Pets, Pets, Pets
Spay Day USA is always the last Tuesday in February. Last Hope Animal Rescue marked the occasion by holding another free feral cat TNR (Trap/ Neuter/ Return) clinic on Sunday Mar. 1. Thanks to the all volunteer team of seven veterinarians plus about 30 vet techs and helpers, 93 cats (most trapped that weekend) were spayed or neutered, vaccinated, wormed, and treated for fleas/ear mites. Merci beaucoup: We (and the cats) are so grateful to Dr. Dennis Leon and his staff for hosting the event at Levittown Animal Hospital, and to the participating vets- Dr. Gay Senk, Dr. Diane Levitan, Dr. Kevin Cummins, Dr. Ron Pettinati, Dr. David Foster, Dr. Frank Valenzisi, and Dr. Janet Juliano; also to Diane Pionegro for coordinating the vet techs and supplies; and to the many vet techs, students from Suffolk Community College vet tech program, and other assistants who made our 4th free clinic successful, even though Mother Nature's looming blizzard presented new challenges. The Bernice Barbour Foundation partially funded this clinic.
Feral spayathons are a great way to stop the kitten influx; to curb overpopulation of LI's ubiquitous cat colonies. Word of a free clinic spreads like wildfire among caretakers so slots fill up fast. We overbook since our actual patients average about 75 percent due to the uncertainty of synchronizing trapping to the clinic. This time Last Hope staggered sign-in times to make intake go smoother. We started off slowly because of the presnow before the big storm. Later, especially when the Oak Beach crowd arrived, operating rooms got quite busy.
Many caretakers bring multiple cats. All tabbies or tuxedos look alike in a trap. Since these are not familiar pets, often even the sex unknown until anesthesia, labeling the cats and traps correctly is crucial for return to the proper person. After each clinic we try to fine tune tagging procedures especially to distinguish cats with medical complications or the tamed cats that will either be leukemia tested or not get ear tipping, and to save recovery techs time locating the right carrier or trap.
Our silliest client was the stowaway. This female had been spayed at the Animal Lovers League clinic the weekend before but she hadn't learned her lesson. She entered the trap again with another cat. Rather than risk losing both if they released her, the feeders brought Ms. Stowaway along as moral support for her buddy. She had some hours to ponder her folly.
Keeping post-surgical cats warm is so important. Towels and sheets thrown over traps to calm frightened captives are recycled later when workers cradle drowsy kitties. In recovery cages sleepy cats wrap their paws around a different kind of heated, security blanket- microwaved socks filled with rice.
Our previous TNR clinics had been at the hospital adjoining the Last Hope Dog Center, so our territory was a bit more familiar. Thistime Dr. Leon "lent" the itinerant cat crew his Levittown Animal Hospital- a truly generous gesture. "Operation Cat-snip" is similar to an alien invasion. Every inch of your hospital is completely taken over by strangers and outside veterinary personnel. Traps are stacked everywhere. Thecats themselves, particularly the males, are not happy campers and express displeasure with that distinctly malodorous feline perfume which lingers despite a flood of bleach. It takes a few days for the air to forget the ferals were there.
Despite the intrusion and infusion, Dr. Leon felt the event ran well "in a foreign land" and has even invited Last Hope and company back for the next TNR clinic- a magnanimous gesture. I would like to spread the word about his other public service. The last Tues. of each month at Levittown Animal Hospital (www.levittownvet. com) Dr. Leon offers free seminars (with refreshments) open to all on a variety of topics like heartworm, vaccines, and dental care. Thenext Parent- Teacher Conference, as he dubs them -"Vomiting Regurgitation, and Diarrhea… oh, my!" will be Mar. 31 at 7 pm. Call 516-796-2266 to RSVP.
On a very sad note, one of our vet tech volunteers, Marian Krauss of Massapequa, passed away suddenly while tending to her own dogs the day after helping at the clinic. Marian had assisted at other Last Hope TNR events. Few, including me, knew the amazing scope of her animal advocacy.
Actually Marian was a brilliant scientist, a retired geneticist who researched at Cold Spring Harbor and was later a partner in a NYC pre-natal genetics testing laboratory. She also dedicated her life to animal welfare. As a 25-year volunteer for the Bronx Zoo, Marian supervised other volunteers and organized the children's zoo programs. Two years ago on her 70th birthday she invited friends to a private tour at the Bronx Zoo. According to her cousin Jack Schnurr, Marion inspired others by her example; she understood that pets, and even wild animals in today's fragile environment, cannot take care of themselves so we have an obligation to protect them.
In addition, Marian gave time to Bide-A-Wee, Little Shelter, a New Rochelle rescue, and other organizations, where she shared her vast knowledge and devotion to all creatures. Marian made several trips to the world's largest shelter, Best Friends in Utah, to help and to learn. She was a world traveler, enjoying two safaris and the Galapagos, at times touring with other scientists. She just returned from three weeks in Antarctica.
Marian's three senior dogs, all rescues, have been adopted by her dear vet tech friend. As another shelter colleague wrote: "I know Marian Krauss won't be forgotten. She was one of the rare ones; selfless, nurturing, a friend to all she knew."
For Adoption:"Emma" a Rottweiler and "Prince" a mackerel tabby are among the dogs and cats for adoption at Babylon Town Shelter (643-9270) Lamar St. W. Babylon. "Emma" in Cage 40 is a stray about 6-7, who loves people, but would prefer a home without other pets. "Prince" in C-5, a perpetual purr machine about 2, was abandoned outdoors when his owners moved. Cats: "Bailey" in the lobby & "Charlie" in C-10- Morris clones. Dogs: "Tyra"- Rottie mix Cage 42; "Sarge"- athletic Pit Cage 1.
Fabulous Fundraiser: Almost Home is holding an Animal Well-Fair-a huge Chinese Auction-to benefit their pet outreach program in Wyandanch on Sat. Mar.21 from 11:30 -4 at the Elks Lodge, Edgewood Rd. Smithtown (just north of Jericho Tpke.). Over 100 prizes including tickets to the Mets, Vanderbilt Museum, Top of the Rock, Bronx Zoo and many gift certificates such as Danfords, the Irish Coffee Pub, Huntington Cinema Arts.

International Property Rights Index 2010 Report
The 2010 International Property Rights Index (IPRI) is an international comparative study that measures the significance of both physical and intellectual property rights and their protection for economic well-being. In order to incorporate and grasp the important aspects related to property rights protection, the Index focuses on three areas: Legal and Political Environment (LP), Physical Property Rights (PPR), and Intellectual Property Rights (IPR). The current study analyzes data for 125 countries around the globe, representing ninety-seven percent of world GDP. Of great importance, the 2010 gauge incorporates data of PR protection from various sources, often directly obtained from expert surveys within the evaluated countries.

Ted Lilly joked before Tuesday night's game that Ryan Dempster never should have tried to imitate him when he jumped over the dugout fence three weeks ago and broke his big right toe.
"I tried to warn Ryan," Lilly said. "That was something [ Jason] Marquis and I were doing, and I tried to let Ryan know it was a thing that maybe just athletes should stick to. He desperately wanted to be part of that crowd, and it came back to haunt him, unfortunately.
"Maybe it will motivate him to try and take care of himself and be a little more agile. I don't know if it's in the cards for him, but I'll tell you one thing -- he can locate a fastball. That's more important than jumping over a fence."
But Dempster definitely was not in midseason form Tuesday night in his return from the disabled list, allowing six runs on nine hits in a five-inning stint.
The Cubs went on to lose 11-6 to Houston as their five-game winning streak was snapped before a crowd of 40,814 at Wrigley Field. They also fell into second place in the National League Central, a half-game behind the Cardinals, who routed the Dodgers 10-0.
"I felt good going into the game; I felt ready," Dempster said. "I just didn't do a very good job."
In his first start since July 2, Dempster put the Cubs in a 4-0 hole after three. He made a crucial mistake in the third.
Trailing 2-0, he threw wild to second on a potential double-play grounder instead of getting the easy out at home.
Catcher Koyie Hill was yelling at Dempster, who paid him no heed.
"I did hear him, and I think that's why I threw it in center field. When I went to throw to second, I heard 'home.' I should have known to go home. ... Bad baseball."
The Cubs caught a break when Roy Oswalt left with a lower back strain in the second, and they scored three off reliever Wesley Wright in the fourth to make it 4-3.
Dempster gave up a two-run homer to Miguel Tejada in the fifth before Kosuke Fukudome reached on a ground rule "inside-the-shirt" single leading off the bottom half. Astros reliever Jeff Fulchino fumbled a comebacker and watched it fall into his jersey. With a sheepish smile, Fulchino fished it out as Fukudome reached.
"How about that one?" manager Lou Piniella said. "When you think you've seen everything ..."
After Derrek Lee walked with one out, Aramis Ramirez's three-home run tied the game 6-6.
But Geoff Blum greeted Angel Guzman with a home run with two outs in the seventh, and they scored three more in the eighth.

Football Team Begins Practicesby Matt Wilson
The Journal Review • August 20, 2008 Share:
Matt Hudson still has a sour taste in his mouth.
Hudson quarterbacked 13 games last season, helping Wabash's football team to an 11-2 record and berth in the final eight of the Division III Playoffs where the Little Giants lost to eventual-national champion Wisconsin Whitewater. But Hudson still doesn't like the fact Wabash lost two of its final four games last season.
He said this year's Little Giants aren't going to be complacent with finishing in the top eight in the country. He said this year's team is committed to having another successful season, and that journey started Tuesday when the Little Giants had their first fall practice under first-year coach Erik Raeburn.
"The summer was long enough," said Hudson, who spent his summer living with his grandparents in Crawfordsville while working promotions for ESPN Radio in Indianapolis.
"I'm not going to use the cliche that I was ready to come out and hit somebody, because that's not what I do. But I did really miss these guys and I missed the competition."
Senior defensive lineman Jared Lange, who missed the spring practices with the team, also was excited for Tuesday's first practice. The Little Giants ended their season Dec. 1 with a 47-7 loss to Wisconsin-Whitewater.
"I always look forward to getting back here with my football family," said Lange, who spent his summer working in Denver for a Wabash alumnus who is a truck broker.
"I have been looking forward to this day since Dec. 1."
But Tuesday's first practice was more than just conditioning and continuing to learn the new offense Raeburn has brought in. It was more about helping between 50 and 60 freshmen get accustomed to college life and make them part of the Little Giant family.
Hudson can remember his first day of practice as a freshman and how the upperclassmen helped him feel part of the team. Now as an upperclassman, he and the remainder of the juniors and seniors are trying to do the same for this year's first-year players.
The Little Giants would split up into different teams during practice, and each of the upperclassmen group were paired up with at least a couple of freshmen. They went through a team building exercise where each of the freshmen would introduce themselves.
"The main thing we wanted to do today was to get to know the 50 or 60 freshmen that are out there for the first time," Lange said. "We just try to get to know each of them and really emphasize family."
Raeburn liked the way the upperclassmen welcomed in the freshman.
"The older kids remember going through their first day of practice as freshmen and they did a good job of taking the younger players under their wings," Raeburn said.
The seniors already went through their bonding experience. A couple of weeks before camp started, they went whitewater rafting in Jackson Hole, Wyo., then climbed Kings Peak, which is the highest mountain in Utah.
Hudson said there was a little difference between the first practice with Raeburn and the first practice with Chris Creighton in previous years.
"They were similar in that we had the maxing out sessions and we had team meetings," Hudson said. "But if there was a difference, this practice might have been a little less grueling and we worked more on the mental side of the game. That is a good thing because when you are trying to get 130 players, 50 of those you have never seen before, on the same page, you have to retain a lot of information. So it went well."
Raeburn said Tuesday's first practice was more difficult than others because he brought in a new offense, defensive and special team's system. He said the players did a good job of retaining the information they learned during spring practice.
"The energy and effort were there," Raeburn said. "We had some mental errors, but when you are running a new system things are not going to be as perfect as you would like them to be for the first game. But I was super happy with the energy and effort."
Keeping a tradition going, the Little Giants won't be on campus for the remainder of this week's practices.
The players and coaching staff left Tuesday night for Twin Lakes Camp in Hillsboro and won't return until Friday night.

The voice startled me. I was driving down a busy street in Atlanta on my way to the grocery store, when a little voice told me to visit the ornate church on the hill. I had attended a festival at the church, St. John Chrysostom Melkite Church, many years ago. I knew the congregation was Catholic, but that was all I knew.
I struggled against the impulse. "It's a weekday," I told myself; "no one will be there."
But then I recalled a passage from The Inner Voice of Love by Henri J. M. Nouwen. "You have to trust the inner voice that shows the way," he wrote. "Only by attending constantly to the inner voice can you be converted to a new life of freedom and joy."
Deciding to heed his advice, I pulled off the road and parked in the church lot. It was a stifling August morning. As I climbed from the car, I reflected glumly that this surely had been the worst summer of my life, and not just because of the heat. I was halfway through seven weeks of radiation therapy for cancer. It seemed that no matter what I was doing, I would feel suddenly overwhelmed with grief and shock over my illness.
I was also fretting over my inability to write. It had been weeks since I had produced anything that I didn't immediately toss into the recycle bin on the computer. Usually my writing seemed to flow effortlessly from a deep secret well inside me. Usually writing was a form of prayer for me. As I sat at the computer, lulled by the clicking sounds of the keyboard, I poured out articles about my faith journey and felt a sense of closeness with God. But lately inspiration had been in short supply, and the computer seemed to be glaring accusingly at me. Since the word inspiration means "guidance by divine influence," I concluded that I was in spiritual trouble.
"God has abandoned me," I thought, as I plodded up the steps to the sanctuary.
The front door was locked, so I rang the bell at the side door. No answer.
"Give up and go home," my rational mind advised. But another voice, the quieter one, whispered, "Try again." So I did.
This time the door opened. A stocky, dark-haired man in Bermuda shorts and T-shirt greeted me.
"I'm looking for the priest," I explained. He smiled widely and gestured toward himself. "I'm Father John," he said.
Until that moment, I'd had no idea what I would say. The words that tumbled out of my mouth startled me. "I'd like to make an appointment for confession," I said, "I'm going through some hard times."
I explained that I was a parishioner at a nearby Catholic church, but had felt a strong impulse to stop in to see him. He nodded kindly and invited me into the sanctuary.
"I'll be right back," he said.
I figured he'd gone into his office to consult his calendar for a future date for us to meet. But just a few minutes later, I looked toward the front of the sanctuary and saw him standing there in full priestly garb. He gestured for me to join him in the front of the church.
As we stood side by side facing the tabernacle, he prayed aloud to the Holy Spirit to guide us. When it was my turn, I was startled by the storm of tears that shuddered through me. When I was able to speak again, I told him about the cancer diagnosis. I told him about my inability to write. I confessed that my faith was shaken. I felt abandoned by God.
Somehow the priest said everything I needed to hear. That I was God's beloved daughter. That God would never desert me, and that he would walk with me, even in the darkest times. When I knelt down for absolution, the priest extended an arm gently around my shoulders. In that moment I sensed strongly that we were not alone. I had a very deep feeling that someone was listening when the priest asked God to bless me.
As I was leaving the church, I asked the priest to recommend a good book for me to read. He didn't hesitate.
"Read the Gospel of John," he said. "Read it very slowly and listen to what God is saying to you."
I drove home and dug out my Bible. I sat at the dining room table and opened to the Gospel of John. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
I realized my words had been coming from God all along. And as I ran to the computer to pour out what had just happened, I realized that even if my well had temporarily run dry, it would soon be overflowing. I trusted that God was still guiding me.
But now I had a better sense of where to find him. Not in dramatic bolts of lightning. Not in ferocious claps of thunder. Instead, I would find him in that little voice whispering within my heart.

2014 Ford F-150 Tops Most American Lists, Again
Dearborn's Bread and Butter Takes First Place on Two Lists
In the day and age of the Internet, it seems stories are dominated by top 10 lists, with each outlet, think tank, and agency having its own list—often with vastly different outcomes for ostensibly the same (or similar) criteria. The issue of domestic content has been a popular and contentious one for many years, with some claiming that regardless of final manufacturing and parts sourcing, domestically built foreign-brand cars aren't truly "American," whereas some domestic-branded models built overseas should be.
But removed from the context of inflamed enthusiast passions, there is cold, statistical analysis of content and manufacturing data, which knows no brand loyalties. But topping both the Cars.com and American University's Kogod School of Business lists of the "most American" vehicle for 2014 is the Ford F-150. Both lists use the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's American Automobile Labeling Act (AALA) list as a starting point but add in their own proprietary measurements and methodology to come up with their rankings. The second most-American vehicle on the Cars.com list was the Toyota Camry, whereas the Kogod list had the Chevrolet Corvette tie the F-150 for "most-American," with General Motors' Lambda large crossover triplets—the Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, and GMC Acadia—coming in Second.
But if you're in the market for a fullsize truck and domestic content is an important factor to you, the Ford F-150 is officially your most-American choice for 2014.

There are several chilling quotes and clips popping up about DJ AM since he died, but listening to him call crack his "drug of choice" might be the most telling of them all.
In a recent interview with MTV News to promote his upcoming reality show about drug abuse, DJ AM talked about how he bought a crack pipe to show how easy it is. He said, "I bought a crack pipe ... that was my drug of choice. And I walked out and I'm holding it ... and then I realized after I was holding it that my palms were sweaty and I was like, 'Wait a minute, this is not smart for me to be holding this.'"
AM was found dead in his apartment Friday night of an apparent drug overdose. A law enforcement source told us they found a bag of crack by his body.

Best UN-Heard Manga
We all heard of great manga like Fruit Baskets and One Piece, but what about the others that don't make the top 10 list even though they deserve it? I though it would be nice if everone listed one of there favorite manga that isn't widely known. Hopefully people will read your post and check out the book.
Reminder: please give a short bio on your selected title.
My personal favorite is Kimi wa Pet >>> its about a successful over stressed buisness women who meets a homeless young handsome guy. She offer him free food and rent all he has to do is be her pet ( no sex) just act like her dog. Soon feelings develope and things get complicated. It's super funny and edgy
Amazing agent luna and Time stranger Kyoko
Be Positive and Life is better
Hot Gimmick
A complicated life of a teenage girl, with 3 guys crushing no her.
I need friends...
Four-Eyed Prince?a girl who likes her senpai but then got rejected and only to find that those two r not blood related siblings cuz her mother got remarried?
Level E.
The manga-ka is very popular, but this hilarious comedy doesn't get the attention it deserves at all.
This message was not brought to you by ducks. Sorry.
ZONE-00 is an AMAZING un-heard of manga!!!!
Where the hell did two lowly familars get those attitudes?!
Yankee-kun to Megane-chan and A kiss to my prince.
They are really great but unfortunately they don't get the attention they deserve!
YKTMC "I copied the description" Shinagawa Daichi is a high school delinquent who just wants to be left alone. However, class rep Adachi Hana wants to be friends with him, but Shinagawa doesn't want to. Shinagawa finds Adaichi extremely annoying and he can't seem to get rid of her, so they become friends anyways. Full of comedy and a tad bit of romance.
A Kiss To My Prince "Copied too" Everyone always says to set high goals for oneself. Sei-Ann, an orphaned young lady who was raised in the care of a noblewoman, does just that when she decides she'll become the prince's bride. With above average looks and ambitions that would rival that of a king, Sei-Ann is determined to leave her social status behind and become the wife of the next Crown Prince. Ever since she was a child, she knew that she was somehow special and was meant to go places. And even if it meant enduring a marriage with the most hideous looking prince, she feels it would be a small price to pay to claim her fate as the First Lady of the kingdom.
How come my world is changing now?
Let's see:
Boku no Hatsukoi wo Kimi ni Sasagu - about a boy who shouldn't live past the age of 20 but still falls in love.
V.B. rose - about a girl who works in a custom wedding dress shop.
Hitsuji no namida: a girl who tries to get into a room. the room already has a resident. but the resident wouldn't let her go in.
These three are pretty good, but the first one is a tragedy (the description should already give off the implication that it is a tragedy)
OMG! Kamisama Hajimemashita!!!!!~ Its amashing!
Nanami is a regular highschool girl but when her father leaves her all his debts and runs away and she gets evicted from her house she---wait for it---- becomes a god! Well not intentionally. She saves a guy from a dog and he gives her his house (which happens to be a shrine) there she meets Tomoe who is a hot fox demon and the previous god's familiar. So she becomes the new god and I have to say this is my new all time favorite manga. Excellent art and AMAZING story. Maybe I just like it because I got a thing for guys with animal ears... :D oh well! Great manga all the same.
1/8/2015 and I'm back on CR help D: (also message me <3)
Akagami no Shirayukihime - Sorata Akizuki
"Shirayuki was a young girl born with unique apple-red hair. She meets a famous but foolish Prince Raji, who falls in love with her at first sight and orders her to become his concubine. With nowhere else to go, Shirayuki cuts her hair and escapes to a neighboring country. While traversing through the forests, she meets a young boy, Zen, who helps her after she boldly cures his wounds but then gets poisoned by an apple given to Shirayuki. Meanwhile, Prince Raji sends out henchmen to search for her. What will happen to Shirayuki? What is Zen's true character? A refreshing fantasy story between an optimistic heroine and a prince who constantly stays on her watch."
It's wonderfully drawn, has very enjoyable & likable characters, and has a good plot.
And it just keeps esculating..

666 Satan, and yes you will become a zombified follower of satanism , just kidding, you won't be hypnotized into worshiping Satan or anything like that, you'll just become Satan himself.
It's been serialized by Viz Media but I guess people stray away from it by its use of "Satan".
Jio Freed is a 12 year old boy who has one dream, to take over the world, and not only that he has a secret... He's got a boomerang that'll kick major tail, and he's got something inside of him but that's not important at all...
Wait a minute!? That sounded similar to something I've heard before! Why of course!? 666 Satan was created by Seishi Kishimoto, that ring any bells? Yep, the creator of Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto's younger twin brother. Now if you like Naruto, boomerangs, or things inside of people, then you'll definitely like this. If you don't like Naruto then don't despair, in my opinion, 666 Satan is much more mature than Naruto, though I still like Naruto.
But seriously, try 666 Satan.

I guess I am back....

FORMER Scotland rugby coach Andy Robinson has been appointed as Bristol's new director of rugby.
The Championship club announced today that 48-year-old Robinson will start work on March 1.
Robinson, who also coached England, watched Bristol beat Rotherham at the Memorial Stadium yesterday, with the West Country club remaining on course to make this season's promotion play-offs.
He resigned as Scotland boss following a dismal autumn series earlier this season that culminated in a defeat against Tonga after losses to New Zealand and South Africa.
But Bristol chairman Chris Booy has been in discussion with the ex-Bath and England flanker for several weeks, culminating in today's announcement.
Robinson was a member of England's coaching staff under Sir Clive Woodward during the successful 2003 World Cup campaign, and then succeeded Woodward in the top job between 2004 and 2006.
He has also coached Bath and Edinburgh, leading Bath to the 1998 Heineken Cup final, when they beat Brive in Bordeaux to be crowned European champions.
"I am delighted to be joining Bristol Rugby at such an exciting time for the club," Robinson said.
"I firmly believe that with the passion for rugby in the region and the vision of the owners, Bristol has the potential to be one of the most successful sides in England.
"I am looking forward to building a squad with a blend of experience and young, home-grown talent, to play an exciting and winning brand of rugby.
"Our immediate objective is to achieve promotion back to the Aviva Premiership as soon as possible."
Bristol have confirmed that Liam Middleton will continue as head coach, while recent news signings for next season include Gloucester flanker Peter Buxton, Northampton lock Mark Sorenson and Worcester full-back Errie Claassens.
Bristol, who are backed by Guernsey-based millionaire Steve Lansdown, are looking to regain Premiership status next season, although Newcastle remain firm Championship title favourites.
Booy said: "Since Steve Lansdown has become involved with the club (during the 2008-09 season) we have been very serious about what where we want to be, but it has been difficult to attract the right players and somebody like Andy.
"This appointment shows that we are serious. We want the best people to do the best jobs, and that is not just director of rugby, but also players.
"Andy's appointment shows that we are going to get there, and there are no more ifs, but it's when.
"We have signed four Premiership players and we have a good squad here, but we need Premiership players. We are talking to another five or six, and we back the investment in players to go along with it.
"We are delighted that Andy is joining us as director of rugby. Liam has done a good job - he has put us in a good place - and he is going to work with Andy. We think that is a winning combination.
"This is a long-term appointment, and Andy's experience speaks for itself.
"He is a world-class coach, an England World Cup and Heineken Cup winner. His credentials are as good as anybody, and we now have one of the best coaches in the world at the club.
"We need to get going quickly because we cannot be in this league any longer than we have to be. Andy's appointment says that we are not going to be here, we are going to get out of this.
"The rugby infrastructure of this city means that we can be one of the great clubs in Europe. We have spent many weeks over the matter before Andy agreed to join us, though he has had a number of other offers."
Bristol recently announced plans to ground-share with Bristol City Football Club, where Lansdown is the majority share-holder, either at Ashton Gate or a new stadium at Ashton Vale.

Enamel Coffee Pot
I had the pleasure of testing the Enamel Coffee Pot pattern from their first set of kitchen related paper piecing patterns.
The pattern instructions are very clear and helpful, and I just love this delightful vintage looking coffee pot! I know many of you are scared by paper piecing, I was too at first, but really with Penny and Kerry's tips and advice you could not be in better hands. So if you are on the fence just go for it, I promise it is fiddly at times but not as difficult as it may seem.
sampler quilt but you could also use the blocks in one of the tutorials on the Sew-Ichigo blog for a tote or a kitchen aid cover.
You can buy the patterns here
