Palpitations are feelings or sensations that your heart is pounding or racing. They can be felt in your chest, throat, or neck.
You may:
The heart's rhythm may be normal or abnormal when you have palpitations.
Heartbeat sensations; Irregular heartbeat; Palpitations; Heart pounding or racing
Normally the heart beats 60 - 100 times per minute. The rate may drop below 60 beats per minute in people who exercise routinely or take medicines that slow the heart.
If your heart rate is fast (over 100 beats per minute), this is called tachycardia. A heart rate slower than 60 is called bradycardia. An occasional extra heartbeat is known as extrasystole .
Palpitations are not serious most of the time. Sensations representing an abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia ) may be more serious.
The following conditions make you more likely to have an abnormal heart rhythm:
Heart palpitations can be due to:
However, some palpitations are due to an abnormal heart rhythm, which may be caused by:
Once a serious cause has been ruled out by your doctor, try not to pay close attention to heart palpitations. This may cause stress. However, contact your doctor if you notice a sudden increase or a change in them.
If you have never had heart palpitations before, see your health care provider.
Call 911 or your local emergency number if you have:
Call your doctor right away if:
Your doctor or nurse will examine you and ask questions about your medical history and symptoms.
You may be asked:
An electrocardiogram will be done.
In the emergency room, you will be connected to a heart monitor.
If your doctor finds you have an abnormal heart rhythm, other tests may be done. This may include:
Adopting a healthy lifestyle, including a heart healthy diet and regular exercise, may help prevent palpitations.

Vintage Christmas Glass Ornaments and Illustrations
41 comments:
Those are beautiful! I have a small 4' white tree (that I just got this year!) that I set up on a table and put only my vintage pretties on it. I think it showcases them nicely and I don't have to worry (as much) about anything happening to them. If you have local antique store/mall by you check there too. It's a bit more pricey but you can find some awesome good condition ornaments for a few bucks a piece. I just picked up an amazing vintage tree topper there for $12 last week!
ReplyDeleteI just love this post. What beautiful ornaments. I can't decide which ones I like the best. My parents aren't doing as much decorating and I need to get some of the ornaments I remember from my childhood--my brother doesn't really care about them and my sister-in-law is from Taiwan so they rarely if ever decorate for Christmas.
I have bunches of Richard Scarry books, but nothing about Christmas. I'm off to Amazon to do a search. Thanks, Amy!I have that Richard Scarry book! It was one of the ones that I kept when my Mom broke up her house. I also have "Mr. Willoughby's Christmas Tree", it is another favorite. I have been collecting vintage porcelain Santas and Christmas knick knacks. They remind me of my childhood! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteSorry this comment is late but I got busy and fell behind on reading the blogs I follow. I have a few vintage ornaments that are actually survivors from my childhood. I've been thinking that maybe I would put garland up over my bedroom windows and attach the ornaments to the garlands. Maybe you could try that - it would keep them up high, in a room the kids don't spend as much time in, and add a little Christmas spirit to your evening sanctuary.
Thank you so much for your comments - they make my day! I try to respond to as many as my 'mommy' time allows, but life sometimes gets in the way. Please know how much I appreciate each of them.
I apologize for the current comment settings that require a registered user account. They are the only way that I don't get tons of gross spam. I'm hoping Blogger will make a way where people who are not registered users, but would like to leave a comment can do so. Please, Blogger! In the mean time, thanks for your patience.
I also love to respond to questions. If you are a no-reply blogger, please leave an email address so I can get back to you. Or you can email me directly: amy @ diaryofaquilter.com. Thanks!

How many of you honestly believe that aliens are visiting this world? Close Encounters of the Third Kind is in my top five favourite films of all times, however I am even more sceptical now than I ever have been that aliens are continuing to visit Earth.
There are two major factors which make me doubt they are coming here. Firstly, why on earth would they fly around our skies covered in lights if they didn't want us to know they were there? Also, any alien race that has the technology to travel to our world would not put themselves in a position where they would either crash, or end up as captives. Their technology would not allow them to crash, it would have far exceed any technology we will have for the next 10,000 years.
You have also got to look at the technology that we have nowadays. We have telescopes and cameras that enable us to see solar storms erupting from the sun, far-off galaxies and identify new planets. We have even been able to send robotic vehicles to Mars. With all this technology available, we are still not able to take a half decent photograph or video footage of something flying around our airspace.
I'm sure that any self-respecting alien race out there will have more important things to do than visit a planet that is quite obviously thousands of years behind them

Membranous nephropathy is a kidney disorder that leads to changes and inflammation of the structures inside the kidney that help filter wastes and fluids. The inflammation may lead to problems with kidney function.
Membranous glomerulonephritis; Membranous GN; Extramembranous glomerulonephritis; Glomerulonephritis - membranous; MGN
Membranous nephropathy is caused by the thickening of part of the glomerular basement membrane. The glomerular basement membrane is a part of the kidneys that helps filter waste and extra fluid from the blood. The exact reason for this thickening is not known.
The thicker glomerular membrane does not work normally. Large amounts of protein are lost in the urine as a result.
This condition is one of the most common causes of nephrotic syndrome . It may be a primary kidney disease, or it may be associated with other conditions.
The following increase your risk for this condition:
The disorder occurs in about 2 out of every 10,000 people. It may occur at any age, but is more common after age 40.
Symptoms often begin slowly over time, and may include:
A physical exam may show swelling (edema).
A urinalysis may reveal large amounts of protein in the urine . There may also be some blood in the urine . The glomerular filtration rate (the "speed" at which the kidneys cleanse the blood) is usually nearly normal.
Other tests may be done to see how well the kidneys are working and how the body is adapting to the kidney problem. These include:
A kidney biopsy confirms the diagnosis.
The following tests can help determine the cause of membranous nephropathy:
The goal of treatment is to reduce symptoms and slow the progression of the disease.
Controlling blood pressure is the most important way to delay kidney damage. The goal is to keep blood pressure at or below 130/80 mmHg. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are the medicines most often used to lower blood pressure.
Corticosteroids and other drugs that suppress the immune system may be used.
High blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels should be treated to reduce the risk of atherosclerosis . However, a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet is usually not as helpful for people with membranous nephropathy. Medications to reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels (most often statins) may be recommended.
A low-salt diet may help with swelling in the hands and legs. Water pills or diuretics may also help with this problem.
Low-protein diets may be helpful. A moderate-protein diet (1 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight per day) may be suggested.
Vitamin D may need to be replaced if nephrotic syndrome is chronic and does not respond to therapy.
This disease increases the risk for blood clots in the lungs and legs. Patients are occasionally prescribed blood thinners to prevent these complications.
Screening for age-appropriate malignancies is warranted, if not already done.
The outlook varies, depending on the amount of protein loss. Patients may have symptom-free periods and occasional flare-ups. In some cases, the condition may go away, either with or without therapy.
Most patients will have some kidney damage within 2-20 years. About 20% of those patients will progress to end-stage renal disease .
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if:
Quickly treating disorders and avoiding substances that can cause membranous nephropathy may reduce your risk.

A rainscreen such as the one on this Michigan water-side home designed by Jeff Jordan Architects manages bulk water by allowing walls to dry out faster. They're ideal for rainy climates but can be used almost anywhere.

Painted wood is especially susceptible to moisture damage, which is why Bates Masi + ARCHITECTS used a rainscreen on this New York house. The boards will dry faster and hold paint better.

If the budget is tight, Benjamin Obdyke's Home Slicker is sometimes enough to create a moisture-drying airspace behind wall cladding, architects say.
Simple and forgiving system with built-in redundancy
Integrated drainage and ventilation accelerate moisture removal

UV degradation of weather barrier
Insects nesting in air space

Weather-resistive barrier failure
Increased material and labor costs
Added installation time
Home construction is a conservative business in which tradesmen are notoriously reluctant to try to new technology. No wonder so many pros toss around terms like "tried and true construction practices." But some customs, such as siding installation, could use some updating.
The traditional installation—boards pressed tightly against the building to keep out moisture—has been around for many years, but we now know this practice isn't always best. As building scientist Joseph Lstiburek has written, "People continue to put their faith in every kind of cladding material, but in the real world all claddings leak sooner or later. They always have, and they always will." Rather than fight this inevitability, more architects are adopting a different approach: the rainscreen.
"Rainscreens shed most of the rain and manage the rest, preventing moisture intrusion and the resulting premature decay in homes," according to ToolBase Services, the technical information arm of the NAHB Research Center in Upper Marlboro, Md. "Rather than attacking the symptoms of moisture intrusion, rainscreens tackle the source—the forces that drive water into the building shell. By neutralizing these forces, rainscreens can withstand extreme environments."
A well-managed wall, Lstiburek frequently says, includes a drainage plane; air space between the wall cladding and the drainage plane; flashing at every opening or penetration to kick water out and down; and vented or porous cladding. This technology has been used on European buildings for many years and on commercial projects in the United States, and now its use is growing among residential practitioners.
Architect Jeff Jordan had detailed commercial projects with ready-made rainscreen systems, but he didn't specify his first residential project until the Higgins Lake House in Michigan. "One of the reasons we used a rainscreen was the wood [siding] itself," says Jordan, of Jeff Jordan Architects in Jersey City, N.J. "Our concern was that because the wood is so pricey, we didn't want it to degrade over time." The rainscreen allows the boards to dry faster, preventing premature failure, he says. "Separating the wood from the wall also has a thermal benefit. It gave us a thermal break, so the temperature differential helps from a cooling standpoint."
Rainscreens are indeed effective, but knowing when to use them is key. They are more effective in regions that receive at least 20 inches of rain per year, and though they can be used with any cladding material, wood (especially painted wood) is an excellent candidate. "Clapboard rainscreens have been recommended for decades to mitigate moisture problems in wood walls," ToolBase states on its website. "In this approach, siding is typically installed on vertical furring strips (commonly wooden 1x2s) attached to studs. Wood claddings are then back-sealed with a breathable, moisture-resistant, penetrating sealer."
Architect Paul Masi, AIA, beautifully demonstrated this detail on the Roaman Residence in Amagasett, N.Y. The ground level of the home is wrapped in custom-milled rainscreen siding; the top edge of each board is beveled to promote drainage. "The air circulation helps the boards dry evenly, which helps hold paint and stain better," says the principal of Sag Harbor, N.Y.–based Bates Masi + ARCHITECTS.
Though relatively straightforward, rainscreens require some thought. "The most important part is the weather barrier," says Jordan, who specified products from Gig Harbor, Wash.–based VaproShield on the Higgins Lake House. "You need to do a really good job installing the tape and the membrane." Jordan also specified 1x2 pressure-treated furring strips and Western red cedar boards with ¼-inch spacing.
Another concern is money. There are added material costs for furring strips and labor for painting or priming, but expense also varies based on the type of weather barrier, furring strips, and cladding. William T. Ruhl, AIA, of Ruhl Walker Architects in Boston—who typically details his rainscreens with VaproShield or Delta Rainscreen Systems from Cosella-Dorken Products—says, for example, that you can use AZEK PVC trim boards for battens, but they cost more than pressure-treated wood, which in turn costs more than regular wood.
Architects simply vary their assembly to meet budget. Regular housewrap is an option, but UV radiation could penetrate the spaces between the cladding and break down the product. Others say a double layer of 30-pound felt might be adequate. Another architect says Home Slicker from Horsham, Pa.–based Benjamin Obdyke might be enough to create an air space that vents the siding. "Sometimes the installation costs the same," Jordan says. "Because there is space [between the cladding], you actually use less wood."
Ultimately, architects must evaluate each project to determine if a rainscreen is appropriate. "There must be practical considerations," Ruhl says. "There has to be a reason for doing things."

Especially near dawn, when the sun shines in eerie orange beams across a partly cloudy and many hued blue sky. I wonder if the ancient peoples looked up at that miraculous sky and sought to mimic that beauty here on earth. I think of open air marvels such as the Parthenon and Acropolis when I look up at the sky at dawn.
I also wonder if, maybe they built these things because they could. Knowing these monuments would stand the test of time. Unlike our "modern" building materials today that would hardly last longer than a few centuries, if that. What if these civilizations actually had large metropolises that rivaled our own? Airports, malls, apartment complexes and sky scrapers? Obviously they had the technology to build these and other monuments, feats we still cannot achieve today. Would a metropolis like Chicago or New York survive thousands of years after it inhabitants abandoned it? I doubt it but the pyramids obviously did.
These supposedly primitive civilizations that sheered off the entire top of a mountain. With stone tools, I suppose? Monuments and cities built at high elevations from stones weighing hundreds or thousands of tons. These stones coming from quarries many dozens or hundreds of miles away? It's obvious to me that technology and indeed a large part of our history has been lost here. Whether you believe in ET's or not, something just doesn't add up.
It's like we're purposely being mislead to believe that we are the epitome of human civilization and the height of engineering. So called experts explain these feats as being done through "primitive" means, yet can't reproduce the results even with their computer models. It's like we're the A.D.D. civilization that can't investigate any one subject for long bec - "oh look, shiney!".

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) -- Enrollment has dropped this year at the 19 community colleges in Kansas, according to a report from the Kansas Board of Regents.
The report says community college enrollments are down 3.82 percent, which is a drop of 3,095 students from last fall. The total number of students at the colleges was 77,829 when classes started, The Wichita Eagle reported (http://bit.ly/16lplbY ).
The largest statewide decline was at Kansas City Kansas Community College, which lost 911 students from last fall, a 12.77 percent drop to a total 6,575 student population.
Brian Bode, the college's vice president for financial and administrative services, told the newspaper the best-case scenario would be that the college hangs on to some of the enrollment it added during the recession, when its student body went from 5,800 in 2008 to 7,500 in 2010.
Community colleges in Kansas and across the nation saw increases in enrollment during the recession as people who lost jobs went back to school to boost their resumes or train for different careers.
Other community college administrators say they were aware the drop was coming.
"We knew the graduation rates in our area were decreasing. That was a piece of it," said Kimberly Krull, president of Butler Community College, which is down 588 students this fall, a drop of 5.91 percent from last fall.
Ed Berger, president of Hutchinson Community College, said HCC had a 60 percent increase in enrollment over the last 10 years. This year, enrollment at the college is down 31 students, or .5 percent, from last fall, according to the regents' report.
"I guess I see that as a correction more than anything," Berger said.
The board's count is based on the fall semester's first 20 days. Enrollment may go up as students sign up for a second eight-week schedule and for online courses.

Episode Information
Youth Vote Episode 3
Despite the political apathy that the entire Millenial generation has been accused of, there are a growing number of young people who are becoming interested and participating in the political process.
"I wanted to get involved...and the national leadership appointed me to the position." Thomas Dec- Connecticut High School Coordinator for Students for Barack Obama
Rock the Vote's latest poll (9.23.08) of 18-29 year olds shows young voters are increasingly engaged in the upcoming presidential election, driven by concerns over the faltering economy and a sense that our country needs a new direction. Concern over the economy, while a top issue for young people since 2006, has intensified and is now the number one issue this election for nearly half (41%) of 18-29 year olds. The political leanings of young voters have remained steady since Rock the Vote's last poll in February: when asked for whom they would vote for president in November, 56% said Barack Obama and 29% said John McCain.
"I gave for the first time financially to a political campaign and then I did a little phone banking." Jennifer Kim
Remember to vote on November 4

Master of Arts in Ministry
What is Ministry?
Dictionary.com defines ministry as "the service, functions, or profession of a minister of religion". Traditionally, a ministry was always led by a classically trained church leader, but this definition of ministry has become obsolete in the 21st century. Our Masters in Ministry degree attempts to broaden the scope of who a "minister" truly is. Not being confined by the four walls of a church building, a true "minister" reaches out to the community and engages them where they live.
The Master of Arts (MA) in Ministry degree at Biblical prepares reflective practitioners, no matter who they are, to be engaged missionally in a variety of ministry settings.
Any person who desires to lead a ministry within their community will be assisted by our core curriculum of practical theology, biblical studies, and theology. In addition, the flexibility of electives offered in this program allows you to custom tailor your education to meet your specific ministry needs.
Why the MA Ministry Degree at Biblical?
Biblical's unique approach to ministry focuses on our commitment to the gospel of Jesus Christ and a generously orthodox faith. We teach ministry from a missional theology perspective, encouraging students to explore the character of God within the context of the unfolding drama of Scripture's story. Our students are equipped to fully understand the Scriptures and to practically apply them to their own community and context. This is truly a unique learning experience you won't find anywhere else.
Shape Your Degree into What You Need
Many degree programs have a specific path that you must follow. However, Biblical Seminary's MA in Ministry degree offers a variety of ways to build your education experience. Students can focus on two concentrations of learning (Theology/Leadership or Counseling) to provide the core content of your degree. Within each concentration, nine to twelve credits of electives are required. The electives change from year to year, allowing you to select which courses pertain directly to your ministry.
MA in Ministry Curriculum |
Practical Theology Courses - 30 Credits
Integrative - 6 Credits
The Senior Seminar course may be taken only after completion of 30 hours, typically in the student's final year. |
General Electives - 12 Credits Please be aware that these elective courses vary from year to year. Please see our current term schedules for the classes being offered this year. |
Total Required Credits - 48 |
Students who select the MA in Ministry program without a concentration may choose most of Biblical's offerings as electives. Possible options may include: Worship in Community, Generous Orthodoxy, Biblical Interpretation
MA in Ministry Curriculum - Counseling Concentration |
Practical Theology Courses - 27 Credits
Integrative - 6 Credits
The Senior Seminar course may be taken only after completion of 30 hours, typically in the student's final year. |
Counseling Concentration - 15 Credits Two Required Courses plus 9 Elective Credits *
A prerequisite for counseling electives is successful completion of Helping Relationships or Pastoral Counseling including a recommendation from the professor. Please be aware that these elective courses vary from year to year. Please see our current term schedules for the classes being offered this year. |
Total Required Credits - 48 |
* MAC Course Policy for Non-MAC Students
Students not in the MAC program who wish to complete core counseling classes [note: this does not limit bible and theology counseling courses) are limited to certificate level courses. These courses include:
- Helping Relationships
- Human Development
- Psychopathology
- Models of Counseling
- Physiology
- Some summer electives
Students wishing to take advanced counseling classes as part of the certificate (i.e., the elective course) such as Marriage and Family, Child and Adolescent must first successfully complete Helping Relationships (or Pastoral Counseling plus receive the recommendation of that professor).
Students wishing to transfer into the MAC program must first complete Helping Relationships (successful completion of triads, mock counseling and the video assignments). Those students who completed the pastoral counseling course must audit Helping Relationships and successfully complete the above assignments.
Students need to be reviewed before they are permitted to transfer into MAC fully, but can be taking courses on the list above.
The counseling concentration is designed to prepare a person to use basic counseling competencies in a church environment. For the licensure-orientated program, see our Master of Arts in Counseling (MAC) program information.
Notes regarding the program:
- Students must take Formation and Mission within the first year (and preferably within the first 9 credits)
- The Senior Seminar course may be taken only after completion of 30 hours, typically in the student's final year.
- Students entering their program in 2012-13 and beyond must pass the Bible Knowledge exam to qualify for graduation.
Master of Arts Program Goals
- Live grace-based missional lives increasingly characterized by the fruit of the Spirit, and love for God and others.
- Demonstrate effective missional leadership based on biblical values and individual gifting, personality, call, context, and relational skills.
- Critically, constructively, and creatively engage our postmodern culture with the hope of the gospel.
Important Dates:
- Open Now:
- Registration for spring
- Upcoming:
- Leadercast 2015

The Teaching Aust. Lit. project (TAL) was established in 2008 with ALTC (now OLT) funding to establish a database to record information about the texts being taught at Australian universities.
TAL is designed to assist tertiary and secondary teachers of Australian literature, members of the Literary and Cultural Studies discipline community, curriculum designers, policy framers and anyone interested in the state of Australian literature study with information about the current teaching of Australian literary and narrative studies in Australian and, in some cases, international educational institutions.
The TAL data is now fully integrated with the AustLit database so that biographical, bibliographical and contextual information on Australian literary cultures is easily accessible from individual work and author records.
Search AustLit for a text or an author to discover where, and in what context, novels, plays, poetry, film, and other Australian texts are and have been taught.
For example, Patrick White's works continue to be taught at universities in Australia and overseas.
On his AustLit entry, the link to information about the teaching of those works can be found from the 'Works Taught' link on the left hand side.
Similarly, to see where and in what context White's novel, The Aunt's Story, is taught click on the 'Units Teaching' link on the AustLit work record.
Every Patrick White text taught at university level will have that detail recorded.
AustLit tries to record this information for all writers with works taught at Australian universities. You can help by telling us about the texts you teach.
The TAL Project makes available information about the teaching of Australian literary texts in universities and tertiary institutions around Australia and overseas.
The inclusion policy for TAL is fairly broad and covers the following types of texts:
— Traditional forms of literary expression: novels, plays, short stories, poems
— Life narrative expression: autobiography, biography, memoir, oral history
— Critical textual expression: literary criticism and theory, essays, subject specific companions, ficto-criticism, etc
— Non-print media expression: film, screen writing, performance art, Indigenous artistic expression, web-based narrative material
The unit or course description includes, when available: brief details of the aims and methods of the course; details of the Australian literary texts taught or recommended for reading; the context within the university, school and/or department in which the course appears; links to the AustLit Resource whenever possible; options for updates and providing additional information.
The Teaching Aust. Lit. project developed out of the Teaching Australian Literature Survey project, an ALTC funded project conducted in 2008-2009.
This Survey was informed by initial research and surveying conducted by the Association for the Study of Australian Literature (ASAL) in 2006. The ASAL survey yielded some limited results and was useful in identifying the specific methodological, scoping and resourcing aims at the core of the ALTC Survey project's design.
The ALTC Survey included the following target groups:
— Senior Secondary Teachers of Australian Literature
— 1st year Undergraduate Students of Australian Literature
— 2nd, 3rd and 4th year Undergraduate Students of Australian Literature
— Teachers and Co-ordinators of University Level Australian Literature Study
— Overseas Tertiary Teachers of Australian Literature
Other consultations with the tertiary and secondary community also contributed to this research. Stakeholders included: ASAL, the Australian Society of Authors (ASA), the Australian Association for the Teaching of English (AATE), the National Library of Australia (NLA), the journals Australian Literary Studies (ALS) and Journal of the Association for the Study of Australian Literature (JASAL), and the International Australian Studies Association (InASA).
As an updatable resource the TAL project encourages participation by members of the teaching communities where Australian literature is taught and through the support of the peak body, ASAL.
We are keen to collect information from teaching staff or administrative staff in schools and faculties to submit information on the courses/units being taught so that in each semester/year the information is up to date while retaining details of past years' teaching activities. †
AustLit continues to maintain the content within our limited resources, but we rely on the community participating on its continued development. Please help us keep the TAL data up-to-date.
† Please note that any data collected on Units taught before 2009 is incidental, and figures should not be used comparatively for these earlier years.
– the ability for teachers to explore how a text they might wish to teach is being used in other units and courses around Australia;
– to consider the types of assessment being used; and,
– to discover complementary and secondary texts in a given context.
The TAL project allows teachers of Australian literature to draw on a broad knowledge of the community's experience of unit and course design and to contribute, interactively, to the development of that sharing of teaching experience.
See the Teaching Australian Literature Survey report for more background on what other teachers have done and how you can use AustLit's resources to enhance both your teaching and your students' learning.

Don't try this at home, folks
36 comments:
Well, it could have been worse! -which is the mantra of a mom of little ones I think!
reminded me of a long, long time ago...
when I sewed at the kitchen table, I got up to do something and left the machine on and a very little person crawled under the table and just had the best time playing with the foot pedal....I remember a scream (from me) and a long time getting the machine unjammed and working again.You guys make me laugh! Yes, this is the same Sharpie artist and a few days before I found him with the rotary cutter and a recently finished quilt block. Fortunately he wasn't at an angle where he could push hard enough and fortunately he didn't turn it on himself.
This is the first of my kids to exhibit this kind of "creative energy". I think I'm going to have another Van Gogh one day.My 4 year old tried to "fix" my serger. She had a screwdriver in hand and loosened everything she could in what I swear was 2 minutes. I tried so hard not to yell or cry at her. But I had a good cry later when the professionals said there was nothing more they could do to make it work right after having it for 3 months. Children are embodiments of the chaos theory, albeit cute ones.
Thank you so much for your comments - they make my day! I try to respond to as many as my 'mommy' time allows, but life sometimes gets in the way. Please know how much I appreciate each of them.
I apologize for the current comment settings that require a registered user account. They are the only way that I don't get tons of gross spam. I'm hoping Blogger will make a way where people who are not registered users, but would like to leave a comment can do so. Please, Blogger! In the mean time, thanks for your patience.
I also love to respond to questions. If you are a no-reply blogger, please leave an email address so I can get back to you. Or you can email me directly: amy @ diaryofaquilter.com. Thanks!

The 2015 Porsche Macan is an extremely rewarding driver's car, yet promises all-around practicality with its all-wheel-drive system and compact SUV cabin space, making it the most universally usable model in the Porsche line-up.
You can pick exactly which flavour 911 you'd like, from the vanilla 911 to the taste explosion that is the GT3m. But there might only be one choice for those who want excitement and comfort. That would be the GTS.
This year, Porsche made its 24-hour comeback. XCAR spoke to some legends, past and present, about what made Le Mans their race -- and why they're back.
Singer Vehicle Design is the vision of one man to write the ultimate love letter to the Porsche 911. Inspired by the best aspects of the air-cooled generations of 911, Singer's restorations of Porsche 964s are stunning incarnations of the world's favourite sportscar.
Porsche Macan marks the beginning of several chapters for the carmaker, plus a new list of the safest cheap first cars for teens and the new options that are putting the squeeze on car radio.
Could the new 2015 Porsche Macan become the car maker's new best seller, over its current best seller, the Cayenne SUV? Brian Cooley takes it for a drive and checks the tech.
Porsche Macan marks the beginning of several chapters for the carmaker, plus a new list of the safest cheap first cars for teens and the new options that are putting the squeeze on car radio.
Now that the Cayenne has become accepted among the Porsche faithful, the Macan should be no surprise. Yet this new compact SUV is something of a revelation, featuring phenomenal handling, power and new tech features.
With its roots planted in the now defunct Group B Rally series the 959 brought together the best the German manufacturer had to offer. XCAR took this beast out for a spin to relive the magic.
Porsche used to be pretty good when it came to Le Mans. It won everything, all the time. However, for one reason or other the brand hasn't been there since 1998. 2014 sees the 919 Hybrid racer hit La Sarthe, with someone well known behind the wheel... We took a look at the car, and the tech behind it.

Republicans Suppress Black Vote; Democrats Scatter It
A Black Agenda Radio commentary by BAR executive editor Glen Ford
Republicans tend to concentrate African Americans in majority Black voting districts, while Democrats like to scatter Blacks around to help white candidates win office. "Both parties are playing plantation politics with Black voters, for their own purposes." Coalitions are fine, but African Americans need to address their own problems, on their own terms.

Knowing that kids tend to be continuously sick, how can someone who is immune compromised be best protected but still spend time with their grandchildren?
Christina Bach, MSW, LCSW, OSW-C, Oncology Social Worker at Penn Medicine, responds:
You should ABSOLUTELY enjoy your grandchildren!
The most important thing to remember is HANDWASHING HANDWASHING HANDWASHING!
This is great habit to instill in kids from an early age. Keep alcohol based hand santizer handy; in the car, in your bag, in the office...where ever hand washing may be necessary.
This is the best way to prevent the spread of germs; immunocompromised or not.

What are the washing instructions for these? Cold or warm water? And should I remove the insole first? Thanks!Asked on 6/14/2013 by Mom of 21 answer
These shoes can be hand washed using a mild detergent. It is more effective if you wash the insole separately. Rinse thoroughly and let air dry out of direct sunlight. Do not use a washing machine as this is damaging to the components.Answered on 6/14/2013 by Teva Product Specialist
