Hello, Fall for Cotton sew-alongers! How is everyone's project coming along?
I just got going on mine. Unfortunately my thoughts of doing a smart outfit consisting of trousers and blouse flew out the window when I started facing the reality of the amount of work I need to put in for a special project I'm working on right now. I've had to scale back my goal, so now I'm only going to sew the blouse. It was a difficult decision that disappoints me a bit, but I know I'll get to those corduroy trousers later this fall. (Plus the special project is pretty awesome too. 😉 ) But speaking of corduroy, have you checked out Rochelle's most recent Fall for Cotton post on winterizing your wardrobe with corduroy? It's the perfect fabric for fall!
Anyway, today I wanted to talk about setting in sleeves! In vintage sewing patterns, it can be a bit of a pain in the patoot. So I thought we could chat about it for awhile. And if you have some tips to share, you know I want to hear 'em!
Vintage sewing patterns often have a lot of built-in ease in the sleeve cap. This can feel really frustrating when you go to set in a sleeve if you're expecting it to ease in like you might see pictured on a nice, smooth sleeve on a pattern envelope, but what you end up with is a gathered or puckered cap that you weren't expecting! For the example, the pattern artwork for my 1942 blouse pattern shows smoothly set-in sleeves.
Normally, about 2″ of ease in a sleeve cap in woven fabric is good for a well-fitting, smooth set-in sleeve. That means the perimeter of the sleeve cap is 2″ bigger than the perimeter of the armhole (or armscye). This is something you can easily measure yourself to check.
A few years ago, Casey did an excellent post on demystifying sleeve ease. I won't reinvent the wheel here—go read Casey's post. Seriously. Since she posted that, I always measure both the sleeve cap and armhole in every vintage pattern I sew, so I know exactly what amount of ease I'm dealing with.
Basically, you measure along the perimeter (overlapping any yoke seams like my pattern had), and compare the results. Easy, right?
For my pattern, I discovered there was a 3″ difference between my sleeve cap and the armhole, meaning about 1″ more than I could expect to ease in and get a smooth sleeve. So my pattern artwork lied!
Now fortunately for me, I actually wanted gathered sleeves, so this worked out in my favor. If you didn't want that, however (and usually I do not), you can do a bit of trimming along the top of your sleeve cap, as Casey explains in her post. Essentially you're just whittling away that extra ease as evenly as you can, until you're close to a 2″ difference. I do it with pencil on my pattern tracing and measure a bunch of times until I get it right, then cut off the excess (transferring any markings of course).
Having done this many times, let me just tell you that it takes more than you think to get rid of even an inch of ease! That little bit I marked in the above photo would definitely not be an inch. But keep marking with pencil and re-measuring, and eventually you'll get there. Make sure to read Casey's post to get all the details. It really is one of my favorite sewing resource posts.
Mark the new sleeve cap on a tracing of your pattern, and you'll always have the right amount of ease for future versions!
Now how about the next step, setting in those sleeves? There are two different ways that I do it: by using two rows of ease stitching in the seam allowance of the sleeve cap, or by easing with pins only.
Two rows of ease stitching is probably the most common method to help ease in a sleeve. I like to put them 1/4″ apart, and use the biggest stitch length and loosest tension that I can. So if my seam allowance is 1/2″, I put them at 1/4″ and 3/8″ within the seam allowance (um, more or less… they're kind of wobbly, ha ha).
One tip: I always use contrasting thread from my project so I can see it to remove it after sewing, and I also use a different color bobbin thread so I know which ones to pull on when easing!
Here's how I personally do it: I pin the underarm seam, the top of the sleeve, and where the notches are on each side. Then I pull on the bobbin threads more than needed.
You'll see below that the sleeve cap is bunched really tightly, more tight than it needs to be to set it in. I like to work this way because then I can pull out the excess ease more easily, rather than a continuing juggling game of pulling on the bobbin thread, spreading out the ease, etc. Just a method that works for me.
Now there's also pin basting (or pin easing). I first read about it in this post on Gorgeous Fabrics (note: that blog is no longer active but the blog post is still up). You don't run any ease stitching, you just use pins. A lot of pins. Like, a lot a lot of pins. You go crazy with the pins. In the areas where you're easing (between the notches), it's going to look something like this… but over the entire sleeve cap.
The key is really to work the fabric back and forth with your fingers, so you work in the ease as you go. You take a little bit at a time between your fingers and go slowly and pin. As you pin (and pin and pin and pin), you're distributing the ease. I usually start at the notches on one side and work my way up to the shoulder, then do the same on the other side. If I end up at the top of the shoulder with too much ease leftover, I start working my way back down, moving pins around until I get it right. And I'll admit, it can take a few passes to get it right.
But if you have problems setting in sleeves with other methods, I'd recommend you try it sometime. The results are worth it!
I haven't used this method in awhile and couldn't fully try it out since I was doing gathered sleeves, but now I'm thinking I may give it a shot again the next time I have sleeves to set in!
How about you? What tricks do you have up your sleeves (har har) to get a nice result when setting them in? Please do share!
And keep sharing your projects in our Flickr group. We have over 230 members at this point! It's been fantastic seeing all of the Fall for Cotton love out there and watching the wonderful projects roll in. Your momentum is amazing!
Ooh, your fabric is beautiful!
At university I studied costumes and we had a whole day of just practicing easing in sleeves…I can now do it almost every time with no basting/easing stitching and no pins. It's all about feel! But when you go to measure to compare, you should actually measure along your stitching lines. Since you could have any number you like for your seam allowance, the perimeter measurement really means nothing and only gives you a rough idea if they're close…whereas the stitching line is a constant.
I never thought to use different colored bobbin thread to make it easier to know which thread to pull. Love the tip, thanks! As for the chanllege, I am just in the process of cutting out my dress, I have to do some fabric patching on the back bodice because there wasn't enough fabric, but I think it will come out just fine.
ohh ahh! Amazing, thanks for this great tutorial!
My favorite sleeves are the 1940's darted ones that don't really involve any easing, which is awesome for me because I'm lazy and I don't like dealing with sleeve ease lol! (Which is funny because sewing four tiny darts is more time consuming than just doing a normal sleeve but whatever.) BUT, now I know where to refer to the next time I encounter a sleeve that needs easing 😉 😉 Great tutorial!
Great post! This is a good reminder for me to check the ease amount before sewing, as I get super frustrated setting in sleeves. I think it is my least favorite part of sewing.
An older lady also told me that an easy way to do sleeves is before you sew up the side seams. Then you have a flat surface to work with and can really decided how you want to gather (if necessary) for the ease. Then you can just sew in the sleeve, fold it in half, line up the side seams, and sew from the end of the sleeve all the way to the bottom of the shirt without stopping! This also prevents weird bunching at the side seam/ sleeve bottom seam if you didn't gather quite right.
When I set in sleeves I always turn the actual blouse or dress upside down and then place the sleeve inside of the blouse the right way round. Might be an obvious thing to do, but it took me a while to come up with that on my own 😀 I also start by pinning the seems in the armpit first and then the top of the sleeve and the seem on the shoulder so I won't get into trouble with that especially if the sleeve is gathered.
I use 3 rows of gathering stitches at my normal stitch length but with a really loose top tension. The third row goes in at 6 or 7/8″ and I find I never run any risk of puckering that way.
I once read about a sleeve setting method (I can't for the life of me remember where!) that recommended sewing gathering stitches around the entire sleeve cap – from underarm seam to underarm seam, rather than just between the notches. This way, there's less "extra" fabric at any given point on the sleeve cap, making it easier to evenly distribute the ease and avoid any puckers. I've been using this method for the past couple of years and it's worked wonderfully each time; sleeves go in perfectly pucker-free on the first try.
I've never had the reasoning behind gathering only between in the notches explained to me – is it because typical arm movements would require more ease in that area? At any rate, I've never run into any problems ease-wise using the fore-mentioned method. I don't notice a difference in the look of the sleeve, either; it just looks really smoothly set-in (though I feel I should add that, previous to this method, my sleeves were never 100% pucker-free, so maybe you CAN notice a difference if you're used to seeing perfectly set-in sleeves using the traditional method). At any rate, I'd say it's worth giving this method a try.
As someone who loves vintage clothing and can manage repair and alteration but is new to garment construction, posts like this are a dream come true (and remind me that Casey has a treasure trove of posts too!) Thank you so much!!
The blouse is coming along so well, and I just adore the fabric choice. The sleeve tips are so handy! I am terrible at setting in – practice practice.
And I can't help but really believe that we should petition McCall's to reissue vintage patterns the way the other companies have, there are so many great ones, like the pattern you are using.
goodness, I am letting things falter!
But yes, you do the sleeves a whole lot like I do. I usually like to have the gather, to be honest, primarily because it kind of evens my shoulders out!
Like Vicki Kate, I recommend three rows of stitching, one right on the seam line, one just above, and one just below. I do this whenever I gather, but especially on sleeves. I then pin, hand baste sloppily, take the pins out, check how the sleeve is looking, then sew. I know this is a few extra steps, but this is how I was taught, and I really don't have trouble with sleeves, so maybe it is a good method because I have plenty of trouble with other things!

The International Cybersecurity Dialogue
Building a cyber bridge

Executing a Balance Between Privacy, Protection and Public Awareness – ICD Brief 48. →
Petya, US/Israel Cyber Partners, Canada/China Hacking Deal, Triggers for Article 5 – ICD Brief 47.
by ICD Posted on July 2, 2017
ICD Brief 47.
Welcome to a Special Edition of the ICD Brief.
In addition to our weekly updates, we bring you a France 24 news video on France's war on cyber attacks.
http://m.france24.com/en/20170616-france-focus-cybersecurity-cyberattacks-hacking-crime-school-uniris-technology-vivatech
Cyber related news dominates the global media landscape. Yet there is little practical information available to individuals and institutions in the event of a cyber incident. Why?
At the heart of France's war on cyber attacks demonstrates how the media can become an invaluable partner in educating the public.
Does this flood of facts help educate the public? What is media's role in building public awareness? What are some successful examples?
We start our inquiry with two highly respected experts: former Chief Security Officer, State of Michigan Dan Lohrmann and international cyber journalist Rob Pegoraro.
A positive review from Dan Lohrmann: "Great video. I think the US news media can do much more to educate Americans in the same way this France-24 video covers recent cyberattacks in France.
There are occasional pieces on hacking in the US mainstream media, offered on shows like 60 Minutes covering the hacking of cars. However, by and large, more deeper dives like this France-24 piece are needed here in the US."
Rob responds: "This is something I've thought a lot about (for instance, in this Yahoo Finance post from a few months ago). There are two things I want every story about cybersecurity to convey:
1) Hacks don't just happen. There's always a software vulnerability, a configuration screw-up, or a successful social-engineering exploit that made them possible—but if stories don't identify what went wrong, they'll leave most readers stuck at learned helplessness.
2) You're not powerless to stop hacks *if you do the right things.* If you let your computer or mobile device install its updates automatically, set up two-step verification and use a password manager, you will vastly reduce your attack surface. But if your response is to change your password every few weeks, like that Facebook user in the France24 story, you're not helping yourself much at all. "
Next week, we'll interview Senior Security Consultant Ben Rothke,CISSP, PCI QSA and hear how reporters are gearing up to cover cyber issues at The National Press Club's Journalism Institute in Washington DC.
Cyberattack Hits Ukraine Then Spreads Internationally
"Computer systems from Ukraine to the United States were struck on Tuesday in an international cyberattack that was similar to a recent assault that crippled tens of thousands of machines worldwide. In Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, A.T.M.s stopped working. About 80 miles away, workers were forced to manually monitor radiation at the old Chernobyl nuclear plant when their computers failed. And tech managers at companies around the world — from Maersk, the Danish shipping conglomerate, to Merck, the drug giant in the United States — were scrambling to respond. Even an Australian factory for the chocolate giant Cadbury was affected."
Concern Raised About Duplication of Cybersecurity Centers
"A new health information cybersecurity center based in HHS could duplicate the cybersecurity center already established in DHS, the bipartisan leaders of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee have said. In its fiscal 2018 budget documents, HHS said the new Health Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center will serve as a central point for information sharing in the healthcare sector across the government to assess cyber threats and to respond."
US Announces Partnership with Israel on Cybersecurity
"The United States and Israel announced plans June 27 to cooperate on cybersecurity issues. Thomas Bossert, assistant to the president for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, announced the new levels of cooperation between the two countries on domestic and international cyber policy, critical infrastructure protection, research and development, and workforce development."
Australia's Three-Pronged Cybersecurity Strategy
"Special adviser to the Prime Minister on cybersecurity Alastair MacGibbon has outlined the country's high-level cyber security strategy. At CSIRO's D61Live event — organised to coincide with Data61's first birthday — MacGibbon outlined the three aspects of the national cyber security strategy."
Baltics/Estonia
Ansip: Estonia Isn't Perfect Enough to Teach Other Countries Tech
"Andrus Ansip told EURACTIV.com in an interview that Estonia's digital success can't be copied everywhere and the 2007 cyber security attacks there would have been worse if EU countries hadn't shared information to help out.
Andrus Ansip is vice-president of the European Commission. He was prime minister of Estonia until 2014. Ansip spoke to EURACTIV in Tallinn as Estonia started its six-month EU Council presidency."
China and Canada Strike Corporate Hacking Deal
"China has signed an agreement saying it will stop conducting state-sponsored cyberattacks aimed at stealing Canadian private-sector trade secrets and proprietary technology. This industrial espionage accord was worked out this past Friday during high-level talks in Ottawa between senior Communist Party official Wang Yongqing and Daniel Jean, the national security and intelligence adviser to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau."
NATO Warns Cyber Attacks 'Could Trigger Article 5' as World Reels from Ukraine Hack
"A cyber attack against any member state would trigger Article 5 – Nato's mutual defence clause – the alliance has warned after a massive computer hack paralysed government ministries and dozens of businesses in Ukraine before spreading around the world."

Marion Barry and the Left's Hatred of Asian Entrepreneurs
Marion Barry's mouth set him up. The disgraced former mayor of Washington, D.C., who was caught on tape in a 1987 crack cocaine sting, made an even bigger disgrace of himself and his city on Tuesday. Celebrating a Democratic primary victory, the city councilman attacked small businesses owned by "Asians" in his district. Then the race-baiting clown doubled down.
Barry told supporters in D.C.'s Ward 8: "We got to do something about these Asians coming in and opening up businesses and dirty shops. They ought to go." Once pushed out, Barry promised, he would replace the foreign invaders with "African-American business people." Barry then took to the social networking platform Twitter to expound on the perils of "dirty" Asian shops in his neighborhood.
As documented by my Twitter curation start-up Twitchy.com, Barry posted photos of supposedly hazardous stores—including Chinese restaurants surrounded not by trash or toxic waste, but by Plexiglas barriers and reinforced doors. Barry explained that Asian-owned businesses that had the audacity to protect themselves from crime were "lowering standards" in his constituents' communities.
In Barry's bizarre world, law-abiding entrepreneurs who take steps to prevent robberies are the ones who threaten Ward 8's quality of life—not the armed thugs who threaten honest livelihoods in the first place. Vigilant wealth creators taking care of their families? Scourge of D.C. Profanity-spewing drug addicts inciting hatred against successful achievers of the American Dream? Model citizens!
Crazy Barry doesn't just need another round of rehab. He needs a reality check.
As a commenter on DCist.com noted, 2010 Census data showed that "Asians made up 0.4 percent of the Ward 8 population (blacks made up 93.5 percent, a 1 percent increase from 2000). If anything, Asians are moving out, not in—the Asian population decreased 13.6 percent (from 301 people to 260 people) between 2000 and 2010. Meanwhile, the child poverty rate in Ward 8 sits at 48.3 percent, a 1.2 percent increase since 2000—in contrast, the District's overall child poverty rate decreased 3 percent since 2000. Now that's what I call defying the odds."
If Barry's ignorant slurs had come out of the mouth of, say, former GOP Gov. George Allen of Virginia (pummeled for his "macaca" gaffe), there would be calls for his head from every civil rights organization in the Beltway. While the Washington Post reported that Barry "apologized," he showed typical fake penitence for "offending" Asians and claimed he was "taken out of context."
By "Asian," he blubbered to a local TV reporter, he didn't mean "Asian." He really meant all "those persons (who) come into our community, whatever color they are; it happened to be Asian initially." Put the prejudice pipe down, buddy.
Instead of showing true remorse, Barry dug in deeper with even more divisive, entitled and militant us vs. them propaganda: "We're spending our money there, and we demand respect," he told the Washington Post. "We demand they participate in community affairs. We demand they give jobs to Ward 8 people regardless of their cultural situation. That's as American as apple pie."
Spoken like a true racial racketeer.
But Barry's not alone. His incendiary rhetoric echoes other liberal black leaders who have long made a sport of scapegoating Asian immigrant entrepreneurs across the country. Just this February, Jeffery Muhammad, the veteran Nation of Islam leader in Dallas, lashed out at Asian-American business owners for being "just the latest in a long line of people who have come to this country—like Jews, Italians, Indians and now Asians—who have sucked the blood of and exploited the black community."
Just a fringe sentiment, you say?
Rapper Ice Cube, now a mainstream actor and comedian, penned "Black Korea" to demonize Korean store owners in South Central Los Angeles:
So they watch every damn move that I make.
They hope I don't pull out a gat and try to rob
they funky little store, but b***h, I got a job.
... So don't follow me, up and down your market,
or your little chop suey ass'll be a target
of the nationwide boycott.
And Al Sharpton, now a prominent MSNBC host, was caught on tape stoking hatred against Chinese-owned chicken restaurants and Korean grocers:
"We're the black chicken friers of the universe. We gonna go buy some Col. Sanders chicken. Then the Chinamen comin' and (inaudible) ... Koreans sell us watermelons. We eat watermelons all our lives. But they gonna come cut it up, put it in a bucket with a rubber band around it, and we gonna buy it like it's somethin' and we didn't know what it was."
Few dare to call out black racism against Asians. Those who do are met with nasty racial epithets, of course. Last year, when I called attention to flash mobs of black assailants in Denver, Wisconsin, Philadelphia and New York who were explicitly targeting Asian students and elderly Asian women for brutal assaults, my e-mail box filled with vitriol:
"(D)oes your family still live in poverty? Not anymore, since you married into the tribe ME LOVE YOU LONG TIME GI."
"Shut up whore."

Earlier research showed that multi-component dyadic interventions – including a combination of intervention strategies and addressing both the person with dementia and caregiver – have a beneficial impact on the mental and physical health of people with dementia and their family caregivers. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) of a multi-component dyadic intervention, which is a translated and adapted version of an intervention that has been shown to be effective in the US by Teri et al. (2003), was performed. The effects on caregivers' mood (primary outcome), burden, general health, and salivary cortisol levels (secondary outcomes) were studied.
Community-dwelling people with dementia and their family caregivers (N = 111 dyads) were randomly assigned. The experimental group received eight home visits during three months, combining physical exercise and support (psycho-education, communication skills training, and planning of pleasant activities). Both the physical exercise and support component were directed at both the person with dementia and the caregiver. The comparison group received monthly information bulletins and phone calls. There were three measurements at baseline (prior to the intervention), at three months, and at six months into the intervention. Data were analyzed with Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) based on an intention-to-treat analysis of all available data.
All analyses showed no benefits of the intervention over time on any of the outcomes.
The negative results might be explained by the translation and adaptation of the intervention that has been shown to be effective in the US: the intervention was shortened and did not include cognitive reframing. However, only the health effects on people with dementia and not on caregivers were studied in the US. Several other factors might also have played a role, which are important for future studies to take into account. These are: the usual health care in the country or region of implementation; the wishes and needs of participants for specific intervention components; the room for improvement regarding these components; the inclusion of positive outcome measures, such as pleasure, and the quality of the relationship.

FOR the first time since receiving life-threatening burns in the Boxing Day house fire, Sunshine Coast celebrity chef Matt Golinski is experiencing brief periods of semi-consciousness.
Mr Golinski remains in a heavily sedated state in the Intensive Care Unit at the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital.
He is not yet able to walk or talk however his father, Keith Golinski said that there had been some encouraging progress regarding his son's condition in the past week.
Matt's condition remains listed as 'critical, but stable'.
The Boxing Day fire claimed the lives of Mr Golinski's wife, Rachael, 38, and three daughters Sage,12, Willow, 12, and Starlia, 10.
Despite Mr Golinski's progress, he is expected to remain in hospital for several more months whilst medical staff continue treatment.
Keith praised the efforts of the hospital team for their compassion and care to date as well as acknowledging the strength of his son's body and spirit.
"We are so grateful to the hospital's medical team for their ongoing, excellent care of Matt.
"Their skill, combined with Matt's strength of will is what is keeping us going at present."
Keith thanked the community for the well wishes that continue to be directed toward the families concerned.
"On behalf of Rachael and Matt's families, we thank each and every person for their love and support, Keith said.
"I believe it continues to help Matt, but also helps to buoy the spirits of family and friends."
Keith said that funeral arrangements for Rachael and the children will be made in consultation with his son and family members.


Looking at Jay Reatard's discography you quickly realize the man loves releasing singles. By my count he has 16 of them in the three years he has become a solo artist. Outside of that, he also has three separate compilations, comprised of all 16 singles and some b-sides.
Based on this output, you would have to assume he has at least a half dozen records behind him, right? Well, in fact he has just released his sophomore album, the great Watch me Fall. Released in August of this year, it took me a few listens to find myself really enjoying Reatard's brand of garage punk.
I fell in love with his debut, 2006's Blood Visions, from the moment I first heard its opening track. It was urgent, fast, angry, and full of poppy undertones. It blended genres together flawlessly, and I couldn't stop listening to it for quite a while.
Watch Me Fall, was not as easy a sell. The first thing I noticed upon first listen was the fact that Reatard's fury seems to have been traded in for a deeper sense of pop sensibilities. It is a much slower disc then I was hoping for, but the more I listened to it, the more the songs started to get into my head.
Reatard's greatest strength is that his songwriting is infectious. You hear a song a few times, and it becomes of your daily life. Soon enough, you will find yourself singing his songs in the grocery store when buying bread. While the songs on Watch Me Fall are a lot slower, and seemingly less angry then its predecessor, the hooks are still there.
Tracks like "Before I Got Caught" or "Man of Steel" really draw you in, and stay with you.
If you love pop music with an edge, this record is for you, and will likely find itself ofnmany people's year end lists.

Q: KEK (Key Encryption Key) o que é e como usar corretamente Estava a ler "Criptografia e Segurança: O guia oficial do RSA" porém fui limitado a algumas páginas (se alguem tiver o PDF deste por favor compartilhe!!) e entao me deparei com a KEK e nao pude ler mais..
O que é e como usa-la corretamente?
Com tudo que eu li é apenas uma chave que assegura a segurança da chave original, entretanto li também que passwords (senhas de usuário) nao é algo muito seguro de se usar pois é mais facil de quebrar e conseguir a chave original.. na parte que ele explicava isso nao consegui ler mais (estava lendo na prévia do google books)

A: Key encryption key (KEK)
É usada pela aplicação para proteger(criptografar/descriptografar) outras chaves(e.g. TEK, TSK).
Um exemplo de uso
Se você já usou as chaves TEK e TSK para proteger alguma coisa, como uma chave de sessão, as mesmas não devem ser armazenados em claro, mas criptografado com uma KEK. Além disso, a KEK não deve ser armazenada no mesmo local que as chaves de criptografia que está criptografando.
Na imagem abaixo uma chave de sessão protege os dados, e uma chave de criptografia chave (KEK) protege a chave de sessão

Aqui tem um capitulo inteiro de um livro falando sobre isso. É muito bacana e fácil de entender :)
Exemplo código:
Código rodando no servidor 1:
public string Data(){
    AES objeto = new AES();
    objeto.key= getkey(EncryptedDEK);
    //descriptografa os valores
}

public string getkey(string EncryptedDEK){
  // conecta ao servidor 2 e obtem o DEK
  request(EncryptedDEK);
}

Código rodando no servidor 2
public string request(string encryptedDEK){
    //verificamos a requisição
    //descriptografamos a DEK que foi criptografada com KEK
   // e então retornamos o DEK descriptografado
}

Species - Plains Clubtail - Gomphus externus
Plains Clubtail - Gomphus externus
Other Names: Gomphurus externus
Potential Species of Concern
State Rank: S2S4
(see State Rank Reason below)
State Rank Reason (see State Rank above)
The plains clubtail is currently ranked S2S4 as a "potential species of concern" in Montana because it is potentially at risk of extirpation in the state due to limited and/or declining numbers, range and/or habitat, even though it may be abundant in some areas.
The Plains Clubtail is a fairly common, medium-sized dragonfly with a black body extensively marked with yellow including a dorsal strip of yellow on all abdominal segements--a moderate club at the end of the abdoman. Abdomen S10 mostly brown with yellow dot, while the Pronghorn Clubtail has more yellow S10-pale stripe in Male and mostly yellow in female. Sandy, gravelly or muddy streams and rivers with moderate current and grassy or wooded banks are preferred habitat (Dunkle 2000, Nikula et al. 2002, Paulson 2009).
Abdomen S10 mostly brown with yellow dot, while the Pronghorn Clubtail has more yellow S10-pale stripe in Male and mostly yellow in female.
This species is widespread in the central part of North America from Canada to Texas within the following states: Arkansas (SNR), Colorado (S2), Idaho (SNR), Illinois (S4), Indiana (S2S3), Iowa (S4), Kansas (SNR), Kentucky (SH), Michigan (SNR), Minnesota (SNR), Missouri (S4), Montana (S2S4), Nebraska (SNR), New Mexico (SNR), North Dakota (SNR), Ohio (S1), Oklahoma (S4?), South Dakota (SNR), Texas (SNR), Utah (SH), Wisconsin (S3S4), Wyoming (SNR).
Sandy or muddy streams and rivers with some current and grassy or wooded banks, as well as occasionally lakes are the choice habitats for the Plains Clubtail (Dunkle 2000, Paulson 2009).
Larvae feed on a wide variety of aquatic insects, such as mosquito larvae, other aquatic fly larvae, mayfly larvae, and freshwater shrimp. They will also eat very small fish and tadpoles.
Adult- The dragonfly will eat almost any soft-bodied flying insect including mosquitoes, flies, small moths, mayflies, and flying ants or termites.
Male Plains Clubtails make long territorial patrols over open water then return to shoreline to perch and to look for awaiting females. Copulation occurs near breeding locations in low vegetation. Females oviposit in long, straight flights by tapping the water with her abdomen (Dunkle 2000, Paulson 2009).

Hmmm. When I read posts I hear the poster's voice based on my knowledge of where they live or the image that's built up in my mind based on that poster's characteristics. I heard your posts in that slightly flat north eastern accent common among Cumbrians. Now I'm going to hear you using the whiny, irritating, for-fuck's-sake-shut-the-fuck-up accent much loved by Essex man.

When I documented the stereotype of Essex Man for the first time nearly a quarter of a century ago, I depicted someone blue in tooth and claw – a man who would sooner send his customised Ford Sierra to the crusher than vote anything other than Tory.
Today, Ford Sierras are no longer produced at Dagenham in the county and, judging by the grassroots support already palpable for Douglas Carswell after his defection to Ukip, neither is Essex Man's tribal loyalty to the Conservative party.
As many key marginals are in south Essex, there's not a great loylaty to either party.
Frinton – which didn't allow a fish and chip shop until the 1990s in case it lowered the tone – was the home of one of Ukip's first MEPs, Jeffrey Titford, who ran a very successful undertakers' business.
There's a man who can spot a lucrative opportunity
When Mr Cameron memorably described Ukip supporters as 'loonies, fruitcakes and closet racists', he failed to grasp that many of them were, from time to time, his own voters.
Cameron grasped that perfectly, that's why the Tories haven't won an election of a quarter of a century.

As an aside, never say in Cumbria that the people sound like Geordies, unless you fancy some rapid denistry work of the removal variety.

My old man wouldn't recognise them as "Cumbrian", as it used to be part of Westmorland, rather than Cumberland. At times, I get the impression he regards the merging of them (plus bits of Lancashire and Yorkshire) into Cumbria as one of the great crimes of the 20th century.

What Ed Miliband fails to grasp about the English is that liberty runs through our DNA

Heffer the political philospher, Where do you even start?
If there is a predominant political tradition in England it is liberalism — the liberalism that made us a nation of free traders, that caused a civil war and a Glorious Revolution when the power of the monarch seemed excessive and unreasonable, and that brought the Industrial Revolution and the subsequent explosion of wealth.
Like Toby Young he hasn't even understood J S Mill or even Tom Paine who came to the conclusion that liberal free trade and limited government had become a barrier to expanding liberty.
Perhaps the greatest achievement of the liberal belief that the law should provide citizen's protection to the executive (citizenship is a concept I doubt Heffer even believes in and would rather remain a subject of the crown) was a Tory home secretary drafting the European Convention on Human Rights. Heffer of course supports this over arbitrary executive privilege.
For centuries, the main desire of English people of every class was simply to be left alone, in peace and quiet, to get on with their lives.
Yes when the English working class defend their right to get on with their lives against the forces of international capital and the state, Heffer is there on the picket line.

A warm appreciation of Johnson's personal qualities but this article is not personal but purely politics. Heffer would not be writing the same article about Bob Crow making a good Labour leader.
This geeing up of Alan Johnson is a realisation that Miliband could get to Number 10 through arithmetical good fortune. If there is going to be a Labour leader they'd rather have a pliable Blairite populist.

I don't recall Heffer saying this about his first volume. Probably because the depiction of the fifties didn't fit in with the Mail's version.
Sacking a scientific adviser despite offering zero contrary-evidence to back up his decision must have won Alan Johnson many plaudits in the Mail.

Then there's this nonsense
Sacked from the Cabinet for having a mind of his own, former Environment Secretary Owen Paterson has bravely cast doubt on the Government's obsession with renewable energy production and warned that this misguided green agenda will raise energy prices for every household.
He's absolutely right, too, that for many years, ministers have been derelict in their duties by failing to plan a major nuclear power station building programme.
Mr Paterson's comments are a timely reminder to David Cameron of the importance of having people in his circle who think differently from him, rather than just the bunch of public school cronies who form his inner sanctum.
Here's Simon's dice with death after a cyclist recognised him
Had I been six inches further forward, the bike would have hit me at about 30mph. I would be writing this from a hospital bed, if I was lucky: my attacker, riding at speed into a large quantity of Heffer, might have come off even worse.
And this is the sort of bastards cyclists are
This is no laughing matter. Last year, a cyclist jumped a light and hit a nine-year old girl on a pedestrian crossing in Dorset.
If that wasn't bad enough, he simply got back on his bike and left the unconscious girl, who had a fractured skull, on the road, and carried on.
The poor little girl got 14 days in intensive care and suffered serious vision and memory problems for long after the incident. The cyclist got an inadequate 12 months for GBH inflicted by 'wanton and furious cycling'. Had he not given himself up the next day, he might never have been caught.

In 1885, Nikola Tesla inquires about his payment for his services to a certain Thomas Edison. In response, the man shockingly gives him full control of Edison Machine Works, before promptly retiring, and without any ill will whatsoever.
In 1886, Edison Machine Works is renamed Tesla Industries, and quickly sets out developing experimental weaponry, among other things, whose results can easily be described by the words "crazy awesome." Unsurprisingly, the United States Military takes an interest in the company and it becomes a very successful defense contractor.
In 1887, CEO Nikola Tesla is kidnapped by a group of spies who were sent by the Black Hand to force him to build superweapons for them. After almost a month in captivity, he escapes using an impromptu power-suit he built using spare parts from the abandoned warehouse he was held in.
In World War I, reports of Allied soldiers seeing a man-shaped entity completely wrecking Central Power forces makes rounds all across the world.


A Muncie man who had faced a robbery charge reached a plea agreement with Blackford County prosecutors.
HARTFORD CITY, Ind. – A Muncie man who had been charged with robbery was placed on probation after striking a deal with Blackford County prosecutors.
Thomas J. McCallister, 22, was arrested last April after he and his brother, Kevin, were accused of threatening a Hartford City man with a gun and knife before taking his wallet, which the victim said contained about $360.
The incident took place in the victim's North Cherry Street home.
In Blackford Circuit Court this week, Judge Dean Young accepted a plea agreement in Thomas McCallister's case.
McCallister pleaded guilty to theft and residential entry, and was given a one-year suspended sentence. The robbery charge was dismissed.
Kevin McCallister, now 20, also of Muncie, is scheduled to enter a guilty plea on Jan. 23.
After his arrest last year, Kevin McCallister told Hartford City police he had threatened his accuser with a BB gun after the Blackford County man had shortchanged him in a marijuana transaction.
