially as legitimate questions have been asked on why passenger aircraft were still cleared to fly over a war zone where ten aircraft had been shot down in previous weeks.
In the end, the JIT investigation doesn't settle anything. It is perfectly possible that 'pro-Russian separatists' did accidentally bring flight MH17 down. But it's also possible that the plane was downed by Ukrainian forces, who also have BUK missiles. However, to even suggest such a scenario in the West, in the current hysterical anti-Russian climate, is enough to get one attacked as a 'Putin/Kremlin stooge'.
In a piece published yesterday in Rupert Murdoch's Times, entitled 'The West must stand up to Putin's lie machine', Iraq war cheerleader David Aaronovitch took a swipe at those who dare to question what he calls the "Bellingcat theory of events".
Yours truly was named in the article as a "British writer… who appeared on Russia Today in the wake of MH17 to decry the theory that Russia had anything to do with it". In fact, I said that while I thought there was "strong likelihood" that the Ukrainian authorities were responsible, we should "stay calm" and "stay very forensic" and wait "until the evidence is produced".
"The most important thing is somehow we get to the truth", I told RT viewers. "We may actually not get to the truth because of course if they find that the plane was shot down, everybody is going to deny it and it is going to be very hard to prove it".
And that's exactly what has happened. Neocons with a grudge against Russia and Putin attack 'Russian state media' for putting out 'disinformation' on MH17, yet cite sources with strong links to the Western defense establishment - like Bellingcat, as if they are truly impartial, independent sources with no political bias.
The Imperial Truth Enforcers are, it seems, determined to make sure there is no deviation from the NATO party line on MH17. Keeping an open mind and saying that we must "stay very forensic" won't do; we must publicly declare that it's been proved conclusively that Russia was responsible, either directly or indirectly, for the terrible tragedy. Or else face the full McCarthyite onslaught.
From those great humanitarians and crusaders for 'free speech' who assured us that the Iraq war was right.

Kentucky Derby: Sole Volante's a family affair for Patrick Biancone and daughter Andie

Kentucky Derby dreams: Andie Biancone with Sole Volante, whom she co-owns.

By Mike Kane/Thoroughbred News Service
USA: Surprises, for sure, Sole Volante and his co-owner, Andie Biancone, both have the genetic make-up to be competing in the important races on the road to the Kentucky Derby.
LATEST: Kentucky Derby: everything you need to know as Authentic turns back Tiz The Law
Versatile Sole Volante takes his deep, classy pedigree – albeit for distance and turf – into Saturday's G2 Tampa Bay Derby on the dirt at Tampa Bay Downs. He has already proven his ability on the surface at Tampa Bay, coming from off the pace to win the G3 Sam F. Davis on February 8.
Like Sole Volante, Andie Biancone was born into the sport. She works for her father, the accomplished international trainer Patrick Biancone, who gave her the gift of the then two-year-old colt he purchased for $20,000 on her 22nd birthday in April.
Andie Biancone, now a fourth-generation horsewoman, said the present from her father was completely unexpected. "I was shocked," she says.
"At first I was like, 'Whoa. That's so cool.' I was very excited about it. Just to own any horse is amazing – just to have that opportunity. We thought he was going to be a little for-fun horse. That was my impression.
'I can't believe I have a horse that could go to Kentucky'
"When he had his first start at Gulfstream Park West, I was at Keeneland and I was thinking, 'Oh, he's going to need a race, he's a little bit immature. And he just won so impressively. It was crazy. And to see my silks, which my dad and I designed together, was really special.
"I can't believe I have part of a horse that could potentially go to the Kentucky Derby. That's just crazy. Even to work with him every day is a blessing. It's awesome."
Sole Volante won his first two starts on turf before finishing third in his first try on dirt. Then came the Sam F. Davis.
Patrick Biancone chuckles as he talks about his present, which he felt would help his daughter understand the challenges and costs that are part of owning a racehorse.
"It was a good birthday gift," he grins. "She was turning 22. I said: 'OK, if I gave you $1,000 a year since you were born you would have $22,000 and you'd buy a horse.' We bought him for $20,000 and what I saved, $2,000, was great!"
The team of Sole Volante and Andie Biancone make up one of the more unlikely and interesting stories of this year's quest to reach America's most important horse race on the first Saturday in May.
With another big performance, Sole Volante could join his Biancone stablemate Ete Indien in the Derby on May 2. Ete Indien picked up 50 Derby qualifying points last weekend with a front-running victory in the G2 Fountain of Youth – which typically is enough to make the Derby field – and is expected to compete again in the Florida Derby on March 28.

From the first crop of 2014 Breeders' Cup Mile winner Karakontie, Sole Volante sold for a mere $6,000 as a yearling and Patrick Biancone acquired him as a two-year-old at a price far below what most Triple Crown prospects go for.
'Sometimes you pay and they turn out to be no good'
Although he has already picked up $196,310 in purse money, his on-track success has yielded even more profit to the Biancones. They sold a half-interest to Limelight Stables and after his first run on dirt, the partners sold a controlling interest, a total of 60 per cent, to Reeves Thoroughbred Racing.
When Sole Volante went through the ring as hip 270 at the Ocala Breeders' Sale, Patrick Biancone's thoughts were not heading towards the dirt. Indeed, he thought he saw similarities with his 1984 Arc winner Sagace.
"He's not the same color but the same conformation, a typical European kind of horse," says the trainer. "He had a great pedigree for me because I'm European, but that may not have attracted the other people. We got him for what we got him. Sometimes you pay a lot and they turn out to be no good, and sometimes it goes the other way."

Sole Volante, bred in Kentucky by the Niarchos family's Flaxman Holdings, is out of the Kingmambo mare Light Blow, who produced Explode, winner by disqualification of last year's G3 Canadian Derby on dirt.
'I didn't like him at first'
Andie Biancone laughs as she explains her take on the horse as she and her father inspected the OBS offerings. "I didn't like him at first," she says.
"He was a very nervous horse. He was kind of on the leaner side. He had very long pasterns. I didn't really like him and right from the get-go my dad just absolutely loved him."
It didn't take long for the Biancones to understand why Sole Volante was edgy and unhappy. "His testicles were twisted, which was causing him pain and why we gelded him," Andie Biancone explains. "We gave him a rubber bit and did a bunch of things with him. Just to see the change in him from the horse I saw all washed out in the ring at OBS to the confident, calm, cool, collected guy that he is today, that has been my favorite part more than anything."
Since Karakontie means Flying Sun in the indigenous Mohawk language, Patrick Biancone used Flying Sun in Italian to name Sole Volante. "I was going to do it French," he says, "but I was scared that the race caller couldn't pronounce it."
Andie is the youngest of Biancone's four children and the third to follow him into what has been the family business for some 80 years. His grandfather, Joseph, was a top Flat rider in France in the 1940s and his father, Pierre, was a jockey who turned to training.
Biancone was a successful rider in Europe before switching to training in the 1970s. In the 1990s he relocated his stable to Hong Kong, moving on to a US base in September 2000.
He finished second in the 2004 Kentucky Derby with Lion Heart. Biancone's oldest daughter, Marie, trained in her own name in the US for a few years a decade ago but has left the sport and is raising a family in England. Julie works for her father and Andie – whose mother, Elaine Biancone, is a former Miss Hong Kong – realised long ago that she would spend her life around horses.
"Since I was a little kid I've always known that I wanted to be a trainer," she says. "I have flip-flopped a couple of times in my head between horse trainer or vet, but organic chemistry kicked my butt and I was like, 'Nope, it's horse training.'"
Beginning when she was a young teenager, Andie worked for her father on weekends and during school vacations. She started college in California, completed a two-year associate's degree at Palm Beach State College and moved on to the University of Florida. With about two semesters left to graduate with a degree in equine studies, her studies are on hold at present.
'I worked my butt off to get into the University of Florida'
"I would like to finish – my education has always been very important to me," she says. "I worked my butt off to get into the University of Florida. I was galloping for my dad in the morning.
"I'd do like four horses and then I would drive directly to school and I would be in class until 2 or 3 o'clock. I worked really hard to get into that school, so I would like to finish. It's a great institution. But you can't let school get in the way of your education sometimes."
Since the end of the 2019 spring semester she has been on her father's staff at the Palm Meadows training centre. During her personal apprenticeship her role has changed from rider to assistant.
"You have to learn first to be up and then you have to learn being on the ground looking at them," Patrick Biancone says.
"We are in the process of doing that. She is in the learning process. She has been working full-time for me since May. She worked before during the summers when she was in school. She's been 100 per cent since May and I have the feeling that she will be ready in a couple of years."
Sole Volante's development into a graded-stakes winner and a Derby prospect has been a bonus for the first-time owner and aspiring trainer. "Getting to share that with my dad and the connections is just so awesome," she says.
"I was at Gulfstream when he won the Sam Davis and I literally started bawling, crying when he came down the stretch. Luca rode him so confidently and he just repeated what he does in the morning just perfectly in that race.
"I called my dad as soon as the race was over and literally no words had to be exchanged. We were both just sobbing. That's a moment I will never forget."
The dynamics of their father-daughter, boss-employee relationship is, as you might expect, interesting. She said they are both opinionated but maintains he is more so than she. He jokes that she calls him a tyrant at work and Dad at home. "I don't say we never argue," he says. "We do argue because she's 22 and I'm 67!
"This is just the repetition of life," he goes on. "When I was her age, I was working with my father and my grandfather. They taught me and when I was ready they put me in the market.
"The only thing that my father told me when I started to train, he said, 'You can do it, but the one condition is that you have to be better than me.' I put the same condition on my daughter. I said, 'If you want to be a trainer you have to be better than me.'"

Plastic cards have the ability to be printed and then cut into virtually any size and shape that a consumer desires, but there are certain sizes that are considered to be standard. There are international standards for plastic card sizes which are described by the following formats - ID-1, ID-2, and ID-3.
This is the most commonly used size for plastic cards as it is the standard for banking cards, credit cards, loyalty cards, gift cards, and is even used as the size for driver's licenses in many countries. This size is also referred to as simply credit card size.
This is a slightly larger plastic card which provides the additional space for a clearly recognizable facial photograph but is still small enough to fit in a wallet. This size is mainly used for ID cards such as the German Personalauweis.
This is the format used worldwide for passports and visas.
Other popular sizes are most commonly used for plastic business cards. In the United States, the size for plastic business cards is 3.5 x 2 in (89 x 51 mm), and in Japan the size 3.582 x 2.165 in (91 x 55 mm) is used for plastic business cards.

Moments Of Hyperreal Intimacy: Jockstrap Interviewed
John Doran , November 5th, 2018 07:42
London duo intrigue, transport and transform with smart, glitchy, 'easy' listening orchestral pop. John Doran talks to Georgia Ellery and Taylor Skye
Let's start with what we can hear.
A shower is running noisily. In the background, in another room perhaps, a lofi recording of piano plays. There is a person in the shower and she is humming along to the piano. A singing glossolaliac attending to her happy ablutions. La-di-dee, la-di-dah. But then there is a non-diegetic swell of strings (or diegetic, I guess, if this person has a string section in her bathroom) which sits harmoniously under her singing. This reverie is ruptured by a caustic burst of noise as bows scraped atonally across strings are processed harshly.
(After a hectic edit) this is herald to a fully foregrounded string section efflorescing in glorious clarity. The luxuriant orchestral intro calls to mind Bernard Herrmann - and if that sounds like high praise, I mean it as such. Hold on though… Bernard Herrmann… a woman having a shower… strings… Mother? MOTHER?! What blood… Oh God, Mother what have you done!?
Relax, I don't mean Psycho, and while we're at it I don't mean 'Scene D'Amour' from Vertigo either you prurient bastards. So not horror, not sex exactly or entirely but… what then? Try intrigue, transport and transformation for starters. 'Nocturne' from Marnie maybe. The power of pop music summed up elegantly in just a few seconds. One moment it's the start of just another day, you're in the shower humming along to a lossy MP3 played through the shitty speaker of your shitty phone, the next minute you're… God knows where but some place infinitely better.
'Wet', the very opening track of new EP Love Is The Key To The City out now on Kaya Kaya records was recorded by Jockstrap, a new London-based pop duo who excel in distilling moments of hyperreal intimacy. They blindside the listener by combining elements that are both studiously arch and disarmingly frank; doling out classic pre-rock & roll orchestral pop, lounge and exotica combined with the experimentally and glitchily electronic; music that is mainly melodiously sweet and sophisticated yet tempered by bursts of naivety and caustically fucked up-ness.
Georgia Ellery and Taylor Skye are two 20-year-old students who met at London's Guildhall School Of Music And Drama ("It's a music school; it's a conservatoire") and are now in the third year of a four year course, studying jazz and electronic composition respectively. This information might - if like me you're quite old - make them sound like tyros but why should it, as they've both been making music for as long as I've been writing about it. Nor do they seem particularly young generally speaking.
Skye is tolerant of my layman's attempts to talk to him about combining electronic music with strings, so he makes me feel like the neophyte if anything (his insistence on using the word "jokes" as an informal adjective instead of either a noun or verb notwithstanding, so help me fucking God) and I've seen Ellery in no less than three great bands already: Nervous Conditions, playing auxiliary violin for Goat Girl and in the astounding Black Country New Road - I'm yet to see Jockstrap or the Happy Beigel Klezmer Orkester) but then it's all relative isn't it? They both declare their love for the "genuinely young" Lemon Twigs - the baroque & roll 4AD two piece who were both born this millennium: "We love that band so much right now. We'd love for Jockstrap to support them live."
Jockstrap. Jockstrap. Ugh, bloody Jockstrap. I really want to talk to them about their intrigue, their transport, their transformation but first we have to deal with their almost transcendentally awful band name. Why do they insist on torturing me with this awful nomenclature?
Ellery laughs: "I chose it and that's the effect I was going for. I like that kind of gross, shock factor in music and lots of people I admire use that. So I think the name Jockstrap has that effect but it could have been much worse. Jockstrap is quite tame. Also, I tell younger people and they're like, 'Cool.' But I told my grandmother and she didn't reply to the text and she hasn't mentioned it since. As long as people remember it though I don't care."
"Younger people." Ooof - take that, old people, like me and her grandmother.
But how did these young people meet? Georgia wrote her first Jockstrap song in August 2017 and the pair started working together the following month. Skye says: " We had been talking about music for a long time before this project, then Georgia said she'd written some songs and asked if I would produce them." Their first gig was in March of this year, featuring Skye on synths, Ellery on violin and vocals, backed up by Michael Dunlop on bass, Melchior Giedroyc on SPD drum pads and "general hype man" Lewis Evans on flute, auxiliary percussion and pocket synthesizer. (The large string section on the EP was recorded by fellow students at the Guildhall; free to those who can afford it, very expensive to those who can't.)
On their debut EP Jockstrap have made music that casts you, the listener, in the role of the eavesdropper or voyeur. The narrative of their songs are neither topped nor tailed. They drop you in the middle of the action without exposition, treating you like an adult: a luxurious and subtle treat. Ellery's lyrics are hard to discern, adding to the effect. And though there is something adult about what they do, in the sense that she is singing about modern relationships, it's about sex but not sexualised if you'll take the distinction. Exotica that stops short of erotica. Not workmanlike by any stretch but Safe For Work nonetheless. (Which might not be true of all the videos embeded in this feature by the way.)
"There is a bit of a theme. The first EP is all about girls", says Ellery.
"'Charlotte' is about my friend, who became more than my friend. It was a really big experience for me. I've tended to write about big [autobiographical] experiences - I can't write fictionally. I wrote it, I sent it to her and she liked it. I was really struggling with whether to call it 'Charlotte'… it's a bit romantic, a bit over the top. Like if people heard it they would be, 'It's so scandalous!' But Taylor persuaded me…
"Everyone in my social circle knows what it's about. My grandmother knows what it's about. It's so good having it out there. It feels bold and it also feels like now I can be bolder and I can write about anything. Writing songs about personal experiences is very therapeutic. It makes you acknowledge the experience, and then preserve the feeling in a little piece of art. Like Joni [Mitchell] said, songs are like tattoos, they add to your personality. At first I was nervous about people hearing it. But then, when no one questioned it and everyone enjoyed it, I felt it had been accepted. [The story] is part of my makeup now. I'm proud of it. It's very empowering."
And how about 'I Want Another Affair'?
She laughs: "Similar…"
Skye mock admonishes her: "Georgia!"
Not all of the songs are about people Ellery knows however. 'Hayley', for example.
She says: "You know those Louis Theroux documentaries? One of the series they did in LA was was about prostitutes and Hayley was someone who just made such an impression on me. She was so outspoken but so charming. Her laugh... The way she was flirting [with Theroux]. I thought she was very glamorous and funny but she'd also had such an awful time. There was quite a narrative through the programme about how she really got on with Louis Theroux. They really took a shine to each other, it was obvious but then she started drinking again. I thought it would be a good story to write about."
In a wider context, the music of Jockstrap sits on a broad continuum that includes lounge, easy-listening and exotica with a healthy dollop of wonk to it, so we're talking everything from late period Stereolab to Insecure Men; L.Pierre to Sukia; Stock, Hausen & Walkman to Nurse With Wound (Huffin' Rag Blues, Cooloorta Moon, Alice The Goon etc.), although they tend to draw direct inspiration themselves from friends and peers such as filmmaker/ producer Enid Gunn and pop musician Arthur from the PLZ Make It Ruins label.
But it really feels like, bar these contemporaries, Ellery's grandmother is the name that comes up the most often in the Jockstrap interview. Has there been any more feedback from the great lady since the EP was recorded?
Ellery concludes: "Not recently! She's waiting for the release. She was very proud to hear we'd recorded the strings successfully."

We're back from Brooklyn and missing it more than I thought we would. What a fun month! I absolutely love being in the city.
Even though we were working normal days/hours from home, we still packed so much in. We walked to a new coffee shop every morning, and did fun stuff every night after work. We completed almost the entire list, which is awesome! We ate tons of great food and hung out with amazing people, and really enjoyed every last minute.
Stay tuned for more details on our time!

I generally don't because I am always in a hurry unless I am using RED fabrics in my quilts. For my red fabrics, I do prewash multiple times. I have been burned too many times by not pre-washing my reds!
So — curious mind wants to know what your response is to Ivory Spring's This or That question!
Happy Monday and Week, Friends! I hope you are well. I all of a sudden succumbed to a nasty cold over the weekend. I am recovering, but not totally up to snuff just yet. It's a terrible feeling being sick and having to still try to work. I shall catch up with you later!
I *ALWAYS* prewash my fabrics before I use them. I saw one VERY SAD quilt, at a quilt show… the fabric had shrunk a variety of directions… the poor thing apparently had been washed ONLY after it was put together. It sagged and bagged, with each fabric shrinking and stretching… It looked like it would have been a pretty quilt, BEFORE it was washed… very sad looking afterwards. Seeing that quilt taught me.
My Mom was an avid quilter and all her quilting was hand stitched. She never pre-washed, and you can imagine how she felt, when the backing of a quilt that had hundreds of hours of stitching, applique, embroidery and hand quilting came out of it's first washing all splotchy and discolored! I ALWAYS pre-wash!
I prewash because the fabric sizing aggravates my asthma. I don't wash kits or pre-cuts but can only work on those when the weather allows open windows.
I don't just prewash, I presoak using the same process that I use on my hand dyed fabrics. Throuymy testing I learned that prewashing isn't enough….even on commercial fabrics.
I always, always, always prewash. I don't want to be handling, much less inhaling when I press, fabric that has been treated with who knows what insecticides, chemicals, et cetera plus I want any bleeding to happen before it's in a quilt on which I've spent hours and hours of work!
I hope you are back to feeling totally healthy in no time!
Good to know about red, Wendy.
I hope you get better fast. Oh my, those elementary school years, you have to build up those immunities. It is rough!
I don't pure wash anything. If I am quilting with red, I wash it with a color catcher after I am finished quilting. Never had a problem with quality fabric. I don't buy Fabric from big lot stores, way to many issues with them.
I always, always prewash my fabric, and have still gotten burned a couple of times, once with a red, and once with a navy blue batik. Sometimes, I buy scraps, and I even prewash those (in a lingerie bag.). Color Catcher sheets are my best friend–you can tell immediately if something has bled, but it hasn't ruined anything else in the load. If I'm suspicious of a fabric, I put it in a bowl of hot water to see what it does before I actually wash it.
I prewash because I just could not stand to spend hours, days and months on a quilt where something runs. I have never had anything run – and this weekend, on a polka dot fabric, the dark blue dots spread. So it didn't stain anything else, even though I had 2 yards of white Kona in with it, but the fabric itself is ruined. I'm taking it back. And it was going to be my sashing! I will still be prewashing everything.
I never wash because then I would never have time to sew. I always use a color catcher when I wash the quilt when it is all quilted and bound. If there is a lot of color on it, wash it again.
I always prewash. Some fabrics have been so far out of kilter that I barely had enough to finish my project. I do not want that twisting to mar my quilts after someone washes them. It is worth the effort to me.
I wash before cutting because I have a big shedding retriever mix dog and two cats.
Hope you feel better soon! I hate trying to work with a cold. Praying for you!
Nope … Never… Color catchers are to awesome… I would rather be sewing or quilting….and I have NEVER has fabrics bleed together !!
Right there with you , Dawn!
I always prewash because the chemicals in new fabric are just plain not good for you. My daughter is an industrial designer and warned me to prewash. She said the chemicals aren't great for you especially when combined with heat(as in a hot iron). Hope you are feeling better soon!
The only colors I prewash are the reds, dark blues, dark purples and blacks. The rest of them I toss in Color Catchers when I wash the quilt.
Feel better soon, Wendy. Those colds are always nasty. I hope it doesn't spread through the family.
Feel better soon! I don't usually wash fabrics, unless it's red. And then I use a Shout Color Catcher or 3 on the wash. I've occasionally had blues and blacks, bleed, too, so I'm more careful about the brands I purchase. If something bleeds on a quilt after it's washed, I just put Shout on the spot and wash again, with new color catchers. That usually helps. I know there are other solutions that also get out the over-run dyes.
I do no't usually prewash. The last batik fabric I bought I decided to prewash both the red and the blue. Boy am I glad I did. The red was not the problem. I didn't think I would ever get the blue to stop bleeding out.
I don't sew, but if I did, I would definitely ore wash red fabric. It can be tricky in terms of fading.
Wendy, I just prayed for your healing to manifest. My godchildren, mothers, and grandfather just got back from DC, and a few of them are battling sad cold. I pray you are feeling better and functioning well SOON.
I don't know where the word "ore" came from??? Weird. ;-). It should also read "said" cold, though it is sad, too. Colds always are. No fun to be battling illness.
I always wash quilting fabric before using. Manufacturers may not be consistent, and some may shrink or not be completely colorfast. Better safe than sorry.
I dont pre wash new fabric because here in the UK fabric is very expensive £12 a metre. Good quality fabric should not shrink and it should not bleed. When i put a quilt in the wash, i also use clour catcher sheets from Dylon. Never had a run new fabric from doing this. Ther has been just one exception , a quilt I named the stolen blouse ! Yes you read that right. Let me explain, it was my 2 nd quilt, I had no stash, there was no quilt shop near me, did not no there was such a thing as a quilt shop. I used fabric from old clothes thrift shop and a new white sheet. I had no idea how to make a quilt I just wanted one. I am a sewer so pieced it together my way. I wanted a plaid red applique border of swags and bows. No plaid to be had. My mum came to stay and was wearing the fabric. Her blouse was perfect, she had it for years and years. It was her favorite. I knew she would not give it too me in that case to cut up !!! Horror. So when she went home her blouse did not. She rung me " is my red blouse still in the wardrobe, I cannot find it. " i truthfully said " no it isnt in the wardrobe " ( it was already cut up into swags and bows ) it was time to come clean and face the music. The words just would not come out my mouth, i had never stollen a thing in my life then or since. I prayed she would just forget about her old blouse. She did not forget and eventually worn down by guilt I had to fess up. She was more then angry. I offered to buy her new one, at any expence, she refused, how could I have cut it up , i asked if she would have given it too me, she said no not to cut up. When she saw the quilt all was forgiven. Now some time later years infact and mum had passed, I was asked by my quilt group where I was giving a lecture, to bring my early quilts. I dragged this quilt out the cupboard and it had been washed a few times but was musty, so I threw it in the tub to wash. The red ran all over the quilt and turned all the pristine white PINK , it looked dreadful. i guess mum had the last laugh. I still took it too class to show them my mistake. I was understandbly very upset after all I had gone through with that quilt to have it ruined. I washed it 3 times it got worse. A lady told me to wash it with dylon colour restorer. I did and it removed every single run and the white was again pristine.
The only fabric I pre-wash is red. That definitely tends to bleed alot!!
By the way I have followed your site for ages and love it, but lacked the courage to join in.
First thing I do when I come back home with fabric, I sew a zig zag on the border of the fabric and I wash it. For dark colors I add a sheet of color guard. I put it in the dryer too, after, I fold it. When I have time I iron it, fold it, put it in my stash and then it is ready to audition for my next project. I realize i don't calculate all the efforts I put in this part of the preparation of a quilt. Thanks for asking.
I always prewash when I bring the fabric home. If I don't have time I put a note on it that it has not been washed. My quilts are complex and time consuming. No way do I want a fabric to mess up my work. If it is going to be a problem I want to know up front before I cut and sew.
I cut the tip off the cut edges of the fabric piece so i know its been washed. It's supposed to help keep the fabric from unraveling but it doesn't seem to help much.
I always prewash. Most of my quilts are gifts and I want to know what that fabric is going to do before it leaves my house. My friend who does not prewash, gave me a darling PP Santa wall hanging. I stored it after the holiday (it was in the house and did not get wet.) The red bled. I also made a quilt for my son. White/off whites and blues. I had prewashed the very dark blue batik border with color catchers that came out as dark as the fabric. I didn't wash it again and when I washed the quilt, certain whites picked up blue dye. He thought it was supposed to be that way, but I was upset! Now, even if I have washed it….if the color catchers are dark, I wash again till they are white (or light). I also gift a box with a new quilt.
Sorry about your cold…hope you get better real quick. If I sewed I probably would not prewash !
I only buy top quality fabric and therefore never pre-wash. If there is a lot of red and the quilt will be a gift I will also buy a box of "dye catcher" to enclose with the quilt. I like the feel of the new fabric and how it "behaves" during construction.
I do not pre-wash as I like the way the fresh fabric looks in quilts. I do use the "dye catcher" whenever I wash a quilt and have had the best of luck with them.
I was taught to prewash everything due to possible bleeding and shrinkage in other venues of sewing. I had always thought the same would apply to quilting, but it seemed like it would be awful tedious to wash all those different fabrics. I had not heard of some of these products – good to know!
I'm sorry to hear you're sick! Hope you feel better soon!
Prewash it all, shortly after getting home!
Like you, Wendy, I only pre wash red. Got burned once and that was enough. I think the fabric manufacturers have figured out the fading and shrinking thing so we don't get that much of it anymore.
Hope you are feeling better soon! If I were your neighbor I would bring you chicken soup!!!
I always pre-wash now but wish I didn't have to. Do you mix your washed reds in with other fabrics in a quilt that have not been washed? I've been tempted a few times, especially when I want to use small scraps that have not been washed, but I'm afraid of what will happen!
When I bought fabric, I carried it directly from the car to the basement laundry room to wait for the next load of washing. Big time saver and worried less about dyes and shrinking.
I always pre-wash and, since rather like it, I iron all new fabric. If the pieces are fat quarters, and I am going to use them on a working project, I also starch.
I asked my quilt group the question last night and one of the best answers I got was this, and she quilts for a living . When you buy new fabric cut off a two and a half inch square and put it in a jam jar with hand hot water. Shake well and leave overnight. If water changes colour then fabric bleeds. Question answered you need to wash it. If so snip all four corners to stop fraying, throw in a good handful of salt to set the colour. Then test the squate again. She measures the square after it comes out the jam jam to see how much shrinkage too.
For me it was duh ! Moment, why dont I think of these things .
Personally i like the starch effect when I am piecing , but I am lucky to not have allergies. That must be a nightmare to a fabriholic.
5) you spend more on fabric then you dare admit to yourself or your dearly beloved.
6) last of my excuses is i will iron my stash fabric lovingly for hours and hate ironing clothes which is a chore but I have too do.
So my name is ?
Sorry about spelling mistakes, squate where did that come from ? Was Square.
This might make you smile, going away in caravan for a couple of days, sewing coming with me, where to put the fabric I need or might need and cupboards full of essentials not quilt related. Answer one cushion is without its pad. My fabric replaced it. Dh will never guess he may lean on it with pleasure. He never complains except over lost pins which he always finds don't go there loll.
Funny I have never sat on a pin or got one in my foot so why does he ?? Without fail it attacks him.
To Iris Stock – whenever my hubby found a pin with his foot my response was " Oh, Thank you, I've been looking for that"……took the wind right out of his sail!!!
I never prewash – I use whatever colour or print is right for the project and that means breaking into charm packs and layercakes. what happens if yardage is prewashed and precuts aren't? So I just don't bother, chuck in a lot of colour catchers and cross my fingers!
No, I do not pre-wash fabric. I like the feel and structure of fabric that has not been washed. If I wash, then I want to iron the fabric and I'm too eager to start the project to do that. I've never had an issue with reds but good to know a pre step just in case!
I always prewash my fabric ~2 cats and a golden retriever mix who sheds. a. lot.
I also prewash, to get rid of excess dye and the chemicals. I was doing a block of the month with red & white fabric, did not prewash. One of reds ran when I sprayed water to get rid of the blue fabric marker I used to mark the quilting. I will try the color catcher to see if this helps.
I also had red thread bleed through, I quilted with the red thread and once again sprayed to get rid of the blue marker and the thread bled. I did a complete wash and the red came out. Note to self stick with the disappearing purple pen.
Also had a yellow batik fabric bleed onto another fabirc in the washer when they were left there wet.
I always pre-wash flannel and don't prewash cotton very often. I do steam press it thought and check for color bleed. I dampen a q-tip and rub it on the fabric to check if the color transfers. If the color transfers to the q-tip I would prewash or not use it.
I prewash, I have a quilt that i made at a retreat, the fabric had to be used unwashed. When I washed it, some (many) of the seams frayed due to the fabric shrinking and being quilted. So , will always prewash.
I usually do not prewash at all. Unless it is a red and white or if a quilt has solid black I will prewash the read and black a few times.
I hardly every prewash the fabric. If I do prewash the fabric would be used for table runners or table toppers that would be laundered. If it is wall hangings then No.
Yes, I do always prewash all materials. I seldom actually get to buy brand new from a fabric store; I usually buy fabrics second hand, but have been very lucky and have purchased brand new with the tags still on. Plus, I have won several fabric quarters and other fabrics which is also spectacular. I also am totally hooked and in love with Color Catchers. So they are now used with every fabric wash also.
Sorry that you are not feeling well! Definitely take care of yourself, my stuffy sinuses turned almost instantly into an infection and I within a few days just felt awful. The doctor put me on a pretty high dosage of Penicillin, an allergy medication and a nose inhaler. Another bloggers young son had to spend several days in the hospital when his cold turned into a terrible infection just overnight. I just thought you might want to be on the lookout and be aware of some of the things that are happening with the colds already this year. I truly hope you feel better quickly. Oh and please stop by and see my completed Scrap Dance Mystery Quilt Top. I got it all assembled and am working on the borders now. I just love it! Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful creative day!

#RIP- Shamshad Begum: A song in her heart
Written by: Gitanjali Roy | Updated: April 24, 2013 1
New Delhi: Shamshad Begum, a pioneer of Bollywood's music fraternity and the voice behind some of it's most memorable hits, died in Mumbai after a long illness. She had celebrated her 94th birthday just days before.Shamshad Begum was born on April 14, 1919 in Amritsar. A movie buff, she was a K L Saigal fan and reportedly watched Devdas 14 times. She promised her father that she would never appear before the camera, and so forged a long and successful camera in the recording studio. In fact, so faithfully did she keep her promise to her father that the public at large did not know what she looked like till well into the 1970s.
Shamshad Begum made her singing debut on Peshawar Radio in 1947. She then sang for All India Radio as part of Delhi's Crown Imperial Theatrical Company of Performing Arts. Her songs were frequently broadcast on AIR Lahore, bringing her voice to the notice of music directors.
Her very first mentors were sarangi maestro Ustad Hussain Bakshwale Saheb and composer Ghulam Haider. Shamshad Begum's earliest film songs were in Ghulam Haider's Khazanchi(1941) and Khandaan (1942). Ghulam Haider soon moved from Lahore to Mumbai, taking Shamshad Begum with him as part of his team.
Shamshad Begum's unique voice and style of singing set her apart from contemporaries such as Geeta Bai, Amirbai Karnataki, Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle. She sang some of Hindi cinema's best-loved numbers between the 1940s and 1950s. Her hit parade, many of which have been remixed, include: Leke pehla pehla pyar and Kahin pe nigahen kahin pe nishana from C.I.D, Kabhi aar kabhi paar from Aar Paar, Mere piya gaye Rangoon fromPatanga, Saiyyan dil mein aana re from Bahar and Kajra mohabbatwala from Kismat, in which she sang not for the heroine, played by Babita, but for the hero, played by Biswajeet, in drag.
In 2009, Shamshad Begum received the Padma Bhushan, India's third-highest civilian honour. The same year, she also received the O P Nayyar award for her contribution to the world of film music.
Shamshad Begum was married to Ganpat Lal Batto who died in 1955. She is survived by her daughter Usha and son-in-law.

A very pretty Northern Pintail hen.
This entry was posted on 2015/01/20 by Robin. It was filed under Birds, Ducks and was tagged with B.C., hen, Ladner, Northern Pintail.
My favourite, I love the Northern Pintail.
Bob, thanks! They are high in my list too!
Love the Pintails. The feather detail here is amazing.
Beautiful lady. Northern pintails are now listed as a "Common Bird in Steep Decline".
Elizabeth, Thank you! I didn't know that! I had the pleasure recently to see a "raft" of Pintails in Mud Bay, Delta, B.C. There were literally thousands of birds! I was quite thrilled.
I don't see many pintails in my area, although they are around.
Andy, there's still quite of lot of them on the coast! I love to see them!

В  за «красно-белых» он впервые сыграл 12 сентября в первом туре против роттердамского . Матч проходил на «Де Мере» и завершился поражением «Аякса» — 1:3; единственный мяч за амстердамцев забил Ринус Михелс. В дебютном сезоне принял участие в восьми матчах чемпионата и отметился тремя голами. «Аякс» завершил сезон на четвёртом месте в своей группе.

В следующем сезоне стал игроком основного состава, сыграв во всех 28 играх чемпионата. Амстердамцы выиграли свою группу и вышли в финальную часть чемпионата, но по итогам плей-офф заняли четвёртое место из шести.

В общей сложности за три года принял участие в 52 матчах чемпионата Нидерландов, забив в них 4 гола. В последний раз в составе «красно-белых» он выходил на поле 26 марта 1951 года в матче с ДВС. Летом того же года перебрался в клуб «Вилхелмина Ворёйт».

Сборная Нидерландов
В составе сборной Нидерландов дебютировал 16 апреля 1950 года в матче против сборной Бельгии, в той игре также приняли участие и другие игроки «Аякса», защитник Ян Потхарст и полузащитник Йоп Стоффелен, капитан сборной. Матч завершился поражением нидерландцев со счётом 2:0, у бельгийцев голами отметились Эф Мерманс и Альберт де Херт. Всего в сборной ван дер Хувен провёл три матча.

Личная жизнь
Кор родился в мае 1921 года в Амстердаме. Отец — Якоб ван дер Хувен, мать — Клара Хендрика Сеймонсберген, родилась в Зандворте.
