Autumn Zebra

Today's junk mail started: Finally you will never have a problem with your size any more. I immediately thought of short people and dwarves. I'm not convinced that's what they meant, however.

I like this error, given by Expression Blend (used to make and markup a user interface): The character "}" is unexpected at this position. It's nice and polite. It doesn't sound terribly upset about it, and it's not trying to make any trouble. It's merely letting you know that it is a little surprised about your choice of placement for this particular item. Perhaps you would like to reconsider? There is a certain hidden firmness in the question however. It is not so much a request as a delicate order. It will not compile with such unexpected positioning.

Is it part 1? Or part 2? Or 3? I can't remember if I wrote about it before. In any case, I was going to take pictures of the draping of the jacket. But, I only ended up taking two pictures, one of the back and one of the front. Draping is where you get a piece of material, and lay it over the dress dummy or whatever, and then make the pattern by drawing lines on it and cutting it where you need to to get the shape you want. Here are my pictures. I did the back first, first the centre back piece, then the one to the side of it, then the one to the side of that. With each piece, I pinned the material on and drew lines where I wanted it to stop, or where it connected to another piece, or where it would need to be cut in order to make it lie flat. The front piece came after, but I did actually then change it completely later. The black lines are the seam allowance lines, waist line, darts, and where to cut for the lower edge, the cut out front, etc. The problem is that although it may

Just because you are driving a four wheel drive doesn't mean driving one wheel up onto the pavement should be part of your parking strategy. Learning to park properly should be part of your parking strategy. Thank you.

Yes, another test, see here . My results were: Your Brain Usage Profile: Auditory : 56% Visual : 43% Left : 64% Right : 35% I might try it again a few times sometime, apparently the questions can be different, and get an average result. I have just recently had it suggested that I might be good at learning in an auditory manner, which I never considered before. Many people have a much lower auditory usage than I in this test, so it is something I should look into more. Remember to click on the link to view the summary.

I saw a sign today that went a bit like this (with actual pictures, instead of words saying there are pictures): Which do you pet, and which do you eat? [picture of cat] [picture of pig] WHY? GO VEGETARIAN and keep the spirit of Christmas alive. Does anyone get this? Not withstanding the problems with people who really like pigs, and those who are happy to eat a cat, I don't get what it's got to do with the spirit of Christmas. (Although, Jesus was Jewish, and they don't eat pork, and probably don't eat cats either, but I don't think that's what they meant.)
