1. Last weekend I went to see SweetiePie and we ventured off to Ikea. Here's a tip — don't go to Ikea on a Saturday that's remotely close to Christmas. It was worth it though, look at the cute wrapping paper we found!
2. We've been having a big clean out at work. We're soon going to be squishing from 4 big buildings into 2, so there's a big purge in the works. (Happily I'm not going to go into my "Who in the *&(% came up with the honeycomb cubicle concept that's causing 70% of American companies to follow each other over the cliff?" rant. Because there IS a rant and it's a BIG one.) There's a community book table for the clean out, and one day, this old Kaffe knitting book showed up. I nabbed it, but I already have a copy, so I thought one of you might like it. It's free if you're willing to pay the postage. Just leave a comment telling me you want it. It looks like it could be sent as media mail for around $4.00 in the states.
3. Not much to report on the Aunts' Quilt this week. I'm still making fabric choices for month 2. In the meantime, check out the great tutorial that Meredithe has posted for a no waste method of creating the flying geese pieces that we need for the pieced blocks. Thanks Meredithe!
4. The weather in parts of the states last week was awful! I like winter, so I don't usually complain about the cold, but, according to the weather channel, "These 20 U.S. Cities Are Allowed To Complain About The Cold". We came in at number 10 which is really surprising to me. Surely there are much colder cities north of us? We even beat out Detroit and Cleveland. And we're only one rank lower than Buffalo — What??? That's pretty impressive — we're in the top 10. I'll try not to take advantage of our new found privilege this winter, but at least you know, if i do complain … it's well deserved! (Also, if you are my children, please note: There IS more that one skyscraper in your po-dunkey hometown!)
5. On that note, the Scruffster would like to tell you to stay warm and get some rest. Especially if you're an American preparing for Thanksgiving this week!
Anyway, it's been a lot of fun — I love this project so far. Several of you Auntlets have completed your first month too — Congratulations. It's worth taking a peek at those links in my sidebar — some of the Auntlets are sharing their blocks as they finish them.
Don't worry if you're an Auntlet with a slow start. We're not on a strict schedule. I'm not going to beat you or publicly shame you if you don't keep up. Although, I would like you to consider that one problem might be that you aren't snacking enough while you sew. Chocolate is always good to fortify a girl. And Cookies (ok, biscuits for those of you down under) are a must. I've decided I'm going to have to have a cookie of the month. This month it's definitely been Rice Krispy Cookies.
And now, on to the next month's assignment. It's going to be tougher to keep up — the holidays are looming!
Handmade Scandinavian Christmas has over 120 projects in more than 150 pages. My favorite thing about this book is that it is full of ideas for a simple holiday season, and many of the projects are meant to be done with children and other family members — and that's what the holiday season is all about, isn't it?
There are so many topics in this book, it's hard to even know where to start to tell you about it. The author has thought of everything for your holidays — here's a list of some of the chapter titles: Preparing for Christmas, For the Birds, Perfect Presents, For Little Hands, Almost Christmas, Christmas Flowers, Tasty Presents, Sweet Christmas, Wrapped with Love, The Scent of Christmas and Cakes Galore.
Some of my favorite ideas are all of the paper and nature crafts,
the many food gift ideas,
lots of gift wrap ideas (eeek! a yoyo!),
and a whole section of advent calendars, just to name a few.
And then, there are super simple ideas that you don't really even need instructions for, but you need the book to give you the cool idea. Look, a snow heart. I love it.
The photography in the book is beautiful. Snow. (Snow!) Children. It makes you even feel like you're in Scandinavia.
Probably my favorite section in the book is the section on gifts to make ('cause you know, I like to make things.) There are lots of projects with great instructions. I decided to try out the instructions for a knitted hot pad.
This was a simple, quick project and you can change it up a little and make it your own. I chose to add the little bake tag. I think these hotpads would make really cute Christmas gifts. (Oh, and just so you aren't confused by the scale of the hotpad, those aren't full-size utensils there. But, it is a generous sized hot pad!)

It's been fun to see what books and projects the other bloggers have selected this month — and we're only halfway through the blog hop!
It's been just your average week here in ThimbleannaLand — nothing much exciting happened as another week sped by, hurtling us into the Holiday Abyss. I managed to order some yarn for a Christmas project — I hope it gets here in a hurry. With nothing really accomplished this week (I did manage to clean the pantry and do a lot of filing, but there's not much picture worthy in those activities), I thought I'd show you some socks I finished a few months ago.
Do you remember this Downton Abbey sock yarn that I bought almost two years ago? (Oh my gosh, that made me think about dates. It will soon be Twenty Fifteen. I think I feel sick.)
On my way out the door for my trip to Australia, I grabbed this yarn so that I'd have something to knit on the airplane. And Boy, is there a LOT of airplane knitting time on the way to Australia. Especially if you're sitting next to the row of crying babies on one side and someone who was coughing and blowing her nose (poor thing) for the whole trip on the other side. Knit. Knit. Knit. It makes the time pass more quickly. By the time we landed, I'd almost turned the heels on a pair of socks.
Then, we had more airplane time within Australia. And Kellie's children were so intrigued about what I was knitting, that I knew I really needed to finish these socks before I left to return home. I wanted them to be able to see how those tubes hanging on the needle would become a pair of socks. I knit a lot and managed to finish the socks the day before my trip ended. Just in time to take advantage of Jessie who happily provided International Sock Modeling Services.
The pattern is the Mockery Sock pattern that is available as a free Ravelry download. The yarn is by Lorna's Laces. And, in true Lorna's Laces fashion, there was some pooling on top of the ankle, but it wasn't too bad.
Jessie's feet aren't as big as mine, so those socks are a little big for her, but I thought she did a great job modeling. Plus, we had a lot of fun crawling around on the rocks in the blazing sun. As I mentioned in my Australia posts, is was about 40 degrees C (just over 100 F) every day in Kakadu. Jessie was a great sport to put wool socks on in the heat. We took pictures in a hurry!
I hope you're having a good weekend. These Downton Abbey socks are going to be put to good use here this week — we're expecting a blast of cold air! If you are too, I hope you can stay warm!
Anyway, while I slowly breathe in and breathe out to calm myself … I had some questions about the picture I posted of Winston the other day, so I thought I'd try and answer them. Our little picture taking adventure all started when MyDadLovesMeBestSister asked me if I'd take some senior pictures of CuteNiece2. We'd all been thinking about what we wanted to do, and at the last minute, I suggested that we grab the dog and some goggles that I gave CrazyBIL last year for Christmas and see what happened. We ended up with this fun picture of a girl, her car and her dog.
I love that picture! (Oh, and hey — while we're on her pictures — CuteNiece2 went to all the work to become a certified Yoga instructor last year. Hey all you yogis out there –can you do this pose??? My arms hurt just looking at it!)
Anyway, back to the dog pictures. The next week Winston came to visit and we thought we'd try to get some more fun goggle pictures. (For those of you having trouble keeping up (ha!), Teddy is 4 years old and belongs to MyDadLovesMeBestSister and Winston is 1 year old and belongs to TheFirstChild and SweetiePie. They're both F1 Goldendoodles.) So, we put the dogs where all dogs love to be, near a fire hydrant. With balloons and goggles. (Teddy on the left, Winston on the right.)
Winston did NOT want to wear those goggles. Like the senior photo, we tried the dogs in the car. First with both dogs in the front seat. That definitely wasn't working. However, we did get proof that Winston would wear the googles over his eyes for a minute or two. Teddy on the left, Winston on the right.
This was my favorite dog photo that afternoon. Both dogs happy. Teddy driving his good buddy around for the day. (And by the way, it wasn't totally ridiculous to get balloons for the dogs — they were both celebrating their birthdays that week!)
Hopefully, dogs in goggles with balloons brightened your day a little.
Btw, how are you Auntlets (that's what I'm going to call you if you're participating in the Aunts' Quiltalong!) coming with your quilts? Have you made a good start? I'm almost done with my assignment this month. Plus, I made a list of those of you participating over there in my sidebar. I KNOW I've left some of you out. I know for sure that I've forgotten one of you — I can see your e-mail but I can't find it and I can't remember your name. I'm SO sorry. PLEASE e-mail me and remind me and I'll add you to the list.
A few months ago a little friend of SweetiePie's was joking with me and she mentioned how much she'd like to have something made by me. She's a cutie and conveniently, her birthday was coming up, so I came up with a plan. She lives in NYC and she walks a lot and she mentioned that if I made some sort of a bag it would be nice if it was big enough for her tennis shoes. She also mentioned that she loves pink and aqua, and she loves to go to yoga classeses, so I decided to make her an over-sized bag with a yoga theme.
I chose the Reversible Sunday Sling pattern by Amy Butler and I raided my little etsy shop and used Up Parasol by Heather Bailey, Surprise Birthday in Pink, and an essex linen in flax. The biggest problem that I have with bags is that the handles wear out too quickly, so I replaced the fabric handles from the pattern with some leather handles. Then, I highlighted some circles on the front of the bag – yoga symbols from embroidery library, a flower from Up Parasol and an M for her first name. (I think the peace sign is my favorite. Rumor has it that she liked the yoga girl the best.)
I left the back of the bag plain, to save her some embarrassment, in case the front was too much for her. I'll admit, this bag didn't turn out exactly the way I pictured it in my mind. That aqua (teal?) fabric is a leeeetle bit bright (I think I would have liked a subtle lime green better, but I was trying to deliver on the aqua preference). And, while I love that Up Parasol print, it looks like it's screaming at you when you look at the bag.
But. I LOVE those leather straps and the style of the bag. When it's slung over the shoulder it's SO comfortable. So, I decided I could overlook the irritants. Especially, when you consider it really hurts the eyes to look inside the bag. The Up Parasol and the Happy Birthday REALLY don't go together, but I HAD to use the Happy Birthday print. It was a Birthday Present! I figured my little friend is the only one who will see the inside, and I hope she smiles each time she looks in there and remembers that this was for her birthday.
I also personalized the inside of the bag with a "This bag belongs to ____" embroidery. The inside pleat gets in the way a little, but it's ok.
This was a really fun bag to make and I'm hoping to make another one sometime for me. It's such a comfortable bag to carry around and I love the little pleats here and there. I hope my little friend will get lots of use out of it!
TheFirstChild and SweetiePie were gone for a week and we got to dogsit. Cute little Winston is still a high-energy puppy and he took up all of my extra time. We had lots of fun taking walks, playing with his cousin dogs, and taking a few pictures. He did NOT want to wear those goggles, poor little guy! (But, ever the gentleman, he's always wearing his bow tie.)
Anyway, one last post from Australia. I saved the fun stuff for last. Kellie took me to some beautiful shops. First up was Sunspun — not a fabric shop, but since I love to knit, just as good!
What a fun little shop — packed FULL of pretty yarns and samples.
Yarn shops confuse me. I can't buy yarn like I do fabric — maybe because I'm not a scrap knitter like I'm a scrap quilter. I have to have a specific project in mind when I buy yarn. So, in spite of all the beauty, I walked away with just a pattern book. I'd like to chalk it up to self control, but confusion is the true story! It was a wonderful stop though.
Then we were on to Amitie where we met up with Jan. And I met Louise – SO fun! Oh, and Judy Newman was there too, so it was really fun to meet her. I know I'm forgetting someone else — I was in a fabric stupor.
Look at all that gorgeous fabric — and all in Amitie style. Shelves of Liberty!
A pile of fabulous quilts, with our star, The Aunt's Quilt on top of the pile. I don't know what I was thinking — WHY didn't I get a good picture of THE quilt??? Or any of them, for that matter!
Here's a shot of the lucious quilts in the front window. I was so busy looking at everything and just enjoying it all and I'm sad that I didn't get more pictures. ;-( It was SO amazingly inspirational though — I was overwhelmed. Amitie certainly lived up to her reputation!
After Amitie, Kellie, Jan and I had a fun lunch catching up and then Jan took me for the afternoon and evening. I have to stop here for a minute and rave about the food that Kellie and Jan made for me while I was in Australia. We don't eat much lamb (well, any, really), but in Australia they have it quite a bit. The first night Kellie made delicious lamb chops (I bought some for TheManoftheHouse to try when I got back and they're not called lamb chops but that's what they look like — it's more like a roast) and roasted potatoes. Later in the week, Kellie also made lamb strapback (I hope that's what you call it) with the most delicious fruit salad I've ever had — she drizzled it with some sort of basalmic molasses (that I sadly can't find here). Words just can't describe those delicious meals!
Then, the night Jan took me to her house, she plopped this jumbo bowl of grilled pineapple and prawns in front of me. I thought it was our main meal, but it was the appetizer. And, being from the landlocked midwest, it was my first experience actually peeling the shrimp, which Jan's girls thought was hysterical. They were probably wondering how I escaped from my corn field! Dinner was a delicious roasted lamb (which I thought was beef until the next day) with roasted pumpkin and vegetables. And THEN, Jan had invited Meredithe to dinner and it was so fun to meet her. We were so busy talking that I didn't get any pictures of all of her beautiful quilts. (And trust me, that's a tragedy. Because, you guys. These girls are all Australian quilters. By default, all their quilts are beautiful!) Since we were having an all Aussie dinner, Jan requested that Meredithe bring an Aussie dessert, and what's more Aussie than Pavlova? It was amazing — I LOVE bananas and raspberries — maybe I was an Aussie in another life!
Such a fun night and I was sad to leave the girls, but time was short and there was much to do. The next day, Kellie took me out to the country. We had the best day and went to another beautiful little quilt shop.
Mill Rose is just full of fabric. Feast your eyes on all that Liberty! There was some serious drooling and fondling going on in this room.
Another big room of fabric — behind that brown row of fabric is another double-wide aisle of beautiful prints.
What a fun little quilt shop. After all that fondling and shopping, we were parched and hungry, so we went next door and had a delicious lunch in the Mill Cottage.
I didn't buy much fabric. It's easy to be restrained — not that I didn't LOVE all the fabrics, but we're so spoiled with prices here in the states — we pay less than half of what fabric costs in AU. I couldn't resist buying just a little though, so, here's a picture of my purchases.
From Mill Rose, the six prints on the left are Terra Australis by Emma Jansen. Can you see the boomerangs, kangaroos, and Australian continents? I had to have a little souvenir! And the prints on the left and across the bottom are from Amitie — just some low volume prints that I loved.
So, that's it. Whew! What a fun trip, made all the better because I was able to see Australia with friends. Kellie is always so good to me, and I miss her and her cute little family.
Oh, one last picture. You can't take all those road trips and fondle all that fabric without some sustenance. I now have two new candy favorites (which I can't find here boohoo!) — The fantales are sort of like a big milk dud — caramel and chocolate, what's not to love? And the Babies are like Gummi Bears — only WAY better. Way, way better. And, in case you didn't know, they're pronounced "Baaayyyyybies" — as in "The Dayngo ayte mah Baaayyyyyby!"
I originally thought we would do one pieced block and one applique block per month until we were done. But, upon further inspection, it looks like we need to do two pieced blocks and one applique block per month if we want to finish this quilt in a year — and we DO want to finish in a year, right? That way, you can be done and ready for quilting before Christmas, next year.
So, here's a schedule that I thought we could follow:
Month 1: Block 1 and 2 pieced blocks
Month 2: Block 2 and 2 pieced blocks
Month 3: Block 3 and 2 pieced blocks
Month 4: Block 4 and 2 pieced blocks
Month 5: Block 5 and 2 pieced blocks
Month 6: Block 6 and 2 pieced blocks
Month 7: 4 inset triangles
Month 8: 4 inset triangles
Month 9: 2 inset triangles and 2 corners
Month 10: 2 corners and construct quilt and attach border background
Month 11: Side scallops
Month 12: Top and bottom scallops
I'll be here to remind you of the schedule each month and generally cheer you along. We'll base our months on the 15th of each month — so the first month will be Oct. 15th – Nov. 15th (we're late already!). I debated about taking a month off during the holidays, but instead, I think we'll just keep a schedule and if you get behind, you can use the slow winter months (I don't think we have any participants from down under, do we?) to catch up.
I've also debated about ways to share our progress. For those of you who have blogs, let me know you're playing along and I'll add your blog name to the side bar. If you don't have a blog and you want to send me pictures each month, I'll be happy to share them here, on my blog. AND, if you have instagram, let's post progress under the hashtag "#theauntsquilt" — there are already a few pictures from Australian quilters under that hashtag.
Also, a few of you mentioned that you are new to applique, so I thought I'd show you my favorite way to make the bias strips that we'll need for the stems on our applique blocks. Years ago, I used to do needle turn stems and, one day, MeMum showed me this technique and changed my applique world. It's SO much easier than any other method I've seen. You'll need a set of bias bars. I've seen them in metal and nylon and either kind work just fine.
You need to cut bias strips of your stem fabric. To calculate how wide to cut your bias strip, take the finished size of your bias stem, multiply by two, and add 3/4″. So, if you're making a 3/8″ bias stem: 3/8″ x 2 = 3/4″ + 3/4″ = 1 1/2″. You would cut your bias strip 1 1/2″ wide.
Here, try another one. If you're making a 1/4″ bias stem: 1/4″ x 2 = 1/2″ + 3/4″ = 1 1/4″. You would cut your bias strip 1 1/4″ wide. Make sense?
Fold your bias strip wrong sides together. (Don't make the mistake that I make when I'm on auto-pilot and sew right sides together or you'll be unpicking.) Then, stitch a generous 1/4″ from the raw edges.
If your finished bias stem will be 3/8″ or smaller, you may need to trim your 1/4″ seam just a little bit.
Insert the rounded end of the bias bar into your tube of fabric and shift the seam toward one side of the bias stem. Press the seam flat, shifting the bias bar along the length of the tube as you press.
When you flip your bias stem over, you won't be able to see the seam. In the blurry picture below, the wrong side of the bias stem is the top strip, and the right side is shown in the bottom strip.
Pretty slick, huh? When you applique your strip down to your background fabric, the raw edge of the seam will be enclosed by your two rows of stitches. I love this method because there's no fabric turning involved — it's quick and easy!
Ok kids — get to work. I hope choosing fabrics will be easier for you than it is for me. The only decisions I've made so far are the green stripe for the stems and the same Kei dot fabrics that Gina used. I've pulled a bajillion fabrics from my stash and can't decide on anything. Also, if you have any suggestions for the quiltalong, I'm all ears! Good Luck!
Oh P.S. — Here's a little tip — when you have your fabrics pulled each month, you might want to cut a few of the scallops — it will save a lot of time at the end when we're making the scalloped borders!]]>
If you're like me, I didn't really know what Uluru was and I certainly didn't know that Australia is mostly desert. My Australian friends don't live in a desert, so I didn't really have any reason to suspect that such is the case. Anyway, Uluru is a big red rock smack dab in the middle of Australia and it's a sacred area to the Australian Aboriginal people. We were in the area for five days and it was Oh. So. Hot! We mostly did things in the mornings, hung out at the pool in the afternoons and then did things again at night.
We saw and hiked around Uluru:
Went on a camel ride: (Did you know Australia has the world's largest feral camel population? I thought it was all koalas and kangaroos!)
Had a dinner in the desert, watched the sunset and enjoyed a spectacular evening under the stars:
Hiked around the Olgas:
And saw a hat tree out in the middle of nowhere.
What we didn't see were kangaroos, in spite of the traffic sign!
After Uluru, we flew to Darwin and spent 5 days in Kakadu. Kakadu is at the northern end of Australia and if Uluru was Oh. So. Hot., Kakadu was Hotter. Than. Hades. It was around 100 degrees everyday and because it's pretty tropical, it was humid. Our schedule here was much the same as in Uluru — afternoons near the pool! A wetter climate in Kakadu means that there was a lot more wildlife to see, which I loved.
The first day we were there, we took a river cruise. There were two boats on our cruise — the other boat was full of cute little aboriginal children who were being taught about their heritage:
We saw LOTS of crocs in the water and on the river banks:
The rest of our outings at Kakadu were hikes in different beautiful areas.
We saw a TON of bats hanging from trees:
Amazing birds:
Enormous termite mounds: (Look! Native Australian Children!)
Stunning scenery:
Warning signs everywhere:
Aboriginal art:
And, on our last day in Kakadu, I asked a park ranger where oh where could we go to see a kangaroo in the wild. He said they only had wallaroos in Kakadu and they generally didn't come out until dusk. So, we headed to a billabong at dusk. It. Was. Divine. It was so fun to see all the wildlife that seemed to hide during the heat of the day — it was like a scene at an african water hole that you see on National Geographic (minus the big animals!). We even saw a few wallaroos!
Whew! Tired yet? Thanks for sticking it out through all the pictures. My pictures don't even come close to doing justice to the beauty that is Australia!
Just one more Australia post left — Fabric — and Friends!
It's so hard to even know where to start, but my trip sort of neatly divided itself into parts, so I'm going to follow it's lead.
Some of you may remember that last fall, Kellie and her family visited the states and I met them in New York City for a few days and we had a blast. So, when Kellie invited me to come on their Australian vacation with them, it was an offer that was too hard to resist. I spent the first four days of my trip in Melbourne, seeing a few of the sights and just playing and having fun with Kellie and her family. I was also thrilled when it worked out that I was able to spend an afternoon and evening with Jan (who came to market with Kellie three times) and an hour or so with Kathy (who came to market with Kellie once). The best part of the trip was visiting and catching up! So, I'll tell you about the Melbourne part of the trip first, and save the vacation, fabric stores, and food for another day.
Kellie picked me up from the airport in the morning and immediately took me to a super cute little garden center that had a tea shop. We had scones with jam and clotted cream and I was in heaven — I felt like I was back in the UK! Did I take any pictures? No. I was too busy rolling my eyes over the delicious mile-high scone!
We did see a kookaburra right away though. At least Kellie assured me that it was a kookaburra (and it sure looks like the ones on the internet) but I was skeptical. I mean, does that look like an old gum tree to you???
After our morning tea, Kellie took me to Williamstown where we walked around and saw some beautiful views of the harbor and Melbourne across the bay. We also had a delicious lunch of fish and chips while in Williamstown — fish and chips … scones … where am I???
I loved seeing all the houses — the architecture is so different from ours here in the midwest. The only thing I knew about houses in Australia is what I saw decades ago on The Thornbirds (ha!) so it was fun to see so many verandahs with fretwork.
The next day, we went fabric shopping and met up with Jan. Jan then took me on a whirlwind tour of downtown Melbourne. More confusion with the mother country — London style shopping arcades.
And c'mon — tell me this doesn't look like a European pastry shop. Oh My!
Lots of fantastic artwork in downtown Melbourne. I didn't get a lot of pictures — it was crowded and we were hustling. I did want to remember the flying pig and the one-eyed monster though.
The third day was a fun fabric excursion (more later) and on my last full day in Victoria, we left Melbourne for the country to see some animals. When Kellie asked me what I wanted to do while in Melbourne I jokingly said "Hold a Koala and see a kangaroo in the wild" (Yeah, yeah — you Aussies can make fun of me now!) My wish was her command, although the kangaroo in the wild part proved to be a little problematic.
Anyway, I have no idea where we went (I really should have paid attention), but we went to a small animal park somewhere out in the country. You're not allowed to actually hold koalas in Victoria, but you can get close to them and pet them. The picture below is my very favorite, even though it's blurry. (It's a running joke with my camera — whenever someone offers to take a picture of me, the focus almost always ends up on the background. If you're the person who took the pictures (and you know who you are LOL), in your defense, the others were in focus but I look much better blurry ;-D ).
Lots of kangaroos — even if they're not in the wild.
And we think we have problems getting our kids to leave home. This little guy was really crowded in that pouch — no room for his feet in the house!
Is that an Australian Emu?
Because this is what Americans think of as an Emu. ;-P
And sheepies. Australian SHEEPIES!!!! Look how cute. That one in the front has a little curly top and the one in the back must be the male — he's bald.
The scenery in the countryside was beautiful. Unfortunately I didn't get very many pictures — I was always too busy talking.
And back to Melbourne — I'd had no idea it's such a big city!
I know that doesn't seem like a lot for four days, but there was a lot of fabric and talking tucked in there. More on those later. In the meantime, have a great weekend!
P.S. All you Aunt's Quilt ladies should be starting to get your patterns in the mail. Use this week to gather your thoughts and fabrics and whatever else you need and we'll get going in ten days or so. If you didn't get a pattern and want one, don't despair just yet — I still have a few that haven't been claimed, so we'll see what happens in the next few days.]]>

The consortium of professional instructors at Fred Astaire Dance Studios, which was cofounded by the legendary toe tapper himself, shepherds students of all ages and skill levels through lessons that span the style spectrum. Low-pressure private sessions allow enthusiastic teachers to fine-tune individual students' techniques and form, using their expert eyes and mechanical dancing shoes preprogrammed to do the Charleston. Patrons can learn how to cavort through classic waltz and fox-trot romps or swivel through the modern steps of salsa, swing, or samba. For dancers hoping to hoof it up in a social setting, the group practice parties provide a one-night extravaganza of instruction, demonstrations, and amateur firewalking.
Professional dancing partners Katia Kuznetsova and Cristiano Callegari bring more than just a passion for dance to their students. The duo earned top marks in national and international competitions such as the Ohio Star Ball and the UK Open, which, in addition to certification by the National Dance Council of America, makes them experts in dance styles including Latin, ballroom, and wedding dance. They also surround themselves with like-minded experts, recruiting professional dance instructors versed in country-western dancing, swing, Salsa, and hip-hop. When she isn't illuminating the dance floor, Zumba instructor Shara Hymowitz leads fitness disciples of all ages along the path to better bodies during fun Zumba classes set to Latin rhythms. Instructors happily teach dancers of all skill levels, with lessons ranging from group classes that cover the fundamentals of dance to private instruction for advanced dancers or undercover cops looking to infiltrate the gang from West Side Story.
Athletic & Performing Arts Center is a one-stop shop for kids' fun and athletics. It was born when two of Houston's long-running kids' gymnastics and dance programs joined forces. Now under one name, the instructors lead a variety gymnastics classes from Teeter Toddler classes intended for tots 16 months-35 months old, to an assortment of tumbling classes for kids over 6 in a range of skill levels. Available dance classes include styles such as ballet, jazz, tap, and hip-hop. They also host open-play sessions, in which kids can blow off steam after a long day at the lemonade stand.
Jerit Pogue, the owner of the newly unified APAC, says that he and his fellow trainers and teachers love seeing the glow of accomplishment on the kids they train, whether they just walked off stage or mastered a new trick in practice. "We have kids who cry everyday because they don't want to leave," he says.

A bloody slaughterhouse. A strobe-lit maze patrolled by clowns. A zombie-infested bog. A room full of overdue utility bills. These are the most terrifying scenes humans can imagine, and many of them confront visitors to Screamworld, an attraction that stretches the haunted house experience across five uniquely spooky settings. Here, animatronic scares and disorienting lights lie in wait for groups, as do costumed actors seeking the perfect opportunity to spring from their hiding spots. Screamworld's performers don't shy away from offering an intense, frightening experience, and though the shrieks are all in good fun, the experience isn't recommended for children.
Inspiring those thrills and chills is practically an art form for Jim Fetterly, the mastermind behind Screamworld. Fetterly has designed annual haunted houses since 1989, so he and his team pride themselves on their ability to leave visitors with racing pulses, sweaty palms, and thoroughly spiked adrenaline levels. And their dedication has not gone unnoticed?America's Best Haunts continues to select Screamworld as one of the top haunted attractions in the country, while the Houston Chronicle hailed it as "Houston's longest-running and arguably best haunted house."
The Hershey Theatre, conceived in 1933 by noted philanthropist and chocolatier Milton S. Hershey, stands as an opulent tribute to the performing arts. Taking architectural cues from Saint Mark's Basilica in Venice, the foyer's towering arches gleam with golden paint and crystal chandeliers. The blue-and-gold mosaic that leads to the main seating area is the masterwork of two German artists who spent two years on its construction. Once inside the theater, audiences might think they've stepped onto the streets of Venice thanks to the atmospheric ceiling, stonework facades, and gondoliers paddling them to their seats. ####Bethel Woods Center for the Arts Music has permeated the 800 manicured acres where the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts has stood since 1969, when farmer Max Yasgur agreed to let love, peace, and harmony grow wild at the very first Woodstock festival. These days, the renowned outdoor venue and cultural center continues to attract the biggest acts in music to its pavilion stage. The open-air design ensures ample ventilation on the natural sloping lawn, and a roof protects up to 15,000 fans from inclement weather and the prying eyes of Cessna pilots.
Arthur Murray has been a leading name in franchise dance since 1912, when the entrepreneur began selling mail-order dance lessons. Expanding his reach, he enlisted teachers to spread his signature dance lessons on first-class steamships and skyrocketed to fame in the '30s after introducing the public to such dances as the Lambeth Walk and the Big Apple. By the 1950s, Arthur and his wife, Kathryn, were hosting their own highly popular TV show on ABC, the Arthur Murray Dance Party, which ran for 12 years. Today, Arthur Murray's team prepares students for rug cutting at special events and weekend nightclub jaunts. Clients who arrive to lessons partnerless will be paired up with other classmates as the instructors assess their current skill level and make recommendations on the most appropriate program. Throughout lessons, instructors teach the foundations of two to four dances from a long list of styles that range from Latin to country-western, helping students to learn basic step patterns, timing, and the ability to lead or follow.

Published: 02 May 2013
As David Cameron braced himself for heavy losses in elections today, one of the Tories' rising stars warned that voters have lost some trust in the Prime Minister's promises.
In an interview with the Evening Standard, Zac Goldsmith said the public was turned off by a "nudge-nudge, wink-wink" approach on airports policy and added that many simply did not believe the Premier's pledge of an EU referendum after the 2015 election.
"I don't think people on the streets are clear enough about what Cameron stands for — and that's a problem in politics," said Goldsmith. "You need to have a clear sense of direction and that cannot involve a lot of U-turns or nudge-nudge, wink-wink, which is effectively what our airports policy is.
"Even critics respect leadership and decisiveness and I do think we are lacking in that up to a point."
No one could accuse Goldsmith, 38, of being anything other than up-front. The MP for Richmond Park recently led a successful backbench revolt against the home extensions free-for-all and last weekend organised a rally of about 2,500 west Londoners against Heathrow expansion.
During an hour-long interview, he criticised Chancellor George Osborne for being too political and the Treasury for vetoing green policies. He criticised attacks on Ukip leader Nigel Farage and showered praise on Boris Johnson, saying: "I can imagine him as a future and very successful leader of the Conservative Party."
The Eton-educated son of the late billionaire financier Sir James Goldsmith arrived in a battered Toyota Prius held together by yards of black gaffer tape. "The policeman at the Commons offered me fifty quid for it," he smiled.
Choosing an outside table at the Orange Pekoe cafe in Barnes, he insisted on buying the coffees "in these Leveson times".
Only a few streets away, a huge crowd turned up last Saturday to protest the Tory retreat from its blanket ban on extra runways at Heathrow. "It's insane to go into an election with a question mark over the policy," he said. "It's worrying in all the areas that could be affected. People feel passionately about this."
He suspects Chancellor Osborne of putting Heathrow back on the agenda to signal the Tories' willingness "to do unpopular things for the economy".
And he went on: "It's pure politics. But I don't think it's clever politics." Had it weakened trust in the Conservatives? "Around here is has."
Sincerity is all-important to Goldsmith. "Politicians are so detested," he explained. "And the main cause is not policy, it's the fact that there is no trust. We need a better relationship between the people and those in power. This kind of stuff doesn't help."
The Chancellor — or the Treasury — cropped up again and again as a source of this distrust. He recalled Osborne making "the most important speech on the environment by any chancellor or shadow chancellor" when in opposition and mused: "I just sometimes wonder where that has gone. Who wrote that? Was it an entire fabrication or did he believe it?"
Goldsmith sees Osborne as a politically driven figure. "I think sometimes if you are too interested in day-to-day politics you lose sight of the long term."
He added: "If we learned one lesson from the 13 years of New Labour it is that you don't let the chancellor micro-manage the workings of each and every department. It doesn't work, no matter how brilliant a chancellor."
Green issues are vital to Goldsmith, who made his name before entering Parliament as a campaigning editor of Ecologist magazine, which was founded by his uncle Edward Goldsmith. He sees stewardship of the environment as a natural issue for Conservatives.
"There are Conservative approaches and socialist approaches — but you need to have an approach," he said. "Just to abandon any attempt to have an approach is not Right-wing, it's stupid. And it does sometimes characterise the approach of the Treasury."
London's Mayor gets a huge thumbs up. "Whatever that magic dust is that politicians dream of, Boris has got it.
"I've seen enough of him to know that he has conviction, he has got integrity, he has a clear idea of what he wants to achieve — but he's also willing to listen, which is crucial.
"You don't want pomposity and arrogance in a leader, or petulance. He's a secure enough figure to take on board opposing arguments."
Last year it was reported that Goldsmith offered up his seat for Boris to mount a Westminster by-election on the airports issue. Did they discuss the idea? Surprisingly, Goldsmith admitted they did. "I can't deny that ... because we did."
It came up, he said, only because someone showed them a blog sketching out such a scenario. "I can't say we didn't talk about it because we talked about the blog. It was not realistic. It was not a real conversation."
Another figure who impresses voters, he said, is the Prime Minister's current bogeyman, Nigel Farage. "He is very likeable and doesn't speak like a politician," said Goldsmith. "I think we could learn from him."
He said Ukip was "becoming a significant party" although some candidates were "worrying". Attacks by the big parties just made it stronger. "People are drawn to Ukip as the anti-establishment party," he said. "When all the mainstream parties gang up, it confirms their view."
Cameron's EU referendum pledge had been only "a partial game-changer" because there was so little trust in politics. "There's a 50-50 chance they don't believe the promise," he said.
Goldsmith urged the PM to risk a Coalition row by legislating before the election for the referendum. "There's a movement in the Conservative Party for this. I think it should be pursued. Let people know where their MPs stand on this big issue." He would vote to quit the EU unless Cameron secures reforms — "and I'm not sure he can".
He has no expectations and no ambition to be made a minister. He revealed that soon after the 2010 election he was offered a job as a parliamentary private secretary, the first rung on the ladder, but turned it down.
"I think I have a job to do on the back benches, holding the Government to account," he said. "I'm probably regarded as a bit of trouble. I shouldn't think I'm loved in No 10."
Goldsmith stood by his vow to force a by-election if the Conservatives back a third runway in this parliament. But what if the manifesto simply leaves it open for the Davies Commission to decide? "It's difficult," he said. "I would have to think about that."
He has not decided firmly to stand in 2015 — but who else, he mused, would campaign at Westminster against the over-use of antibiotics or to hold the Coalition to honour its vow to give voters a power of recall over errant MPs?
"I'm a compulsive campaigner," he shrugged. "I can't help it."

Here's my first of this season:
Leader of the Pack...
But with less noise and cleaner images, we escape from having to waste the time with extreme processing of the images.... And that gives us the speed, flexibility, and freedom you are looking for.... I think we are saying the same thing, just looking at it from different directions... I certainly agree with you.And that is what the debate is all about.... cleaner images. We all want the same thing
Nope, I disagree here: For me, dr is not about cleaner images, but about being able to capture a high-contrast scene with movement at all. This is my one and only point in the whole discussion.
Yes, you can do perfect exposure all the time to make use of 100% of the histogram, you can do extreme postprocessing and lift shadows until you end up with 1 bit resolution, you can even try to bracket scenes with movement and composite bright parts like the sky.
But basically, for me this is about speed, flexibility and freedom of shooting what you want - ignoring that these matter is lacking a bit of imagination what windy landscape/journalism/daylight spots & wildlife/... might need.so why are we attacking each other over this. Let's get along and try to be respectful.
+1 for that, the reason why CR is the only forum I participate in are the (usually...) nice and helpful interaction between regulars and new members alike. This and and the invisible pro moderation w/o "cleaning up" threads or throwing rules around in every thread.
I understand it is annoying if people feel some point is ignores because of brand loyalism, or on the other side of trolling or lack of photography knowledge. But personally, I feel we've got a very low level of either fanboyism or trolling around CR - look at some other forums and then return happily to CR :-)
Depending on the amount of stuff you are moving, it will probably go in a shipping container..... and that is a very safe way to travel.....Good day. Going to be relocating at the end of this month from continental US to Stavanger, Norway. Seeking advice from experienced travelers on best way to move equipment.
If you're moving with a pro movable company they'll take care of it.
I have moved all over the world and usually only take my camera and a small flexible lens (to have it for early photos) and my two most expensive lenses (>5.000$). The rest is a question of insurance. Any pro movable company will have an insurance that lets you replace broken/stolen items at your destination. Check this in advance and get anything you are unsure of in writing (seriously).
Any respectable movable company will also require that they - and they alone - package everything. Here the original lens cases etc. are best to use. That's what Canon thinks work - it'll work for you too. And the movable companies love them.
I also make sure to have two copies of all my pictures (raw etc.) on two disks. One in my computer to be shipped and a "spare" in my hand luggage. Highly recommended. Remember to check all electronics as soon as you get your stuff.
Finally, and important, some countries will not allow you to import expensive items that are less than typical three months old without paying high taxes just as some countries will not allow you to bring it in as travel luggage (because then it does not get registered and checked for sales date). My guess is that Norway will strict on the first count (3 or even 6 months) but will accept that you bring movable stuff in your travel luggage. Do yourself a potentially big favor and avoid any pain by checking this in advance. You can probably phone Norwegian customs and ask in English if your movable company does not know the answer to this (which could be a warning that they may not be the right people to deal with).
BTW. Norway is great for photography but also very dark. You will need the best high iso and fast lenses you can afford.
No experience with low-cost DIY packaging and shipping. But I know people who have tried going half way by going cheap with the movable company - trust me, there are many tears down that road.
Good luck!
Well, I just go to the ZOO in my home town, and see a lot of New breed of Animal/ Birds, and take a snap shots for you to proof too---No Photoshop involve. JUST KIDDING.WOW those are great!!!!
Well, The Following photos are by the PRO/ Photoshop PRO.---Not by me---Ha, Ha, Ha.
Have FUN.
I was pointing to his web site that touted a career as a C programmer but he had no clue what the missing DLL meant.
Yeah, something is definitely fishy here. It's his first post, and instead of asking for help, he just came to trash talk Canon on a Canon forum. When I saw the outrageous thread title, I immediately assumed it was a troll post from a Nikon user. While he may not be trolling, it is definitely not how you introduce yourself as a new member. What kind of response do you expect to get making a post like that?
If the OP is reading this and would actually like help, please post some useful information so we can actually help you troubleshoot the issue (Computer model, operating system version, etc...)
I agree that he didn't handle things well, but I got the impression he was/is angry and upset more than anything.
As for being a former c programmer for a investment fund (or something like that) I wouldn't interpret that as being an expert in everything computer related.
I have some background in programming too and I run into problems that frustrate the hell out of me every so often.
This is true. All the programmers that I'm friends with at least are very tech savvy though. I just made an assumption. I repair computers almost daily, and it's very difficult to diagnose and correct problems through email or over the phone with Windows machines. There's way to many variables to take into account with some people's setups. Windows is not sandboxed like Apple OS X is. Nearly any 3rd party software that is installed is capable of affecting system stability and performance. It could have simply been antivirus software or files that weren't updated because they were in use. A hard drive with unmapped failed sectors will cause corrupted files to be written, as well as a bad RAM module. A corrupted download could be to blame also. I breezed through the article on his web page just now, and he did mention using the system restore function. I usually resort to this as a last ditch effort, as it rarely fixes things without making more of a mess in the process. You can't really expect Canon to be able to troubleshoot issues like this, unless it is a known issue with a workaround (i.e. incompatibility with latest service pack, etc). I've had DPP on various systems throughout the last few years and haven't had a problem with it.
You think you have problems...... I have a black rotary dial phone and I can't figure out how to download anything to it.....If this turns into an Apple bashing or fanboi lynching...........blurgh
I'm definitely getting less DR since installing iOS 8 .........

Indiana Pacers head coach Frank Vogel has been fined $15,000 by the NBA for his comments on how the officials should call the Pacers' upcoming series with the Miami Heat.
Mike Wells of the Indianapolis Star:
"They are the biggest flopping team in the NBA," Vogel said. "It'll be very interesting to see how the referees officiate the series and how much flopping they reward."
The Heat, who eliminated the New York Knicks on Wednesday, were fourth in the league in points allowed and fifth in the league in field goal percentage defense during the regular season. They like to swarm to the ball when it's in the paint.
"Every drive to the basket, they have guys not making a play on the ball," Vogel said, "but sliding in front of drivers. Oftentimes they're falling down even before contact is even being made. It'll be interesting to see how the series is officiated."
Vogel and the Pacers have nothing to lose so if this helps the team in anyway more power to them. The Eastern Conference semifinal series with Miami will be tough task but anything can happen.

The site is built to grow with the company, and in the coming few weeks we'll be adding a full line of products complete with an online store.
The first batch of bags for Relevant Roasters is in. I'm really happy with the way they turned out and I'm hopeful that they'll work really well for Memphis's new craft coffee company.
As always, thanks to Sarah for the photos.

Product description
In this, his first collection of essays, Saunders trains his eye on the real world rather than the fictional and reveals it to be brimming with wonderful, marvellous strangeness. As he faces a political and cultural reality saturated with lazy media, false promises and political doublespeak, Saunders invokes the wisdom of American literary heroes Twain, Vonnegut and Barthelme and inspires us to re-examine our assumptions about the world we live in, as we struggle to discover what is really there.

Author information
George Saunders is the author of the novella The Brief and Frightening Reign of Phil and three short story collections, In Persuasion Nation, Pastoralia and CivilWarLand in Bad Decline, as well as the children's book, The Very Persistent Gappers of Frip. His work has received four National Magazine Awards, and has been selected for the O. Henry Awards and Best American Short Stories collections. In 1999, Saunders was recognized as one of the 20 best young American fiction writers by the New Yorker. He teaches in the creative writing program at Syracuse University.
Review quote
'Deceptively light ... deadpan funny ... Saunders, as an American social and literary critic, may be shaping up as the Orwell of the millennium' The Times 'Not since Twain has America produced a satirist this funny' Zadie Smith 'Saunders is a warm and funny guide through familiar and foreign landscapes ... His job is to observe and be funny ... in a tone often reminiscent of Bill Bryson' Observer 'Again and again, Saunders demonstrates that wacky, subversive, formally strange writing is not only contrary to our nation's capitalist spirit, it's the most natural and effective of responses to it. He makes the all-but-impossible look effortless. We're lucky to have him' Jonathan Franzen, author of The Corrections

SHIMOGA: Minister for Energy K.S. Eshwarappa said here on Friday that the Government was committed to issue the title deeds to the slum dwellers in the State.
The Minister was speaking at a function held at the Hucharayaswamy Slum in Vinobanagar where he distributed the introductory letters to its dwellers.
He said that the Government would concede all the demands pertaining to the basic amenities in their slums in a phased manner.
He said the Government had decided to see that all the basic amenities such as water, electricity, roads, toilets were provided in all the slums.
He asked the slum dwellers to make use of the benefits being extended by the government.
Shimoga City Municipal Council president N.J. Rajasekhar who presided over the function lauded the efforts of Mr. Eshwarappa who is the local MLA in getting the basic amenities sanctioned in all the slums in the city.
Letters given
He said that the process of issuing the introductory letters by the City Municipal Council to the slum dwellers had been almost completed and the remaining areas would be covered under this process soon.
Later, Mr. Eshwarappa visited the slum at Kashipur and heard the grievances of its dwellers.
The slum dwellers brought to his notice the lack of the basic amenities such as drains, roads and electricity.
They pointed out that the drain water flowed openly just adjacent to the dwellings in the adjoining Lakkappa Layout and urged the Minister to ensure that basic amenities were extended to all the slums.
Chairman of the Shimoga Urban Development Authority (SUDA) Jnaneshwar, councillors Renuka Nagaraj, Somasundaram and the District Convener of the Dalit Sangharsh Samiti M. Gurumurthy were present.

FLAGSTAFF Patrick Peterson has always admired Hall of Fame cornerback Deion Sanders. He chose jersey No. 21 in tribute. He returns punts in the same electric fashion. He flashes a Deion-wide smile, and he even channeled a little Deion as he danced into the end zone on a return against the Rams last season. But as he struts into his second season with the Cardinals, Peterson is ready to make his own mark in the NFL. Hes ready to move to his own music. Im trying to make up my own dance, he said. Well see once I touch the end zone if I prevail in it or not. Im still doing a little tweaking. The same can be said of Petersons overall game. While he burst onto the NFL stage last season as a punt returner, tying an NFL record with four returns for touchdowns, Petersons cornerback play was a work in progress. The return (job) is way easier than playing corner. All youve got to do is catch the ball and run for your life, Peterson said. The cornerback position is a different concept an...

Make a home for wildlife
Chris Shields
Staphylinus olens
The Devil's coach horse is a long, black beetle with short elytra (wing cases). At first glance you could mistake it for an earwig.
A nocturnal predator, this beetle lives in and around decaying matter. During the day it tends to rest among leaf litter or under stones. Females lay their eggs in the soil, and these hatch into carnivorous larvae.
It overwinters as a pupa in leaf litter or moss and emerges as an adult the following spring. If you disturb a Devil's coach horse, it adopts an aggressive, scorpion-like position - it raises its rear end and opens its powerful jaws.
If it still feels threatened it squirts a foul-smelling fluid from its abdomen. Beware – this beetle can also give a painful bite.
Fly larvae, insects, spiders and slugs.
Spring, summer and autumn.
Throughout the garden. Sometimes in damp outhouses. Also in parks, hedgerows, meadows and woods.

When the cameras are rolling, she's Lily, the clumsy, gymnast/skater best friend of pop diva Hannah Montana. Off screen, she's different…a little more quiet (another double life?). GL got the chance to talk to Emily Osment, and she gave us some behind-the-scenes dirt about the cast.
GL: Hey Emily! So, are there ever any cute boys around the set of Hannah Montana?
EO: Well, the Jonas brother started to come on set recently.
Our readers think they're they cutest!
Yeah, I love the Jonas brothers!
Were they fun to hang out with?
That family is so sweet. Every single one of them is so polite. That's not how you'd expect, like, rockstars to be. But they're so sweet and humble and just really, really nice.
Have you ever embarrassed yourself in front of a cutie?
If I embarrass myself, I act like, "Oh yeah, I was gonna do that." I just make a joke of it. I haven't, like, lost my bikini or anything. I kinda have good luck in that area.
What would GL girls be shocked to see backstage on the show?
I think they'd be surprised to see how close everybody is. We're like a family. We hang out together all the time. We have this really, really great atmosphere on set, which is nice.
How cute! So, are there any pranksters in the cast?
Umm…Jason. He creates his own things to add to the scenes. They keep the cameras rolling extra-long for him, just to see what he'll do at the end of the scene. He does his own little skits. It's pretty funny.
Love that! So, why's Lily always wearing that hat?
I think that was wardrobe's idea. Lilly's a skater girl, but you'll see more often in season two that she's sort of falls away from the hats and so she starts dying her hair, and painting her nails weird colors. And she has cooler clothes. The hats sort of disappear for a little while.
Do you wear a hat off-set, too?
Nooo! Sometimes I'll wear a trucker hat, but only if it goes with my outfit.
Do you have any hidden talents?
I sorta memorize everyone else's lines, which is weird. I'll know all of Miley's lines.
What's the craziest scene on the new DVD?
Well, I'm not sure if it's on the DVD, but there's a scene where Cody [aka Jake Ryan] comes in parasailing in this big knight uniform. It's pretty funny. It's a wild episode.
Do you do any stunts?
Well, Lilly does gymnastics. I kinda do gymnastics, but they bring in Cirque du Soleil people to double for me, which is really cool.
Does Billy practice his "Dancing with the Stars" ballroom dancing backstage?
He's kind of shy. He really is. Sometimes on Friday nights, when we come out for curtain call, he'll show off a little bit. It's cute. Miley will always say, "Hey, Dad, show us that sashay." And he'll say, "Noo, no, no!" It's cute. He'll try and get up there and dance a little.
How sweet! Anything you want our readers to know?
I used to have a subscription to GL!
