Two worlds collide: Denyse Schmidt at JoAnn Fabrics
32 comments:
I love the reds! Also the Lecien red and white print below. Beautiful.
I feel for you soccer mom. I when I signed my daughter up for T ball a few years ago I said I could be assistant coach if they needed me (I am a good organizer, even if I can't throw a ball) and I ended up being coach. Oh, and I was 5 months pregnant. I didn't feel like I made a very good coach, but figured that if anyone had a problem with it, then I would be more than happy to let them coach. :)Thanks for the heads up. I won't buy fabric at our Joann's though. They cheat us. Sad to say. They stretch the fabric and then cut it so close to their thumb they practically cut it. When I ask them to remeasure always they have been short. So sad. We have two other shops in town that give 3 to 4 inches more over what we ask for. Generosity pays off as that is where I buy my fabric. (And MANY other quilters from my groups).Notions with a coupon are what I go to Joann's for.
ReplyDeletei've found out this morning on flickr...and immediately posted a shoutout on my blog to us friends...too bad joann's isn't selling it on their website. but then, they don't ship internationally :(.
my fingers are crossed that someone will listen ...because these fabrics are calling my name, too!Ok - I bought some. I could not resist.
But I don't think the base fabric is as nice - the weave is not as tight as I am used to from quilt-shop-cottons. But - it is drapier. Also - it is priced at $10/yd - which I expect at a quilt shop (with better service, better cuts, no "take a number") - but there are 50% off coupons this week/weekend.
Still - not sure if I will go get some other prints. It just is not as thick/nice a base fabric as KJR or HV.I agree with Marilyn. The cutting thing is ridiculous. Once they cut off the last 1" of fabric on the end of the bolt, rather than including it in my (five yard) purchase.
I have mixed feelings about this, as I think our little quilt shops should be the places we go for fabrics--or reputable online shops. I am not a fan of JoAnn's quilt fabrics!I just went to JoAnn's =D I'm new to sewing, so looking online is even more overwhelming than in person! I picked up a few yards of this fabric (since I don't have any) and it is soooo soft!! There wasn't very much of it though...only about 1/2 of a small shelf, but the shelf below was empty, so maybe they are getting more?
ReplyDeleteAny Aussie quilters who are looking for this fabric - I found it at Spotlight for AU$16.99 (with 20% off!). I was so excited!
Amy - I love your blog, I've only just started quilting and I'm 30 and my friends think it's a hobby for grannies :) Thanks for sharing.
Sarah, Perth, Western Australia

'O'Reilly Factor' Correspondent Trolls San Fran Pride
The geniuses behind Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor," hosted by Bill O'Reilly, decided it would be a good idea to send one of the program's correspondents to cover San Francisco Gay Pride on June 29 and to ask Pride-goers a bunch of loaded questions while he made stereotypical remarks.

Of course, the results were pretty offensive as correspondent Jesse Watters' misadventures found him speaking to drag queens, marchers and even E! host Ross Matthews and House Minority Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

The three-and-a-half-minute segment, <link|http://nation.foxnews.com/2014/07/07/we-want-gay-world-jesse-watters-visits-san-franciscos-gay-pride-parade|called "Watters' World: Gay Pride San Francisco"> opened up with whacky music and cut to Watters speaking with a number of people at the LGBT event.

"Are you sure, are you sure you don't like girls? Are you sure" he asks two tall drag queens wearing purple dresses and parasols. Later on in the clip, he asks them: "What if you have a religious conviction that marriage is between a man and a woman?"

"That belief is becoming dated," one of the drag queens said. "You either get with the program or go away with the dinosaurs."

He then asks another marcher, "Do you still need these parades even though you guys can get married in California?"

"What's the next step for the gay rights movement? Do you guys want a gay president?" Watters asks other Pride-goers.

"Hell yes!" a woman responds. "Gay world! Everyone will be gay!"

"That means we can't procreate," he says as the "Price is Right" fail buzzer is played.

He then tells a man wearing underwear that he looks "promiscuous" and later on asks others if it makes "you a bigot if you believe in traditional marriage."

"Can I have a straight Pride parade if I wanted to?" he asks another drag queen, who says "No."

When he spoke to Pelosi, Watters told her "Bill O'Reilly says 'hello.'"

"Give him my best," she replied. "Tell him to love his neighbor."

"He does," Watters said.

When Watters appeared on "The O'Reilly Factor" after the segment, he told O'Reilly he "had a blast" and there were "no problems."

"No one assaulted me," he added.

<link|http://www.advocate.com/politics/media/2014/07/08/watch-oreilly-factor-offers-stereotypical-take-pride|The Advocate> summed up the tone of the segment and wrote:

"The segment was reminiscent of local news coverage of Pride parades 25 or 30 years ago, with a mocking tone, emphasis on stereotypes, and an undercurrent of homophobia that most mainstream news outlets have abandoned. Even the Fox News Channel, though, might have to give some parade participants credit for open-mindedness, as a couple of drag queens told Watters they love Factor host Bill O'Reilly."

BabyBjorn High Chair
Sleek, modern and lightweight, the BabyBjorn high chair is perfect for the parent who wants to save on space. But aside from its impressively slim fold, it's also ergonomically correct, designed to hug your baby's body closely with its curved backrest and rounded, adjustable safety table. One more reason why Mom and Dad will love it: Its foldable and lockable safety table acts as an additional safety feature, keeping your baby securely in place and unable to stand up on the chair, knock the tray table out of position or tip the chair backwards.
Why it's a giggle pick it's easy to clean, lightweight and portable - making it a breeze to stow away or travel with.

Rated 5 out of 5 Pricey but worth every penny
There is no question...baby bjorn products are on the pricey side. This is the second baby bjorn item I have purchased (I love the travel crib just as much), and it is again worth every extra penny. You can assemble and disassemble this in under a minute (so if you want to take the legs off to travel or store, it is very easy). Everything wipes clean with a damp cloth, and the top tray is removable and can be placed in the dishwasher (although I discourage this as many dishwashers get very hot and can melt plastic...just as easy to clean in the sink). Baby is secure, not tipping hazard, and seems comfortable. Although the tray seems like it would be snug, it really isn't. My 14 month old is still on the closest setting...plenty of room to grow. Also, the tray is just below table height, so I can scoot her up to our table, and she can eat off the real table, too (great for family meal time).

Rated 5 out of 5 by IamLT Awesome
I have zero complaints about this high chair. It's perfect for my needs. I love how nice and tight the tray sits against my son because the food has nowhere to go. I put a bib on him and there is only mess from the tummy up (which with a one year old who frequently misses his mouth is unavoidable). Folding the legs down for storage or moving from room to room is easy, clean up is easy, getting him in and out is easy. I was concerned that there wasn't a 5 point harness but the way that the tray sits snug around his body he's in there and can't really move around that much when he's doing his ninja moves to avoid a spoon full of food or leaning over to feed morsels to the dog. I love it. It's definitely worth the price!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by omdavis Sleek design
This is a great, smaller footprint highchair. It has no fabric, which means it is a breeze to clean. After reading online reviews, I was concerned about it being able to accomodate our (very large for her age) 9 month old for several years, but when I put her in it there is plenty of room to grow. I love that we can pull it up to the dining room tale and easily fold it away in the closet when not using it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by AmieO Great Small High Chair ~
We really love this Baby Bjorn High Chair! The High Chair is a simple design that goes with any decor and is very safe and compact. The only negative is that you must clean off the tray before taking your child out, because the tray tilts down when you turn the knob to take your child out of the high chair.
Overall, the design is great, compact, and easy to clean. The tray is even dishwasher safe and small enough to fit in a dishwasher! The high chair is small and does have a fairly low back. We like Baby Bjorn products and this one is great, too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by mkmom slick and supportive
Highly recommend this product. It's light, easy to clean and provides great support for babies. We used it for our son at 5 months and still enjoy using it daily. I love that the tray can fit under most dinning tables so you can pull up the seat to your dinning table if you like or have the option of using the tray separately.
I'd done a ton of research and couldn't wait to get this in our home. It became available in US months after it was available in Europe.

Rated 3 out of 5 by talltxmama Cute and well made, but very, very small!
I love BabyBjorn products. They're almost universally well made, modern and functional (without a bunch of unnecessary frills). This high chair ticks all those boxes, but it's exceptionally small. And yes, I was looking for compact, but not so small as to require purchasing a second high chair in a few short months when my (admittedly large) 5 mo. old grows out of it. Given the price, I would want this high chair to last for several years. Instead, this high chair seems better suited to a transition between bumbo chairs/infant seats and a full-fledged high chair (which can be a bit big for younger infants). Of course, if you happen to have a petite child, this high chair could be just the ticket.

It's damaging because these are techniques that work
Nope. Every military doc I've read, every general interview I've read about the subject of "interrogation techniques" say that they are ineffective. That statement is a bold faced lie.
It's damaging because these are techniques that work
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Top Bush administration officials gave the CIA approval to use waterboarding, a controversial interrogation technique, as early as 2002, a Senate intelligence report shows.
On July 17, 2002, national security adviser Condoleezza Rice, who later became secretary of state, said the CIA could proceed with "alternative interrogation methods," including waterboarding, when questioning suspected al Qaeda leader Abu Zubaydah.
The decision was contingent on the Justice Department's determining the method's legality. A week later, Attorney General John Ashcroft had determined the "proposed interrogation techniques were lawful," the report said
[color=#FF8000]The same techniques also were used in the interrogations of Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, the first person charged in the United States in the 2000 attack on the USS Cole in Yemen that killed 17 U.S. sailors, and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the suspected mastermind behind the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States.[/color

Since Mimi's already pulled out the STFU iron, I wonder what she'll pull next. Junior's body has a selection of swords, including a nasty-looking skull one and it's right behind her.
Certainly black goes with pretty much anything. That's why it's black. Mimi is, perhaps, trying to be coy. Or perhaps she did not expect to be flashing her undergarments at anyone, seeing as how she was merely planning on crashing a castle and stealing a hand. Or is it strange that she even owns pink panties (if that's what Junior was thinking of)?
A head and spine without his body... what's a guy to do? I notice he's still got his spin on despite separation from his Nergal power source.
In any case, here's the epic showdown we've been waiting for.

text: The SIM is the ultimate training tool for triathletes and swimmers who want to mimic the body position and experience of a wetsuit swim or a full speed swim race in open water or in the pool. For triathletes, the SIM mimics the lift and position of a wetsuit without overheating. For competitive swimmers, this patent-pending suit is a game changer. It's a pull buoy replacement, vertical kicking tool, and race simulator all in one. The SIM lets you kick and turn naturally, and the reduced buoyancy on the sides of the suit encourage proper rotation. The SIM makes every swim a race-specific training workout. Once you try it, you won't ever want to go back. Note, these shorts are designed for the pool and should have excellent durability if you rinse them after use with fresh water and dry them thoroughly.

Integrated Resource Plan
TVA periodically updates our power generation strategy. The purpose of the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) is to identify the portfolio most likely to help TVA lead the region and the nation toward a cleaner and more secure energy future, relying more on nuclear power and energy efficiency and relying less on coal.
The first step is to understand the environment we're planning in. We call this scoping. We ask the general public, our customers, and our partners and regulators about their concerns regarding the sources we use to generate power (fossil fuels, renewables, nuclear, etc.), how we reduce demand (energy efficiency programs, time-of-use pricing, environmental impact, etc.) and how we deliver power (transmission, environmental impact, pricing, etc). To learn more about how our generating plants operate, visit the energy section of this web site. Then we consider social factors that would also impact our generation (poor economy, unforecastable weather scenarios, less expensive technologies, etc.).
We held two public meetings in October and November of 2013 to gather input on the scope of the planning process and associated EIS. The presentation given at those meetings is available for viewing and download below.
Next Steps
With this information we develop scenarios that are evaluated for viability and environmental impact. With the information received from the public and partners during scoping, TVA will develop a Draft integrated resource plan and a draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) that assess the environmental impacts of the scenarios proposed in the draft integrated resource plan. These documents will be available in the spring of 2015.
In the meantime, TVA is working with the IRP Working Group (IRPWG), stakeholders who represent broad perspectives such as customers, businesses, activists, elected officials and economic development experts. This group will accompany us on our nearly two year journey to create and test this 20-30 year vision to meet TVA's power needs for the Valley. We will meet frequently with them to get their feedback, insights and challenges as we develop scenarios, strategies and plan measurements along the way. You can find our meeting topics below.

All of these are supposed to support individual Independent Business Owners affiliated with Amway Global and the corresponding motivational organizations. These MO's sell these "tools" at a profit. These "profits from tools" and how they are administered and maintained are at the center of "the tool scam" and Tex's message at this blog.
But as an IBO affiliated with Amway Global, Tex has an "upline" sponsor and a motivational organization that he has to deal with. Tex's sponsors and their sponsors and their sponsors are all tied to a motivational organization.
One of the "tools" at Tex's disposal is a website replicating template site that provides IBOs with a series of website templates that can be customized with their own business name and "landing" page, so they may send potential IBOs to a website to introduce the recruit not only to Amway Global, but also, to the IBO's own identity.
But now, it seems that the Motivational Organization that is above Tex and is responsible for support and training of Tex has cancelled Tex's website and is not responding to his protests.
It appears some strong arm tactics may be in force trying to "silence" Tex's opinions about the "tool scam" and his efforts to discredit what he calls "the lying, cowardly, kingpins".
Here's what Tex is saying.....
"The below note will soon be sent to InterNet Services, with copies going to various Amway Global employees, as well as the UK regulators and Texas Attorneys General officials:
Your recent cancellation of my IBO City account (see rejected e-mails below, more on this later) because of honest and accurate criticism is in violation of Amway Global rules below:
5.3.3. Training and Motivation: IBOs must be able to train and motivate the IBOs they have registered with a minimum of assistance from his or her first upline Platinum or above. If the IBO is a member of an established business-building system, he or she may make arrangements for his or her IBOs to be trained and motivated by the activities and BSM of that system, but under no circumstances may an IBO be forced or coerced to participate in the system. If a downline IBO is unable, for any reason, to access the system or chooses not to use the system, his or her IBO must be able to provide training and motivation.
5.3.4. Servicing Arrangements: If an IBO is unable or unwilling to service his or her downline IBOs with the proper supply of products, training or motivation, he or she must make arrangements, in writing, with his or her first upline qualified Platinum (or higher pin) to have this done, in which case he or she must be willing to compensate his or her currently qualified Platinum (or higher pin) for this service. An IBO who lives at a distance from his or her downline IBOs must also personally supply, train, and motivate their new IBOs, or he or she must make arrangements, in writing, with his or her qualified Platinum (or higher pin) to have this done, in which case he or she must be willing to compensate his or her currently qualified Platinum (or higher pin) for this service.
There is no mention regarding whether the IBO is in agreement with the upline making most of their money from tools (and unknown to most IBO's and prospects, by the way) rather than Amway Global products and services, or any other disagreement. As Amway Global FULLY knows, my sponsor has been inactive for several years. Therefore, I have every right to access the IBO City information, and there is no rule that allows you to prevent access to this information. In fact, the rule below indicates Internet-Services should not be accredited (and therefore not qualified for the QBI program), as the above secret, under the table tool profit behaviors have severely damaged Amway Globals reputation for decades:
2.9. IBO in Good Standing. For the purposes of interpreting and enforcing the Quixtar Rules of Conduct only, the term "good standing," when used in these Rules, shall refer to an IBO whose conduct does not negatively affect the reputation of Quixtar Inc., its related businesses, or IBOs affiliated with Quixtar and its related entities. This Rule shall not impact anything other than the Rules of conduct, including, but not limited to, Quixtar Business Incentive Programs (QBI).
The tool scam "game" is over in the UK, as ZERO tool profit is now allowed, and needs to be addressed in the U.S. as well. I have tried working with Amway Global for over 3 years, have raised visibility to this issue via various blogs, and have been in touch with, among others, UK regulators, the FTC, my U.S. Senator, the DSA, and more recently the Texas Attorneys General office.
Now back to the e-mail rejection issue. As far as I'm concerned, the tool profit "game" is over, now all we need to do is clean up the mess. I have an unlimited number of e-mail accounts and IP addresses I can use to inform you of the issues, so stop playing this IP address/e-mail account rejection game.
Your weak attempts to subvert an honest business, both via the tool profits and with my e-mail rejections should be noted be noted by the UK and the Texas Attorneys General to provide insight into your extreme tactics. It should be further noted Amway Global has NOT been helpful in resolving various issues during the past 3 years as well.
I suggest you propose a couple of dates/times to discuss these issues in an adult manner, using the conference call information provided below.
