  • Children's Spats By: Monjio
    Children's Spats By: Monjio http://www.burdastyle.com/projects/childrens-spats Must have children’s spat pattern! Why must have? If you have a little one, they dress in so many costumes! This pattern can be used in so many of those costumes! This pattern can be used: -Say your child is dressed as a duck, or a bear. This pattern can be used as a base to build a 3-D foot to complete the costume entirely! Last year my son dressed up as ‘Spider Man’ I made a pair of red cotton spats to cover his tennis shoes. If I would have had more time, I could have painted black lines of web on to the red cotton. This year he dressed as a ‘Black Knight of the Round Table’. Using the same pattern, I made some spats out of dark brown suede which he wore over his winter boots. You can use this pattern for numerous costumes and uses!! Enjoy and good luck creating!! 1 Materials Any fabric! Step 1 — The Pattern This pattern was originally drafted for a three year old, he is now one year older but the pattern can still be used for him. The included spat pattern can be altered to have the closure on the side, just draft in the new seamline on the side and allow enough for an underlap. This pattern can be used for any child costume, so much can be done! Stuffed feet can be attached to the top, fake boot, lacing, shoes can be sewn or painted on the base.

  • PPE: Foundries AFFECTED CODES
    OREGON OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH DIVISION DEPARTMENT OF CONSUMER AND BUSINESS SERVICES PROGRAM DIRECTIVE Program Directive: A-113 Issued: December 10, 1980 Revised: January 25, 2012 SUBJECT: PPE: Foundries AFFECTED CODES/ DIRECTIVES: Division 2/I, OAR 437-002-0134 Personal Protective Equipment, PURPOSE: Provide guidelines for the interpretation, application and compliance evaluation of Division 2/I, OAR 437-002-0134 Personal Protective Equipment. BACKGROUND: Conditions encountered within foundry operations preclude the establishment of rules which are all inclusive or which can be equally applied to all circumstances as they relate to the requirements for high-temperature protective equipment. Radiant heat is unaffected by air circulation from fans, blowers, exhausts or other mechanical devices, thus the only protection against radiant heat is the reflective clothing or protective equipment used. The frequency of heat stroke and heat stress in a particular individual is directly related to the degree of radiant heat in the foundry operation. To apply just one rule for all conditions and circumstances in a foundry, can create hazardous situations or injuries which might not have occurred had the rules been interpreted and applied in a more flexible manner based on the employer’s knowledge of their individual operations. Unnecessary protective clothing may subject employees to possible injury or illness from the additional temperature rise created by the clothing and convective heat. Conversely, the lack of protective clothing for radiant heat can result in severe heat stress and heat stroke accidents which can occur before the employees are aware of the problem. PD-113 ACTION: A. The types of protective equipment needed and used in foundry operations and processes are determined, to a large extent, by the variables listed below.

Travel Uniform: Kiltie issued T-shirt, shorts, socks, hose tops, flashes, Bando shoes, and spats. Be careful while wearing spats as they get dirty very easily. Hair: Neatly trimmed and a natural color, long hair must be tied back with a black hair tie. Listed in order of donning (except for socks under the Bando shoes, these should be put on first). Hose Tops: Should be long enough so no skin shows between the bottom of the hose top and spat.

  • Marching Ensemble FAQ's (10/10/18)
    Marching Ensemble FAQ’s (10/10/18) What does the Marching Ensemble do and how much time does it take? The Marching Band and Color Guard (aka Marching Ensemble or ME) attend marching camp during the week before school starts. This is a one semester class that receives 5 units of “Elective” credit and a letter grade. During the first semester, they perform at home and playoff football games and several non-league basketball games, hold twice (sometimes three) weekly practices, perform at school-wide and community events, attend Cal Band Day (every 2 years) and march at two out-of-town competitions. Time commitment can be between 5 (weekday) and 20+ (game nights plus performances) hours per week during first semester depending on the schedule. Is there a cost to participate in Marching Ensemble? The marching program is solely dependent on donations from participants, community groups and local companies (corporate match). The program does not receive any District funding beyond teacher salaries and facilities usage. A suggested donation of $425 per student (for the 2018/19 school year) covers the cost of marching camp, music purchases, transportation, food, competition fees, uniform and accessory purchases, instrument repair/replacement, and a whole list of other miscellaneous but extremely necessary costs. These costs are comparable to the suggested donations for participating in athletic programs. What is marching camp? Marching camp, optional but highly recommended, is held at SRVHS the week before school starts, typically Monday through Thursday from 8:30AM to 2:30PM. The camp is run by the ME Leadership team with guidance from the Ensemble Directors.

  • Teatro-32..Teatro-32.1 .. Page1
    Vicki Ann Cremona FROM LOUIS XIV’S PARIS TO THE SCHWARZENBERGS’ CESKˇ Y´ KRUMLOV: «LE THE´ ATREˆ ITALIEN», ITALIAN ACTORS AND IMAGES OF THE COMMEDIA DELL’ARTE Printed imagery and the spread of Commedia dell’Arte The thirteenth-century castle in the town of Cesk´ˇ y Krumlov, sit- uated on the banks of the Moldava river in Bohemia, provides yet another example of the extent to which the fame and popularity of Commedia dell’Arte travelled across Europe. It houses a wonderful baroque theatre, complete with original eighteenth-century scenery and a large costume collection, a Masquerade Hall, and a collection of sixty miniatures on parchment, seven of which represent character-types from the Commedia dell’Arte. Although the exact date of production of the miniature paintings is uncertain, possible indications of their existence date from 1719, in an inventory that was drawn up when the Krumlov estate passed into the hands of the Schwarzenberg family. Another inventory dated 1733 provides a more clear reference to the paintings 1. The fact that the collection contains seven paintings of Commedia dell’Arte figures attests to the popularity of this type of theatre not only in European capitals, but also in the provinces of countries which were not geographically close to the Italian city-states. However, from the second half of the seventeenth century, the popularity of Commedia dell’Arte could be attributed to French, rather than Italian, sphere of influence, in keeping with a general adoption and adaptation of French courtly fashions in various cultural domains. The existence of the miniatures provides a clear indication of the importance of French influence in 1 Kateˇrina Cichrová, A history of the Schwarzenberg miniatures collection, in Kateˇrina Cichrová, Vicki Ann Cremona, Lenka Novákova, «Plusieurs Nations».

  • Men's Formal Attire, Here Comes the Groom!
    Men’s Formal Attire, Here Comes The Groom! By Janet Gundlach When most people think of formal wear, we tend to think of evening events-parties, the opera, or a formal dinner. Men also wore formal attire for building dedications, ceremonies and political functions but probably the most common event for men’s formal attire were weddings. The April, 1929 issue of the Ladies’ Home Journal suggests that the groom should dress up to the bride, because a well-dressed bridegroom sets off the bride to the best advantage. The man’s attire is determined by the formality of the bride’s costume. Mens_Formal_Attire.doc Page 1 Rev. 9/9/07 Men’s Formal Attire, Here Comes The Groom! For the formal day wedding the bride is dressed in a traditional gown of white with a long trailing veil and the man’s attire “has been prescribed by many years of tradition from which no deviation is permissible.” The groom wears a conventional cutaway coat in black or oxford gray cheviot with the edges that may or may not be bound in braid, but as of this date, they state that not being bound in braid is the “smarter”. The trousers may be of a black & white or black & gray striped worsted or a fine black & white checked that gives the impression of gray. These stripes are very subtle. For spring weddings a waistcoat (vest) could be a different color than the jacket. It could be fawn color, gray cloth or white linen. Again, they state that if the spats match the color of the vest, it is a very “smart touch”.
