How long does a video stay on Youtube?? I sometimes get a message to say
the video I am looking for has been removed. That is why I rather took my
chances with my own PC and its saving abilities.

Dear Friends,
It's now 6:00pm Friday here in Ballarat and my friend Mike KONTUR has
just left. He recorded me making a leaf tally using midlands bobbins
and will now edit it and then post it on Utube.
I shall let you know the link as soon as he's done it.

Take a look at this page - http://www.guildofneedlelaces.org/Sales.html - it

Thank you Tess. The big problems lacemakers have are often the related to the
technique of making them rather than the proces itself. This one proves my
point. If anyone has a particular problem try thinking of different ways of
making it and asking ofhers how they do it, you may find an answer.
My way is similar to Jean's but I don't let go of the weaver bobbin at
all and I do the tensioning with a sort of double flick each time the
weaver has gone underneath the right hand passive. I usually use
spangled bobbins (they don't roll around!) but the method works with
any style of

The bottom-line question - it seems to me anyway - is how long a video will
remain on YouTube, and who makes the decision as to when it is taken off.
If I could be sure it will remain available for a good long time (and I
surely hope so, as it looks like a wonderful technique), then all I would
Videos are normally only taken down from YouTube if there is a
copyright violation involved or if the original uploader decides to

You might like The joker is wild. In cards, a wild card is one that can
have any value.
I believe your name is pronounced with the 'e' - in English 'yo-key' (or do
you pronounce the 'j' as a soft g sound).
Lace content: we have 'wild lace' too, a chaotic but organized style.

In game shows, the expression play the joker is used in the way you
describe. I don't know if the expression is used in any card games.
The other connotation of Joker is as one of Batman's adversaries.
