Re: What Went Right? What Went Wrong: Skins Game.
Right: Halftime defense adjustments.
Wrong: Williamson has to make those catches, huge momentum killers.
Unexpected: The amount of emotion Brad Johnson displayed after his TD pass."Puntalee-wuntalee, yesiree-bob!"
Re: What Went Right? What Went Wrong: Skins Game.
WRONG: Williamson..thats just horrible..you cannot catch a deep ball with your body you schmuck..the other one, i just dont know what on earth he was doing missing a routine 10 & out pass that was perfectly thrown..JUST USE YOUR DAMN HANDS!
RIGHT: Williamson when he actually caught the ball..anything Brad Johson did..the protection the O-Line provided for Brad was superb, i only remember him being hurried once or twicePeople who see life as anything more than pure entertainment are missing the point.
Re: What Went Right? What Went Wrong: Skins Game.
Right: They won the game. Brad JOhnson was impressive.
Wrong: Too many stupid penalties,
Williamson needs to catch those passes, Running game needs to improve.
Re: What Went Right? What Went Wrong: Skins Game.
Right: WIllingness to run the ball. Offense came through in 3rd downs. The wideouts were open often. Brad Johnson looked very, very sharp out there. Excellent pass protection. NO TURNOVERS
Wrong: The Williamson drops. Pass rush was weak. Botched PAT.

Re: What Went Right? What Went Wrong: Skins Game.
I liked the show of character.
1. Kluwe botched the first hold. Kept it together and executed for rest of game.
2. Troy dropped two catches. Made up for it with crucial 3rd down conversion in 4th quarter.
3. 8 penalties in first half. Just 1 in second.
4. Down by 4 at half time. Not panic and pull out win in second half.
Nice, solid, play.Halo 4. Start another fight.

Re: What Went Right? What Went Wrong: Skins Game.
I really like the balance.
The defense may not have been dominant but they came through when they had to.
Penalties after we stop a 3rd down killed us.
Troy was shaky.
He did okay but those 2 drops were dreadful.
For those of you that thought BJ couldn't air it out, hopefully there is no question anymore.
The question is will TW hang on to it?
He would have thrown for 300 yards if it weren't for drops.
I love his ambidextrous passing game.
All in all I'm happy with the win.
Smoot had a good game.
Napo made me eat a little crow although I think I would still want Edwards.
Leber was solid.
Taylor I thought did a good job.
He would have had more that 100 yards rushing if it weren't for a couple of penalties.
Hutch is a beast.
Re: What Went Right? What Went Wrong: Skins Game.
The Vikings will learn if Williams can be the guy at the WR position in th egames to come.
He may be a Bennett mascaraiding in the WR position.
He made some nice plays tonight......but burleson makes the catches he droppped.
Speed is one thing...cathcing the football is another.
But BJ played great. He is reaching his peak.
I think we see great QB play this year, similar to Tommy Kramer's comeback player of the year campaingn in 1986.
I also think the D-fense played great - just a great team effort on the road.
Viking teams of the past got soft in the red zone, this team gets stronger.
Re: What Went Right? What Went Wrong: Skins Game.
things that worked
1. B.j's control of the game.. he knows when to throw away, when to check down, and when to go.. though one time he aired it for no reason into triple coverage.
2. our line dominence.. we were contsantly squeezing in the pocket of washington, and brad had time to get things goin..
3. our D got better as the game went on.. i like this trend!!
4. Troy getting
Things i'd like to see improve.
1. our devotion to penelties.. the first half were some stupid ones.. we cooled it down in the second.
2. T.will grabben anything near him!! he's getting better and better.. this is one of the last hurdles.
3. wiggens 2 get more involved.. (i'm sure though there are packaged plays they are working on per team)
4. our special teams coverage.. needs to get more sure of itself.
other then that.. i think we did a great job against a solid team.. wait till we face detroit or gb!!!

Re: What Went Right? What Went Wrong: Skins Game.
Before the game i was getting ready to see our d-line dominate the O-Line on passing plays and wondering about how many sacks we would get tonight. But we didnt seem to get that big of a pass rush at all especially for what was advertised. Does Washington have that good of an Oline?

Re: What Went Right? What Went Wrong: Skins Game.
Wrong/Right: Honestly i thought the play calling was kinda bad at times, I don't blame Taylor for his 2.8 yards a carry, we really ran some runs at bonehead times. But like Childress said its not the Quality its the quantity, the redskins defense looked BEAT.
Of course Troy, not good dropping those balls but man is he a weapon, he's tough to gaurd for a CB, he's got such great speed and quickness out of his cuts, i paused my tivo at one point and they had the ball snapped and in the hands of TW for a first down in 2.5 seconds. He's a target and bottom line is he gets open alot, he's very hard to gaurd.
Steve, Birk... all of them, beastly job it looked as if he totaly swapped offensive lines with the Seahawks of last year.
LB's, EJ and Nappo played exalent football, i'm super exited for nappo he had a real nice game and i was his biggest critict. Mad props to him. EJ, what can u say a physical presence and always swarming to the ball. He was on one blitz in the second quarter where he whiped out Ladell Betts, just ran him straight over. They look physical and fast, Napo is huge and strong.
Fred Smoot played his best football game as a viking, nice to see that, espacially just two weeks off bruised ribs. Pat Williams played well also, ray edwards deserves a mention.
All in all pretty good performance, i felt we had control over the whole game, the stupid penalties and dropped passes could have cost us the game but i don't see it happening on a weekly basis.
Oh yeah and Longwell kept his composure after missing one FG and punched the last one in.

Thousands sign petition against separation of St Anthony's Hospital and St Raphael's Hospice in North Cheam
Updated 12:25pm Monday 25th November 2013 in News By Sophia Sleigh, Chief Reporter
More than 7,000 people have signed a petition asking the Vatican to stop a group of nuns separating St Raphael's Hospice and its neighbouring hospital, St Anthony's.
On Wednesday evening Paul Burstow, the MP for Sutton and Cheam, presented his petition to Parliament to stop the Daughters of the Cross selling St Anthony's Hospital, in North Cheam, and to create a new Catholic charity which could continue to include both the hospital and hospice.
Paul Burstow, MP for Sutton and Cheam, with fundraisers
Mr Burstow and other campaigners are concerned about the uncertainty the sale of St Anthony's will cause for the hospice as it provides about £1m worth of services for free and it is unclear if it is taken over by a private organisation it will provide the same assistance.
The trustees of St Raphael's have started pressing ahead with the separation of both services by advertising multiple jobs on their website. This includes a new chief executive at £90,000 a year because currently the post is shared between the hospice and hospital.
It is understood the Daughters of the cross intend to decide a buyer for St Anthony's Hospital next month and will then have get approval from the Vatican before any plans can go ahead.
Next Monday Dr Ron McKeran, the chair of St Raphael's Hospice advisory committee, will also present the petition to Archbishop Mennini who is the pope's representative in Britain.
Mr Burstow said: "There is huge respect in the local community for the work of the Daughters of the Cross, particularly the hospice at North Cheam.
"But people are puzzled and concerned that the Daughters as trustees of a charitable trust are jeopardising their legacy and the future of the hospice by cutting the link with the hospital."
Sister Veronica Hagen, Trustee and Provincial Superior, Daughters of the Cross said: "The Trustees of the Daughters of the Cross have been running St Anthony's Hospital since 1904 and St Raphael's Hospice since 1987 and we are very proud of our work in and around Cheam.
"We have repeatedly explained that all our decisions – based on independent expert advice - will provide the best long term future for both Works, which is why we are so disappointed that Mr Burstow continues to pursue this matter.'"

Giles C says...
The petition is inaccurate..who do you believe the Nuns or Paul Burstow?
It is no coincidence that he has sought publicity again for this after the release of Philomena that show Nuns in a bad light to try and bolster his cause...he really is an odious disgusting individual seeking to benefit from the misery of others...at least put both sides of the story.

Trying out the AUGIE dashboards.
The portlets start to render but not find any data to display. Any ideas on what to twiddle? These are the samples only so using the provided SQL.
Also, charts were initially coming up as 404 errors (the sample portlets were set to use ChartTemplate.Html but the template installed was actually .html).
Tue, 05/29/2012 - 1:01pm
Rechecked the upload to see if anything was missing. The only thing that I can't seem to get into CPM are the two Thumbs.db files (one in admin\chartsystem\assets and another in admin\chartsystem\assets\css). Importing did not bring these files in and .db is not an 'approved' file type for the Upload File option in CPM.
Any idea if the .db files explain the 'not data to display' message?

I added the code to wildcards\admin_nav_menu_left_css.txt (shown below in between the regular dashboard and special function) but it is not showing up. Do I need to change it somehow to make it show up? Place it somewhere else? Any help would be appreciated.

During the last three decades, even before breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, computers have been replacing and multiplying the physical labor of human beings. Improvements in computer and communications technologies have also enabled employers to offshore many routine tasks that machines cannot directly replace.
I have seen the future, and it is robots. Because I am old and did not grow up gazing at electronic screens or playing with high-tech toys like I-pods and I-pads, I may be among the last to come to this realization -- that the human race is seriously threatened by the creation of ever more sophisticated robots.
Some religious people, anti-transhumanists, and neo-Luddites complain that an advanced AI will destroy human civilization. Most scientists and technologists find those worries laughable. Most of them think that AI will usher in a new age of scientific discovery, medical advancement, and technological sophistication only imagined before in science fiction.
There is a virtual new world in Berlin that is one step closer to replicating the human mind. Thanks to funding from a maverick New York science investor called Jeffrey Epstein, virtual and robotic models of the human brain are moving away from traditional algorithms with deterministic pathways, towards a realm of emotional, less predictable androids.

Conceptualising Regional Power in International Relations: Lessons from the South African Case
AbstractRegional powers can be distinguished by four pivotal criteria: claim to leadership, power resources, employment of foreign policy instruments, and acceptance of leadership. Applying these indicators to the South African case, the analysis demonstrates the crucial significance of institutional foreign policy instruments. But although the South African government is ready to pay the costs of co-operative hegemony (such as capacity building for regional institutions and peacekeeping), the regional acceptance of South Africa's leadership is constrained by its historical legacy. Additionally, Pretoria's foreign policy is based on ideational resources such as its reputation as an advocate of democracy and human rights and the legitimacy derived from its paradigmatic behaviour as a 'good global citizen'. However, the Mbeki presidency is more successful in converting these resources into discursive instruments of interest-assertion in global, rather than in regional bargains. In effect the regional power's reformist South-oriented multilateralism is challenging some of the guiding principles of the current international system.

very central to victoria,good value,good breakfast - Clare
We loved the spacious apartment. It was clean and comfortable. Plenty of coffee,tea, sugar and even milk. They thought of everything!! There was everything you could need for a holiday. We went in January 2011 and it was always heated. A beautiful view over London. Good value as you wouldn't get all this space in a hotel which are normally so small. We will definitely recommend this to our friends. We hope to book once again with them. We received the keys after a 10 min wait only. - Anonymous
Fantastic point if you manage to visit the most important turistic point of London in 2 days ( I did in one day ). A little far from the airport but it worthwhile. - Maico
The accommodation was well equipped, and extremely comfortable. Thick towels and underfloor heating in the bathrooms were two of the many features of this spacious apartment. - Anonymous
Le personel et la propreté. - Gerard
The hotel is really well located and the place is clean, the sheets areOk and you have clean towels every day. - Anonymous
Très bel hotel! Service impeccable! Chambres spacieuses et superbes! Petit déjeuner copieux! Personnel très très agréable! Je recommande! - Rouard
La gentillesse du personnel, la propreté de la chambre et surtout l'emplacement de l'hôtel: 15 min à pied de Big Ben! - Anonymous
We had a lovely room overlooking Big Ben and Parliament. The view was so wonderful, the nights were spectacular watching the boats and the river lights. The weather was warm and balmy and the walks along the river embankment were spectacular. The hotel is in a perfect location, the staff superb and the service top notch. I shall return again soon.The County Hall Marriot is a perfect holiday hotel. - Marilynn
Nous avons été surclassés et nous sommes retrouvés au 12ème étage avec une vue magnifique sur westminster big ben et la grande roue. Petit dejeuner excellent avec espace lounge en option pour le tea time. Nous avons apprécié la chambre design et spacieuse pour 4 personnes - Girard

That nature
Stop and enjoy your eyes with the beautiful nature.
What you see is the marvelous creating of Creator.
Earth and sky were shaking at rejoice attractively.
Under wonderful miracles bless with delightfully.
One of the marveling sights tells instead of magnificent nature.
It is considering as a main Sura of Book on the tongue of reader.
It refers to the ability of Creator obviously without doubt.
It left nothing to pontiffs and religious men for suspect. ِ
If someone has suspicion in creation of God and seems unsteady,
He may look deliberately to the nature then he will believe surely.
Then the veil of doubt will be removed away immediately.
And the nature becomes shiny on his sight delivers nakedly.
It is similar to Balkis lying on her bed seems very beauty.
Maybe Balkis alike inside her fellows was going on convoy.
Or it is alike Suleyman of large wealth the triumphant.
Prestigious glory on his favours is obvious and abundant.
Gusty winds on His door look weak and humble.
Birds altogether also low their beaks and seem amenable.
Nearby the Heavens outlook seems as if favourable blessing
It was dedicated to those devoted people desire and wishing.
Many beautiful virgins there are on thickets of Heaven.
Adorned with anklets and bracelets anyhow they are driven.
A tender girl is similar to them on her naked garment apparently.
When she goes out her dress' train sweeps the ground gently.
She has smiling teeth adorns the place with pleasure.
A passionate girl her eyes shed more tears moreover.
She is suffering the loneliness dwelling alone at a certain mound.
Deep profound girl between her counterparts her visage told.
Perhaps you come closely to the brook to enjoy on its picture.
And you can see the grasses surrounding it growing as if mirror.
What attractive view when you hear the murmuring sound!
It is as if fingers play delightfully on strings back and round.
Hundred fingers of water waves touch brook edge quietly.
Drifting gravels and grasses, its sound is echoing musically.

You may or may not have seen this video I made last year for "Weird Al." Here it is, in all the glory of uncompressed Flash, with new pause/play functionality.
One word. Awsome
this was probably the funnyest , stylish , cool sounded violent flash with sense in every fraim...great work *adds to favourites*
I was wondering why you couldn't submit it sooner. Even if it is property of Weird Al. I loved this the first time I ever saw it and I even did a drawing assignment based upon your artwork. Woot! I love you man, (in a totally non sheep related way.)
Wow, I never thought this would make it to NG. I already saw it on the Straight outta Lynnwood DualDisc, thought he would have slapped some kind of agreement on or something like that. Although it doesn't look nearly as good as it does on the DVD, it's still great to be able to see this on Newgrounds. Good job!

Victor Hugo's widely acclaimed French novel 'Les Miserables' will continue to remain a much loved classic despite the fact that its film adaptation isn't something we'd recommend - Golden Globe award, Oscar nomination withstanding. It's more exhausting than exhaustive, and may even risk ruining fond memories you have of the French Revolution from history class.
What's it about?
'Les Miserables' is set against the backdrop of the Revolution, where prisoner Jean Valjean (Hugh Jackman) escapes from under the nose of officer Javert (Russell Crowe). While convict number 24601 (as Jackman's character is referred to) turns over a new leaf and adopts the daughter (Amanda Seyfried) of poor factory worker Fantine (Anne Hathaway), Javert doesn't give up his hunt for him. The climax coincides with the conclusion of the French Revolution years later.
The beautiful landscapes and picture perfect scenes, reminiscent of 19th century France, are beautifully captured. Moments like when Hathaway is forced to turn to prostitution, make the hair stand up on the back of your neck.
Les Miserables
However, the musical does get tedious after a while. The pantomime style of story-telling was a big turn off. The long monologues almost sent us running towards the nearest exit. Characters bursting into song and dance at the drop of the hat became a bit too much to take after a point. The saving grace was Hathaway, who delivers a heart-wrenching performance and stands out, despite her role being only a cameo.
Crowe, as the hard-boiled police officer, is good, but somehow his obsession with recapturing Valjean isn't convincing enough. Jackman is believable and his father-daughter scenes between him Seyfried are touching. Also, two thumbs up to Mr and Madame Thenardier (Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter) who give you the creeps with their wacky performances. Their freakishly corrupt behaviour is loathsome and one of few things to look forward to in an otherwise tiring film.
What to do?
Watch 'Les Miserables' and risk leaving the theatre, well, miserable.

THIBODAUX—Sheriff Craig Webre announced a 15-year old from Thibodaux was placed in the Juvenile Justice Facility Sunday after he was charged with possession of a 40 caliber handgun.
Around 5:30 PM Sunday afternoon, a Thibodaux police officer was flagged down by a concerned citizen who reported hearing gunshots being fired in the area between Cameco Road and Lafourche Drive.
When deputies arrived on scene the Thibodaux officer had the 15-year old in custody. The officer explained how he had spotted two juveniles walking on a nearby headland and they ran from him. While in pursuit, he noticed the 15-year old take off a black jacket then he tossed a black gun. The officer caught up with the teen on Frederick Drive where he was detained until deputies arrived. The other juvenile got away.
Deputies located the jacket and gun in a nearby ditch. There was more than $400 in cash and 27 rounds of ammunition for a 40 caliber gun in the jacket. The 15-year old from Karla Drive in Thibodaux was taken into custody and the gun entered into evidence. The cash was returned to the teen's mother.

First-ever careers fair at Winchester School of Art (From Basingstoke Gazette)

First-ever careers fair at Winchester School of Art
12:00pm Sunday 9th March 2014 in News By Andrew Napier
WINCHESTER School of Art will hold the first careers fair in its 150-year history on Thursday. (MAR13)
Re:work will see some 25+ organisations attending, many of them household names from the creative industries, from Rob Shaw, the founder of Jack Wills, to fashion houses Karen Millen and Mint Velvet, IBM and international WPP company Blue State Digital.
Several Winchester creative companies, such as Peagreen, C&Co, Park Corner Design and Nuko will also attend.
It will be an opportunity for the school's 1,600 students to meet employers face to face and hear inspiring speakers, such as Hayley Quinn, the UK's best-known dating consultant, who will talk to students about social skills and making a great first impression.
The Dean of the Faculty will open it at 11am and it will run through until 4pm, when exhibitors, alumni, staff and students will gather for a reception.
Fears that the fair might be cancelled or relocated because of flooding in Park Avenue have been allayed by the ebbing of the floods in the last two weeks.

As a leading Illinois family- and child-service agency, Children's Home + Aid serves more than 40,000 children and families each year through its child-development and -care programs, family counseling, and foster-care-advocacy programs. The organization's roots extend back to 1883, when the Reverend Van Arsdale brought into his home a young girl whose mother was in crisis. The minister's umbrella of care soon spread throughout the country, as he established advisory boards and worked to improve child welfare. Today, Children's Home + Aid focuses on early childhood and juvenile justice, preventing child abuse, and garnering positive child development in strong families.
The organization's Raising A Reader program helps children ages 3-5 get "kindergarten-ready" by developing early language and literacy abilities. Much of this work incorporates full parental involvement; facilitators encourage parent-child bonding through everything from bedtime stories to engaging, brain-building activities. Currently helping more than 350 children develop these necessary scholastic skills, the Illinois chapter is just part of a larger national trend; in 2011, the national Raising a Reader program touched the lives of almost 118,000 kids across 32 states.

ECOpreneuring: Putting Purpose and the Planet Before Profits
Ivanko and Kivirist - innkeepers, authors, and wearers of many other hats - truly walk the green talk, detailing the nitty-gritty of running a green business. - Library Journal I'm not even sure I'd call this a "business book." ECOpreneuring contains plenty of advice on starting a small, eco-conscious business, but the authors focus primarliy on how entrepreneurial efforts can incorporate values and priorities beyond the bottom line. Lifestyle choices trump profit motives, but neither have to be sacrificed in order to create meaning and income. This kind of positive thinking is repeated again and again throughout the book. In addition to sharing their own success, and the stories of others, ECOpreneuring is filled with practical information about starting and running a small green business. A potential ecopreneur will discover ideas on everything from bookkeeping to marketing, and the authors point to numerous other resources that will help you set up your company, and run your business without running afoul of tax codes, licensing agencies, or litigious competitors. I really enjoyed this thoughtful, well-written book - a business book that's inspiring and practical is hard to come by. ECOpreneuring lays out a blueprint for making health, happiness and abundance an integral part of the work we do.Reviewed by Jeff McIntire-Strasburg, Sustainablog Powerful social trends toward green living, relocalization, and self-sufficiency have fanned the fires of would-be ecopreneurs in North America, driving a shift toward prioritizing purpose over profits, and building community over building market share. A nation of nine-to-fivers is giving way to a spirited bunch of innovators, searching for ways to make a life instead of simply making a living. This accessible and inspiring guide includes profiles of successful ecopreneurs and provides an in-depth exploration of: Eco-business basics Purposeful management Marketing in the green economy Running a lifestyle business Ecopreneuring shows how we can earn our daily bread on a local or regional level while saving money, strengthening the economy, and helping restore the planet to ecological health and social stability. Part small business manifesto, part personal finance primer, Ecopreneuring is essential reading for small business owners, prospective entrepreneurs, and anyone who dreams of a livelihood based on independence, creativity, passion, and a commitment to green practices and sustainability. John Ivanko and Lisa Kivirist are innkeepers of the award-winning Inn Serendipity Bed & Breakfast, which is powered by renewable energy.

And again, she is sticking her neck out, leading the foundation's push into digital education initiatives, in which it has invested more than $90 million in recent years. Of all the foundation's programs, this exploration of how online communication tools can be used transform school programs has the greatest potential for successful systemic change -- and the greatest risk of failure, Gallucci said.
"We don't know the outcome. It's still a risk," he said. "But I tell you, with Julie taking the risk, making the investment, showing good management, I am nothing but impressed so far."
"I value her judgment and her instincts," Mayor Rahm Emanuel said in a prepared statement.
In another arena, she is one of 14 individuals corralled by World Business Chicago, the city's not-for-profit economic development arm, to devise an economic growth plan for the city and region. The panel's recommendations are due to be released shortly.
"I call her for advice on many things, from the mundane to the truly important," said Michael Sacks, vice chairman of World Business Chicago and chief executive of Grosvenor Capital Management L.P., one of the city's major hedge fund firms.
When told of the compliment, Stasch laughed. "Oh, my God," she said. "From that incredibly wealthy man who sits with Rahm on the sidelines of the Bulls games? Oh, my God.' "
Her modesty is genuine, say some of those who have worked closely with her. "She's very humble and low-key," said Terry Mazany, head of the Chicago Community Trust. "She does not look for the spotlight."
Over the years she declined numerous suggestions that she run for political office.
"The prospect of begging people for money was too distasteful, too daunting," she said. "I would've liked the public policy side of it and the negotiation side of it, but what it takes to get there didn't appeal to me at all."
What does excite her is exploring potential new territory for the foundation, in this case whether there is an effective way for the organization to address prison overpopulation and the ravaging effects that the nation's high levels of incarceration can have on communities and families.
"I'm fearful that in 20 years or 30 years, American society is going to turn around and look at this era, and say, 'What were we thinking?' " Stasch said. "When you're so diminishing the future contribution of a huge proportion of our population, undermining their ability to get a job or care for a family, thus undermining their productivity and undermining us as a productive society ... what were we thinking?"

Julia Stasch, vice president, U.S. programs, MacArthur Foundation
Family: Lives in Lincoln Park with her husband, Stanley Stasch, a retired marketing professor.
Gaining confidence: "My mom always told me I was the smartest and the prettiest, and by the time I realized it wasn't true, I already had the confidence, so it didn't matter."
Attending an East Coast boarding school: "I so rebelled against the sort of Eastern snobbiness of it all. I mean, there were probably three girls from the Midwest, and we were all gauche ... so, I only applied to one college, Antioch College, the most hippie school. I always kind of wanted to do the contrary thing."
Management style: "I've never been interested in hiring someone who says, 'Give me my task, I'll check in with you quarterly. That degree of autonomy is not really welcome in my shop. But the counterpoint to that is not micromanagement. The counterpoint, to me, is someone who is willing to put their ideas in the middle of the room ... for everyone to poke at, to challenge, to say, ' What the hell do you mean?' "
Leisure time: "I almost never think of myself as 'off.' Learning, sort of any time, anywhere, is a big pleasure to me. Meeting people, reading things that relate to the things I'm thinking about, I think is very rewarding. That doesn't mean I don't ski, that doesn't mean I won't read a novel with no purpose, it doesn't mean I don't have friends and engage in all those things. But I don't divide my life between on and off."
Favorite objects in her office: A figurine of Sojourner Truth, received in 1991 from the YMCA of Chicago when it gave her its first racial justice award, and a painting of geese flying over a wide-open waterfront, waves lapping against a sandy, reed-studded shoreline. "I can look at the picture and put my mind into a calm space."

August = Spinning Month
We, at the Shetland Textile Museum, are happy to announce a whole theme month concentrated on the art of spinning wool. For those who have always wanted to dip into learning how to spin, or, for those who may need a small push and want to develop their style and technique, this month is an absolute wonderful opportunity to do just that!
Elisabeth Johnston, from Shetland Handspun, will be tutoring an informal spinning class starting Wednesday, August 6 between 7-9 p.m. Then, the following week on Thursday, we have Julia Downing from Just Shetland will tutor a similar class between 7-9 p.m. The charge for each class is £5 per participant.
Interesting? People can call ahead for more information and reserve a spot for one or both classes. During August, STM will try to have spinning wheels set up for visitors to practice on and, hopefully, have volunteering demonstrators every day. Everyone is welcome to give spinning a try during the museum's opening hours. You're allowed to bring your own wheels to the evening courses (advisable) or during opening hours throughout August.
For us at the museum, this is an exciting theme for August, exciting that we have two wonderful and experienced wool spinners tutoring evening classes and grateful for our dedicated team of volunteer demonstrators.
Remember: August 6 and August 14 for spinning classes! Evenings 7-9 p.m.
All we can say for now is, A WARM AND HEARTY WELCOME TO ALL!
Try: The LOOM
Weaving cloth on a loom has been a fundamental process and provided people with fine and fashionable garments though hundreds of years. Shetland Textile Museum's loom has probably seen hundreds of meters, or yards, of cloth woven out on it with just as many patterns being produced.
Originating from the late 19th century, little is known about our working loom. What we do know is it has been producing woven textiles and tweeds from Adies of Voe and this production has most likely been delivered to many parts of the world. When standing next to it, it is a mechanical wonder for those with, not only a textile interest, but even an engineering curiosity.
According to reports, perhaps that's why there has been a distinctive number of men at the museum wanting to try weaving and understand the workings of a loom and how it can produce such fine textiles.
So, during August and September everyone is invited to come to the museum, sit down at this wonder of textile heritage and, with some simple instructions, give the loom a go and weave on it. It will give a deeper understanding of weaving, the work process and possibly entice a few to consider a new hobby.
Just drop in or make arrangements for a personal introduction during opening times!
Lecturer from Poland
The Shetland Textile Museum has the privilege to have a European textile artist visit July 3 and present herself and her work. Living and working in Poznań, Poland, Alicja Tyburska will lecture in traditional fiber handcrafts and the growing interest of traditional fiber handcraft in her native country.
Wool enthusiast, spinner and weaver, she strives to bring spinning and weaving techniques back to life.
The museum certainly welcomes Alicja Tyburska and looks forward to her thoughts and experiences. Equally important, the museum heartily welcomes everyone to Alicja's lecture on Thursday, July 3 at 7:30 p.m.
The Shetland Textile Museum has opened!
After diligent work on the part of trustees and volunteers, the Shetland Textile Museum has finally opened for the 2014 season. The flag flew from top mast. The exhibitions were in place. Cleaning was finished. Reception area was ready and everyone was quite pleased, both the helpful museum staff and the over 100 visitors.
The Shetland College students' exhibition created a buzz of excitement for everyone who found room in the smaller exhibition room. The students quickly became busy with answering questions and showing their individual designs to wide-eyed spectators.
The "Oil/knittin" exhibition, examples of knitting during the so-called oil boom years of 1970's and 1980's, brought thoughts and reflections from the visitors. It is an exhibition that will do well in visiting several times to consume its message to the fullest.
It was an immensely fine day for everyone and, as people left the museum at closing time, everyone was in contented spirits and with a smile on their faces.
Shetland Wool & Knitting- a Legacy
Flung out between the Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea are the Shetland Islands. A remote, chilly, cloudy and wind whipped gathering of open, peat-clad, rocky scattering of islands. For centuries, the inhabitants learned to carve out a livelihood through fishing, crofting and wool. Knitting developed through either domestic needs or to barter and exchange with.
Evidence points to the islands having a stock of primitive Soay sheep during the Neolithic era some 4500 years ago. Later, during the 9th century, Norse settlers came to Shetland with their native breed of sheep; inter-breeding with the Soay and developing a hearty native sheep having a low protein diet and living off grasses and seaweed. The wool was first woven, then, kneaded into a cloth called Wadmal. However, being soft, light and warm, it was soon recognized that this exceptional wool was most suitable for knitting. Knitting developed and soon became a key handcraft of Shetland and a significant part of its economy.
During the 17th and 18th centuries, Hanseatic merchants from Germany and Dutch fisherman established a trade in stockings with Shetland. Debts were once paid in knitted stockings to the Bishop Holar of Iceland and this practice matured into a Shetland hosiery trade.
When their men were battling the sea as fisherman, the women stayed behind to take charge of the home and family, the croft and enhancing the family's income by knitting. It was commonplace that a woman would be seen trudging from the peat beds with a "kishie" full of peat, a knitting belt around her waist and her hands busily knitting while on her way back to the croft house.
Fine Shetland lace shawls and stockings were world-renowned and products that Victorian high society ladies jealously wanted to own. Among many was Queen Victoria, herself wearing lace stockings or a lace shawl made in Shetland. Another traditional form of Shetland knitting, which developed and became popular during this time, was Fair Isle knitting and famous for their brightly colored patterned knitwear, having been dyed with local plants and lichens to produce rich and lasting natural colors.
One seldom known fact, which propelled Shetland knitting to high peaks, is that of Edmund Hillary, together with Sherpa mountaineer Tenzing Norgay, was clothed in specially ordered handmade knitwear from Shetland in his successful pursuit in conquering Mount Everest in 1953.
Through thousands of years, Shetland wool and Shetland knitting skills have been handed from one generation to another creating a unique knitting and textile heritage identifying Shetland for true quality.

So why isn't he a first round player - a serious knee injury that really slowed him down last year. But I remember a few years back we took a chance on another talented player with knee issues.............yes Frank Gore was our risk and while others missed out, we ended up striking gold. Watch the tape of this kid and wonder if we can strike some gold again. I just hope he is still around in the later rounds..............others are also beginning to take notice of him and his special talents. Childs is an extraordinary target because of his unusual combination of size, speed, jumping ability, long arms (34?-inch) and, finally, huge hands, (10?-inch). - Frank Cooney, The Sports Xchang.
Ok, so I have developed a serious draft crush on Greg Childs. But the more film I watch the more I think that the 49ers should seriously look at him in either the third or four round. He has all the qualities that the Niner's are looking for in a WR - 6'3 220 pounds and during his pro day ran a 4.41 with a V leap of 41 inches - also runs excellent routes with large soft hands.
Check him out on You Tube "Greg Childs vs Auburn and Georgia" - So what are your thoughts..............take the risk or not. We already have 5 WR and can afford to roll the dice.
