Nice staff & surroundings in Mitte. Rice or noodles only 1 euro. Dim Sum in small plates only 3 euros each so you can order a large variety of dishes to share. Good value but I heard the microwave pinging quite a few times, which indicates the chefs cut a few corners to keep the service brisk. If you like Wagamama, you will love this place but there are much better Asian food to be had in this city. My favourite plate was a rice noodle & green papaya salad.

NextKempton race tracks -
In 2006 Kempton Park redeveloped it's tracks to incorporate all weather racing. The Polytrack and floodlighting have
been in place since 2006 and can accomodate up to 17 runners at a time. Horses race right-handed over distances of 5f, 6f,
7f, 1m, 1m3f, 1m4f and 2m.
The 1m 5f triangular course used for National Hunt meetings is a totally fair, flat track which should suit most horses. It s not too tight, not too galloping and requires speed and stamina in equal measure.

The entertainment industry can be a very dangerous place for a young star and we have seen many childhood stars coming through in the entertainment industry, before vanishing from the scene completely, going off the rails and ruining their career and missing out on a normal childhood. In some cases though, there have been a few stars who have made it from being a childhood star to being a grown up talent without too many hiccups.
A lot of the stars who begin their careers as child stars tend to do so with shows on the likes of Disney and there are still a lot of young and talented Disney stars in the entertainment industry today. One of the young and talented stars that we have seen on the Disney scene recently is Olivia Holt, who has appeared in shows such as Kickin' It and I Didn't Do It.
While a lot of young stars find themselves being taken advantage of by people who just want to ride on the coattails of their success, Olivia Holt is showing them how it should really be done. Olivia has surrounded herself with a strong team of people, which includes her parents who are keen to make sure that she continues to enjoy the life that most people her age would.
Just recently Olivia Holt took a break from her acting career to enjoy the Summer the same way that anyone her age would. Olivia headed off to a Summer camp, where she spent the week enjoying herself out of the public eye, Now though, it is back to business, as Olivia Holt continues with her acting career and, in our opinion, she has the potential to become a huge star in the future.

To A Wild Rose
I think I've been reading about interest in species roses here in some forum threads. For those folk, and of course, everyone who may not have this link:
Happy Holidays!
Here is a link that might be useful: RogersRoses Wild Roses
These roses aren't really in my realm. I discovered the site a while ago and found it interesting for different reasons - history, heritage, etc., for me. But there are folks who love species and some who do or might use them for hybridizing. I hoped other folks might find it helpful and enjoy it.
Now about that fragrance question: I'd wager that some definitely are. Sorry, I can't really be any help though.
Yes, Kitty, quite a few have fragrance - ranging from musk, through to citrus, myrrh, linseed and violets. Some have fragrant foliage such as the sweet briars and primula while some have a very strong old rose scent (R.webbiana and R.sancta). Some have peculiar but unique scents such as fedchenkoana and austrian copper. They are an interesting and varied bunch with something for everyone, ranging from graceful architecture, wonderfully diverse foliage to a stunning display of heps and autumn colouring. Many of them will grow in shadier places than usual, almost woodland edge, while they can be absolutely tiny to hugely massive. If I could only have one class of roses, wildlings would always be my choice.
It sounds like your new wooded area would be perfect for wild roses. I saw a beautiful little area of wild roses in the local mountains in October but the flowers were gone by then and they were making an impressive crop of heps. They were as you said in the dappled light of trees along a dried out creek bed where there was sun because no trees were growing in the sandy bed of the creek. That's nice about them having a rich and diverse fragrance. All we have in the city are tame roses.
Yep, Kitty, I am sowing heps already. I like the idea of them growing up already in situ but there is always the cutting or even transplant options (although I have least success of all, actually moving roses which have been in place for more than 2 or 3 years).
Thread link:
Here is a link that might be useful: R. abyssinica

Here is a link that might be useful: Species Roses
That's a wonderful thing to sow rose seeds. I have a few little self sown roses that I am watching. I think they are from a pink mini I got that looked old fashioned to me. The other parent who knows because I have a mix of everything out there.
I hope you get a beautiful blooming wood full of wild roses.

Kennard has a reputation for his unique and innovative approach to representing athletes. He began his football career as a wide receiver for the University of Tennessee. A 1987 graduate of the University of Tennessee, McGuire signed with the New England Patriots as a wide-receiver. A devastating knee injury in 1989, forced McGuire to end his professional football career. Fortunately, however, his strong business edge and personal experience in succeeding as an athlete in the competitive business world of sports allowed him to gracefully transition into and successfully embrace the world of client representation.
McGuire represents some of the NFL's most notable players for whom he has negotiated some of the sports most lucrative player contracts, setting the bar in the industry, with over a one billion in player contracts.
Vola has been Kennard McGuire's assistant since 1997. Vola has extensive client services experience and assists with the day-to-day operations.
Jeff "Griff" Griffin recently joined MS World after serving as Senior Partner/Co-Owner of Momentum Sports Group. During his time at Momentun, Griff co-represented 25 NFL Draft picks and has represented athletes for over 11 years.
In 2009, Griff negotiated a four year $27.5 million dollar contract for Ronald Bartell of the St. Louis Rams. The contract paid Ronald more money(over 9 million) in year one of the contract than any other cornerback in 2009 free agency.
In 2007, Griff negotiated a lucrative contract for Robert Meachem (27th Overall in the 2007 NFL Draft). He achieved significant increases in every key category(guarantee, base package, max package) over the 27th pick in the 2006 draft.
In 1996, Griff concluded his playing career as a Fullback at Abilene Christian University in Abilene, Texas. As a former college football player, his understanding of the game is invaluable and will be a true asset while assisting MS World clients during and after their playing careers.
As a former MS World client and retired NFL offensive lineman, Antoine has a niche for understanding the needs of our athletes. Antoine's new focus will be on MS World's client services and marketing needs. He will oversee marketing transactions, public appearances, media opportunities as well as other client services.
Antoine played football throughout his youth and was a captain at the University of Alabama during his final two years (2007/2008). He went on to be drafted by the Houston Texans where he spent his four-year career playing guard. Antoine always realized that football was a stepping stone to his future, so while he played many leadership roles on the University of Alabama campus, he worked towards receiving two degrees.

Alongside Lust Boys' Ethan Silverman, Taylor is launching a new label called Terrible Records, which will hopefully not turn out to be a prophetic name. And yes, Taylor will release solo music on the label.
Ryan Adams Preps Digital Single, Launches Label?
By Tom Breihan on September 9, 2009 at 12:35 p.m. EDT
Well, Ryan Adams' break from the music world sure didn't last long. Back in January, Adams wrote a long post on his blog telling the world that he was getting ready to "step back now, to reel it in." That post has since been removed. In fact, the whole blog has been removed. When you go to Ryan Adams' website now, you end up on Ryanada.ms, which seems to announce, in a roundabout way, that Adams is all set to launch a new record label. (via TwentyFourBit)
Update: The Shins Not on Sub Pop!
By Tom Breihan on March 25, 2009 at 11:20 a.m. EDT
Photo by Akmal Naim
Some big news from Sub Pop: The Shins are no longer with the label. One of the world's biggest indie bands has parted ways with one of the world's biggest indie labels. A label rep says the band is working on new music, but they have no idea when it'll be out. It just won't be out on Sub Pop. More info when we get it.
As we reported yesterday, the Shins will tour in May.
UPDATE: Though we initially had information that seemed to indicate that the Shins had completely severed ties with Sub Pop, it now appears that the situation is actually similar to what we reported back in June 2008. Sub Pop clarifies that while the Shins' contract with them has expired, the band is currently on a "writing hiatus" and has not made any definitive plans about the future.
The Shins Starting Own Label for Next Album?
By Paul Thompson on June 30, 2008 at 12:42 a.m. EDT
Photo by Akmal Naim
Chances are, when you rush to your local record shop on some far-off Tuesday to pick up the Shins' fourth album, it will bear the mark of frontguy James Mercer's own Aural Apothecary imprint. And maybe not the logo of the band's longtime label Sub Pop.
Speaking with Billboard.com, Shins manager Ian Montone explained that the band is currently working on a new deal for their future recordings, and a possible new arrangement would "be more of a [pressing and distribution] deal than a traditional record deal." He added, "That partner could very well remain Sub Pop, who have done a remarkable job with the band and have a great staff of people who really love music."
Montone mentioned that the band are looking to gain ownership of the master recordings of their next album, as well as "team up with a label partner that will assist with additional marketing, radio, and various costs." They're looking to make the move in order to "have the best of all possible worlds -- control and ownership, as well as the ability to still partner with a label and take advantage of traditional infrastructure." Montone also hinted that Sub Pop may take up the digital rights for the release of the record, but ultimately, "the first goal is to make the record and see where that takes us."
However, the new Shins album might not even be the next Mercer-related disc to hit stores, if a recent chat with Blender.com is any indication. Mercer claims the Shins won't hit the studio until 2009, but in the meantime, he feels "like it would be good for me to create another thing, another band basically. It would be with other people, I just don't know who yet." Blender.com reports that Mercer's working on new material for said unknown new band. So hey, maybe you can be in a band with the guy from the Shins! Why not?

A wonderful hour-long interview with Henri Cartier-Bresson.
(via Erik Kim)
A wonderful hour-long interview with Henri Cartier-Bresson.
(via Erik Kim)
Here's what Henri Cartier-Bresson, the father of modern photojournalism, said about his concept of "The Decisive Moment" in an interview with The Washington Post in 1957:
Photography is not like painting. There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture. Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera.
That is the moment the photographer is creative. Oop! The Moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever. [#]
The phrase was taken from a quote by the 17th century Cardinal de Retz, who stated, "There is nothing in this world that does not have a decisive moment."
Image credit: A bit later after "the decisive moment" by AlexRK
If you go to Google Street View and type in "rue de londres, paris", you can visit the location where photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson captured his famous street photograph Behind the Gare St. Lazare in 1932. It's an ordinary location that became an iconic photograph through Cartier-Bresson's "decisive moment" style of photography. Cartier-Bresson notes,
There was a plank fence around some repairs behind the Gare Saint Lazare train station. I happened to be peeking through a gap in the fence with my camera at the moment the man jumped. The space between the planks was not entirely wide enough for my lens, which is the reason why the picture is cut off on the left.
If you know of any other iconic photo locations that can be revisited through Google Street View, leave a comment!
"rue de londres, paris" in Google Maps (via Erik Kim)
Behind the Gare St. Lazare is one of French photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson's best known photographs, and is frequently cited as an example of his "decisive moment" approach to photography. The photograph was made in 1932, but the oldest known print is dated 1946. That print will be sold at a Christie's auction on November 11th along with 100 other signed prints, and is expected to fetch up to ~$250,000.
(via Christies via Foto Actualidad)
Back in 2006, Flickr user André Rabelo submitted the above photograph to the group pool of DeleteMe!, a group whose members vote on photos to weed out any photos that aren't "incredible pictures, amazing, astonishing, perfect". Sadly, the photograph was very quickly removed by popular vote.

Here's a terrific 20-minute video that features Henri Cartier-Bresson — the father of modern photojournalism — talking about his views on photography and a selection of his amazing photographs. It's both educational and inspiring.
The decisive moment, it is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as the precise organization of forms which gives that event its proper expression.– Henri Cartier-Bresson
If only there was one of these videos for every famous historical photographer!

JavaScript library for integrating remoteStorage
Where to get help?
- Use the remoteStorage.js API docs
- See remotestorage.io for documentation, community forums, and links
- Get instant support via IRC in #remotestorage on Freenode
Running a local test server
To develop remoteStorage-enabled apps, you need to have a remoteStorage-compatible storage account. We recommend reStore for running a local test server. (Use the latest version from GitHub, not npm!)
You can also get an account with a hoster, or use one of the various other remoteStorage server implementations: get storage.
Which version to choose?
You can either use a stable release or the current HEAD build. Stable releases
can be found in release/.
Directories with a
-rcX suffix contain release candidates, which may be used
for testing but aren't necessarily "stable" releases.
contains a semi-current HEAD build. It is updated manually and irregularly. To
build an up-to-date version of all files, run
make all in the repository
Which build file to use for my app?
There are a number of different builds available:
- remotestorage.js - Contains all components of remotestorage.js for running in a browser.
- remotestorage.amd.js - The same as remotestorage.js, but wrapped for use with AMD loaders such as RequireJS. When using AMD, be aware of issues #709.
- remotestorage.min.js - Minified version of remotestorage.js
- remotestorage-nocache.js - A version without any caching features included. Use this if you want your app to write directly to the remote server without caching any data in the browser's storage (localStorage or IndexedDB).
- remotestorage-nocache.amd.js, remotestorage-nocache.min.js - same as the other .amd/.min build, but based on remotestorage-nocache.js.
For more information on using the AMD build(s) and its dependencies, see the AMD documentation.
$ bower install -S remotestorage
Node.js / NPM
$ npm install remotestoragejs
See our node.js documentation for more details.
Running tests

Siena and UAlbany basketball coverage
By Mark Singelais and Tim Wilkin
Siena leads 47-40 with 11:11 left
Siena has a string of six possessions that looked like this: Missed jumper. Missed 3. Missed 3. Missed 3. Missed 3. Turnover. Missed 3. Cornell didn't take advantage, though, missing three consecutive layups. Any one of the three would have cut Siena's advantage to two. Instead, some nice dribble penetration by Hasbrouck, who's scored Siena's […] [Read More]
Siena leads 41-34 early in the second half
Alex Franklin made the best play of the young season, grabbing a rebound and flipping the ball one-handed through the hoops as he drew a foul. Franklin made the free throw for a three-point play that put Siena ahead, 39-28. But the Big Red didn't fold. Siena hasn't scored in three possessions, which has Cornell […] [Read More]
UAlbany leads 38-29 at halftime
Junior forward Will Harris, playing with a sprained knee, has 13 points and seven rebounds as UAlbany holds a 38-29 halftime lead over Central Connecticut at SEFCU Arena. Sophomore guard Tim Ambrose and freshman guard Anthony Raffa have seven points each. The Great Danes went on a 15-2 run, including seven points from Harris and […] [Read More]
Siena up 30-26 at halftime
Nice finish to the half for the Saints, though they missed a chance to make it even better. First, Clarence Jackson sunk a 3-pointer from the wing that put Siena ahead, 30-26. That was Jackson's second 3 of the half. Ubiles hit a long jump shot on the next possession, and at the other end […] [Read More]
Siena ahead 22-20 with 3:59 left in half
Edwin Ubiles, who missed his first three shots, appears to have found some rhythm. He hit an elbow jumper to put Siena ahead, 20-18, and, on the next time up the court, finally got into the paint and finished with a nice spin move. Ubiles buried a long jump shot just ahead of the timeout […] [Read More]
Cornell leads 16-14 with 7:55 left in half
The shooting percentages are ugly – Siena is at 35 percent and Cornell at 37 percent. Cornell entered the bonus with 8:52 left in the half, much to the chagrin of the big crowd. Also, notice Kyle Downey running the point. [Read More]
Siena up 10-9 with 11:32 left
Was that Ronald Moore getting his pocket picked in transition? You don't see that happen too often. Actually, the Saints have committed four turnovers early in an unusually sloppy first half. The Saints' fouls are starting to pile up, too — five in the first eight and a half minutes. [Read More]
Cornell leads Siena, 4-2, after five minutes
Cornell started the game in a 2-3 zone that seems to be bothering Siena. The Saints needed 3 minutes, 59 seconds to score their first basket — a Ryan Rossiter layup in transition. Give the Big Red credit for keeping Edwin Ubiles and Kenny Hasbrouck out of the lanes. Neither has been able to get […] [Read More]

Legislative scorecards are used to evaluate elected public officials based on voting record. Some scorecards are created by political advocacy groups with a focus on specific issues, while others are developed by newspapers and are broad in scope. Scorecards are meant to be used as a tool for voters to have a quick picture of whether their views align with a particular legislator's record.
Because scorecards can be specific to particular issues or general to a state's legislative term, for example, each report should be considered on its own merits. Each entity that publishes these reports uses different methodologies and definitions for the terms used.
An overview for scorecards in all 50 states can be found on this page. To contribute to the list of Idaho scorecards, email suggestions to email@example.com.
Please see our writing guidelines if you would like to add results from an individual scorecard to this legislator's profile.
In 2013, the Idaho State Legislature was in session from January 7 through April 4.[4]
- Legislators are scored on their votes on bills "impacting economic freedom in the state."
In 2012, the Idaho State Legislature was in session from January 9 through March 29.[5]
- Legislators are scored on their stances on conservative issues.
Idaho Freedom Index
The Idaho Freedom Foundation, an Idaho-based, nonprofit educational research institute, released its "Idaho Freedom Index" in 2013. The index intended to show how Idaho legislators voted on the principles the Foundation seeks to promote. It measured each state legislator based on two tiers, which include whether legislators voted for or against bills that would create or eliminate government agencies, programs, and regulations, and bills that would impact the free market in a positive or negative way. Scores ranged from the highest possible score for members of the state Senate (194 points) and for members of the state House (180 points). A higher score indicated that the legislator voted more in favor of the values supported by the Foundation.[6] Meline received a score of -67 points in the 2013 index, ranking 60th out of 70 members of the Idaho House of Representatives that were evaluated for the study.

Upper Mid Range Kitchen Appliances
Hello all. I am starting our kitchen upgrade by determination of appliances first. That is key as I tweak the current kitchen design by opening up a tall double oven space on a corner that smacks you visually and physically, replacing it plus a gas cooktop with a 36" dual fuel range where the cooktop sits.
I am studying ventilation systems to aid this exchange. It looks like I will place a new 10" external squirrel cage centrifugal fan/blower system with back-flow fire damper and perhaps silencer in the attic/on the roof, keep the current two floor ducting, replace the current short side 32" and long side 52" galvanized ducting immediately above our old 42" vent hood (17" on the diagonal) with new galvanized stainless and update electricals from an infinite turn on switch to which ever matches the yet unchosen hood. All of this will cost a goodly amount, with labor probably at least 5K. Our old system 10" external fan/blower draws well. Rated at 960 cfms, lessoned by the turns in the ductwork, yet in our many years, never a problem with lack of draw or MUA (make up air) lack as we do not have a tight house. The problem is the infinite switch as I understand it. No longer common, but I will research that.
So, to stay in budget, what 36" dual fuel range, right to left swing 36" counter depth refrigerator (actually have about 6" more in the back space for it's venting) and 24" dishwasher do you recommend in upper mid price range which still delivers quality and warranty? I don't believe we need 22 BTU burners. I'd love to buy "Made in America" and keep it local, but realize this may not be compatible with my question and rightful needs in such an upgrade. Excluding ventilation, our appliance budget is about ~12k, +/-2k.
I know I want a Miele or Bausch dishwasher as I've disliked our KA due to noise for years, yet don't know a good model. My big change is from a Decor cooktop which has worked well and two very old, warn out Thermidor double ovens. Our KA side by side has been fair in performance and durability (a lot of plastic).
Green appliances defined as solid working and long lasting, in mid range budget. Is this even possible-built to last a decade with minimal servicing (baring a lemon), even cooking and refrigerating/freezing (in spite of only one compressor), and a great washing/quiet dishwasher?
Help me buy upper mid-range stainless appliances and stay in budget. Thank you in advance and please feel free to answer forthrightly.
Hello, I'll chime in on the Miele dishwasher...of the Futura series (newest), the Dimension seems to be the best bang for buck with features in terms of cost. The Classic is the entry level nd the Diamond I believe is the most expensive. We have two, a Dimension as our primary and a Classic for overflow. Love the both! Good luck!
Here is a link that might be useful: miele dishwashers
Have been reading up on German-engineered Bosch Dual Fuel Ranges, as on Chef Talk two chefs highlighted their build and amenities. I read here that the reach back to the controls are a drawback. Will search GWK forum for input.
American Range comes up too. When I go to their 36" dual fuel range spec link, nothing comes up. Wonder what's up with that.

The NYP published a picture of two men with backpacks saying they were being sought by the FBI for the marathon bombing. It was an attempt to scoop the rest of the media. But the two men in the picture were not really suspects. Oooops. In a similar attempt to get the story first Faux Noise (and CNN too) on air reporters claimed an arrest had been made for the bombing. Not so.
In the world of right wing nutbag radio M. Savage and G. Beck went on paranoid rants about government cover-ups and made all sorts of crazy accusations relating to the bombing incident. Naturally this did not have any negative impact on their credibility with the lunatic conservatives who listen to them since the truth never enters in to the equation for these people.
Right here on the good lod BMY board the resident nitwits failed to muster the courage to comment on beating's post regarding the findings of a bi-partisan commission who concluded the US tortured detainees and that Bush admin officials were responsible. Nor did they take up the challenge of starting a rational discussion on whether we have a gun violence problem in this country and if so why, and what can be done to reduce it.
Yet none of what I have mentioned is surprising. Right wing media being factually inaccurate and outlandish in their "reporting" happens every day. The nitwits on this board showing extraordinary cowardice and ignorance and the unwillingness to move beyond talking points to more closely examine the issues of the day........that is their M.O.
And speaking of cowardice, how about the senators who bowed to the pressure brought to bear by the NRA and filibustered the background check vote. If ever the complete corruption of Washington DC at the hands of lobbyists thwarting the will of the people was on displaying for all to see it was on that vote. My great hope is this inspires the public to action. Not only in pressuring their reps in government to vote in line with 90% of the population but more importanl
guess toast qualifies as a coward by his own measure!
Nitwit wants mandatory "background checks" of people wanting to buy a gun.
.So Nitwit. Specifically WHAT finding, in a lawful background "check" would disqualify a U.S. citizen from
purchasing a gun. What "information" would be included in a lawful background check that doesn't violate peoples' rights? Does your background include your parents' political and/or religious affiliations?
How about Your sexual orientation? How will the government know about your mental health and dependence upon drugs/medications/alcohoil? Will your race have any bearing? What about the nation or continent of origin of your grand or greatgrandparents? Will You be allowed to buy a gun if your
father was a convicted drug dealer? What if your auntie was a porn queen? Will it matter if You
live in a doublewide or inner city slum? Will the government deny you the right to buy a gun if You
rely upon foodstamps or medicare? Less
Google it, nitwit.
importantly mobilize in an effort to take back the government from the control of corporate money.

FOX 47 - Top Stories
MADISON, Wis. - The Wisconsin Assembly passed a constitutional amendment that would rework how state Supreme Court justices pick their leader.
The Wisconsin Constitution states that the justice with the most seniority is the chief justice. But the court's conservative majority has been chafing under the leadership of liberal-leaning Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson. Under the Republican-authored amendment, the justices would vote on a chief. That would allow the majority to oust Abrahamson.
Republicans say they want a more democratic process. Democrats counter the GOP wants to punish Abrahamson.
The state Senate approved the measure Tuesday. The Assembly passed it 62-34 Thursday, setting up a statewide referendum on the proposal as part of the April 7 election.
Abrahamson said in a statement the amendment would tarnish the constitution and threaten the court's independence.

First Class - Sacramento, CA
Dr. Kaniff is an artist. At my first consultation for cosmetic surgery, he listened. Then with a mirror he demonstrated what he saw could be done to improve my overall look.That was 1997 when I had a facelift, browlift, cheek implants and laser under the eyes. The end look was so natural my siblings in Il. said that Ca.kept me young. Today I see Dr. Kaniff for botox, fillers, etc. I trust him both for his skill and his honesty.

Complete Trust - Sacramento, CA
Two THUMPS UP for Dr. Kaniff. I have had lipo/facelift/necklift/chin implant/botox/ and injectibles done by Dr. Kaniff. Not only is he a skilled and experienced surgeon and fully board certified and professionally affiliated, his doctors' fees for surgery and lipo are extremely fair and reasonable. His staff is TOP NOTCH. I have complete trust in Dr. Kaniff--I've been his patient since 2002.

Great Results/Great Doctor - Sacramento, CA
I highly recommend Dr. Kaniff. I had a cheek and neck lift lsst year with excellent results. I also have had a Juvaderm Ultra treatment (a filler). I had interviewed other doctors prior to my first meeting with Dr.Kaniff. After that first meeting, my search was over. Dr. Kaniff is truly excellent.
Consultation review: Do Not Waste Your Time and Money Consulting with Doctor! - Sacramento, CA
This doctor is arrogant and the staff is the same. Especially the patient coordinator who is very snobby and does all the doctors imaging for consults? Don't waste your time in consulting with this doctor you will be very disappointed. I went with this doctor because I found him on real self and although he may be good with specific type of noses, I know he did not seem confident working on an ethnic nose and although he advertises to you use a "closed" approach he still used open approach.
5 out of 5 stars Rhinoplasty

He's simply the best. He made my nose look perfect.

Baby Break: Let's Stay Connected
I am going to take a brief maternity leave while I wait (as patiently as humanly possibly) for my second son to arrive. Today we are just days from his due date and I am trying to spend this time focused on my sweet family, my full studio, and any remaining moments in appreciation of the quiet I can still find for myself. Such anticipation. Such excitement. Such a very full heart.
I'm going to take a brief break from this beloved blog and plan to return here on Monday, April 20. Something tells me I'll have thoughts and inspirations and probably a stash of newborn baby photos to share. Don't be surprised if I pop in between now and then to tell you the sweet babe has finally arrived. Oh my. I have some fun workshops and book events lined up for late May and early June so I'll be sure to share the details when they're confirmed.
In the meantime, let's stay connected. You can join me here to receive big announcements, special offers, and seasonal updates of my studio happenings directly in your email inbox. I'll also keep posting intermittently on my new Facebook business page, Instagram, Pinterest, and Twitter as the inspiration strikes and my need to connect with the world takes over.
As always, thank you for joining me in this space. I'll see you soon with a new babe in my arms. Wish me luck, friends!

Modern Quilts: Bold and Unconventional Patchwork
All the fabrics use a two-tone design of either bright blue and white or dark gray and white. Simple. But I'm looking to several sources for my design inspiration. Choosing the fabrics is always the fun part: The moment when the design starts to come to fruition but the possibilities are still endless. And texture, color, and composition abound!
Then I let the fabrics dictate the quilt design this time. I reviewed my quilt boards on Pinterest, I took a longer look at the quilt I made for my first son just three years ago, I swooned over the Quilts of Gee's Bend once more, and then I came across this gorgeous book, Unconventional and Unexpected: American Quilts Below the Radar 1950- 2000.
I can't say enough good things about this book. It's SO good. It's filled with inspiring, unconventional quilt designs and wonderful interviews with leading textile artists and designers like Natalie Chanin. I keep going back to it again and again for added inspiration.
I've also been swooning over the latest interior design book by Mark & Sally Bailey, Imperfect Home. It speaks so clearly to my ongoing slow fashion project, Make Thrift Mend, and gives a boost of confidence to apply this slow design thinking to my home.
I have several of the Baileys' books, I love their sustainable and inspired approach to interior design, but this latest book is my absolute favorite. It embraces a wabi-sabi, handmade, imperfect approach to interior design and the results are bold and stunning. Their work is a constant inspiration for me in my studio.
So after spending some time with these two books I decided I wanted my quilt top to be bold, modern, and unconventional. I wanted it to somehow be in conversation with the quilt I made for my first son as they might someday share a room. But given my time constraints with my due date just two weeks away, I wanted it to be simple enough to finish soon. I also looked to Namoo Quilts and Carolyn Friedlander's quilts for modern inspiration.
Then I set some parameters: Same size as my first son's quilt (roughly 54" x 34"), complimentary colors to my son's, and like the first quilt I'd rely on a mostly horizontal composition of quilt strips. Then I let intuition take over and patched the fabrics together. I've sewn the quilt top together, selected the batting and backing, basted with pins, and now I'm deciding between machine quilting and hand stitching.The binding is always my favorite part: The final details before the quilt comes together and moves from my studio table to its rightful place in our home.
These moments of crafting and artmaking move my work forward. It doesn't matter if the work is for exhibition, publication, or for personal use in my home. It's the same. It's the moments when I'm able to look at the lineage of my craftsmanship; look for the deviations in concept or design; find a few modern mentors that inspire me to take new risks; but mostly I have to stay true to my original vision and while making the work get closer to what I had in mind.
I also ask a series of questions as I'm working: Does this feel right? Is this what I had in mind when I started? Can I make it simpler? Does it need all the parts? Am I gaining clarity? Does it look like me?
Of course, now I want to make a bigger quilt for our bed. I want to finish a vintage quilt top I found years ago and have stashed in my blanket chest. And someday, I'd like to dye my own fabric and make a Flying Geese quilt too. It's my favorite traditional quilt design. But for now, I'm just hoping to finish sewing this baby quilt before our tiny human arrives. Time is the main concern these days. Did I mention, I'm due in less than two weeks?!?

Our Home Tour and Feathering the Nest
At 36 weeks pregnant I have now officially started nesting. That's right: The urge to move furniture, wash baby clothes, and stack diapers is now fully upon me. This weekend I finished my last public events before my due date and something instantly triggered my brain to begin feathering the nest.
And this is a very good thing because I was starting to worry if this instinct was going to kick in at all with this second baby. With my first son I was dreaming up nursery colors as soon as I knew I was pregnant. Okay, maybe I was even dreaming about his baby quilt before I was pregnant. I confess.
With this second baby, I am just glad to have a few boxes of hand-me-down baby clothes, a co-sleeper at the ready, and a car seat on top of the dryer waiting to be installed. (I could already write a novel about the differences in approaching the birth of my first child versus my second--but I will spare you the details and just talk about the pretty parts like feathering the proverbial urban nest.)
A few months ago I was asked to send photos of my home to a book editor and so I spent an afternoon tidying the house and snapping some images. As I start to organize one corner of our small bedroom for the nursery area I am happy to have these images of our tidy apartment because I know the newborn baby storm is about to hit our beloved homestead in just a few weeks.
You know: The impossible piles of laundry, stacks of dishes, and random necessary baby goods all misplaced in a sleep deprived haze while the happy hormones of new parent love coat all the chaos in a rosy gaze of "who cares" until we start to put the pieces back together again. Oh, the piles. Oh, the swirl of exhaustion and wonderment. Oh, the anticipation of it all.
But for now I get to organize baby clothes, dream up a baby quilt, and still tuck my three-year-old's toys neatly back onto the tiny toy shelf while some order remains. People are often shocked that I share a 1.5 bedroom apartment with my family of three, soon-to-be four. Having lived in Brooklyn and now Oakland for more than a decade it's not that uncommon to raise a family in a very small space (particularly if that space is rent controlled and in a lovely neighborhood) but that's not to say it isn't also a challenge.
What's my secret? Determination. Like anything else, I find that my determination to stay in this apartment is what makes it work. We don't accrue large unnecessary toys, we keep our shared living space as orderly as parently possible while trying to maintain a sense of humor, and we regularly sell, trade, and donate household goods as we outgrow them.
Don't be fooled: I still dream of a farmhouse and a barn converted into art studios someday but for now? Our 650 square feet of urban bliss is just fine. The tiny house movement also adds inspiration to my small apartment on a regular basis.
I've reorganized my Pinterest boards and I'm seeking inspiration for what I've learned is called a "corner nursery". That's right, a corner nursery is a nice way of saying that the parents' bedroom will double as a nursery until the little one is ready for a room of his own.
I'm also finding so much inspiration that I'm pinning on Nursery Decor, Kids Rooms, and my Quilt boards as I design a quilt for this tiny human. It's funny, now somehow my son's bedroom (our converted walk-in closet) seems like a huge space for a nursery as I move our bedroom furniture around in a puzzle to make the co-sleeper and another dresser fit inside. Oh, perspective.
I still can't believe that I'll have another child in just about four weeks but at least now my nesting instincts have kicked in and it actually looks like a baby will join our home in the very near future. This is not yet an organized or pretty prediction of the human that is yet to come but at least the basics can be located in a moment's notice. Well, except for the diapers.
We still don't have one newborn diaper in our midst but I think I can remedy that in four weeks time. Let's be honest, first I want to design the quilt and then I'll tend to the diapers. Priorities, right?

Goodie Bags, Celebrations, and Past Lives
I am making goodie bags for this weekend's book events! Two different bags for two different events. At the book signing on Saturday at Bella Vita from 3-5pm I'll be offering free goodie bags to the first ten people to buy a book. These bags will contain most of the materials needed to make the Pretty Paper Garland project from my book, The Paper Playhouse.
The paper garlands are a good place for adults or kids to begin when making the projects in the book. And they only require a handful of materials and, well, most of the materials are rather pretty so I made these pretty packages for the first ten buyers on Saturday afternoon. Plus, it was fun to assemble!
The second set of gift bags are for The Paper Playhouse Craft Party at Handcraft Studio School on Sunday afternoon. I'm so excited for this event! This set includes an assortment of upcycled pretty papers, postcards, washi tape, pink felt hearts, felt balls, and other paper flotsam and jetsam. I think of this one more like an inspiration packet--meant to fuel the imagination when making any of the projects in the book.
Plus, again, it was just plain fun to assemble these bags with the book in mind. Folks who attend the craft party also receive a free copy of the book so I like to think they walk away with the whole kit and caboodle. Caboodle, is that a real word? I digress.
Oh, friends. I am so excited to share these book events with my local Oakland community. I hope you'll join me on Saturday or Sunday for a signed book, goodie bag, special snack, and some papery inspiration. This Sunday is my last public event before my due date in early March. That doesn't seem possible but, somehow, it's true.
Have a great week.
PS--Thank you to those of you who have purchased my book through my Etsy shop. I've finally restocked the shelves and will also have extra copies with me this weekend. Thank you!

Fun News: Book Signing & A Craft Party!
I'm so excited to announce that I've scheduled two upcoming book events in the East Bay for my new book, The Paper Playhouse. On Saturday, February 7 from 3-5pm I'll be signing books at the adorable women & children's boutique, Bella Vita, at their new location at 5511 College Avenue in Oakland--less than one block from the Rockridge BART.
This is one of my absolute favorite independent shops in Oakland and I'm thrilled to co-host this event in their beautiful space. I'll have books to buy, you can bring your books for me to sign, and I'll also have goodie bags for the first ten books sold. I'll bring a few original projects from the books too so folks can see the projects in-person. Drop by just to say hello if you're in the neighborhood--I'd love to see you.
I'll also be co-hosting a craft party on Sunday, February 8 from 2-4:30pm at the wonderful and welcoming Handcraft Studio School in Emeryville. I'm SO excited about this craft party. We'll make two projects from the book, we'll talk about sourcing and using up-cycled paper materials to make art, I'll answer any questions about the book, and each registered participant will also receive one signed copy of the book and a goodie bag filled with creative inspiration. This feels like such a wonderful way to celebrate the launch of my book and I'm thrilled that Handcraft Studio offered to host. This craft party is open to adults and kids over age 8. More details on the Handcraft website.
Oh my goodness--book launches and craft parties? Is this really happening now? It's been so wonderful to see some images of my book in fellow artists and parents houses and hands. Such a dream come true to watch the book make its way through the world and to hear feedback on how creative families are using the projects to make crafts. One mother even emailed to tell me that she couldn't get her little girl to bed the night the book arrived because she was so excited to make the projects the next morning. That might just be my favorite email ever. Of all time.
But it's a special level of excitement to host events that share the book with my local San Francisco Bay Area community. These are the only two book events currently scheduled until after May when I resurface from a brief maternity leave. So please join me if you can, my friends, I would be so honored to share these afternoons with you and my new book.

Workshops, Events, and Save-the-Dates
There are some fun dates coming up on my studio calendar and I want to share them with you. I'll be teaching two workshops in the next few weeks: Fundraising for Artists at the Kala Art Institute on Saturday, January 31 and Sashiko Mending at Handcraft Studio School on Sunday, January 25. (Unfortunately, the Sashiko Mending class is already sold out but I'll be teaching another this summer AND I'll be adding Sashiko mending kits to my Etsy shop in just a few weeks--stay tuned! The Sashiko classes fill up very quickly, so it's best to join my mailing list to be first in line.)
I'm also still lining up some book events for the first two weeks of February so stay tuned for the official news. (Psst... save the dates of February 7 in the afternoon for a book signing in Oakland and February 8 from 2-4:30 for a super special book party class in Emeryville! There's also a chance that Feb 15 might be another book event in the Bay Area but all of this is still unofficial until all the details are confirmed and I can publicly announce. Just save-the-dates for now, especially Feb 7 and Feb 8. So excited to share this book with my local Bay Area community!)
Lastly, I'm thrilled to be teaching in these first few months of the year before I welcome this new baby into the world in early March. I'll be offering classes online and in-person again after June 1 but will only be working from home and taking some quiet time with this new baby from March 1- June 1 so my classes and events will be scarce for a few months. I must admit, instead of teaching and organizing art events I plan to spend this spring falling madly and completely in love with a new human.

New Year, New Baby: Motherhood, Bravery, and Embrace
Happy New Year, my dear friends--
Do you want to know my biggest secret about 2015? We're expecting another baby boy on March 7! My goodness, yes. These photos are from our recent trip to Point Reyes just after Christmas. Another baby boy will enter our lives sometime in the early spring and we are over-the-moon excited to welcome this little life. Another boy. Two boys. Double the trains and trucks and trips to the playground. But, of course, I'm going to teach these little boys to knit and bake and sew when they are old enough too. My goodness, two little magical boys.
Life feels full. Physically and emotionally. If you had told me three years ago when I left my day job that I'd be sitting here in the first week of the New Year sharing my news of a second baby boy, thrilled with the announcement of my very first book, and with a stack of studio opportunities on my desk, well, I wouldn't believe you. I just wouldn't believe you. Because I was too afraid to admit that these are the things I wanted most.
But motherhood has made me braver. It's made me focus. It's made me realize that time is finite and nobody is going to come along and tap my head with a magical wand and suddenly make my dreams shift to reality. That's up to me. With heaps of hard work and rigorous focus. That's my job. And it's my job to dare to try. Like it's my job to dare to parent in the way I find most satisfying. Big things that keep all parents up at night and little things like making sure my boys know how to sew. It's up to me. I'm growing into this new version of myself where I'm actually in charge of my own life and the homestead for my little boy/s. It's a wonder. I didn't think I had it in me but it turns out... I do.
This little love will certainly turn our worlds upside down. And it's only through the past three years of motherhood that I can actually understand that I actually can NOT understand exactly what this will mean. That's right. It's only through the process of parenting a tiny human and witnessing and experiencing the changes in my own life that I can be humble and honest enough to admit that I have no idea how we are going to do this again. I will be changed in ways I cannot anticipate or yet understand.
The night feedings, the limited daycare, the lack of boundaries in home and work, the two parent freelance artist schedules, the meals, the budget, the naps, the tiny apartment we call home--it will all be pushed to the edges and then we will find our way through again. Somehow it will all settle in the way that it should. In the way that we need it to. It will shape us and shift us and expand us and shatter us and humble us and humor us and ultimately inspire us in ways I cannot currently comprehend. This much I am certain. This much fills my heart with such a swell that it nearly brings me to tears each time I imagine it. We will grow. We will expand. We will let even more love inside.
So I'm working furiously during every nap, every preschool day, making to do lists and checking them twice, filling my schedule as much as possible before the middle of February when I'll suddenly be full term. And I'll be heavy with a new baby. And I'll be physically slow. And full of anticipation. Oh my goodness. Baby number two.
I can only dream of the way this will change my life. I can only fantasize about the ways I will be chiseled and shaped and the ways in which my familiar heart will soon give sway. Truthfully, I'm sure I'll initially long for these days when it was just the three of us. When my little one was finally potty trained and sleeping through the night and bounding into preschool with his other tiny friends. When it felt familiar and ordinary and predictable too.
When I had time to sit down and make a to-do list and create new projects, new classes, new publications. But the difference is that this time I know those newborn days are fleeting. They are limited. They are tender. They are vulnerable and new. They will subside to infant days and toddler days and I imagine these toddler days subside to school kid days and then I can't imagine much further than that. I tip my hat to all the mamas and papas with children much older than mine. Good grief, how do we let them grow? How can we do anything else? I'm convinced our hearts just swell and swell and swell again. Parenthood, it's fierce.
We can only know what we know and we can only act on so much calculation before instinct and heart begin to steer. I'm sure this new human will coil around my cells with all the magic and promise and newness and complete and utter love that only comes with a new child. Of course, there are things I sometimes miss about my life before I was a mother: Long and leisurely weekend mornings, fancy cocktails in nice restaurants, leather shoes with actual heels, or long and complicated conversations over slow dinners. But mostly, I just miss having time to waste.
But these are just things. They are fleeting. They are passing. They did not ever define me or alter me or motivate me from the very deepest inside out. I wouldn't trade motherhood for anything in the world. I'm not sure I even need to say that but it's worth stating. I wouldn't trade motherhood for anything. Nothing. I can't even imagine. As a friend said to me about her daughter, "I couldn't image my life without her from the moment she was born." So true. And I can only imagine how this feeling will intensify with two. And I welcome that shift with open arms. Excited, nervous, busy, art mama arms. But open arms, nonetheless.
Welcome, 2015, I'm ready to embrace you. In all the magical and mystifying and maddening ways humanly possible. That's my word for 2015: Embrace. It seems this embracing will begin with a new book, a new baby, and a new silhouette of gratitude. Do you have a word or a guide or a mantra for 2015? I find it much simpler than an entire resolution. One word, one thought, one focus to carry me all the 365 days through.
Happy New Year, friends. Thanks for sharing this time with me. I look forward to new adventures in 2015.

Well it does look better than Sans. A tad sharper and neater.
I'm going to have to bump this; more people need to know.
Bless the Australians. Good stuff always comes from there.
Honestly, I actually like it.
Better alternative as it is sleeker.
I can tolerate it unlike Unmentionable…. (you know what I mean).
But I liked Comic Sans

Welcome to the Friends of Crowell Hilaka
Crowell Hilaka of Richfield, Ohio, is 336 acres of winding streams, lakes, and wooded uplands. It was farmed by the pioneer Oviatt family, and then became the estate of inventor Jim Kirby. During the 1920s, Kirby constructed a patented lake, a mill to generate electric power, a house air-conditioned with spring water, and a dance hall built on springs. Upstream, the Neals built their fairy tale mansions. Operated as a Cleveland Girl Scout camp for over 70 years, the property is now being sold. FoCH is delighted that the Richfield Joint Recreation District has been formed to conserve the land, and the Bond and Levy Issue has passed through the support of the citizens of Richfield, to fund the purchase and improvements of the property. The use, the look, and even the name "Crowell Hilaka" may change, but the volunteers of FoCH believe we will continue to have a role in the preservation of this property as it enters it next era in history.
Friends of Crowell Hilaka ( FoCH ) supports the preservation of this land as a public access recreational and educational destination. Public access not available at this time
Upcoming Events
NEXT FoCH MEETING
March 10th, 7:00pm Richfield Historical Society. Click here for details.
Treat your Cabin Fever at Crowell Hilaka! Come visit or help us do some fixing up of the property! Saturday, March 21st, 10-4, and Sunday, March 22nd, 11-4.
