text: I managed to finish the pj shorts I was planning for my son. I bought the fabric originally to make him a banner for his birthday. I bought a little extra, but I wasn't sure what I would make out of it. I revisited my kimonos thinking about summer pajamas for my boy. The ties/trim were some bias tape I bought at the thrift store. I used a thrifted pattern for the shorts and cut out the pieces last week. Being the airhead that I can be sometimes, I didn't realize they included pockets (not really important for pj's), so when I went to sew them today, I had to cut the pockets out of an old t-shirt. Plus, I used my serger for the first time! I did pretty well, and now I'm motivated to take it to more adventurous projects. Oh, I used the blind hem stitch for the first time using my regular machine. Stay tuned for some more pj's and a robe, too. (I've started them.)
  The dinosaur shirt was a 75cent find at the thrift store. I added the applique. You can see a pretty lame tutorial I did for them here. Fun! And, they're great for covering up spots on your kid's clothing.
  Oksana put her infant son, Denis, into the Baby Hatch at an orphanage. When he became a teenager she went to reclaim him and bring him back to Moscow. Sadly, it was not for love, but for his special talent that made him useful to her and her associates: Denis could not feel pain, which made him ideal to be a jumpman, someone who jumps in front of cars, gets hit, and blackmails the drivers. If they don't pay, they are taken to court. These two elements —numbness and corruption— are the counterpoints of this drama. Putin's Russia is the morass, but corruption has been part of that culture for much longer. Jumpman's corruption is systemic from the police who target the cars to be jumped, the hospital staff where "the victim is taken," the lawyers and judge who try the cases of the marks who don't pay. At first Denis was enchanted by his beautiful mom, having a room of his own, catching up on 16 years of birthday cake and being part of a community. Little by little, however, things stop working, he walks starts to feel pain —physical as well as emotional, and he walks away from the new life. No problem: he is expendable; it is the system that endures.
  I REALLY like this pedal! Perhaps my favorite in the Tone City Overdrive Line-Up! This one gives you 30dB of “Overdrive” Boost. Compare that to the crazy # of clean boost pedals out there – and you have yourself a winner right here.

  The Philadelphia 76ers are on the verge of making history. Not the good kind, unfortunately, as six more losses in a row will give them a record-breaking 27 consecutive defeats. That’s one more than the Cleveland Cavaliers amassed between December 2010 and February 2011. That streak helped position the Cavs to land Kyrie Irving, who’s already a two-time All-Star in only his third NBA season. So there is a definite silver lining when the 76ers could have two lottery picks in a draft that could include the likes of Andrew Wiggins, Jabari Parker, Julius Randle, Joel Embiid, and several other quality prospects. That’s a lot to look forward to. But there’s little outside of the play of promising rookie Michael Carter-Williams to be excited about in the present if you’re a Sixers fan.
  The next opportunity to break the streak comes tomorrow night, when they host the Chicago Bulls, who lost 107-104 in their previous visit to in November. That victory gave Philadelphia a 3-0 record to start the season, following wins over Miami and Washington. Those wins over three of the Eastern Conference’s present top five has to seem like an eternity ago to suffering fans and NBA betting enthusiasts who might have had high hopes after that hot start.
  While the bottom has fallen out for the 76ers after starting so well, the Bulls have overcome a bad start to mount a challenge for the East’s #3 seed. Many expected little from Chicago when Derrick Rose went down in late November and even less when Luol Deng was traded to the Cavs in January. But after a 9-16 start, the Bulls have rocketed up the NBA standings and now sit fourth in the East at 37-30, one game behind Toronto and one and a half games ahead of the Wizards. Thus far in 2014, the Bulls are 25-12, which is the same record that the conference-leading Indiana Pacers have posted in that time.
  Despite how well the Bulls have played over the last few months, there might be reason to feel a tinge of optimism that the streak could come to an end tomorrow night. In last night’s 99-90 loss at Indiana, the 76ers actually led after the first quarter and were down only three heading into the final stretch. However, Carter-Williams missed a three that would have tied the game with 2:15 left, and the Pacers closed it out from there.
  Philly’s struggles in the final few minutes of each quarter made all the difference. Indiana was a staggering +21 total from the 3:00 mark, scoring 41 total points in that stretch to the Sixers’ 20. If they can avoid that and play four quality quarters against the Bulls, tomorrow night could be the night. Of course, the odds are likely that the home team will find a way to lose a 22nd game in a row, but the streak has to end sooner or later, right?
