Most patterns use the abbreviation TBL, for “through the back loop,” in either lower or upper case. You also might see it written as “in the back of the stitch” or with a “-b” added to the stitch, such as K2Tog-b or K1-b. How to Work K2Tog TBL To perform this decrease, you work the same as if you were knitting through the back loop of just one stitch, but instead, you go through two....
Each pair of jeans doesn’t yield lots of fabric, but you can quickly build a stash by checking the racks at local thrift shops for jeans that are soft and faded, but not totally worn out. Look for bib overalls, too, especially kid’s overalls with cute bibs that would be a fun addition when incorporated into a quilt block or used on the front of a denim tote or purse....
Tremonti sent the coin to PCGS for grading and encapsulation. At the time, Potter estimated that a Mint State 1969-S doubled die obverse is worth at least $44,000 and maybe as much as $100,000 or more depending on the grade it gets.

Die Variety Expert Ken Potter Authenticates the Coin Potter was so excited about this find that he sent out a news release about it, in which he related how he learned of this amazing find....

Soap recipe ratios involve a little bit of math, but the benefit is that it allows you to easily adjust a recipe to fit any size mold. By using percentages for soap making measurements, you can also get a better feel for the qualifies of the soap you’re making. For example, let’s say you have a recipe that makes 2 pounds of soap....

A reduction atmosphere occurs when the amount of available oxygen is reduced. This may not sound like things that will affect your pottery, but it can. The oxidation process, for example, can alter the color of the glazes or paint you’ve chosen to use. The reduction process, when oxygen is leeched out of your kiln atmosphere and pottery, can change the texture of your clay. Learn what’s going on in your kiln before you fire your next project....
The coin would feature an engraving of the president on the front and The Statue of Liberty on the back. It also called for inscribed lettering along the edge of the coin indicating the year of minting, the mint mark, thirteen stars, the motto In God We Trust, and the legend E Pluribus Unum. In 2009, the motto In God We Trust was moved from the edge to the coin’s obverse due to an outcry by the public....
Today, I am writing about how the radio communication should be done. I guess everyone must be aware of these things, you never know when such critical knowledge may come handy! Before making a radio call, decide about what you are going to say and to whom your message is meant for. If necessary, write down your message before transmitting it. If your message is long, divide it into understandable shorter messages....
I found a randomizeList() JavaScript function. The following JavaScript code can randomize an HTML list. The script can handle both Ordered List (OL) and Unordered List (UL) because it works on the LI items which are common to both types of list. If you want to randomly display items in an HTML list every time the page loads you can calls the randomizeList() function when the onLoad event of the BODY tag occurs....

Weaving in ends, blocking and adding embellishments are just a few of the things you might need or want to do before a knitting project goes from “done” to truly “finished.” Over time you’ll find the way you most like to weave in your ends and which method is most successful for hiding those pesky strands as you wear or use your project. Blocking can help smooth out rough edges (it does not, however, eliminate stockinette curl), make your knitting look a little more even, and help with minor sizing issues....
Keeping with the times, it was decided to portray a woman on the new smaller coin. It was decided that Susan B. Anthony, a pioneer of women’s rights, would be portrayed on the new coin. Research indicated that the coin could easily be confused with a quarter, so an eleven sided rim was included in the design and a marketing campaign was mounted to educate the public. All of this was to no avail....
Consider Cost Hardwoods like cherry or fine maple are expensive. On a big project like a full-wall entertainment center, the added cost of building solid-cherry drawers could add up to hundreds of extra dollars. Using a less expensive, but equally suitable, wood won’t affect the look of the finished piece unless you like to leave the drawers open for some reason. Consider Compatability Drawer boxes, even high-quality handmade boxes, typically have plywood bottoms....

Turning Chain Lengths The length of the turning chain depends on the height of the stitch you are crocheting. Tall stitches require more chain stitches; short stitches require fewer chains. Here are suggestions for turning chain lengths for the most basic crochet stitches. Note that these are only suggestions; feel free to use a turning chain of any length that achieves your objective for the project you are crocheting....
The first thing you must understand is that trusts are of two types: private and public charitable trusts. Indian Trusts Act 1882 covers only private trusts and it specifically excludes public charitable trusts from its ambit. Most people think that the Indian Trusts Act 1882 applies to public charitable trusts as well. But that is wrong. In some states, public charitable trusts are governed by Bombay Public Trusts Act 1950....
It’s likely that you have marveled at resin creations in a variety of small scenes. In dollhouse miniatures, for example, resins are commonly used to make drinks, glossy sauces on food, raw eggs, soups, or spilled and melted liquids. Epoxy resins are also used in railroad and scale scenes to create beautiful water effects. They’re relatively easy to work with as long as you understand the limits of the material and if know how to handle it safely....
Kiln mitts or gloves: These should be worn when handling any part of a kiln (other than a control panel) while it is firing or cooling.

Drawing Trump If you have three or more trump cards and some strong off-suit cards, it may be worth drawing trump to empty the table of trumps. Remember, there are only a maximum of seven trump cards, so if three are in your hand, that’s at most four split among the rest of the table. Leading with trump means that a single drawn trump from each player clears all but one of those trump cards as obstacles for you....
