1930s Bishop Sleeve Blouse & Pocket Detail Skirt

Do you ever have an idea in your mind that never really pans out when it comes to your sewing? Yep, that’s exactly what happened here. Both the blouse and skirt were going to be very different to how they actually turned out, mainly due to not having quite enough fabric for either of them! […] http://dlvr.it/Mr3PFm

A lost Ds9 episode/fic idea:

Julian notices Garak starts to act weird. He’s avoiding him. He makes mysterious subspace calls. He meets Quark several times at odd hours. He leaves a book filled with what appears to be code behind in Julian’s quarters and then gets upset at Julian for looking in it.

Julian investigates. He learns how to monitor Garak’s calls. He follows him when he goes out in the middle of the night. He learns some Cardassian and spends days trying to decode the messages in the book.

Then he finally decides to confront Garak. And the lizard man is all like “Happy birthday. I know you like to pretend you’re a spy so I created a mystery for you”.

Julian:

I love it.

There’s actually a great fic, “Presumption of Innocence,” that has Garak cooking up a challenging type puzzle-present for Bashir, not so much because of his friend’s spy fetish but because he wants to challenge Bashir’s intellect.

Geologists Find Clues In Crater Left By Dinosaur-Killing Asteroid

by Goeff Brumfiel / NPR

Scientists have had a literal breakthrough off the coast of Mexico.

After weeks of drilling from an offshore platform in the Gulf of Mexico, they have reached rocks left over from the day the Earth was hit by a killer asteroid.

The cataclysm is believed to have wiped out the dinosaurs. “This was probably the most important event in the last 100 million years,” says Joanna Morgan, a geophysicist at Imperial College in London and a leader of the expedition.

Since the 1980s, researchers have known about the impact site, located near the present-day Yucatan Peninsula. Known as Chicxulub, the crater is approximately 125 miles across. It was created when an asteroid the size of Staten Island, N.Y., struck Earth around 66 million years ago. The initial explosion from the impact would have made a nuclear bomb look like a firecracker. The searing heat started wildfires many hundreds of miles away.

After that, came an unscheduled winter. Sulfur, ash and debris clouded the sky. Darkness fell and, for a while, Earth was not itself.

“I think it was a bad few months, really,” Morgan says.

That’s an understatement: Scientists believe 75 percent of life went extinct during this dark chapter in Earth’s history, including the dinosaurs.

Researchers have sampled Chicxulub before, but this expedition by the European Consortium for Ocean Research Drilling precisely targets a key part of the crater yet to be studied: a ring of mountains left by the asteroid.
