It's hard to let a holiday go by around here without a little craft to accompany it.  I'm fairly certain, in fact, that the kids would not allow it.

So, with Thanksgiving coming next week, it's time to make some turkeys!

What you'll need:

cardstock in a variety of colors

Turkey template page

markers, feathers, googly eyes, glue (for the feathers)

scissors or craft knife

To make:

Simply cut feathers and turkey bodies out of a variety of colorful pieces of cardstock, decorate them as you'd like and then slide the body first onto the stand, followed by the small, medium and large feathers.  And you've got a whole rafter (that's what a group of turkeys is called) of turkeys!

They'd be super cute as place cards for the Thanksgiving table too...

Or, simply flip the stand to the side to collapse the bird, tuck it inside an envelope and send off some Thanksgiving good wishes to friends and family...

The kids had so much fun with these, truly!  Often they get impatient when it takes me a little while to compile the supplies and prepare them for projects like this, but once we begin it's so hard to get them to stop and clean up!  They could have kept going had I had more cardstock cut!
And, if you are feeling particularly adventurous you can switch out the markers for paint and the cardstock for balsa wood!

Same idea, different medium.

I am by no means an artist, but hearing Violet and Henry ooo and ahh over these two turkeys you'd think I was...

I graciously took their compliments and smiles, because those two turkeys are who I really made these turkeys for!

Anyway, maybe it'll give the kids something to do over the weekend, or on Thanksgiving day for that matter!

ps. need more turky craft ideas?  Try these or these!
 Crafty things Creative Kids Holiday Tutorials Jane@Buzzmills 2014-11-21T07:00:00-05:00 Cardinal Hooded Rowan Tee (+ Orange Hosh pants)... http://buzzmills.typepad.com/blog/2014/11/cardinal-hooded-rowan-tee-orange-hosh-pants.html My pal Laura just recently released her latest Titchy Threads pattern, the Rowan tee.

My pal Laura just recently released her latest Titchy Threads pattern, the Rowan tee.  You may remember seeing a couple of other versions here during Kids Clothes Week like this Otis the tractor inspired tee and these monster versions.  So, yes, I already knew that I liked the pattern (all of her patterns really!).  It's a great staple tee with... 144 different variation possibilities  and sizes from 6 months - 12 years it will be a staple for a long time.  There are so many ways that you can customize this tee, from pockets to hood to sleeve length to stripes to cuffs or hems, so many choices!

This time around, for the Rowan Tee Pattern tour, I chose the following options:  hood, long sleeved, cuffed sleeve, cuffed hem, shoulder stripes and a kangaroo pocket...

And, some awesome Charley Harper Cardinal Knit!  I first used this cardinal knit for a baby gown/hat last Spring and have since been holding onto the rest to make something special for one of my kiddos.  Henry got it, it seemed only fair as the cardinal has long been his favorite bird, but I think Violet is pretty jealous.

This knit (nice and thick and sturdy, but soft) is a perfect match for the Rowan tee, especially with the hooded version, making it more of a sweatshirt almost.

Speaking of sweatshirts...I used some sweatshirt scraps leftover from these Fancy Pants leggings to make the kangaroo pocket...

I like the heathered texture to it and think it breaks up the cardinals nicely making the shirt cute but cool too...plus it's soft and snuggly on the inside!

I used sweatshirt scraps for the shoulder stripes too...

As well as the hood stripe...

I used a dark gray ribbing for the cuffs and a gray knit, with a pop of cardinals (just because) for the hood lining...

Seriously, with all of these options, stripes and ribbing and pockets (oh my!) there are so many ways to make this tee all your own!  Plus, Laura, does a great job in the pattern telling you exactly what pages you need to print out for the options that you've chosen.  That doesn't mean that you'll remember the first time, ahem.  The pattern is layered as well which means you only need to print out the size(s) you wish to make.  I will admit that the extras add some time to the cutting out process, of course, as well as the small steps needed to sew them in, but, as with all of the Titchy Threads patterns the directions are so detailed and easy to follow and all of those little notches match up perfectly giving you a fantastic finished project!

See that little poof of white up there to the right of Henry's face...yup, it was so cold (28deg without the windchill!)  but this guy was totally cool when it was time to take his coat off.  I thought it would be fun to get pictures of him at the nature center bird watching in his bird shirt...

But then again, that was before the temperatures plummeted to dead of the winter temps around here!  Anyway he was a good sport about it all and it was only about five minutes, tops!

Plus, he really just loved his new shirt so much...oh and a brand new pair of orange stretch denim hosh pants because, well just because...

And afterward we went inside to warm up and explore...he was totally in his element.

And looking mighty cute!

I really do love this pattern and can see many more Rowan tees to come!  Want to see more fantastic versions of this shirt to sway you even more?  Stop by the rest of the Rowan tee pattern tour!

*Note, I was given this pattern in return for blogging about it, but all opinions are my own.

A while back Stacy, of Boy, Oh Boy, Oh Boy, asked if I wanted to participate in this fun sewing series, Match with Me.  It's a mother/son sewing that lets the boys get in on the matching mama fun!  I've (not fully intentionally) sewn up a few matching pieces for Violet and I, these skirts and these shirts for instance, but I've never sewn up anything for Henry and I to match and when I told him I was going to do just that he was thrilled...

Henry and I spend a lot of solo time together and while he is certainly not a mama's boy we do enjoy our time together.  I will say though that sometimes it can be challenging.  He and I are not the same breed.  He is always energetic, always talking, and always on!  I, on the other hand, enjoy my quiet time and don't like to bounce around 24 hours a day.  Sometimes we have difficult moments together (well, of course he is four!) and most of the time they have to do with clothes!  But, at the same time he is the sweetest!

It's a good thing that he likes to dress like a gentleman because he truly is one!  He's learning the "good man" ropes early from his Dad.  He holds the door for me, tells me he loves me all the time and gives me sweet loving hugs out of the blue.

He and I are a good pair together despite our differences.

So, in wanting to make something that the gentleman would wear, I decided to sew us up matching plaid shirts and vests.

I've wanted a plaid shirt myself for quite some time now and I know that Henry is a fan.  First, I had to find the right plaid.  Not as easy as it seems!  I looked online and couldn't quite find what I wanted so I headed to my nearby fabric store.  I really wanted to feel the fabric and it's weight before committing.  This purple, green, white plaid was the only thing I found.  At first I was a little disappointed in my decision.  But now that it's sewn into shirts I really like it and the fabric itself is so comfortable!

I used the Archer Button up pattern from Grainline for my shirt.  This is my first grainline pattern.  I've heard loads of good things about them (especially from Kristin) and I've seen so many great archers floating around that I thought I'd give it a try myself!  Of course, I was terribly nervous!  But, the sew along is super fab and really the cutting out of all the pattern pieces was the hardest part.  I sewed up a 10 based on my bust measurements, but I wished I had gone with my gut and sewn an 8, I'd rather it be a little more fitted, next time.

For Henry, I used the Ethan Shirt from Sis Boom.  I sewed his up after mine which was helpful and made his go more quickly because the whole shirt making thing was fresh in my head.

In addition to the shirts I wanted to sew Henry up a new vest as well.  He wears his cowboy one all the time and before that he had been wearing this one that is now sadly too small.  I used the Schoolboy vest pattern from Sew Much Ado again.  This time on one side I used this lovely bradford herringbone (from imagine gnats) and on the other...

This gorgeous shetland flannel (also from imagine gnats) in ocean.  I added buttons to both sides so that it could be reversible and when Henry saw the buttons on the blue side to start he remarked how much he loved them...

And then when those red ones on the other side popped out to surprise him he was ecstatic!

I made myself a reversible vest too using the same fabrics and this free pattern from The Purl Bee but I am underwhelmed by it.  It's too big, I already took it in some on the sides, but it still seems a bit, eh...I should have made the extra small instead of the medium perhaps...I'm not sure.  Anywho, a blurry shot of it...

I'm so happy to have had this little nudge to make something special for Henry and I.  I love my new shirt and he is thrilled with his new threads!  I will happily wear our matching shirts out in public.  I will also happily show him these pictures in front of his friends when he is a teenager!

But, good golly I hope that's not too soon!  Look how fast he's growing up, he's such a little dude!

Before I go I have to give props to Violet for the pictures of Henry and I.  We were loosing light and I, as usual, had waited till the very last moment to finish sewing and she was the one we turned to as our photographer.  After we got the "obligatory" shots Henry and I began to play in the leaves for a bit and she snapped these fun photos...

Not bad for a six year old!

Of course Henry was just thrilled to be playing in the leaves, "We get to take pictures AND have FUN?!"

Everyone wins!

 Family Sewing Jane@Buzzmills 2014-11-14T07:00:00-05:00 DIY Felt Travel Games for Kids... http://buzzmills.typepad.com/blog/2014/11/road-trippin.html I first posted about these felt travel games over three years ago (!) and we still regularly tuck them into our car bags for long trips.

I first posted about these felt travel games over three years ago (!) and we still regularly tuck them into our car bags for long trips.  These tutorials for how to make them yourself originally posted over on Classic Play last summer, but with the holidays and long car rides to "grandmas" I thought I'd bring them back home and share them here with you today.  They are small and portable for the car or restaurant and easy to make.  Whether you've got tiny babies or bigger kiddos, there's a game for you!  And, while you're at it, why not make a miniature traveling family too!

We are slowly beginning preparations for our summer vacation.  Which also means that we are slowly making preparations for the long car trip that we need to take to get to our vacation spot...

It is sure to be a car trip filled with bathroom breaks, "are we there yets?" and maybe a little whining.  Let's face it whether it's by plane, train, or automobile the time spent getting to vacation can occasionally be difficult and stressful.   We don't have a DVD player for the car so we rely a lot on small and portable games and activities to keep the kiddos busy and content in the back seat, including these simple felt DIYs which have come on several trips with us over the years.

(*Bonus, they are also great for restaurants too!)

Flap Book

A "lift the flap book" for babies and toddlers is simple and fun.  It helps with color and animal recognition (although you can put something different than animals under the flaps.) and it's a lot like peekaboo!

I started by printing animal pictures onto t-shirt transfer paper and then transferred those photos onto white muslin.  Each photo is about 3"x 2".

Next, cut two pieces of fabric and one piece of Fusible interfacing (medium weight, I used Pellon Craft Fuse Fusible Interfacing) 9" x 14".  Fuse the craft fuse to the wrong side of your back fabric.  Arrange animals onto the right side of your front fabric and sew onto fabric.  Sew two small pieces of velcro near the edges on the short sides (this allows the flap "board" to fold and close like a "book").

Cut squares of felt large enough to cover animal pictures, place over pictures and sew along the top edge.

Place your two pieces of 9" x 14" fabric with right sides facing, sew around the edge with a 1/2" seam allowance, leaving a 3" opening along one of the long sides.  Trim edges and clip corners.  Flip right side out, press and then top stitch along the edge, being sure to sew up your opening as well.  And you are done!  Loads of fun for little ones!

Traveling Felt Board

Another super simple felt travel toy for toddlers, a simple felt board...

I made mine small (about paperback book size) for maneuverability in a car seat.

Cut two pieces of felt plus one piece of fusible interfacing (medium weight, I used Pellon Craft Fuse Fusible Interfacing) to 6"x9".  Cut an additional piece of felt that is 6"x 4" for the pocket.  Sandwich interfacing between your 6"x9" felt pieces, lay the 6"x4" piece on top and sew all pieces together, trim edges.

Cut felt shapes, people, etc...and tuck them into the pocket.  Voila! A simple travel felt board with it's own pocket to carry around felt pieces.

Travel Tic-Tac-Toe

And, one more felt game, this one is for kids who are a little bit older, preschoolers and up...tic tac toe...

Cut one square of felt 7"x7".  Cut 4 strips of contrasting felt 7"x 1/4".  Sew strips onto felt square to make a grid.

Cut two more pieces of felt 3"x7" and 2"x7" to make a pocket.  Sew a small piece of velcro in the center of one 7" side of one piece of felt.  Sew the other the other part of the velcro onto one 7" side of the other piece.  Flip felt square over to the wrong side sew the 3"x7" rectangle along three sides (leaving the top edge, with velcro, open) to the wrong side of your large square with the velcro away from the outside edge.  Line up your 2"x7" felt piece to overlap the bottom part of the pocket, sew onto large felt square along the top edge.

Attach two pieces of ribbon about 9" long in the center along the bottom of your pocket and in the center of the opposite side.  Cut 12 felt circles about 1 1/2" in diameter, 6 felt O's and 6 felt X's.  Stitch X's and O's onto your circles.  Load them into the pocket...

tie it up...

and you are ready to take your tic tac toe on the road...

There you have it...with a bit of felt, a sewing machine and odds and ends, you can make a few perfectly portable travel ready activities to keep you and your little ones happy while you are on your way to your vacation!

I can't guarantee that there won't be the occasional "Are we there yet?", but maybe there will fewer anyway.

It's become a bit of a tradition around here, if my husband and I are planning a date night I often try to squeeze in a bit of "selfish sewing" for myself beforehand.  I've sewn several dresses for date nights, a Washi, a Josephine, and two Tovas, plus a fancy skirt and clutch.  We don't go out on dates all that often so it's nice to put a little extra effort into the occasion.  Plus, it gives me something new to wear out and about!

I had planned on wearing my new Odette for the first time for our night out this past weekend, but sadly, it's already too big!  Argh!  The troubles of sewing and loosing weight,  I'll have to figure out how to bring it in...Anywho, I didn't have time to make myself another new dress so I thought I'd make myself a new clutch instead!

I love clutches!  I especially love carrying a clutch out on date nights because it makes me feel especially unencumbered, because you know a mom bag and all those random kid things that end up in them, ugh so heavy!

The clutch in Anna's updated envelope clutch pattern.  This pattern is fantastic, as are all of Anna's patterns.  There are lots of pieces to cut out before you begin between batting, interfacing, pockets and the bag itself and, with all of those pattern pieces, there are several different steps to making the bag so it took me a little longer to put together than I had originally anticipated.  But, all that said, it does come together easily and smoothly thanks to a well written pattern and detailed diagrams, etc.  Plus, the end result is so fantastic!  It's such a great looking clutch, the details (ahem PIPING!) really make it so lovely!

I totally can't remember what the exterior fabric is, I used it for this dress as well, but I just don't remember...The lining is Denyse Schmidt, I believe (I used it for this coat a while back)

And, the little flower pocket fabric is from a handprinted fabric swap and thanks to Susie, funnily I've used it for a pocket before.  I like the sweet little flowers as a fun detail!

I totally love my new clutch, it's perfect for the bare necessities, phone, lipstick, keys, and money...and none of that extra stuff!

Perfect for date nights or errands!

Have a great day!

Phillips (ticker: PSX) ended the week around $31, down from $34 on April 30, the day before it was spun off, and an earlier high of $37 in "when-issued" trading. The stock trades for less than seven times projected 2012 earnings of $4.82 a share and yields 2.6%.
"Clearly, you had holders of ConocoPhillips who were uninterested in owning a refining company," says Doug Terreson, the ISI Group's energy analyst. "Phillips is being valued like a refiner when it gets 40% of its earnings from high-return chemical and midstream businesses." Terreson rates Phillips a Buy, with a $44 price target.
In the first quarter, Phillips earned $1.04 a share, versus 97 cents a year earlier, Terreson calculates; the company hasn't provided any precise figures.
OTHER ANALYSTS HAVE BEEN cooler toward Phillips. Morgan Stanley's Evan Calio carries a $40 price target (along with an Equal Weight or neutral rating). But he cites as positives Phillips' exposure to growth businesses and its restructuring potential from some of its wholly owned energy-transportation assets.

More Than Refining
Phillips gets near 40% of its profits from chemical and midstream units, where returns are double those from refining.
Phillips is the country's biggest independent refiner, based on stock-market value at $20 billion. It has 11 domestic refineries with combined capacity of 1.8 million barrels a day. The company has four refineries outside the U.S., a good balance sheet with net debt of $6 billion, and an investment-grade credit rating.
Phillips and Chevron hold a 50% interest each in Chevron Phillips Chemical, known as CPChem, a lucrative petrochemical company. And Phillips and Spectra Energy (SE) have 50% stakes in DCP Midstream, the No. 1 U.S. natural-gas-liquids producer and the second-largest gas gatherer and processor, with 62,000 miles of pipeline. The company also markets its gasoline, including Phillips 66, through more than 8,000 independently owned service stations.
CEO Greg Garland told analysts on a conference call last month that the company aims to "improve our returns and growth" while "being shareholder-friendly" by annually increasing the dividend, now 80 cents, and repurchasing shares.
The Bottom Line
The ConocoPhillips spinoff stands to benefit from the boom in U.S. energy production. Phillips stock could see gains of 30% or more.
Phillips' price/earnings ratio and other valuation measures are in line with those of other large independent refiners, notably Valero and Marathon. The industry is valued cheaply by investors worried that refining margins could shrink after widening sharply in recent years, in part because refiners in the center of the country benefited from cheap "mid-continent" crude. The company earned over $5 a share last year—calculated as if it were independent—double what it made in 2010.
PHILLIPS GETS ALMOST 40% of its profits from chemical and midstream (gas liquids and transportation) operations. These generate 30% returns, double those from refining.
The chemical business, which earned $1.4 billion last year, is so profitable because 80% of its capacity is in the U.S., where low gas prices hold down input costs. "Phillips' petrochemical business will benefit in a disproportionate way from the growth in the production of natural-gas and natural-gas liquids," Terreson says.
Midstream operations have expansion potential because the boom in U.S. energy production requires new infrastructure to transport oil and natural gas from new fields.
CPChem has the highest returns in its peer group. And in refining, Phillips has upgraded its facilities to process heavier, sour crude and sold less-efficient refineries.
Terreson thinks highly of Garland, the former CEO of CPChem, who, typical of spinoff managers, is getting his first crack at running a public company. Such executives are unfamiliar to Wall Street, just as spun-off companies are unfamiliar to investors—a recipe for undervaluation.
Spinoffs historically have produced outsize returns, and Phillips might be the next example.

The Good Wife TV LISTING
Sunday 10/19
Sunday 10/26
Sunday 11/02
The episode begins with Zack arriving to vote. He spots a broken seal on of the ballot boxes. He tries to click a picture, but the ballot monitor shoos him away. Alicia calls Eli. She tells him that Zach had gone for early voting and saw a stuffed ballot box with Krestva's votes. Eli tells Alicia to put Diane on it. Eli tells his manager about this situation and the manager assures him that he will take care of it. Cary, and the other fourth years, are looking at their new office. It is too expensive for them to ... more
Finale Has Alicia Finally Made Up Her Mind?
It's election time on The Good Wife again. But for Alicia Florrick, there's even more at stake than whether she'll be First Lady of Illinois. With a spectacular roster of guest stars, The Good Wife ushers out a stellar season 4 on a high note. Even better, it ends with a surprise move that I doubt most of us could have seen coming.Night CourtIn "What's in the Box?" Zach's back with his cellphone camera, just as in season 4's premiere. This time, instead of catching a corrup... more
Oh, Alicia! She's a mess, isn't she? The last few weeks have been rough on this good wife. She's struggled with her feelings for Will and questioned whether Lockhart/Gardner is the firm for her. In "What's in the Box?," Alicia made a decision, but not the one she probably should have made first. It's a good thing that The Good Wife has already been renewed for season 5, considering that cliffhanger. I fell without question for the finale door ope... more
'The Good Wife' Mid-Season Finale Recap: Does Cary Take the Plea Deal?
It's finally here -- Cary's day in court. Unfortunately, just because he's a name partner in a law firm doesn't mean he won't end up in the slammer. Will Florrick, Agos & Lockhart have to change its letterhead? In a week that swings wildly between the tragic and the absurd, Alicia faces campaign troubles that pale in comparison to her friend's legal burdens. No Deal In the bluntly named "The Trial," our man Cary is getting ready for court. But once again, he's the client, not t... more

'The Good Wife' Recap: Is Frank Prady Trying to Trick Alicia?
Alicia knows better than anyone that politics can be a dirty game. So what's she supposed to do when faced with an opponent who wants to keep things clean in this week's episode of The Good Wife? Over in the Agos drug case, things are getting increasingly complicated. Last week, Kalinda took a dangerous step to keep Cary out of jail. This week, Cary puts his own life on the line. Who knew that life inside a fancy law firm could be so dangerous? Is C... more

What is this tree? Pics attached
- boogiebaby Aug 2, 2014 12:31 PM
We have this tree on the side of our house, with small berry like things growing. My neighbor says he thinks they are edible, but he couldn't tell what they are called so I could research them more. The berries are about an inch big, and when you cut them, they have a clean soapy scent to them. I googled but came up with nothing.
Any idea what these are?
re: mcsheridan
Boogiebaby's profile says Southern California.
Nothing I recognize over here in Florida.
Boogiebaby, I'd suggest you contact your local county extension service -- they usually have a website with links or photos, and master gardeners who could tell you exactly what this odd little duck might be.
I agree with Sunshine's suggestion to contact your "local county extension service." This is usually connected to a state university horticultural department. I'm a Master Gardener but I'm based in eastern Massachusetts and have never seen this fruit
ETA: You could take a cutting to a local nursery for identification. I would take a fruit, and several leaves, or a small branch with leaves.
My first guess is a guava cultivar, but I do not know, that is a guess.
How tall is it? Shrub or tree-like? How long have the fruits been on there, ie. are they ripe? What else is growing around your area--are there any other trees like this?
Here's a link to a photo and description of guavas in general: http://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edibl...
Yes, I'm in. SoCal. We bought our house about 5 years ago and the tree was already here. It's about 10 feet tall - it's definitely been around for a few years. We haven't eaten any of the berries - I don't eat anything I'm not familiar with! Today was the first time I cut one of the berries open... Was surprised to see an orange seedy center.
re: boogiebaby
So, what have you decided to do? Just wondering.
re: miss_belle
Haha.. you're right of course. I didn't check on the time. We can wait.
re: geminigirl
No -- capers come from a very low shrub with long, slender leaves. Doesn't look anything like this.
re: sunshine842
Oh well, never seen a caper shrub but thought I'd give it a shot, thanks though for the info.
re: Jerseygirl111
No -- kiwis are ovals a little larger than an egg, covered with a brown fuzzy skin, and the flesh is bright green with black seeds. (kiwi is on the right)
Loquats are also oval, but a little larger than the first joint of your thumb - the flesh is yellow with a large brown pit, like a plum (actually, I believe loquats are a species of plum) -- photo on the left
re: sunshine842
I was thinking of Arctic kiwis, should've specified. They are much smaller, green and not fuzzy at all.
I guessed loquats because the leaves look similar. Thought maybe the fruits were green before ripening.
Neither are exact. For some reason this is driving me crazy! Lol
re: Jerseygirl111
I used to have a loquat many houses ago -- I made jam with whatever the mockingbirds left for me -- I've actually been considering planting another one.
What's throwing me is the lobes visible on the fruit in the second photo.
re: sunshine842
The house I grew up in (in Los Angeles) had a loquat tree and neither the fruits nor the leaves looked like those in either photo. Not that I'm an expert on loquat varieties. Agree with contacting the local county extension.
I've never been able to find loquats that tasted (or look, really - the ones in stores are much rounder and a pale apricot color, not the brighter orange I remember) anything close to the ones I grew up with, BTW. They sell them all over the Asian markets here and they're always bland and watery - nothing like the delicious tart fruit I loved so much as a child.
re: sunshine842
Not that I've noticed. They're all green.
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one stumped by this!
re: boogiebaby
I'd still contact your local county extension service (there has to be one...) -- they'll know what it is straight off.
I looked at the photos again and while the fruit looks similar to the neighbor's tree, the leaves are all wrong. Sorry.
maybe contact these folks: http://www.mobot.org/MOBOT/Research/a... for a comprehensive list of databases.
yeah I know the org is based in Missouri, but they're an internationally respected research facility who collects data on plants worldwide and they're usually very helpful about ID'ing things people find. and I bet they get bored with answering simple questions like "uh that's a loblolly pine (moron)" I know yours isn't I just like that name. lob-lolly.

It's been three years since 'Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides' was unleashed upon an unsuspecting populace, convincing even the most die hard fans of Disney's lucrative franchise that Captain Jack Sparrow needed to take a break. Maybe forever. And yet, these past years have been filled with rumors and casting and almost-casting for 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.'

My parents divorced when I was 20.
I know they say that adult children deal with divorce better than younger ones – and that probably is true to a point – but it sure doesn't feel good or easy or right even when you're grown and out of the house.
Let me back up for a second …
My childhood was just about as good as I could have ever asked for. I am the middle of three girls, our parents were young and fun, we lived in family-friendly neighborhoods with good schools and activities nearby. We grew up close to our grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins spending a lot of time with them for holidays, sleepovers, every chance we could. We had traditions and memories, vacations and love. Truly, I could not have asked for a better childhood.
Which I think is what made the break-up of our family even more difficult to deal with.
A handful of factors led to that devastating moment when my dad made the choice to leave us. It never made sense to me – maybe it still doesn't – how a man who adored his family and did everything he could to protect and provide for us could make the choice to walk away. I don't think he knew what the true consequences were going to be. Maybe if he did, he would have chosen differently. I'd like to think so.
It still stings all these years later. I've healed a ton, but gosh my heart is still fragile. I miss him and feel sad and let down and even though I know their divorce was not my fault, I still can't get over the feeling that maybe we just weren't worth enough for him to choose us.
I don't know why I'm telling you this. I guess I've just been struggling with some of the long-lasting issues that come with feeling not-chosen and it seems like something I should confess. Maybe you feel rejection in your life, too? Continue Reading →

Kendrick Lamar - Celebration
Artist: Kendrick Lamar
Producer: Sounwave
Album: Kendrick Lamar EP
Avg Rating: 3.2 ( 13 votes )
It's a celebration b**tches! (Excuse my profanity, I couldn't resist.) Rick James references aside, we're all gathered here today because Los Angeles based up-and-comer Kendrick Lamar is not your stereotypical Compton rapper, and Celebration is not your typical hip-hop track. Built around some appropriately triumphant production from Sounwave (is that a xylophone I hear?), Celebration is the perfect backdrop for Lamar to spit his relatable but never soft rhymes, touching on everything from political Malcom X references to his teenage relationships (which apparently involved a lot of "humping"). Hey, if that's not reason to celebrate I don't know what is. More importantly, with tracks like these Lamar is beginning to build some much deserved hype, so when he's major in 2011 you'll be able to say you knew him when. Celebration is off the recently released Kendrick Lamar EP, available now, and if that's not enough, stay tuned for a DJBooth freestyle from the young west coast emcee coming soon.

Pudvah is new development head at CVHHH
BERLIN Central Vermont Home Health and Hospice has added a seasoned central Vermont executive to its team.
President and CEO Sandy Rousse announced that Daniel Pudvah has been appointed as the organizations development director.
Rousse said Pudvah, who lives in Barre, was a welcome addition given his rich background in fund development, marketing and communications, much of which is in health care.
Pudvah served as vice president of community relations and development for Central Vermont Medical Center for several years before leaving that job to take over as executive director of Kellogg-Hubbard Library in Montpelier. He was employed most recently as director of development for the Radio Vermont Group, where he implemented strategies for nonprofit and nontraditional businesses and organizations using broadcasting to support their missions and objectives.MORE IN This Just InWHITE RIVER JUNCTION — Prosecutors have dropped an assault charge against a Vermont man who...

Christ Is Risen! Part 4 - The Sunday of the Paralytic
May 17, 2008 Length: 11:22
This week the Church focuses our attention on the healing of three people by Jesus Christ. The point of these mighty deeds is to spotlight the power of Christ to forgive sins, heal the sick and raise the dead. Why? So that we might entrust our lives to the living Lord! This podcast will show you why Jesus wants us to keep our eyes fastened on the gospel, and the good things that come to those who do.
"You have been a blessing to me in ways that words cannot possibly explain. For this I'm indebted to you for life already, for in your podcasts you have unlocked the beauty of Orthodox Christianity that has been reflected for over two thousand years. As I listen to your commentaries, my soul is moved because I reflect on the true meaning of what it means to be a christian in the light of the apostles and compare my own state of unworthiness to that which I aspire to become."

BSS Audio® Introduces Full-Bandwidth Acoustic Echo Cancellation Algorithm for Soundweb London Conferencing Processors
BSS Audio®, a Harman International Company (NYSE-HAR), today introduced a new full-bandwidth Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) algorithm for its Soundweb⢠London conferencing processors. The new full-bandwidth AEC algorithm is released with HiQnet London Architect v3.04 and can be used with existing Soundweb London AEC Input Cards and the recently-introduced Soundweb London BLU-101 and BLU-102 devices.
The existing 8kHz-bandwidth AEC algorithm is optimized for POTS, VoIP phone system and digital phone system applications. The new full-bandwidth AEC algorithm facilitates enhanced fidelity for specific applications, while also offering a reduced processing latency. A property within HiQnet London Architect v3.04 allows users to switch between the new full-bandwidth AEC algorithm and the existing 8kHz-bandwidth algorithm. Dedicated full-bandwidth âdryâ signals for local sound reinforcement or recording are offered for both AEC algorithms.
Existing installations can be upgraded to accommodate full-bandwidth content, without the requirement for additional hardware. However, when upgrading systems to HiQnet London Architect v3.04, they will continue to use the 8kHz-bandwidth AEC algorithm unless manually switched to use the new full-bandwidth AEC algorithm. Therefore, changes will not be forced upon existing systems.
New Soundweb London designs will default to using the new full-bandwidth AEC algorithm, which also gives excellent performance with POTS and VoIP systems, in addition to the accommodation of full-bandwidth content.
Iain Gregory, market manager for installed sound at Harman Signal Processing stated, "BSS Audio is new to the conferencing market but our products and algorithms have already won favor with many experienced consultants and system integrators as a direct result of live demonstrations. The addition of a full-bandwidth AEC algorithm as a software upgrade for the AEC Input Cards and the BLU-101 and BLU-102 devices brings another important conferencing tool to applications large and small.â?
The BLU-101 and BLU-102 along with the other members of the Soundweb London family provide the building blocks of the perfectly tailored system solution.

Sometimes, you look at a product and you just shake your head.
You think back to when the product was first made available. It was almost perfect, but it wasn't legal. Through time and hard work the product was greatly altered so that it could be legalized. And now it is a best seller.
Yet, somewhere during the process of modification, the product became substandard—its flaws stuck out like a sore thumb.
You still like the product and you have fashioned ideas on how to eliminate its shortcomings, but the majority of people simply wouldn't think of altering the product. They see the same flaws you see, but they're satisfied with the status quo because it's legal—it's easily attainable.
What's the product, you ask? It is the UFC and its very flawed scoring system.
Recently, one of Bleacher Report's top writers, Jad Semaan, penned a pair of brilliant articles titled, New Rules, Part One: Methods to Improve the Judging System in MMA and, Methods to Improve MMA Judging, Part Two
With Mr. Semaan's permission, I would like to offer my take on this central issue.
As fans, we know that any MMA organization which employs judges to score fights, controversial decisions will happen. So why did I select the UFC? It's simple.
Unlike many MMA organizations, UFC contracted fighters are not generally given a lot of leeway. It is not acceptable for a fighter lose a couple of key fights at key times, especially if a lot of money (and hype) was invested in him.
If he fails once too often, he may be fired. And who really wants to see a good UFC fighter terminated or demoted because he won a couple of big money fights, only to lose the decisions?
One enormous UFC obstacle is The State Athletic Commissions. They have forced their ten-point must boxing system for scoring on the UFC. To make matters worse, some UFC judges are also former current boxing judges. Hmm...
If boxing and Mixed Martial Arts are completely different combat sports, why should MMA judging fall under the umbrella of the boxing scoring system? This problem calls for nothing less than a complete scoring system overhaul. The UFC must find a way to distance the boxing-like mindsets of MMA judges.
As Jad Semaan suggested, increasing the number of judges from three to say, five, will likely reduce the number of controversial decisions. Five judges is a terrific idea and it's a great start, but neither Jad nor I think it's enough. Suspect decisions might still worm their way through the cracks.
Perhaps expanding the number of rounds or changing the length of each round may lead the way to improved judging accuracy. Still, where ever there are judges, human error will subsist. And when UFC fighter's careers are at stake, half measures simply won't do.
If the old axiom, "history repeats itself" holds merit, an entire UFC overhaul might be necessary. Sometimes an architect must reevaluate his foundation in order to continue building upward.
Let's take a look at some options which could be presented to the States Athletic Commissions attention for perusal.
The introduction of 'protective' gloves changed the destiny of MMA. Gloves encouraged more stand-up fighting. Gloves increased the likelihood that more fights would go the distance. Gloves made fight-ending submissions harder to execute.
I propose the exclusion of gloves. Bare hands would encourage kicking, standing elbows, and more submission attempts. Consequently, some fights would end sooner and without compromising fighter safety. I also propose this option: a 30-minute (single round) fight. It would keep the judges away. If the final bell rings, it's a draw.
Are these ideas Radical? You bet. But the beauty of it is: simplicity, exciting fights, and cut-and-dry winners.
Unlike the UFC days of old, when nobody understood anything about anything, today's top fighters are truly gifted athletes. They ought to know enough not to punch their opponents to the head while on the ground. They should take care and avoid broken hands by utilizing palm strikes and hammer fists.
If some fighters still insist on punching their opponents to the head while on the ground, their fractured hands will send clear a message to other fighters: Thou shalt not breaketh one's hands by punching your opponents melon.
If the judges are to be kept away from the UFC, the organization must revert back to actual fighting.
The product must lose its excess fat. No gloves, no rounds, and just the following five rules: No biting; no eye-gouging or fish-hooking; no elbows to the head, and no head butting. However, knees and stomps to the head should be permitted, so long as the fighters do not grab the fence for leverage.
It is important to note that no UFC fighter was ever seriously injured even prior to the induction of judges, the plethora of rules, rounds, and gloves. And with the original three rules of the UFC and its grueling tournament format, the fighters were still okay, save for some nasty looking superficial cuts and a broken hand or two.
I really doubt that bare-knuckle UFC fights, even today, given the five aforementioned rules and no time limit, would last more than ten or fifteen minutes each on average. The referees would restart any fight that stalls. And a yellow card system for stalling or rule infractions would surely keep the action going.
And so what if a UFC event takes longer than its allotted 140-minutes? How hard would it be for Dana White to cut a deal with PPV? I don't think the UFC fans would mind seeing more fights with more action.
Even if this rather extreme trial test should fail, and it turns out that some fights still last a long time, I'm still against rounds. Perhaps a 30-minute time limit should be instituted, at least on an experimental basis.
To keep the offense moving crisply the referees need to be more interactive—they should issue more concise warnings, and stand the fighters up sooner during ground stalls and fence clinches.
As I touched on, each yellow card issued means a 10 percent purse deduction. This rule should keep the action pretty intense, especially when the fighters know that a third yellow card will result in a disqualification.
As a battle wears on and fatigue sets in, the fight will slow down—as it should. However, if a fighter stops moving despite the verbal warnings and two yellow cards, the referee should pull a third yellow card and stop the fight, declaring the aggressor the victor.
The third yellow card ought to be shown sparingly, but fighters should know that it will be pulled if they flagrantly stall or break the rules.
The referee's primary function, besides ensuring fighter safety and enforcing the rules, is to make sure the fighters are engaging each other at all times.
I'm trying to visualize how the Sakuraba vs. Royce Gracie ninety-minute marathon might have gone if: there were no rounds and no gloves in Pride. I really believe the fight would have gone to the ground fairly soon. Somebody would have been submitted within twenty-minutes or so.
I don't believe that many UFC fights will go more than a half hour even with the time cap, so long as the referees work hard to keep the action going. But inevitably some fights will continue on. A series of three five-minute overtimes would help to insure a final victor. The minutes should be tacked-on as the combatants fight.
Round breaks would defeat the purpose. The breaks will refresh the fighters, and increase the odds that the fight will last longer. Then fighter safety becomes at risk. In the rare event a fight does goes the whole 45 minutes, it is ruled a draw.
Also, it's important to note that there is very little risk of breaking your hand on a moving opponent during stand-up exchanges. Here's why: the face is a lot softer (especially with a mouthpiece in) than is than the back of the head.
The fighters will learn soon enough: In ground 'n pound situations palm strikes will protect the hands—in the long-run, palm strikes are more effective on the ground anyway.
Yes, these would be drastic renovations indeed. My theories are far-reaching. The UFC would wind up going full circle, but not without significant modifications.
What you have read is merely a rough sketch—a series of ideas in which to improve or remove the inadequate UFC scoring system. Please feel free to offer any ideas you may have on the judging situation. What's your opinion? I'd like to know.

When was there not a mess happening in Caanan, Sumaria and Judea? Since the Roman's took the land and called it Philistine (world famous "indian givers" (being a trade route, where Afria, Asia and Europe).. "no man's... nomadic tribe land).
The walls and searches have curbed the suicide bombings, so it's working and why the walls should remain. It's not apartide.
Palestine flies the same flag as Jordan, not Israel.

It is always a ho garden
Idk, I wasn't a big fan but I did like it better than blue moon which is over rated imho. Liked Leffe Blonde though.
_________________________________Skal! Den Faaborg Bryggeri
Well... that totally just shattered my vision of early 20-something women frollicking around a Victorian fountain. Shame, it was a really NICE vision...
I didn't think much of Hoegaarden... it's alright, drinkable enough, but not particularly interesting.
Blue Moon is a tasty beverage that I can drink alot of and enjoy, and Shock Top is even better in my book.
There was a time a couple years back where the six-pack carrier had a pull out handle (kind of like in a popup book) that when pulled revealed "WHO-GAR-DEN" under the handle.
I like hoegaarden mainly for the true belgian yeast profile that you can taste over bluemoon and shocktop.. I think bluemoon and shocktop are fermemted with a clean yeast! anyone know?

In honor of the 20th Anniversary of Nas' classic album Illmatic and the fact I've been able to see him perform live twice this year, I present "Samplematic".
This is a showcase of memorable Nas samples and how they were flipped in the songs that used them. The mix spans Nas' entire career, beginning with Illmatic and ending with Life Is Good, similar to how his live shows have been. Nas has so much great music so it was tough to choose just an hour's worth of songs, but that's just a testament to how much he's meant to hip hop. So whether you are a listener, blunthead, fly lady or prisoner, I'm sure you'll enjoy this.

Hi all,
Been browsing these forums for a while now and gotten some great ideas, so many thanks in advance for all those. I have a question I'm hoping someone has experience with. I did a quick search but couldn't find my answer here already, hope I'm not asking a very dumb question.
I'm attempting to turn my keezer into a stand-alone kitchen island, but I don't want to put a skin over the whole exterior (too much work, time, money). So that means sturdy enough to be topped with a heavy wooden butcher block, I want it too look good all 4 sides (even the back), and I want to minimize the amount of wires and stuff hanging off of it, even the back side (ideally just one: the power cord).
I went with small 5.0 Black & Decker freezer (kitchen isn't huge) and a Thompson A419 temp controller (pretty sure I'd end up frying me, the feezer, or both based on some wiring diagrams for other controllers. I'm trying to keep it simple on the grounds that I'm stupid).
Ideally the A419 gets mounted inside the compressor compartment and the probe goes through that wall into the freezer, keeping the outside of the keezer simple and neat. In order to minimize external wires/stuff I've come up with a couple solutions to the temp probe problem. Maybe you can tell me which is best (or if there is a better one):
1) drill through the walls of the compressor hump. Hopefully no coolant lines here? Ideally I'd drill right next to where the existing thermostat probe is. Has anyone tried this? After reading these forums I'm super nervous about drilling anywhere near a freezer. I tried turning on the feezer and ID'ing coolant lines based on condensation patterns but I'm really not confident that I found them all (or any really). I assume these internal walls are not being used as heat-sinks and I don't have to worry about that (?).
2) I tried removing the existing thermostat probe and pushing the thompson probe through the factory-drilled hole. No luck: it's too thick. Can I replace the thompson probe with a smaller gauge probe? Maybe even rip apart the thermostat that came with the freezer and swap the probes? Is it OK to have the original freezer thermostat probe just sort of hanging out of the way in the recessed compressor compartment? It's not functioning at this point anyway, right? Maybe my best bet is to drill exactly where the existing hole is and increase the diameter of that hole to accommodate the thompson probe diameter?
3) Return the thompson temp controller and either fiddle with the coarse-adjust on the freezer thermostat or go with something like the STC-1000 and hope my hair doesn't come out looking like I tried sucking on an extension cord.
Any advice and/or experience is appreciated!
I'd be careful with what you put around the freezer as it has to be able to reject heat in order to work properly. As far as being neat and having only one wire that is very possible. For example, with my controller I tapped into the connections for the existing 120VAC plug to power it.
To answer your questions:
1) My freezer came with a diagram that illustrated where every coolant line was. Double check all your manuals to see if you have that.
2) I would think you probably can't use the existing probe. Maybe so, but probably not. Best bet is probably to open up the existing hole.
3) I'm not familiar with the Thompson controller, but it's not like you'll need a controller with all kinds of features. You're opening and closing a contact based on a singular input. As long as the controller can handle the power flow and be programmed to a particular setpoint it should be workable.
Do not drill through walls. Freezers are wrapped in coolant panels, and you'll have wasted a freezer. Try running the probe through the bottom drain hole possibly?
You could always build a platform to raise it up and the controller in the platform.
As for the controller I love my Johnson *rimshot*.
In all seriousness though, it works well, and its easy to use.
I think he may have the Johnson controller. He says he has the A419 Thompson - A 419 is one of the Johnson controllers... Coincidence? I have the Johnson A419 on my keezer and it couldn't be any simpler - plug in, program and go.
Johnson, Thompson. Yup. I never claimed to be knowing what I was doing. Johnson A419 it is.
There's no diagram of where coolant lines are in the manual, and there doesn't seem to be much on-line either. I called customer service and they basically couldn't help and didn't know anyone who could. They said, "my understanding is there is coolant in all three walls and the lid". Which is patently false, there absolutely is not any coolant in the lid. But I didn't think pointing that out would really get me anywhere.
Thanks for the input - I think I'll see about increasing the size of the existing hole for the factory temp probe on the factory thermostat.
One thing of note: It's pretty near impossible to disassemble the freezer's thermostat and move that temp probe over to the Johnson control unit. The freezer being mechanical and the Johnson probe not being mechanical, there's no obviously easy way to attach the freezer thermostat probe to the johnson controller. Actually, it's not very difficult disassembling the freezer's thermostat, but it's dang near impossible to get it back together and working again with just two hands.
Ok, so another quick question: Are there 10" long and 4" wide wall-mount drip trays (and if so, could someone please link me)? My perhaps questionable searching skills find none for sale in conventional internet places (ebay, amazon, various beer and restaurant equipment sites).
10" long seems just about right for optimum aesthetically pleasing distance of my 2 shanks/taps (and the option to add a 3rd later). But a 6" wide drip tray seems way too wide, it would stick out too far from the size of the keezer (for my liking). All the 4" wide drip trays are 6" long or shorter meaning I'd have to crowd the taps closer together than I'd want.
More dumb questions:
Is it OK to mount the Johnson A419 control unit inside the freezer? I couldn't find any specs on it that said what temperatures the unit itself (not the probe) was designed to function at.
Also, if I want to remove the AC power cords (to shorten them, or run them through a hole in the collar) from the controller, how do you remove the clamp that keeps them from being pulled out of the blue case? I've never seen a cable clamp like that before and would like to minimize my chances of messing up an expensive piece of equipment.
Another question, hopefully someone can help.
I'm looking to attach the drip tray to the side of the freezer. I'd thought magnets would be nice as it can easily be removed for cleaning. Also no drilling. Local stores don't seem to sell any nearly strong enough.
Can anyone recommend really good strong magnets that might serve this function? I've seen some good looking ones, but at ~$30 a pop plus shipping and tax, I would rather know that they will work for this application prior to purchasing.
Thanks again!

Arrived today--the doormat was shipped flat, which was a pleasant surprise. It is huge and sturdy, and will look great in front of exterior double-doors. These heavy-duty, recycled-rubber mats will hold up to almost anything--probably the last doormat you'll ever need!
High quality, looks great, seems like it will be long-lasting.
I love this doormat! I decided to go with the larger size and am very glad. I have normal-to-large sized single-door entries (not double doors as some reviewers have), and I've always been annoyed with how traditionally-sized mats would slide around and never be where I needed them to be to actually step on them. This mat covers the entire width of my entryway, does not slide, and is nice and deep, so it's easy to step onto it instead of over it when exiting. It's strikingly attractive. I do wonder what it will be like to use in winter, when there's ice, snow, and melting ... but I feel certain I'll prefer it to wet, frozen coir.
I didn't think I could get this excited about a doormat. The Renaissance pattern is intricate and decorative yet unobtrusive, well-executed in Indian rubber. Heavy enough to stay in place while in use, easy to roll up to sweep beneath. A far superior product to anything I've seen for sale at a retail store.
Beautiful and sturdy. This is the second one I bought.
We love this door mat! It looks great! Our front door is pretty big and this large rug looks fantastic!! Would definitely buy it again!
Great Mat for your porch. It's kind of expensive, but worth it.
This front door mat has been a welcome addition to our front porch. It is large enough cover the entry point at the front door. Other mats that I had considered looked too narrow. Our front door is flanked by long skinny windows on each side and the smaller mats looked too small. This one is perfect! And, it is pretty heavy, so there is no chance of it blowing away or moving around on one of our really windy nights.
Door mat quality is great. Love the look of it. It was even better than I expected based on the picture.
This mat is perfect for double door entry! The rubber is thick and the design is sharp. You will not be disappointed with this purchase.
