Quilts for a cause
Fashion and Fabric students doing needlework for the needy
Students in Mrs. Segal's Fashion and Fiber class are not only learning how to
quilt, but about teamwork and community service as well.
Over the next two weeks, students will be making quilts for
those affected by the recent storms and flooding or otherwise in need.
"It's not only really fun, but it feels great to help out,"
said Lauren Zemering, a junior in Mrs. Segal's class.
Mrs. Segal said she came up with the project as a way to
instill a sense of community and volunteerism in her students.
"I wanted my Fashion and Fiber students to be part of
something that was a community effort and reached out to others," she said.
"They've learned teamwork, collaboration and that volunteer work is extremely
And it's not just Mrs. Segal that has set the example.
Numerous individuals and businesses throughout the community have donated fabric
and materials, and several parents have helped as well.
"This is a great project and I'll help out as often as I
can," said Lois Halek, who joined her daughter Amanda in the class Thursday
afternoon, Oct. 27.
Mrs. Segal emphasized the fact that the students were
randomly placed in their groups, so new relationships were forged.
"They've worked with people they may not have worked with
before and at the end they're going to take pride in what they've done, how they
did it, and the fact that what they've made is helping someone out," she said.
The sense of community isn't lost on the students.
"The volunteers and
donations have made it more of a community thing than a class thing," said
"It's unique because we're using the skills we're learning
to actually help people in need," said Elisabeth Pritchett.
This was reiterated by Mary Kate McDonough. "We're very
fortunate to be able to help people who may not be as fortunate as we are or who
have lost things in the recent storms."
Mrs. Segal said she wanted to extend her appreciation to
those who have helped, including math teacher Andrea Turner and guidance
counselor Joann Honeywell. Businesses like JoAnn Fabrics in Colonie and The
Quilter's Studio in Clarksville have also helped tremendously, she said.
"Really, the list is a long one," said Mrs. Segal. "Even
teachers from other school districts have helped out."
If anyone is interested in donating material or time,
contact Mrs. Segal at

Garrett and Heather love standup paddleboarding so much that it's not unusual to see them paddling past ice floes. Because of this love, the North Shore SUP instructors seek to draw a broad range others to the sport as well with a variety of paddleboarding classes. Beginners can opt for intro-level instruction, and adventurous types can try standup-paddleboard yoga. Paddle with Your Kids sessions give parents and children more pleasant quality time outdoors than rewriting favorite bedtime stories into fallen snow. Those interested in rentals can take regular or inflatable boards by the hour or day and can ask Garrett and Heather about the best local standup-paddleboarding spots.
Eden Guides is in the business of life-changing experiences. Its team of outdoor enthusiasts takes people on voyages and expeditions up mountains, under coral reef ecosystems, and to locations in need of humanitarian aid. Recent trips have offered a chance to safari on the Serengeti and view the migration of more than 500,000 gazelle and zebra or scale two of Mexico's highest peaks, the volcanoes El Pico de Orizaba and Iztaccihuatl. Closer to home, courses on outdoor skills, led by guides with certifications from the American Mountain Guides Association and as wilderness EMTs and first responders. Leave-no-trace, backcountry cuisine, and intro to backpacking classes all ensure that hikers and climbers know how to survive in the wild without needing to barter with the local bears.
McQuoid's Inn is, as its motto says, a "place for all seasons." Cabins and condos—some of which can accommodate up to 12 guests—are equipped with outdoor fire pits for the warmer months and indoor fireplaces for the cold ones. Year-round activities include fishing in the summer and ice fishing in the winter; expert guides are on hand to take you to the best spots. Depending on the season, canoe and snowmobile rentals are also available.
Masters of all-season fishing and camping, Fishermen's Wharf Resort splashes the calm waters of Mille Lacs Lake with winter and summer activities. Situated on 90 acres of land on the southeastern shore's Big Point, Fishermen's Wharf rests in a protected harbor on a sandy, scorpion-free beach. From this point, it launches chartered fishing trips in the summer and rents ice fishing cabins in the winter.
During chartered fishing trips, guides lead groups across Mille Lacs in search of walleye, Bass, Northern Pike, and Loch Ness monsters. They also explain the seasonal movements of the fish, how to select the best tackle, and how to use electronic detection equipment. Once the lake has frozen over, ice fishing cabins rest on fishing spots where fish are known to congregate and watch humans hold sticks. The cabins feature nine fishing holes, 6 bunk beds, bathrooms, an underwater camera, a TV, DVD player, and microwave oven. Throughout the year, RV camping spots invite visitors to spend a night in rustic surroundings, while an on-site restaurant serves warm meals in full view of the lake.
Gander Mountain Academy updates its lessons in gun safety, handling, and marksmanship with virtual shooting technology that was once only available to military and law-enforcement agencies. The ladies-only basic fundamentals class gives women a foundation in the mechanics of handguns and how to use them safely. Students start by winnowing down the right type of gun for their needs, be they self-defense, hunting, or reclaiming the garage from infestations of gremlins. Next, instructors with callused trigger fingers explain the safety rules of handguns, compare ammunition options, and demonstrate proper grip, stance, and trigger control.

"The undiscovered country form whose born no traveler returns."
William Shakespeare
"Physically you are a human being, but mentally you are incomplete. Given that we have this physical human form, we must safeguard our mental capacity for judgment. For that, we cannot take out insurance; the insurance company is within: self-discipline, self-awareness, and a clear realization of the disadvantages of anger and the positive effects of kindness."
Dalai Lama
"Childhood is not only the childhood we really had but also the impressions we formed of it in our adolescence and maturity. That is why childhood seems so long. Probably every period of life is multiplied by our reflections upon the next."
Cesare Pavese
"There are three forms of visual art: Painting is art to look at, sculpture is art you can walk around, and architecture is art you can walk through"
Dan Rice
"Autobiography is probably the most respectable form of lying."
Humphrey Carpenter
"Cruelty has a human heart, And jealousy a human face Terror, the human form divine, And secrecy, the human dress"
William Blake
"I think that making love is the best form of exercise"
Cary Grant
"Of all the forms of injustice, that is the most egregious which makes the circumstances of sex a reason for excluding one half of mankind from all those paths which lead to usefulness and honor"
Charles Brockden Brown
"If A equals success, then the formula is A equals X plus Y and Z, with X being work, Y play, and Z keeping your mouth shut."

Won't happen this yr obviously, but will Stoops move the home UL game back to the first game slot or leave it where it's at? Considering the fearlessness that he's attacked recruiting, I can see him moving it back knowing we'll have that opening weekend exposure that comes with it.
hoptownukfan said...
I'd add the caveat that we cancel it after the next time we beat them.
Why would you want to cancel the series? Because you can't handle the truth and the fact that Louisville is a much better football program? So.....you're saying your scared to play us? If you want to cancel the series after your next win then you're basically saying keep the series for the next 10-15 years right?
For those UK fans that say we should drop the series, I ask you why? Is it because you are afraid of losing to ul? If that's the case then why don't you ask Mitch to move us to the Big East? I mean if you're afraid to play ul you must be afraid of SEC teams, right?
It's a great series for the fans and the entire state. It should not be cancelled.
jamccain said...
Cancel the series... I hate playing them. Helps them, hurts us.
Disagree - I love playing them. Want to stomp the living crap out of them every single year.
I also prefer it as the first game. Football buzz all summer long. Something to talk about in the offseason that is called Baseball.
Tard fans...nobody is scared of you. Enjoy your "golden era"...it's almost over. The last decade of Card football will soon be seen as it's high water mark.
I would like to drop them because it helps U of L and hurts UK. It's a no-win for UK. I love beating them, but hate hate hate losing to them. It's not worth the damage to my blood pressure to play them. I am not scared of them and know all things being equal we will beat them 2/3 of the time. The SEC vs. whatever conference they end up in gap will mean we beat them even more as time goes on.
One thing I wouldn't mind is playing them every third year. Doing so would allow us to add some diversity to our OOC schedule. Playing U of L EVERY single year seems stale to me. I would like to mix in another team or two into that.
One idea I like is to set up our OOC schedule to include a rotation of state schools: U of L, WKU, and Murray. Play one of these each year. So, you would play each one every three years.
For second and third OOC games play whoever...Kent St., Ohio U., etc. (this will be one OOC game a year soon when the SEC goes to the inevitable nine game schedule)
For the last OOC game play a low tier BCS opponent, or high level non-BCS school who is a basketball school or something like that...Duke, North Carolina, Indiana, Memphis, Houston, SMU, CFU
If we aren't going to play top tier OOC games at least give us a little variety.
NOBODY is scared of playing UL. I would prefer we play them the very last game of the regular season. I hate that we play UT the last game every year. I'd much rather play UL, imagine the fanaticism of that game if it kept one team from going to a potential bowl game or playoff.... CrAzY excitement.
The reason many fans want the series dropped is because it doesn't benefit UK win or lose. When we win we are supposed to. If we lose then it's how did you lose to little brother? They also want that extra game available to be a home game every year or possibly get another BCS school that is in a high recruiting priority area to rotate in. It has absolutely, positively not a damned thing to do with fearing anyone, lest of all a bunch of pansy, cross-dressing, free-loading, snitches from the ghetto trailer park that is the 'ville.
I think it helps the state to maintain the series in some fashion.

A.Bill Palmer, former editor of Concrete Construction and the president of Complete Construction Consultants in Lyons, Colo., responds: There are several ways to build climbing walls. John McGowan, president of Eldorado Climbing Walls (303/447-0512, eldowalls.com) in Boulder, Colo., says glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) panels are the best solution for realistic-looking rock walls.
His company casts GFRC panels in 6-foot-by-6-foot silicone molds made from imprints of actual rockfaces. During wall assembly, embedded steel plates within each panel are welded to a structural steel frame. The seams between the panels are reinforced with steel, then filled with GFRC sculpted to match the panels. Bolt holes fitted with tee nuts are placed in each panel to accommodate urethane handholds, which can be altered as needed to allow variations in climbing routes.
Climbing walls can also be made from OSB, then coated with a stonelike polymer concrete texture coat; or from molded fiberglass panels. These materials offer more climbing flexibility but look less like natural stone.
Finally, climbing walls can be constructed from shotcrete on steel lath, although they must be carved on the spot, a process that takes considerable experience and craftsmanship.
No matter what technique is used, it's best to leave the design and construction of climbing walls to experienced companies. Safety and liability are obvious issues, but even details like the size of the landing zone at the foot of the wall and the placement of handholds require careful planning. Companies like Eldorado make predesigned walls that can be installed by a builder; to find them — or get more information about climbing walls in general — contact the Climbing Wall Association (720/838-8284, climbingwallindustry.org)

"The brain is a monstrous, beautiful mess. Its billions of nerve cells-called neurons-lie in a tangled web that displays cognitive powers far exceeding any of the silicon machines we have built to mimic it." - William F. Allman
The goal of the Neurology Interest Group is to provide a forum where anyone interested in the fascinating field of neurology can learn about the many amazing things involving our three pound gem. The intent is to unite and educate students and those interested in the field of neurology through the utilization of research, publications, interviews, etc. As the founding father of neurosurgery Dr. Harvey Cushing stated, "A physician is obligated to consider more than a diseased organ, more even than the whole man - he must view the man in his world." The aim is to establish a united community under the common goal of educating one's self not just in the fundamental field of neurology, but the essential effects it has on the patients we as students will inevitably be treating.

Wakefield Municipal Gas & Light Department, North Avenue, 1940
Dublin Core
Wakefield Municipal Gas & Light Department, North Avenue, 1940
Wakefield (Mass.) -- History -- Pictorial works.
Photo courtesy of Wakefield Item Company.
"The Town of Wakefield's municipal gas and light plant has operated from this location on Railroad Avenue (now North Avenue) since the community purchased the land, plant and manufacturing operations from the Citizens' Gas and Light Company in 1894. Gas was manufactured and stored in a gas holder at the facility until December 11, 1926 when the community began receiving gas from the Malden and Melrose Gas Light Company. This decision was reached by Town Meeting after 21 months of study and a series of close votes. During World War II, a Wakefield Salvage Committee was created after Governor Saltonstall asked each motorist to turn in old license plates and each community to begin collecting scrap metal, paper and rubber to supplement the raw materials needed for defense. Through a town drive in 1942, Wakefield residents collected 50 tons of scrap metal at the DPW yard. The following year, the MGLD dismantled the huge gray gasometer which had not been in use since 1926, and turned in more than 78 tons of metal for war salvage. Town Meeting voted in the early 1950's to erect a new building at the North Avenue site to replace the original structures. This involved the removal of all buildings. More than 40 tons of buried iron and steel were also removed when the buildings were dismantled. The following year, 1952, natural gas replaced manufactured gas, and in 1993, the Wakefield MGLD began fueling some of its converted vehicles with compressed natural gas at the North Avenue station." -- Text from calendar by Jayne M.

Dunhill will be selling 20 limited edition signed prints of this piece of urban art exclusively on Dunhill.com.

I would love to paint my standard vinyl french doors black or dark blue. How would this look with the white mullions/grills? Do you think I could pull it off if they were still white? If so, what kind of paint would you recommend for this type of surface?
Painting your French doors black would look really striking, and a lot of House & Home spaces sport that look. (I just did it in my place and it looks amazing! The wall around the doors is white.)
As for the mullions, if you can paint them, do, but if they're the type that are embedded in the glass, design editor Joel Bray thinks it would be okay to leave them white. Just be sure to keep the moulding/frame immediately around the mullions white if this is the case, and then paint the rest of the door black.
Mrs. Peacock has some good points about the paint -- I wish I had gotten mine professionally done as it was tricky and I got some primer on the weatherstripping, etc. I'd talk to your local paint store about the best product for the job.
Post a photo once it's done!
Personally, I would not leave the mullions white. You need to paint the whole door. You also will need a paint that will stick to vinyl. My suggestion is to take the down and tape off the windows (glass) part and then spray paint the door with Kylon Fusion Paint. It is a paint made for plastic, etc. Not sure of any other brand out there that will work. Keep in mind, that just like paint on a wooden door, it will wear in the high traffic spots such as around the door handle, across the bottom from kicking the door, etc. You could also look into having the door professionally painted.

EU Policy
The EU policy section provides an overview of EU policy to address trafficking in human beings. It contains information from the European Commission, the European Parliament and other EU institutions and agencies.
The European Union's policy for addressing trafficking in human beings is comprehensive focusing on prevention, protection of victims, prosecution of criminals, and the developing partnerships with the various actors involved. This approach is human rights based, victims centred, gender specific and child sensitive.
This approach is reflected in the EU Directive on preventing and combating trafficking in human beings and protecting its victims of 5 of April 2011 (which replaces the 2002 framework decision).This Directive brings robust provisions on victim's protection, including national mechanisms for early identification and assistance of victims and supports the principle of non-punishment and unconditional assistance. It also obliges Member States to appoint National Rapporteurs or Equivalent Mechanisms.
An important policy instrument that follows from the Directive on trafficking is the EU Strategy towards the eradication of trafficking in human beings 2012-2016. The Strategy expands on issues identified in the Directive and is consistent with its comprehensive approach. It focuses, therefore, on prevention, protection, prosecution and partnerships and also on ways to increase knowledge on emerging concerns related to trafficking in human beings.

The Los Angeles Clippers got two gigantic road monkeys off their back in the last week, and won four of five games to maintain supremacy in the Pacific Division. The Clippers snapped a nine-game losing streak in Denver and ended a 16-game skid in Utah, and in between beat the Oklahoma City Thunder, the team with the best record in the NBA.
The Clippers hold a game and a half lead over the Los Angeles Lakers, as the two teams have established themselves as the only two teams in the division with any playoff aspirations.

Kill 'Em With Kindness: How To Work With A Micromanager
10:45 am, March 27th | by Laura Donovan
As much as I hate to admit it, I'm a classic case of Youngest Sibling Syndrome. I march to my own drum, am emotionally driven, and worry my older brothers with my impulsive nature. Because I am the runt of the pack, I'd probably deny all of the above if confronted about my irreverent streak. With this in mind, you can imagine I wouldn't do well under a micromanager, but the reality is that I'm bound to encounter one during my career. I've been pretty lucky thus far, but I'm only 23. As my brother Kevin would warn, "just you wait."
It's quite possible to survive with an overbearing supervisor, even if you're free-spirited like me. Once you understand your boss's thought process and expectations, you'll know how to keep him/her satisfied — and out of your hair. Unfortunately, micromanagers have the ability to hurt more than just your feelings: Research shows they can also stunt your productivity and lower office morale. Because my own experience in the matter was brief (but substantial), I've consulted some experts on dealing with micromanagers, so follow my tips below before you lose your temper, sanity, or will to work thanks to your succubus boss.

I don't necessarily love Adam LaRoche. Or LaLove him, for that matter. Sure, I'd like him more if he slept with a groupie then screamed, "And that's how you screw LaPooch!" But I have no way of knowing that, and thinking of LaRoche having groupies is like thinking people actually buy John Tesh CDs. Though I do enjoy La Bouche — want to be my lover, be my lover! LaRoche reminds me of the guy you have on your team that you're looking to drop all season long for anyone that's hot, but still gives you 25 homers and passable counting stats. Strike that, he doesn't remind me of that guy. He is that guy. Are you gonna wake up one morning and say to yourself, "I may have been fired, can't make my mortgage payment this month and have yellow pits on my favorite t-shirt, but I own LaRoche… Today's gonna be a good day!" Nah, son, shizz ain't gonna be that sunny, but he's hitting and healthy and should be owned. Anyway, here's some more players to buy or sell this week in fantasy baseball:
Hector Santiago – On the podcast the other day, I distinctly remember saying (in my high-pitched Jersey accent that actually makes dogs howl) that Addison Reed would end up with more saves than Santiago this year. Well, la dee whatever, right now you should own Santiago.
Please, blog, may I have some more?

Golf is an open exhibition of overweening ambition, courage deflated by stupidity, skill scoured by a whiff of arrogance
Alistair Cooke
Reverse every natural instinct and do the opposite of what you are inclined to do, and you will probably come very close to having a perfect golf swing
Ben Hogan
Golf can best be defined as an endless series of tragedies obscured by an occasional miracle
Golf has more rules than any other game, because golf has more cheaters than any other game
Bruce Lansky
After all these years, it's still embarrassing for me to play on the American golf tour. Like the time I asked my caddie for a sand wedge and he came back ten minutes later with a ham on rye
Chi Chi Rodriguez
I guess there is nothing that will get your mind off everything like golf will. I have never been depressed enough to take up the game, but they say you can get so sore at yourself that you forget to hate you enemies.

Two-thirds of the world's infrastructure is privately owned, but much of the rest belongs to U.S. cities, counties, and states.
In fact, the world's 500 largest infrastructure owners include 34 states, eight cities, and two counties. California, Florida, New York, North Carolina, and Texas each own more than all branches of the U.S. military except the Army, as does New York City, New York City Transit (subays and buses), and the city's Metropolitan Transportation Authority (commuter rail).
At $283 billion the U.S. government heads the list, which ultimately totals $13 trillion worldwide.
Using published financial statements and third-party research, software developer Bentley Systems Inc. compiled the list based on cumulate net investment as measured by reported net tangible fixed assets over the last three years. Values are assessed net of depreciation and amortization and calculated to exclude whenever possible assets, such as equipment, furniture, and software, that aren't infrastructure.
Not surprisingly, U.S. oil and telecommunications companies such as Exxon Mobil Corp., Chevron Corp., Conocophillips, AT&T Inc., and Verizon Communications Inc., were among the top 50.

The national bee won't be the first time Elizabeth has faced stiff competition. She has competed in school and county spelling bees since she was in fourth grade, but this year was the first time she made it to the Gazette-Mail Regional Spelling Bee.
"We have some tough spellers in Raleigh County," she said.
No kidding. Raleigh County students have taken the championship in seven of the last 10 regional bees. Elizabeth placed third in Raleigh County's bee last year behind her brother, who was runner-up. The county's winner, Erin Mills, went on to win the 2010 regional bee. Matthew also was eligible to compete and placed second.
Now it's Elizabeth's turn in the national spotlight. Although she's nervous about the competition, she said she still would enjoy her trip.
"I'm just looking forward to the experience of going to D.C.," she said.
Bee organizers have planned a Memorial Day cookout for spellers and their families on Monday. Contestants will tour the nation's capital on Friday.
"And, of course, there's an awards ceremony," Elizabeth said.
Elizabeth is involved in dance and martial arts and is a member of her school's 4-H club and student council. She's a straight-A student, and her favorite subjects are math and science. She plays piano and violin, and she recently made her stage debut with a small part in a school play.
"I just did it for fun. It's called 'After Hours.' It's about mannequins coming to life," she said.
Spellers aren't allowed to compete in regional bees if they've previously won the national competition. Elizabeth is hoping to place first next week, but if she doesn't, she'll definitely try to make the regional bee next year.
"You learn so many new things, experience so many new experiences. You get to meet a lot of new people and a lot of new words," she said.
The national bee begins Monday with a written test, the first round of competition.
Rounds two and three begin at 8 a.m. Wednesday. They will be televised on ESPN3. The bee's semifinal rounds will begin at 10 a.m. Thursday and will be shown on ESPN.
The championship finals also will be shown on ESPN starting at 8:30 p.m. Thursday.

This is a non-wheat recipe similar to tabouleh. The quinoa is substituted for the bulgar. Cooked quinoa is lighter and fluffier than bulgar and personally I think it tastes better. It's lovely as a bed for grilled snapper or lamb. You can vary the ingredients used to your taste preference. Quinoa is gluten-free and can be used wherever tabouleh would be or in place of cous cous. Modern Middle Eastern flavours

Mack Driving Skills Safety Challenge
Second place individual: Todd Stephens, Stephens Delivery Inc., New Berlin, Wis.
First place team: Brian Rost, David Doolittle, Rost Ready Mix, Marshfield, Mo.
Third place individual: Julie Stephens, Stephens Delivery Inc., New Berlin, Wis.
Second place team: Brent Saionz, Brian Saionz, Simon Excavating, Fremont, Ohio
Third place team: Phil Kauffman, Kauffman Concrete, Iva, S.C.; Lyle Wingard, Hershberger Construction, Delta, Colo.
Competitors from previous years returned and first-time challengers lined up to compete in the Mack Driving Skills Challenge.
In this popular event, Mack sets up a course with six "problems," or situations encountered in everyday driving.
"This is my third World of Concrete and my second try at the Mack Challenge," said Ben Ketola, of Laser Pro Foundations, Rindge, N.H. "I think I rushed through a bit too fast, so I'll probably wind up in the middle of the pack. Know where the front and back of the truck are. You can visualize it and know your boundaries."
The competition was close. Paul Dauphinais, of Dauphinais Concrete, Sutton, Mass., grew up in the business his father started in 1932. He drove his first yard truck in 1959 and got in the business full time in 1969 with a chauffer's license before there were CDLs. "It's pretty realistic except it wasn't on rough terrain," he said. "I missed pulling up to the finish line. Otherwise, they told me I had a perfect score." But that one miss kept Dauphinais from placing.
Not pictured: First place individual: Joseph Milburn, Canadian Ready Mix, Hamilton, Ont.
