A group of eight women from the Quilters of Eastern Washington State and Gayle Goodman, wife of Lt. Gen. John G. Goodman, commander, Marine Forces, Pacific, recently visited the Wounded Warrior Barracks on Marine Corps Base, Kaneohe Bay. They presented three handmade quilts to three recently, returned Marines. All three were injured in Iraq and are either waiting to return to their unit or go home for good.
"They recognized the sacrifices made by our young Marines, and they wanted to do something that very visibly demonstrated their appreciation to our wounded Marines," said Mrs. Goodman about the quilters.
All the quilters are connected to the military through family ties or their own service.
"It's good to know we have a lot of supporters out there," said Lance Cpl. Matthew Reno, Houston native, and a quilt recipient. "It was really nice of those ladies to do this."
To make one of these 70"x 90" quilts takes a bit of time. These ladies spent several sessions of four to six hours sewing the quilt scraps together. That's just to finish one side. There's still the filler fabric and backing fabric which takes a specialized sewing machine with a long arm and a few more hours to bring it all together, according to Mrs. Goodman.
"I appreciate the time they took to make these quilts for us," said Lance Cpl. T.J. Cothran, New Orleans native and Wounded Warrior Marine quilt recipient. "I'm very thankful for their support."
These supportive ladies made five more quilts which are on their way to the island, but Hawaii Quilters have donated more than 35 to the Wounded Warriors. Every bed in the barracks has a quilt draped over it.
These quilts should stay in good shape for a long time according to Mrs. Goodman. "They are washable and will last for at least 100 years," she exclaimed.
A century down the road, Marines may still be fighting for freedom and those futuristic Marines will have quilts on their racks as long as quilters like these keep up the tradition.
"We are so fortunate that the quilters throughout the U.S. have made a difference for our wounded service men and women," said Mrs. Goodman.

This Morning's Top 3 Stories in Business, Tech and Social Media
Welcome to this morning's edition of "First To Know," a series in which we keep you in the know on what's happening in the digital world. We're keeping our eyes on three particular stories of interest today. AOL Earnings Beat Expectations AOL has released its Q3 2010 earnings, reporting total revenue of $563.5 million, higher than analyst predictions of $557.04 million. This is good news for AOL CEO Tim Armstrong who has missed his targets in each of the last two quarters.

I really enjoy blind tastings -- it's amazing how much a known name can really prejudice anyone's reading of a wine, even despite our best attempts at objectivity. Last night I sat down with 5 winemakers for a blind tasting of 8 California Pinot Noirs over $20. The host, a good friend of mine, threw in one "ringer" -- he wouldn't tell us what kind of ringer it was, but we were on the lookout for a different varietal or two-buck-chuck. The results after a couple hours of careful tasting? Most of us (but to be fair, not all) had gravitated to one wine which, although it was not in the style that most of us preferred for California Pinot, it was the best integrated and most drinkable wine in the group.
Which one did we pick ? The $9 ringer.
We were all floored. This little winery which buys grapes in bulk and has a consultant winemaker had leveled the competition, which included wines from names like Siduri, Dehlinger, Seasmoke, Hartford Court, and Williams-Selyem. Not only that, but some of those wines, at least one of which is going for $120ish at auction right now, tasted downright bad.
Castle Rock is a great find, and an incredible value, if you like the more fruit forward style of California Pinot, a la the Paul Hobbs I reviewed earlier in the week.
Tasting Notes:
Bright ruby in color, the wine makes a clear, bright impression in the glass with a big nose of chocolate, black cherry and cola. It feels very round in the mouth with light cranberry, bigger cherry, and hints of plum flavors. The finish is clean, albeit a little short.
Food Pairing:
All of us agreed that this was a wine that was probably better appreciated on its own, or with some soft cheeses, rather than the standard fare you might put with a Pinot. Because of its fruit you might want to treat it more like a Syrah or Zinfandel and drink it with some grilled meats or even BBQ. My recommendation for the day is beef and andouille sausage burgers with asiago cheese.
Overall Score: 9
How much?: $9
You can buy this wine at lots of places -- supermarkets (e.g. Andronicos) and online.
I love blind tastings for that reason. It's amazing what your palette will tell you when you're not swayed by labels and names. You gotta love it when you find you enjoy the most least expensive of the line up! -Helps justify purchasing the expensive wines you know you enjoy... Sounded like a good time!
a few friends loved tasting this last fall, using 2 bottles to reduce down to a truffle sauce for roasted boar tenderloin... it's available for $12 at oakville grocery (sounds like the price has dropped). i blogged it here:
I love Castle Rock. I took a newspaper recommendation a few months ago and bought the Cab for a test and ended up going back for a case. Price...$8.50 a bottle.

The Crozet Arts and Crafts Festival wrapped up on Sunday and attracted thousands from the area.
From handmade leather belts and homemade popcorn to elaborate paintings and mini-train rides for the kids, more than 4,000 people attended the festival this weekend.
"The balloons, the arts and crafts, all of the people, it's a beautiful day to be outside," first-timer at the festival, Jamie Withers, said.
It was held at Crozet Claudius Park, which is run by a non-profit, not the county, so the proceeds from the festival go to help funding for the rest of the year.
The craft fair will return in the spring.

Ignorance, and misunderstanding of what it is seem to be big factors for me.
Before I used to suffer, I never even used to bat an eye about what it was, why it existed etc. I didn't have a care in the world for my skin. That was 5 years ago, and ever since, I just can't help but look at every single person's skin and compare it with mine, be it better or worse.
Also I think the people who don't suffer and see people with problems on their face just don't understand why they have them. I assume they just instantly think 'eww look at how bad his skin is, he must be really unhygienic bla bla bla'. And this is the reason it gets me down so much. The amount of times i've been asked what have i done to my face, or what's wrong with it. I just sort of ignore the comment, or mumble something. But every time I just want to shout' I have no fucking idea!! I didn't do anything, it's just my fucking shit skin, now fuck off!!'..or words to that effect,

A Williams County, Ohio, auto parts supplier is closing its factory at the end of March, one year after notifying state officials that it lost a vital Ford Motor Co. contract.
Diversified Machine Inc.'s Edon operation will eliminate 82 jobs – including 61 machine operator positions – when it closes.
Diversified Machine began long-term layoffs last year on April 27, according to a letter Cheryl Boyer, human relations manager, sent to Ohio officials. The WARN letter was dated Feb. 24.
The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act requires companies planning mass firings or layoffs to notify state and local officials at least 60 days before the effective date.
The latest notice, dated Jan. 15, was posted on the Ohio Department of Job & Family Services website.
Many of the workers are members of the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America Union Local 715.

Hi would you mind stating which blog platform you\'re working with? I\'m planning to start my own blog in the near future but I\'m having a hard time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I\'m looking for something completely unique. P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

Hi there! I know this is kinda off topic however , I\'d figured I\'d ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest authoring a blog article or vice-versa? My site discusses a lot of the same subjects as yours and I think we could greatly benefit from each other. If you might be interested feel free to shoot me an email. I look forward to hearing from you! Fantastic blog by the way!
