Days after his second loss to Frankie Edgar former lightweight champion BJ Penn claimed that he wanted to fight again as soon as possible, and it seems he's staying true to his word.
"Dana White texted me the last couple of days, and it looks like I'm probably going to be back in the ring in November sometime," Penn says in a new video blog posted on his website.
"Dana's trying to put the fight together, but that's what I know as of right now, so I'll keep you guys posted. This is going to be good."
A November fight appears to place Penn on either the UFC 122 event in Germany on the 13th, or UFC 123 in Michigan on the 20th.
Belfort Vs Okami is already set as the headliner for the German event and the UFC don't tend to stack their free Spike TV cards too often, so UFC 123 looks the more likely destination.
The question now is, who will he face?
Earlier this week it was suggested that George Sotiropoulos could be his opponent, but he's now been penciled in to face Joe Lauzon at the same event.
Old foe Takanori Gomi seemed an obvious choice, but according to a text from Clay Guida yesterday he's getting ready to face someone with, "ALOT of power in his hands," which many have interpreted to mean that it will be he who faces the Japanese KO specialist.
So it's not immediately obvious who he will face. My best guess at this stage would be Nate Diaz who has been impressing recently at welterweight, but is champing at the bit to fight against a major contender at 155lbs.

Almora, Shimla, Kulu, Manali and Araku are some of Indian famous hill stations | Shillong is the most wonderful place and expenses are also very less
No other country in the world has as many hill stations as India got. One type of hill stations in India are the village on the Himalaya Mountains and on the snow hills. Second type are the villages on the hills in other parts of India. Other than these two many know about Kashmir.
Famous hill stations on Himalayan Mountains are Darjeeling in West Bengal, Mussoorie in Uttaranchal, Almora and Shimla, Kulu, Manali in Himachal Pradesh. Dalhousie in Himachal Pradesh is more beautiful than Shimla and Manali as a summer retreat. Gangtak, capital city of Sikkim is also a wonderful place.
Down south, Ooty, Kodaikanal in Tamilnadu are very famous. But Ooty has lost its charm. Munnar in Kerala state is also can be visited.
Araku valley in Andhra Pradesh should be considered as a picnic spot rather than a hill station. Mahabaleshwar in Maharashtra enthralls the tourist with nature's boundless beauty. This is also the birth place of River Krishna. Another wonderful place is Mount Abu which is situated at the borders of Rajasthan and Gujarat. Of all these one of the most wonderful place is Shillong, the capital city of Meghalaya. Depending on the opportunity and interest the tourists can visit other beautiful places in Khasi Garo hills which are situated around Shillong. Expenses at Shillong are less when compared to other places like Shimla and Manali.

See the Housewives Chicest Winter Wardrobes
From the ski slopes to Vicki's Winter Wonderland party, the ladies still look hot when the temps drop.
Whether they're hitting the slopes or hitting the chilly streets of New York, our stars of the Real Housewives know how to dress for the winter season—even the ladies in the warmer climes of the OC and Beverly Hills show sartorial flair for the coldest months of the year.
Now that winter is in full swing, we're taking a look back at all the fashionable looks they've flaunted over the years. We've noticed one familiar trend among all our Housewives stars: even when it comes to sporty outings like skiing, they're never ones to compromise their style (especially Lisa Vanderpump).
Click here to launch our gallery, the Chicest Housewives Winter Wardrobes.
Our winter wardrobe retrospective is coming at another perfect time: the 2014 Winter Olympics, which kick off February 6 on NBC. The competing skiiers may want to take a page from the stars of the RHOC and RHOBH, who showed off their stylish (and functional) wardrobes when they hit the slopes for their epic vacations.
Which Housewife do you think has the best winter wardrobe? Tell us in the comments.

"Come and see" (John 1:39)
Those seeking a deeper relationship with Christ through membership in the Roman Catholic Church are guided through the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) process. This year-round process always welcomes new participants: those who are unbaptized; those baptized Catholic, but uncatechized, never having celebrated First Communion and Confirmation; and those baptized in another Christian tradition. Fully intiated Catholics are always needed to serve as sponsers for those interested in becoming Catholic.

A round-up of news on drug resistance and other topics in global health.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issues a strong statement about the linkages between animal antibiotic use and antibiotic resistance, and urges the agricultural industry to voluntarily comply with guidelines to use antimicrobials only for medically necessary purposes (i.e. not for growth promotion). The New York Times describes the announcement and reactions from the stewardship community.
Aaron Carroll at The Incidental Economist is skeptical that a recent, widely hyped set of recommendations, including a recommendation against antibiotics for sinus infections, will actually impact physician behavior.
A New York Times opinion piece discusses the origins of pink slime in U.S. factory farmed-beef, looking at the connection between farming practices and E. coli.
Health and Human Services proposes a one-year delay in implementing the ICD-10 coding system, which increases the number of billing codes from 18,000 to 140,000. A Wonkblog post examines the tradeoffs for increased specificity in administrative coding.
A study in Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology finds robotic drug dispensers contaminated with resistant bacteria.
Research in BMC-Infectious Diseases explains a third category of healthcare-associated bloodstream infections, distinct from hospital acquired and community acquired infections.
Bacteria in a 4-million year old cave show resistance to natural and synthetic antibiotics. The study was published in PLoS ONE.
A retrospective study of drug-resistant E. coli in the U.S. from 1950 to 2002 finds significant increases in resistance levels in both humans and food animals.
An editorial in BMJ suggests that public-private partnerships could be the future of antibiotic drug development.
Researchers look at how to better target vaccines for population subgroups.
A Vital Signs report finds that 94% of Clostridium difficile infections were associated with receiving healthcare.
In India, the Union Health Ministry sets specific timeframes to keep animals and fish off antibiotics before they enter the human food chain.

Which of the following are correct?
- Will let you know in the afternoon.
- Will let you know afternoon.
- Will let you know after noon.
Stack Exchange network consists of 175 Q&A communities including Stack Overflow, the largest, most trusted online community for developers to learn, share their knowledge, and build their careers.Visit Stack Exchange
Which of the following are correct?
It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Will let you know in the afternoon.
This sentence is correct. The definite article defines which afternoon you're talking about, therefore there's nothing missing.
Will let you know afternoon.
Here the definition of which afternoon you have in mind is missing. Possible ways of correcting the sentence:
Will let you know [ this / tomorrow / next / Saturday ] afternoon.
And finally:
Will let you know after noon.
This sentence is technically correct, but the meaning is different. Afternoon is defined as the time from noon (12:00) to 18:00, whereas when you say after noon, you imply right after noon = right after 12:00. The time is limited closely to after 12:00. Similar to as when you say:
I will do this after lunch.
Here you say that after you finish eating your lunch, you will go on doing the promised thing. The same would apply to "after noon."
1 & 3 are acceptable.
2 is incorrect because afternoon is not the object of the verb "know". For it to be grammatically correct, the meaning would have to be "I will teach you what afternoon is like." Therefore you need a preposition to specify the relationship between afternoon and the rest of the sentence.
Number two is incorrect.
Another common correct alternative is "this afternoon".

Sharing the Treasure of Faith
Evangelization is the PRIMARY Mission of the Church! People all around us NEED God and we are the ones who can share the good news by both our actions and our words.
The Evangelization Team of St. Laurence was formed in 2012. Our mission is to encourage and equip all parishioners to take advantage of opportunities to share the treasure of our faith, and to invite seekers to explore the Catholic faith in our church community.
are available to encourage and equip parishioners to share their faith more effectively.
Inspirational books and CDs
are valuable for all of us to continue to grow in and strengthen our faith. We offer free resources to parishioners at Hospitality Sunday tables.
Street Evangelization
We are excited! We now have an official St. Laurence Street Evangelization Team! We are currently doing an online training with
St. Paul Street Evangelization
We began in May to bring information about the Catholic faith to our larger Sugar Land community, by going out to the Sugar Land city parks on Saturdays. Interested in hearing more? Perhaps joining us? See the flyer posted under documents on the right side of the page.
Please contact Marta Alves (
) if you would like to attend our meetings.
Please pray that we will all grow in our ability to share our faith! See the right side of this page for a suggested prayer.
Sharing the Treasure of Our Faith: 30 min presentation.
This PowerPoint presentation reminds us of our call to evangelize, and presents concrete steps to do so more effectively. Parishioners are encouraged to be "visibly Christian", as well as to be prepared to share their faith explicitly. The importance of good listening is stressed, and responses to various comments that may come up are considered. People are encouraged to be ready to answer questions such as "Why are you Catholic?" and to prepare their personal faith story to share. A handout to help you to do that is posted on the right side of this web page. When someone does seem interested in the faith, the evangelizer should be ready to invite them to take another step – to read something about the faith, or to accompany the evangelizer to Mass.
To arrange for a presentation
for your ministry group or any group, please contact Marie McCoy at
or 281-265-7749.
Sharing the Treasure of Our Faith: 3 Session Class
This class covers the same main points as the 30 minute presentation, in 3 sessions of approximately 90 minutes each. The additional time allows for a short video, discussion of evangelization opportunities and stories, small group discussions, sharing of faith stories, and role plays of evangelizing situations.
Inspirational books and CDs
Catholic authors and speakers can inspire all of us to deepen and strengthen our faith. Listening to a CD in the car or reading a conversion story are easy ways to ensure that we all continue to grow closer to Jesus. Many resources are available at low cost at
, and from
. Some of our favorites are:
CDs: Seven Pillars of Catholicism - Matthew Kelly, at Dynamic Catholic
The Healing Power of Confession - Scott Hahn, at Lighthouse Media (also in Spanish)
Raising Amazing Children - Matthew Kelly, at Dynamic Catholic
The Hidden Power of Forgiveness by Jeff Cavins at Lighthouse Media
Books: Rome Sweet Home by Scott and Kimberly Hahn, at Lighthouse Media (also in Spanish)
Ordinary Lives, Extraordinary Mission, by John R. Wood at Dynamic Catholic
Rediscover Catholicism by Matthew Kelly at Dynamic Catholic (also in Spanish)
Confessions of a Mega Church Pastor by Allen Hunt at Dynamic Catholic (also in Spanish)
Street Evangelization
: St. Paul Street Evangelization provides training and materials to take our faith out to the community in a non-confrontational way. We don't knock on doors, but simply staff a table with information and free rosaries. A small sandwich-board sign declares "Catholic Truth / Have Questions? / Free Literature / Need Prayer? / Find True Joy" As people choose to converse with us, we can gently invite them to connect – or re-connect – with the Catholic Church and with our Lord.

St. Paul Street Evangelization

Art has always been a huge part of my life from before I can remember. After graduating from highschool I hightailed it to the big city of Toronto (I grew up 5 km down a dirt road in the middle of nowhere) to pursue art at Ontario College of Art and Design. Unfortunately, for a myriad of reasons, art school did not work out for me and I moved back home with my parents. While there, I was, understandably, incredibly bored. My father, a retired police man with a dream to spend his days creating wood carvings, noticed my boredom and suggested I try wood-burning. And just like that, an addiction was created. I spent those months at home wood-burning, and then when I moved to Ottawa to be with my boyfriend (now husband) and go to school, I wood-burned. Now, over a decade later I'm still wood-burning and loving every moment of it.
After my wedding, my husband and I moved to Kingston; a smaller city that was much more to my liking. There I set out to sell my work. I joined an artist co'op and sold my work at local art shows, and the weekly market in Springer Square. I loved it! Talking to the patrons and fellow artists; the satisfaction of seeing a person fall in love with something I had created; all of it just had me hooked.
After that wonderful summer of art shows and market days my husband and I discovered I was pregnant. The excitement! The joy! The stress!! While thinking about raising our little bundle of squirming joy, we realized our small, run-down apartment in downtown Kingston was just not up to the task of housing something so fragile and new. My father had recently passed away which left my mother alone in our big family home out in the country. It seemed perfect. What better place to raise our child then in the house where I grew up in my beloved backwoods country? It was then I discovered where I truly belonged, not in the city, but in the country. We liked it so much in the woods we decided to have our second child there and lived in that home with my mom for four years.
And then we found our own home. Nestled away in Verona (about half an hour from Kingston), it's close to the village, surrounded by marshland, lakes, and rock, and is blessedly quiet. Here we have lived for going on three years. Now my youngest is starting school, and I'm finding, for the first time in six years, that I will actually have some free time! And so, I am now picking up where I left off all those years ago, to continue my dream of wood-burning and creating.
About my woodburnings
Throughout most of my work I've found myself exploring the relationship between humanity and nature. Whether my medium be with paint on canvas, or burned into wood, I continue to revisit the theme of spiritual connection that unites us to the trees, the plants, and the animals. I enjoy this play of human emotion closely tied up with the simplicity of the natural world; the two concepts seemingly separate, but at the same time, dependent on one another.
Nature has always been a constant source of inspiration for me. When at a loss of what to draw I find myself sketching out trees and flowers, discovering faces and figures peering back at me through the rough bark and tangled vines of vegetation. Who these beings are, whether they're the spirits that reside in nature, or ourselves mirrored in the bark and leaves, I don't know. I do know that when I set my wood-burner to the wood or my brush to canvas I feel that connection between humanity and nature grow into one; co-existing, not as two ideas side by side, but as a single entity united.

Connecticut's local music scene is an eclectic mix of every genre you can think of, and probably quite a few you have never heard of, until now. If you're looking to hear some great original music you don't need to head to Boston or NYC, there are plenty of amazing bands right here in Connecticut.
Don't let their ages fool you; The McLovins know how to jam. Named after the character in the movie Superbad, they burst onto the scene thanks to a YouTube video of live performance of Phish's You Enjoy Myself. A technically challenging piece for any mature musician, the then 15 year olds pulled it off sounding like seasoned pros. This led to gigs ranging from shows at Hartford's Black Eyed Sally's to high profile shows like The Nateva Music Festival in Oxford, ME and The Gathering Of The Vibes Music Festival in Bridgeport, CT. The band has even been featured in Rolling Stone Magazine. Not bad for high school students.
Catch Them At: Black Eyed Sally's, Main Pub
Indie rockers Columbia Fields have been a Connecticut favorite for years. They've been voted Best Indie Band for the last three years in The Hartford Advocate. Currently working on their third album, Columbia Fields has graced the stage of almost every major venue in Connecticut. Last year the band won a contest to open for Bon Jovi at Mohegan Sun.
Catch Them At: Black Eyed Sally's, Hanafin's Irish Pub, Sully's Pub
Something of a Connecticut super-group, Kung Fu is an improvisational jazz/funk/fusion/rock band comprised of former members of The Breakfast, Deep Banana Blackout and Jazz Is Dead. The combined talent of this band is something that you need to see to believe. The lightning fast guitar solos of Tim Palmieri mix seamlessly with the bombastic horns and percussion. his is a band that will simultaneously have you dancing and scratching your head.
Catch Them At: The Gathering of Vibes Festival, Oakdale Theatre,
An alternative hip-hop band, these guys mix elements of rock, funk, metal and hip-hop to create something both artistic and moving. The band's lyricist Ollie Twist sounds like the love child of Everlast and Zack de la Rocha. Based out of Manchester, CT the group has blown up stages from The Main Pub in Manchester to Sully's in Hartford.
Catch Them At: Sully's Pub, Main Pub
This blues/rock trio has been playing in Connecticut for well over a decade. They've released four albums since 1999 and have played shows all over the Northeast and even in the UK. They've shared the stage with big name acts like Steppenwolf, The Black Crowes and The Allman Brothers. Showing no signs of slowing down they're spending the summer of 2011 playing festivals throughout Connecticut.
Catch Them At: Hammer Down Café, Black Eyed Sally's
John Dotson is a writer, musician and Connecticut native. He currently runs www.ctmamusic.com

Quilting the Countryside!
Welcome to the picturesque hills and valleys surrounding Caledonia to enjoy the barn quilts that adorn the landscape of Houston County, Minnesota. What began as a creative barn improvement project for a local family has evolved into an ever-growing series of art displays in the form of barn quilts. The project promotes the importance of barns, the historical significance of quilting, and the artistic talents of local residents. In 2008 Caledonia was proclaimed "The Heart of Quilt Country" by the Minnesota State Legislature. About 60 barns now grace this countryside with beautifully painted quilts whose patterns and colors celebrate historical American quilt patterns and our agricultural heritage. See the VISITOR RESOURCES tab (LINK to the DOWNLOADS on Visitor Resources) for maps and self-guided tour routes . Barn Quilt Map Brochures are available at local businesses, the Houston County Historical Society museum, the Caledonia Area Chamber of Commerce office or City Hall.
This PBS show includes a segment on Caledonia's Barn Quilts: (segment begins at 11:28)

Indiana County Sheriff's Department holds Awareness & Safety for Seniors program
Destiny Pifer
Monday, April 4, 2016
In light of the news of recent scams that appear to be targeting the elderly, the Indiana County Sheriff's Department recently held an Awareness and Safety for Seniors program at the Mahoning Hills Social Center. The program was conducted by Indiana County Sheriff Bob Fyock, who brought along his K9 deputy Bak.
The purpose of the program was to alert seniors to the recent scams that have been circulating various areas, with the main targets being the elderly. Other topics discussed included identity theft and home invasions.
Read the full story in Tuesday's print edition of The Spirit.

ROY Hodgson is still unsure whether Saturday's game against Chelsea will come too soon for winger Chris Brunt.
The captain has not played since breaking his foot in the New Year's Day fixture against Everton.
He has been training during the last week but Hodgson will assess Brunt's fitness when the players return to training tomorrow and once Jerome Thomas' fitness has been evaluated.
Thomas was forced off in the 4-0 thrashing of Sunderland after suffering a hamstring strain.
Hodgson will make his decisions later in the week.
"Jerome Thomas has a slight hamstring injury but nothing too serious," said Hodgson.
"Again, he's making a good recovery and we will see how things are. Chris has trained since last Thursday but it's too early to tell whether he will be ready.
"He's technically fit. It's down to match fitness – will he have the energy and stamina to go into a game of this level?
"That's the question we need an answer to if Thomas doesn't make it and that isn't by any means a given."

Anyone (Jollyjack) can comment on the rumours I am hearing that sea time for the junior tickets will not be recognized, unless it is time in "charge of the watch" - EEOW ? Transport Canada is reportedly enforcing this starting in July this year.
As we all know, a fourth or third on a large ship is rarely in charge of a watch, and therefore this would create a pretty severe road block for seatime acquisition. What is the purpose of this rule. Why has it come to being.
From where I stand, this makes not much sense.

We specialize in pre-WWII typewriters, accessories & memorabilia. Buy ribbons from folks that know typewriters.
You love antiques and there's nothing you like better than typing on your old manual Adler Typewriter.
This is a brand new red & black typewriter ribbon that will fit a Adler Tippa 1/Elite S. It comes with 2 plastic spools. The ribbon is 1/2 inch wide. Please make sure your model is listed to avoid disappointment. Model not listed? Email us and we will try to accommodate.
Buy yourself a new Adler ribbon today!
Why buy a Nylon ribbon?
If you do a lot of typing, our nylon ribbons with medium inking are the best type of ribbon for you to use. Cotton ribbons and cheap plastic ribbon hold too much ink. If you're using standard type styles, often the strike-heads of lower case letters like e-a-o-w-p-q will soon become so filled up with ink that the letter will be unrecognizable when it imprints on the page.
Which models does this ribbon fit?
* Adler Tippa 1
* Adler Elite S
Ribbon material: nylon
Ribbon color: red & black
Spool diameter: 2 1/8 inches
Spool material: Plastic
Ribbon width: 1/2 inch

Operation Gladio, Italy
The history of the secret neo-fascist army in Italy set up ostensibly to resist Soviet invasion, but in reality to be used in the event of the working class growing too strong once again
Following the end of World War II, the Italian workers' movement was rapidly gaining strength. In some towns the fascists had been kicked out by Resistance forces (as before the war, these were usually led by socialists and anarchists), and embryonic workers' councils were governing. The Communist Party in particular won mass support for its involvement in this movement.
When Allied forces swept across the country, destroying this fledging power of ordinary people was next on the agenda after finishing Mussolini's regime.
When the liberal Italian state was reconstructed, mechanisms were put in place to make sure that workers did not take power. In addition to the already-existing powerful secret society, P2 which was heavily involved in the anti-working class Strategy of Tension in the 1960s and 70s the covert and yet official organisation 'Gladio' ('sword' – its logo is pictured, above) was set up.

Trump's battle with intelligence
Trump's election has been an unmitigated success for Putin's Russia
It's Friday morning. You're the president elect of the United States, with less than two weeks to go before your feet are under the Oval Office desk. Even your Republican counterparts on Capitol Hill concede that when it comes to foreign policy, intelligence gathering and espionage 'you don't know what you don't know.'

Craft a day
The felt dolls also were a great craft to do. I clearly got into them more than Lucy did! I need to order some nice felt on-line but in the meantime, I bought some from Jo-Ann's - a mix of rayon and wool but they still worked. The yarn pieces are from my yarn-bits stash. Lucy proudly shows our visitors her creative work.
We made cookies on New Years. The cookie cutters were mine from childhood. They're really fun to use since they imprint an image on the cookie. It brings back a lot memories for me.
Today I think we might try marshmallows. A few others have made them here and here. I'm going to use this recipe.
Oh, and I made a skirt for Lucy yesterday - she helped so that was our craft for the day. I'm not sure how long I can keep this up but it certainly has been fun.

Here are just a few Christmas pictures:
The holiday stockings I made for everyone. My first attempts at machine applique. Lucy's was the first and the most rudimentary. By the time I got to Mitch's I got better. Sorry Harper. I used "Cool Girls Quilt" by Linda Lum DeBono for guidance on the applique part.
I love this pink tree. It's actually a Barbie tree I picked up a few years ago at Michael's. The ornaments are a mix of vintage, Martha Stewart Kmart, and Urban Outfitters. And of course, the "skirt" is Heather Bailey.
Can you find the pickle?
Lucy making Holiday cookies with her Uncle Harper. The cookie recipe is from our preschool - we've been making the same cookies for 32 years!
Lucy loves her Fisher Price Digital Camera. It was her last gift on the eighth night of Hanukkah and has been a huge hit. She's actually pretty good at it. I'll post some of Lucy's pics next week.
As for me, I got exactly what I wanted: a 24 Watt Ott Lite. I left the flier with huge arrows in red ink on Mitch's desk and kindly reminded him almost daily. I was a bit disappointed on Christmas Day as it wasn't under the tree but when we got home, there it was on the stairs in all its loveliness waiting for me. It's wonderful. I don't know how I ever functioned with out it!
And Santa (me) got me two other books: How to Make Books by Esther Smith and Tricia Guild Pattern. Both are fabulous and make me dream of greater, prettier, craftier things....

This bag is a kit at the shop:
This bag was a gift for one of Lucy's friends:
Here's a picture of Stash and Dash bags I made for Mitchell's grandmother:
Sunday, December 16, 2007
I love this picture. I don't do too much matchy-matchy stuff but I couldn't resist buying Lucy and her cousin, Morgan, these very cute winter pajamas. Lucy was so excited to see Morgan in the same pj's! Morgan adores Lucy and will go anywhere, do anything Lucy wants and Lucy is happy to have her cousin tag along. It makes me so happy that she loves her cousin and that she wants to see her. Sometimes Lucy will look at a picture of Morgan and quietly say "I miss my cousin Morgan." It melts my heart.
Back to writing thank-you notes from my birthday!
Oh, and check out angry chicken for some really kicky holiday gift tags. I think that you could actually use them all thru the year....

Gettin' Busy
Now, I'm sewing up a storm! I committed myself to sewing most of our holiday gifts so everyday is planned around my rotary cutter, sewing machine and iron! Plus my friends keep having babies who need warm blankets for the winter! BTW, if you just had a baby or if you are about to have a baby shower (you know who you are!) don't look at the next picture!! I love making these receiving blankets and burp clothes. Plus the onesies are so easy and fun, especially if you use Lite Steam-a-Seam. That stuff is fantastic; once the applique is applied, you just do a decorative stitch around the edge for effect and it's done! So easy and well worth the effort. Isn't this fabric great? I should have bought more....
My machine is calling. I promise a pic of my other Amy Butler bag soon!

36 pink years
Then I was off to lunch with my friend Amy while Mitch took Lucy and her friend Lauren to the NJ Aquarium. He survived though he appeared a bit shell-shocked when he came home this evening. While the girls and Mitch were looking at fish, we got manicures and pedicures using the nail polish that my brother and sister-in-law sent me for my birthday.
Which brings me to the real reason for this post. I have the BEST brother and sister-in-law. I'm not exaggerating. They both totally understand my bizarrely high-expectations for my birthday and always rise to the occasion. Yesterday a box arrived from Fed Ex for me. I tried not to open the box most of the day but after dinner I just couldn't wait. So, I opened the box with the intention of leaving the actual gift untouched until the morning (today). Well, I opened it and found this:
Now, with all that lovely vintage wrapping paper, honestly how could I not open the box?! So, I thought I would just open the card:
Well, that was that. Lucy and I started opening the gifts. Harper and Vicky had collected 36 pink gifts for my birthday ranging from girly to sporty. Plus Harper, the mathematician in the family, included some trivia about the number 36. Apparently it's quite a lucky number: 6 x 6 is a perfect square, 9 x 4 is a product of a perfect square, plus a few other things that went over my head about prime numbers. And in each generation there are supposedly 36 leaders who maintain the status of the world! Wow, sounds like a great number - hopefully that means better things are on the way!
Oh, the 36 pink gifts were: 3 chocolates, 6 pink nail polishes, 6 lip glosses (I love lip gloss), 6 socks (three pair), 9 tennis balls (for my fledgling attempt to be a tennis player), 3 wraps for my tennis racket, one headband, and 2 sweat bands. What a treat indeed.
Plus, Mitch and Lucy gave me gorgeous pink bling earrings and breakfast in bed. And at the end of the day, we had my favorite pink chocolate cake (my mother has used the same recipe forever) with our neighbors. So far, my 36th year is off to a great pink start.

The owner of the shop, Jan, put Stitchettes Numbers one and two in my employee mailbox the other day. I have looked at them multiple times on the Wee Wonderfuls site and have been tempted to purchase them. Thanks Jan for sharing these with me! It made my day! Now, I just need to pick out some fabric to get stitching....You can see what other crafters have done with the patterns here.
They come in cream-colored envelopes with a darling sticker on the front
and then when you open them, such lovely images appear!
Hillary Lang, the designer of these fabulous little things, also has a very cute elephant pattern (peanut, the weel elephant) in Joelle Hoverson's latest book Last-Minute Patchwork and Quilted Gifts. I wasn't sure what I thought of this book at first but the more I look at it, the more I like it. The pictures are fantastic and the designs are just very current and approachable. The elephant is one of the cutest projects in the book.
It's getting cold and we're feeling the urge to do cold-weather activities! Lucy and Mitch just mixed-up our homemade hot chocolate mix. It makes a ton of hot chocolate - enough to last an entire winter for sure. The recipe comes from my Aunt Debbie. I've been drinking it for years and can personally attest to how yummy it is - here's the recipe:
8 quarts powdered milk
16 oz Nestle quick
1 cup coffee mate
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup Ovaltine
Mix it all together in a big bowl, store in large glass or plastic containers like these. To make hot chocolate, fill mug halfway with mix, add hot water, stir, add mini-marshmallows and enjoy.

I'm a winner!
My grandmother's funeral is tomorrow. For some reason, my father decided to have her estate sale the same weekend so I went to her house last night and actually had to buy some of the items that meant so much to me. She had remarkable taste. Her furniture is very "in" these days but I love it because it really captures her spirit for life. I'll post pictures of my purchases later. I know that it's crazy and innapropriate to have to buy belongings of my grandmother's the same weekend as her funeral, but otherwise my brother and I would never have this opportunity again. It's really sad what families do to each other in times of crisis.
Dorothy's obituary is here.
Thanks for your kind words. I look forward to returning home and getting back to sewing, knitting, and being with my friends and family.

Stash and Dash Bags
Just a quick post before I head to OKC.
I made these out of the leftover fabric from the Weekender Bag. They're not hard but do require a bit of practice. I love that the lining is sewn in by machine and not by hand plus the little pleats at the bottom add just enough charm, don't you think? Anyway, the picture here doesn't do them justice - I think I was just looking for an excuse to have the gumdrop pillow from the shop on my blog! ha ha!
I'm off to OKC with Miss Lucy Rose. It will be a sad trip but I hope that as a family we can focus on celebrating Dorothy's life and all that she accomplished.

Life of the Party
This picture doesn't really match this blog entry but I just couldn't help posting another cute photo of Lucy. My mother made her that had to match her birthday dress. When my mom was a little girl, her grandmother would send her a birthday dress each year complete with underwear, stockings, shoes and a hat. Now, she wants to continue that tradition with Lucy so she picked out this dress on our last trip to Oklahoma and then took the dress to the yarn store and picked out the colors. What a cute outfit! And Lucy loves the dress - she knows that it is something special.
I found out this afternoon that my paternal grandmother, Dorothy, had died. It's hard for me to believe that she is no longer with us. She was such a force, a pioneer in her time. She worked in the oil business and over time, invested in wells, making trips out to the fields with the men, wearing her hard hat. She never let us call her "grandma" just Dorothy. She wore bright colors, short skirts and fabulous strappy heels in a size 6! She was a voracious reader and could debate you on an issue from either vantage point. She believed in the power of women and the ability of any one to do what they wanted if they set their mind to it. She encouraged me in everything that I did. I wish that Lucy could have known her more. Dorothy was the life of the party; she could talk to anyone about anything and make them feel like she thought the world of them.
Dorothy entertained a lot! She had her bridge group, her executive secretary group, her book club. But man, could she throw a fantastic party. This is what she suggested that I always have on hand for an spontaneous fete:
Hershey's kisses
M and M's
Bridge Mix
Salsa with a can of black-eyed peas mixed together
and of course,
some good quality mixers.
There you have it. I'll miss you Dorothy. I'll do my best to teach Lucy what you taught me: to respect others, educate yourself, and never underestimate the power of a woman.
Lucy in Action
I love this photo - it was taken a few weeks ago with my new camera. Mitch bought it for me as an early birthday present (November 15th btw) but of course, he used it before I could and snapped this photo at the Princeton Battlefield Park. It perfectly captures the spirit of Lucy Rose. My neighbor described her as a ball in a ping-pong ball game which I think pretty much sums her up!
I finished my Frenchy Bag yesterday and will post a pic soon. Tomorrow I'm off to deal with the family stuff and then I'll be back ready to sew the winter blues away....

Disco Princess WItch
Lucy wanted to be a princess witch for Halloween. I bought this fabric last year on clearance and thought it would be perfect. Initially I was going to do a very intricate princess costume but I quickly thought better of it and made a simple sheath dress instead, covering in pink tulle. I then made a cape with the tulle and a collar from the dress fabric. I wanted to make a hat to match but Lucy preferred the one from last year so I made her a sassy disco witch treat bag instead (I'll post a pic later.) Lucy wouldn't try it on until Halloween so thank goodness it fit!! The only trick was the set-in sleeves. I need more practice for sure! And, I promised myself that I will never ever work with rayon fabric again!!
And the blue eyeshadow - well Lucy loves to put on makeup with me so I let her indulge in the electric blue eyeshadow and some pink face powder. I know it's a bit over-the-top but hey, it's Halloween!

Amy Butler Weekender Bag.
Yeah! At long last a new post. I wish I could write more about what is going on with me. Lots of family stuff that's really difficult and taking most of my energy these days. Thank goodness for my husband, daughter and Pfaff sewing machine. Ha Ha!
I loved making this bag. I started the project as an intermediate sewer and I think ending as advanced!! Seriously, it pushed my limits but wow was it worth it. Sadly for me, it's at the shop as a sample so I have to wait for the kits to sell-out before I can take it home. I'm planning to teach a class on it next February. I also made Amy's Stash and Dash bags. Great results but also takes some practice to get the zipper to look lovely.
All in all, things are well. I'm busy on yet another Amy Butler project, the Frenchy Bag. After this, I'm going to make a quilt with lots of lovely cheery fabric, though Amy's new Sophia Carry-All has my attention!
Winter is coming, the days are getting shorter and my sewing room is just looking so cozy. I've vowed to make all my Holiday gifts this year so I better put the pedal to the carpet and get sewing. Plus, there are babies gestating who will need warm receiving blankets and new mom's who need pretty tote bags. And then there are all those kind souls who are helping me with my life right now. Maybe just some pretty coasters out of my favorite Kaffe fabric
More later about Lucy and her fabulous Halloween adventures. This child is a pro at trick or treats!

I'm back
I am hard at work on my Amy Butler Weekender bag. It's really not that difficult but just time consuming. The fabrics are lovely but I can only post pics after it's complete - that's the promise I made to myself.
Still working on some Christmas projects for the store. Gotta get those done soon or I'm going to be in the doghouse!!

Stitching away
Now, I am working on the Amy Butler Weekender bag. I cut out all the fabric last week and plan to make the cording this week. My plan is to pack the whole thing up and take it to Maine with me where my mom and I can work on it together. Mitch tells me that's just silly - I'm going to be too busy driving around the fabric and knitting stores to have anytime to sew. He's probably right but I'm hopefull.
Here's a photo of Lucy and Mitch at her friend's birthday party. I love that they are color-coordinated!

Very Cool Bike
So I recently decided that it was time for me to start taking better care of myself. I've started swimming and I'm taking tennis lessons (I've got a lot to learn) but I also thought it would be nice to get active as a family. Biking seemed like a reasonable activity for all of us, especially since I can't stand running! I gave my old mountain bike to my sister-in-law, mainly b/c it wasn't comfortable for me and it seemed to be a great fit for her. Anyway, I wanted an Electra Cruiser but it just didn't have enough gears for the kind of riding I envision us doing so I chose the Electra Townie instead. Of course, I couldn't have just any color, I had to have the special cranberry pink with fenders. I love it! Lucy loves it! Plus I think that I might actually use it and that will be a very good thing.
Lots of sewing projects coming down the pike to keep me busy. More on those later.

Holiday mini-ornaments
At last, pictures of my mini-ornaments. I really need to get back to work on these! I only have two more to make and then I can quilt them, bind and finish with a ribbon. I think that the fabrics turned out great! The fabric is from Red Rooster. We're going to sell the pattern and fabric as kits at the shop. Each kit will have 10 fat eighths in them along with the pattern from Cindi Edgerton. Her tissue foundations are fantastic and her directions are very helpful as well. I do enjoy making these but it takes a certain amount of patience and attention to work on such a small scale. They fnish at just over 3 inches with the binding.
I started a skirt for Lucy today out of Denise Schmidt's last line of fabrics. Lucy picked out the fabric herself and specifically wants a skirt so that she can "spin around." I think it will be a quick project once I get all the pieces cut out.
Then again, I do need to work on those ornaments....

Dirty Little Secret Bag
Ok, so here's just one little bag I've made. The others can be seen on flickr. I've made 3 of these so far but I have many more to go! I'm just having fun cutting into this fabric- I've been hoarding it for months, well maybe 2 years. Anyway, they're fun, quick and easy.
I've been making these for my friends who helped me out over the last few months. I have one friend who is a Mormom and is addicted to Dr. Pepper. I gave her one before her trip to Utah to hide her soda. My other friend loves chick-lit (think "The Manny") - I figure she can hide her books too.
I'm working on a bag for a friend of mine using Amy Butler fabrics from a few collections ago. I've decided that there's no reason to hang onto these fabric forever. I mean, Amy's fabric collection this season was fantastic. What I'm trying to say is that there's always more fabric....

bag making
But, the upside is that I've been sewing out of my stsh. Just handbags but still it keeps me busy. I have a project for the shop that I need to work on but I can't concentrate on it. Hopefully I'll get back to it next week.
I promise to post photos this weekend of all my bags and foundation piecing projects. Oh, and I tried out the Clover yo-yo maker and I have to give it a big thumbs-up! What else? Hmmm - I did buy some doll patterns to make Lucy's babies some clothes. I thought I'd also make Lucy some coordinating outfits. And, I received my pattern from Disdressed for the "A day in the Park Backpack Tote." I'll get to that soon!
Now if I could just find some time....

Angry Chicken Mailorder #7
I'm going to post just one more photo. The rest you can see on flickr. I got my Mailorder packet in the mail a few weeks ago and just in time!! I volunteered to make mini (3") foundation paper-pieced ornaments for the shop. Thank goodness for Amy Karol! I was able to get some practice ones in (like this one) and have gone on to make 4 of the mini ornaments. I'll post pics of those later. I have to say that it's a lot of fun and a great way to use up all that stash which means that's more reasons to buy fabric!
BTW, check out Amy's new book: "Bend-the-Rules Sewing." The patterns are simple (maybe a bit too much) but it's great for beginners plus the pictures are inspiring. I love her writing style - you feel like she's sitting at your kitchen table sharing a snack with you! And, she loves color. So many of the sewing books out there seem to be afraid of color; looking at them makes me think of cold, wet, rainy days. Amy's book is cheery, fresh and colorful. The rest is up to you!
Happy stitching!
At last, some new pics!
My card reader stopped working so I haven't been able to add any new photos to my flickr account. Plus, life's been hectic. We just did a round of IVF and I wound up with an ectopic (tubal) pregnancy - the whole process has been exhausting. The upside is that my creative juices have been flowing. The pictures listed are only a small sample of what I've been doing. Bags, needlepoint, quilts, mini quilted ornaments (with foundation papers).... This list goes on. Thank goodness for all of my needlework. I know that I couldn't get through this process without it!

Lucy going in to arrange her roses
So I know that I haven't posted much in a while - we've been quite busy with traveling and other stuff. I thought that I'd share some cute pics of Lucy Rose with her grandmother cutting roses. I promise to post recent projects soon: Liberty peasant shirt for Lucy, easy quilt out of rainy day prints from Rowan!

Amy Butler apron
I made this apron as a sample for the shop as well as kits. I loved making it and had such a sense of accomplishment! The pattern is incredibly well written and is in Quilts and More. There are lots of options for design - shorter, longer, etc. I made two more and then I kind of burned out....
I made my first skirt two weeks ago and I thought that was really rewarding. I may decide to teach a class on that as well. I used this book.
Still working on the grandmother's flower garden. I lost one hexagon which bummed me out so I had to put it away for a while. I think I can find the fabric that matches and make another one but still I lost momentum.
My machine has been in the shop for a week and I just got it back yesterday. I feel so much better knowing that it's back home.

Fresh 20 Quarters quilt
This quilt was super fast! I used 11 FQs for front and 9 for back. Then I finished it with the pillow-slip method. I know that binding is nicer but really, I don't have that much time. That's for later in life when Lucy is older....
Anyway, I wrote the pattern and now it's free in the shop though I'd be happy to send it to anyone who is interested.

Lucy and Hadley on the sled
Lucy and Hadley had so much fun in the snow! They loved going for rides on the sled as well as digging in the snow. Lucy asked me to buy more snow but (hopefully) we will have to wait a few months!
Grandmother's Flower Garden Kit
Front of flower
This is the front of my first completed flower. I'm in the process of preparing the pieces of the next flower. I love how portable this is!! The kit suggested that I leave the edge paper pieces in until I'm ready to put the flowers together. I'm planning to just do 3 or 4 for the class sample.

Full view of grandmother's flower gardern
Check out this link for info on the kit I bought on ebay. I think that it came in the mail today.
Grandmother's flower garden
In the meantime here are some photos of the one found in my grandmother's closet. The fabric look like 20's and 30's. It's got quite a few stains but I'm waiting 'till Spring to wash it so I can lay it out on the grass. I just love looking at each little hexagon. The side of each one measures 1/2" and is 1" long. Wow.

I love the orange centers!

Back from the flu....
I finished the very cutest apron Wednesday. I used new Amy Butler fabric and moda trim with a pattern out of the Sprin quilts and more. Really fun. Now I'm obsessed and will be making lots of them for a week or two or until I get tired of aprons (doubtful). I'll post pics later - the apron is on display at Pennington Quiltworks.
Customers are taking copies of my quick fat quarters quilt at the shop. It's pretty cute too. I'll take pics of that this weekend and post the pattern next week too.
Lucy needs more motrin....

Everyone's sick
Today convincing Lucy to get dressed was a bit of a chore. When she's not feeling well she either wants to wear cozy pj's or she wants to wear this yellow handknit sweater that was mine as a toddler. She wears it so much I'm not sure if it's going to be in any shape for her babies. It's knit out of acrylic so washes up great. I'm pretty sure that it was knit from the top down. Only seam is on the sleeves. That's my Curious George too.
|From Hand-me-downs
Since I have nothing "new," here's a pic of two recently completed Darcy Ashton bunnies. I so loved doing these but have to admit that I'm too afraid to put them in a quilt knowing how much work went into each. I'm planning on framing them to display in my sewing room, as inspiration....

Diddy Kong, who debuted as Donkey Kong's sidekick in Donkey Kong Country on SNES, is featured in Did You Know Gaming's latest video. The YouTube show takes a deep dive into Diddy's history and how he has evolved over the years.
Originally, Diddy Kong was planned to be a redesigned version of Donkey Kong Jr., but Nintendo eventually asked Rare to make him an entirely new character. The artist behind Diddy Kong's design, Kevin Bayliss, hoped that Diddy would provide a contrast to Donkey Kong. Whereas Donkey Kong is more aggressive and strong-looking, Diddy Kong has a friendlier and more childlike aesthetic.
The video looks at all the games Diddy Kong is featured in, which spans across several console generations including the Nintendo 64 and Wii U. You can watch the video below to find out more interesting details.

BBC Review
Long-term fans of Pollock, and The Delgados, will find their expectations met.
Mike Diver 2010
The Delgados were one of the UK's most consistently excellent bands. The Scottish quartet, of whom singer Emma Pollock was a founding member, released five studio albums, and were Mercury Prize nominated for their fantastic third, The Great Eastern, in 2000. That would prove to be their finest hour, but their other records come just as highly recommended.
Since their split in 2005, Pollock has followed a solo path. Her 2007 debut, Watch the Fireworks, was enjoyable but suffered from recent-memory comparisons to her former group. The Law of Large Numbers – released through Chemikal Underground, the label set up by members of The Delgados and once home to Mogwai and Arab Strap – benefits from further time having passed. It opens in stately fashion, Hug the Piano a solo on the titular instrument. But anyone expecting a wholly delicate affair will be in for a shock when Hug the Harbour follows – clean guitar motifs and precise percussion give the song a military feel, and Pollock's voice sounds sharper than ever. The warmth of her accent remains, but her words cut deeper.
Which is a good thing given the lyrical treats spread across this set – though her first vocal relies heavily on easy rhymes, come the midpoint of this release the ante has received a considerable uplift. House on the Hill is exquisite, a song of amour going awry as the object of one's affection finds the arms of another: "I wish that I could have it all again," Pollock sighs, "but now it's too late for me". In her voice there's real ache, and the silencing of the music around her on the chorus emphasises this longing.
At the opposite end of the sonic spectrum is Red Orange Green, which features edgier, focused instrumentation; it's more post-punk than orchestral pop. Here, Pollock's on the attack, despite initial promises of protection. "I get the feeling that there's more going on here," she supposes, as trust turns to doubt and the song layers on stabbing piano keys and metronomic percussion.
While sentimental on occasion, and certainly possessed by a lovelorn spirit that should connect with all but the hardest of hearts, The Law of Large Numbers never comes across cloyingly, its content ably handled and expressed with the same cliché-free purity The Delgados mastered. Not that this will surprise long-term Pollock fans, whose high expectations will surely be met here.

Feeling pretty good this morning. I've been trying to get this extra weight off and making it half way through feels amazing. I have lost 15lbs! I feel like I can make it to the end! I've never lost this much weight before. It has taken a long time but initially I wasn't as strict about it. Since last 2 - 2.5 months I have been more focused on weight loss and am seeing great results. Hopefully the next 15 will go faster. Here's what I'm doing that is working. I will write it here so if I get back to being unmotivated or start gaining, I have a record of what works for me.
- No sugar or artificial sweeteners. This means no soda of any kind, no sweetener in tea, no desserts except occasional treat. Occasional drinks are ok too.
- Green tea 3 times a day.
- Reduced intake of wheat products. This includes pasta, pizza, breads, etc. I initially made whole wheat substitutions for refined flour but found it still makes me bloated and hang on to the weight. As long as I reduce it to once a day, I see some results.
- More protein. This is a big one for me as I tend to go back to my vegetarian lifestyle automatically. I started eating chicken last year. It fills me up and is a good source of protein. I just need to be consistent with it.
- Portion size. I can eat whatever portion for lunch, it's usually ok. Dinners have to be very small or else I get bloated and feel too full. I have seen great progress since reducing dinner portions. Many days I've just been having watermelon for dinner and it's so satisfying and yummy! Again, occasional dinner out with family is ok.
- I get bloated around middle of my cycle and also before my period. I drink plain warm water or warm water with lemon to reduce the bloat and it seems to work.
- Most important of all, walking! I've been walking at least 1 hour brisk walk each day. If I can do it more, I do it. This really helps get the fat burning. I like having this time to myself and look forward to it every day. I take my music and tune out everything else and just enjoy walking.

Green family history
Green's of Blackwall
George Green (1767–1849) founded this important London shipbuilding and shipping family. In 1782 George was apprenticed to John Perry (1743–1810), whose family had managed the Blackwall shipyard on the Thames since 1708. He rose quickly and in 1797, along with Perry and his two sons, became a partner in the firm.
Blackwall yard
Blackwall yard was founded by the East India Company and later passed into the hands of Sir Henry Johnson and his family, under whom the Perrys became involved.
The yard estate included a 17th-century wet dock. Adjacent land used for storing timber and grazing allowed expansion and the sale of various parts over the years.
From the mid-18th century up to 1815 Blackwall was the largest private shipyard in the world. Warships for the Navy, Indiamen and other vessels were built there. In 1843, the shipyard was divided and the Green family retained sole ownership of the eastern part.
Passengers and cargoes
George's three sons, Richard, Henry and Frederick eventually took control. Richard, eldest, held overall direction and managed the ships following his father's retirement in 1838. Henry came to supervise the yard in 1822, having served his apprenticeship and in 1836 Frederick took charge of Frederick Green & Co., which handled passengers and cargoes.
The Greens set out to continue the high operating standards of the East India Company. Their conditions of service attracted and retained good crews, helping them maintain regular voyage schedules. They began to make Australian voyages in the late 1840s and established a monthly service after the discovery of gold in Port Victoria in 1852. By about 1860 they had a fleet of 30 ships.
Ship repairing
In 1902, with the decline of Thames shipbuilding, Richard and Henry became part of the well-known ship repairing partnership, R. & H. Green and Silley Weir. The Blackwall yard remained in use, with a major graving dock, but the main site was at the Royal Albert Dry Docks. P & O acquired control of the business in 1918 but Green and Silley Weir still had 8000 employees in the 1960s. It was sold in 1977 to become part of the Government-owned River Thames Shiprepairers and closed in 1980.
Notable philanthropists
The 19th-century Greens were notable philanthropists, especially in Poplar, the locality of the Blackwall yard. Here George Green built the Congregationalist Trinity Chapel (where both he and Richard were buried).
They also founded the Poplar Hospital, built several schools and were involved in many other areas of benefaction. Richard's included the founding of the training ship Worcester, on the Thames, for training merchant service officers.

On November of last year, I took a well deserved vacation trip to Europe. It would be 30 days long and since I was going to stay in friend's homes it was not possible to take Bonbon with me.
As you can imagine this was a main concern for me but on the other hand I needed and wanted to go back to the "old continent".
It was quite challenging as to where and with whom I would leave him.
Bonbon is a member of my family, as I am sure your Yorkie is for you as well. The hardest decisions will be with whom or where to leave them when you travel.
The Yorkshire Terrier has been bred over centuries to be companion lap dogs. Wanting to be close to their owner and having a very close bond with his owner are inbred traits.
You want. I am sure for them to be safe and comfortable without you, which is why it's best to plan ahead when possible.

Fannie, Freddie See Rally Fizzle; Questions Linger On
Is the Paulson/Bernanke plan enough? Stock market investors surely didn't seem to think so on Monday, with an early rally in shares on battered housing finance giants Fannie Mae (FNM) and Freddie Mac (FRE) fizzling and shares in both companies resuming their downward slide Monday afternoon. On Sunday, both the Treasury and the Federal Reserve released plans to backstop the ailing giants by providing access to the Fed's discount window, as well as asking Congress to expand a credit line from the Treasury and seeking the authority to buy up equity in either company should market conditions warrant it. It's the last part of that plan that clearly did little to help assuage equity investors' concern. The message that the government would backstop the ailing housing giants had very different implications for equity investors -- who were left see-sawing Monday on what the government strategy would really mean for share in the battered mortgage industry giants. In particular, investors zeroed in on the potential for the Treasury to step in an buy shares of either Fannie or Freddie should market conditions warrant. "We are deeply concerned that a potential equity investment by the Treasury would severely dilute current shareholders," wrote Kevin Cole, an analyst at Standard & Poor's Equity Research, in a note to clients on Monday that was reported by MarketWatch. That looked almost bullish next to the sentiment of David Ader, head of government bond strategy at RBS Greenwich Capital. "We assume their stock prices will go to zero -- the government won't pay to buy them," he wrote in a note clients. Wow. Others weren't so sure of that sort of dire assessment, and if anything, sources told HW that the lack of clarity embedded in Paulson's statement on Sunday left shareholders in "a Jeckyll-Hyde scenario, a limbo." "Will they or won't they? That's the question nobody has the answer to," said one source, a bank executive that asked not to be named. Should the Treasury jump in and buy shares, Congressional Democrats including House Financial Services Committee chairman Barney Frank (D-MA) said Monday that the government interest would likely wipe out existing shareholders -- but he also said that such an investment was "unlikely." The confusion in the markets led Freddie to close at $7.11, off 8.26 percent from Friday; Fannie closed at $9.73, off a little over 5 percent on the day. Disclosure: The author was long FRE and held no other positions of relevance when this story was originally published. HW reporters and writers follow a strict disclosure policy, the first in the mortgage trade.

When My Daughter Was Ready To Let Go Of Breastfeeding But I Wasn't
It was my 2nd week post partum when the discomfort had begun. My nipples were so sore and sensitive that I had lamented about not having the strength to continue breastfeeding in the presence of my lactation consultant. And here I am, writing about my breastfeeding journey of 3 years today! I don't know if words can do justice to this journey which has been exigent and fulfilling, with steep falls and euphoric highs. But, it's only these words which can prove to be cathartic for me in my current state of dishevel.
More than a year back, I had penned a blog post titled "Breastfeeding – The Natural Phenomenon That Does Not Always Happen Naturally". Breastfeeding is as natural as it is a learned activity. Though nature has designed it to happen instinctively between a mother and a child, more often than not it takes practice and a number of permutations and combinations to get the position, latch and technique right. Like most new mothers, I have had my share of struggles and moments of self-doubt in the first year of breastfeeding. It started with nipple sensitivity and soreness, and then when that settled down after figuring out the deep latch technique through online tutorials and forums, uncertainty about the adequacy of my milk supply crept into my mind due to frequent demands of feeds from my daughter. When access to the right support and information helped curb this apprehensiveness, my little one started teething and then began the biting and clamping which led to bruising and excruciating pain. I had to pump milk using a breast pump so that I could give my nipples time to heal and my mother would feed breast milk to my daughter through a feeding bottle. All these hurdles coupled with the fatigue resulting from sleep deficit and body ache bogged me down completely at that point. I had almost decided to give up on breastfeeding. The constant twinge, the feeling of being thwarted and the frustration came out in the form of tears practically every night. Then I happened to read inspiring stories of mothers who managed to breastfeed for years in spite of all the hardships on a breastfeeding support group on Facebook. Something changed after that. Something within me gave me the courage to carry on. I tried some hacks suggested by experienced mothers to reduce the biting and clamping, and gradually my tiny tot got the message and stopped doing it. By the end of our first year, breastfeeding had become a comfortable and effortless experience for both of us, and I decided to continue breastfeeding till the time my daughter self-weaned.
