We came to Noah's Park after being at a sister facility for the last 1.5 years. While they are much more convient to my work, we were very excited to find out our old director, Katie, was now at Noah's Park. We adored her at our previous daycare, so after realizing she was now here and after meeting our daughter's teachers, it was easy to decide to make the switch. Our biggest concern in moving, was our daughter's attachment to her previous teachers at the sister facility. Katie and her staff have allowed as much time as needed for our daughter to readjust and we are thankful for that! Katie's positive energy and upbeat attitude are hard to miss when you walk through the door! She is an asset to this facility and we look to the future years to come!
We love NP and the interaction they have with all the children there. All the teachers from different classes know all the children regardless of what age group they are in. They have a diverse staff with a mixture of different personalities and skills. If your child does not respond well to one staff member there are others to meet the needs of your child. We had an issue with our infant not eating for one particular staff member and they moved staff around until they found someone that our baby could connect with.
NP makes everything easier for parents and cleaner for the babies. All bottles are labeled and have their own spots in the refrigerators. So there is no confusion what bottles belong to who. They also have boxes for each child to store extra clothing, pacifiers, or whatever. Nothing is required except diapers and pre-made bottles. Each child has their own bed and each bed is cleaned daily. They have communication forms that parents fill out each morning. This form lets the teachers know how the child slept, what time they need to eat again, and the time of the last diaper change. The form is also filled out by the caregivers throughout the day. At the end of the day, we get the form back and it let's us know how our child was cared for.
Noah's Park Weatherly is a great place for my kids to be each day! We have been there through two kids and six years and I can honestly say that we have never had a problem or concern with NP. From the first time I had to leave my babies to work I have felt comfortable with NP and couldn't think of a better place to have them during the day if they can't be with me. The teachers work so hard to help the kids. Some of the best teachers that we started with have unfortunately left for school, family, etc but the teachers that have come in are great. They fit right in with my daughter who is currently there. The way I measure a school is if my child is happy to go each morning and if she is happy when I pick her up.....this happens everyday. Thanks NP!!!

FEDERAL WAY — Andrew Weiss came to the state championships last year hoping to help extend Mercer Island's string of boys swimming state titles to seven.
But Lakeside won the title, and Weiss, now a junior, is trying to help the Islanders get back to the mountaintop.
With solid contributions in the preliminaries on Friday at the King County Aquatic Center, Weiss and the Islanders are in good position to do so.
"It felt bad going into the offseason," Weiss said. "It was a little rough. But we are feeling good about what we can do in the finals. It felt good getting the district title back, so it would be that much sweeter if we can take back the state title tomorrow."
Weiss qualified for Saturday's Class 3A finals in both the 50- and 100-yard freestyle. He is the top seed in the 50 after a prelim time of 21.43 seconds. In the 100, he was 1.5 seconds behind Tommy Thach (46.06) of Kennedy Catholic. Thach also swam the fastest time in the 200 individual medley, 1:52.87.
Bellevue is also in the title hunt after three top qualifying times, including an automatic All-American time from Todd McCarthy in the 100 backstroke at 50.31.
"Todd McCarthy did everything we expected him to do, and that's just being a boss," said Bellevue coach Andy Hay.
Kennedy's Thane Maudslien qualified second in the 100 back (51.40) and second in the 100 butterfly (51.46), behind O'Dea's Grant Neil. Maudslien is an Olympic qualifier and three-time defending state champ in the fly. Only six boys have won four state titles in four years in one event.
No Lakeside swimmers had top qualifying times, but the Lions will have plenty of firepower in the finals, including Abrahm Devine (500 free, 200 IM) and Henry Stolz (100 fly, 500 free).
"We are just super excited that we got the guys into the finals that we needed to," said Lakeside coach Sally Rupert.
But perhaps no team is in better shape than Mercer Island.
"We are in a good spot, but the score of the meet is 0-0," Islanders coach Chauntelle Johnson said. "I don't want to say I feel any better than I did yesterday, but I'm happy with our performances today. We still have a lot of work tomorrow."
Archbishop Murphy has 8 top swims in 2A
Archbishop Murphy senior Alec Barnard had top swims in the 50 free (21.92) and 100 fly (52.03). He's trying to finish his career with six individual state titles.
The Wildcats from Everett had top swims in eight of 12 events and have a chance to dethrone Sehome of Bellingham as team champ.
"That's about as solid as you can get," Archbishop Murphy coach Mike McClosky said. "It feels like the only thing that could keep us from taking first tomorrow are disqualifications at this point."
Four of a kind

Review this album
Mar 30, 2014My favorite album of all time. This is a true masterpiece. Vampire Weekend perfects their style that was revealed to us with their debut. I can't even give a standout song because they're all flawless and perfect. Everybody who's in to indie rock, alternative, or even trying to get into alternative, owe it to themselves to hear this. A true masterpiece.
Jan 23, 2014Contra is a bright, bold, fun and exciting 2nd album from Vampire Weekend, where there aren't really any bad songs at all, and no rough patches. This is a clean, and limitless nearby masterpiece.
Dec 25, 2013One of my favourite albums of the 21st century. It combines their upbeat, feel good music with a distinct African vibe. Very well written and composed, I highly recommend this.
Nov 25, 2013This is one of the most unique albums I've heard in recent memory. Maybe even of all time. How an album this adventurous reaches #1 on Billboard is a mystery.
Apparently Contra refers to four things. On the surface, this record's about a breakup. On top of that, he's added stuff about an 80s videogame called "Contra", Nicaraguan politics, and an album by the Clash called Sandinista! that he quotes and references several times throughout. What the I don't give a about Nicaragua, old videogames, or the unsatisfying follow-up to London Calling. Why would you load your album with all that?
But that hardly matters. What I get from this is some guy who's been into all of these things recently and needed to put them all under one umbrella, using the word Contra to bring them together. I can't blame him for that; he's just writing about what he knows. In fact, his mind jumping around random subjects makes the central part of this the breakup aspect a lot stronger. It seems counterintuitive considering the other stuff would DETRACT from that, but to me it doesn't. The last track, the only one without all the Clash/Nicaragua/videogame bull****, is incredibly satisfying whereas in any other setting it would be a blowoff of a breakup song.
Now this is definitely a departure from Vampire Weekend's self-titled debut, but that's a good thing. I liked a lot from that, but it's not too revisitable. Fortunately, improvements have been made in the right places. The falsetto has been laid off except on the last track, where it fits. There is little to no filler on here. The incomprehensible lyrics are still incomprehensible, but actually do flow with one another.
You're a pretentious band, but that's what you do. You've done absolutely everything to improve on your last record.
I give this an eight out of ten, almost a nine, but not quite one. I hoped it would be higher considering all the great stuff I've been hearing. But it's good enough, and a must-listen for anyone.
STANDOUT TRACKS: HORCHATA, HOLIDAY, CALIFORNIA ENGLISH, TAXI CAB, COUSINS, GIVING UP THE GUN, I THINK UR A CONTRA… Expand
Nov 2, 2013[9.3] Contra has a lot of things that Vampire Weekend clearly wants, and clearly recognizes that they didn't have them before. Their debut was self-admittedly pure fun, and while the songwriting was smart, catchy, and generally accessible, it was clearly an exhibition of influence. They wanted very much to get right in your face, and tell you "look at what we know." There is certainly no problem with having influences, but with their debut, they didn't have the right attitude to support their ideas. They wanted to have fun, and more importantly, they wanted other people to have fun. They didn't make music for themselves, which is generally the undoing of many great bands. Contra is a an experiment of self-realization, and it has a whole f*cking lot of character to realize. Their influences are absolutely still there, but now they actually know how to use them. Instead of just saying "look at what I know," they say, "look at what I know, and look at how I'm using it." Now their influences have purpose, they use fun, generally not well-known African pop beats and show how they can be beautiful, rather than just fun. The result is great, and sometimes even nostalgic. One might get the feeling of driving on a tropical island listening to some eccentric Afro-beat, which is almost reminiscent of some video games (or specifically, Far Cry). The sound is distinct, instantly recognizable, and greatly rewarding. While it isn't a reflective album, it doesn't need to be. It's an album about growth (themed appropriately), and most importantly, self-satisfaction. Vampire Weekend passes the test that all new bands struggle with and usually can't figure out. They know what their place is, and they don't care what their audience thinks it is because they don't have to, and they know that.… Expand
Oct 7, 2013A solid showing after the brilliant self-titled album. Contra isn't always right on the money, but more often than not the songs will grow on you, and you'll be a huge fan of the album in time. Vampire Weekend experiments a bit more in this album, but sticks to their sound, and they pull it off. Not as good as Vampire Weekend, but just as good in it's own way. A solid album from Vampire Weekend!
Oct 6, 2013This album is excellent. While it's not as immediately accessible as VW's self-titled, Contra is just as good as that debut, and is quite rewarding over time. It provides the listener with a somewhat new variation of the band. Their electronic elements are increased here amidst the Afro-pop beats and guitar riffs, but they still manage to maintain their identifiable sound. And the songwriting is just as thoughtful, and dense as before. Ultimately, Contra is the sound of a band that has properly evolved. A simultaneously ambitious and catchy album.… Expand
Jul 10, 2013The second album has really great songs throughout! I really liked their first album and Contra definitely doesnt disappoint! My fave tracks on the album: White Sky, California English, Cousins
Jun 19, 2013Contra doesn't completely manage to worthily follow up their surprisingly good debut, but is really close to their self-titled first release two years ago. The New York indie band has maintained their nebulous lyrics and experimental music style that takes reggae, ska, baroque, Afrobeat, and so many other weird types of music that most likely aren't even named, and throws them all into one single song. This definitely needs getting used to, but if you've listened to Vampire Weekend before (which if you haven't done, you've really missed an important new band), then you should be accustomed to their unconventional kind of music and should have great fun with this CD straightaway. Just like Oasis, Arctic Monkeys, or so many other popular alternative rock bands out there, the band members oftentimes aren't sure about their songs' meanings themselves which gives the listener dozens of interpretations on the 10 songs that Contra offers us. The phrasing is intelligent plus lovely to hear and the four guys are totally personable. Therefore, just like with their entrance in the big music business, Contra isn't a real musical masterpiece, yet an endearing album that you will think about a lot and will immediately want on your iPod. After all, it's only contra is that most tracks just aren't as catchy as the songs on Vampire Weekend.… Expand
May 15, 2013This album was not at all a sophomore slump, but a great second album of Vampire Weekend. This album from the beginning of Horchata, which perfectly invites and draws in the listeners to hear more to the last track, "I think ur a contra" which perfectly ends the album. The highlights of this album are "Horchata" "White Sky" "Holiday" "Taxi Cab" "Giving up the Gun" "Diplomat's Son" and "I think ur a Contra"… Expand
May 12, 2013In my opinion, this is easily their best album. The collection of songs are stronger than those of the debut album and the band has produced some brilliant catchy tracks. Overall the album is a near-masterpiece.
May 7, 2013I'm only giving it a 5/10 because I only liked half the songs on this album. My pick tracks (and the only ones I enjoyed): 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11. Diplomat's Son being my favorite, and Giving up the gun also. Why did they choose that awful song as a first single?
Apr 29, 2013I loved the Vampire Weekend debut. It was a slick combination of indie rock, baroque pop anthems and surf rock guitar riffs. Contra, at it's time in 2010, was a highly anticipated album that some say had too much hype than it should have gotten. To be honest, I agree. There are some tracks on this album that I absolutely loved, (Take Diplomat's Son, and "Cousins"), and some that were so-so. To be honest, I only like about half of the track son this record, the others grew on me. I'm giving them credit for building on their own sound, and again, I really really love some of these tracks, however, that's only half the package.
It just never grew on me. 6/10… Expand
Mar 8, 2013The first one was better. The amount of good songs to bland songs is kinda even. Nothing horrible either, idk, why there is so much hate to this band, but oh well.
Nov 18, 2012Just as good as the first. To me, it feels like they got the good things in their eponymous debut album and mixed it with electronic aspects, creating something even more unique.
Jan 30, 2012The album Contra definitely builds off of it's predecessor (Vampire Weekend), but it is still kind of bland in some areas.
Jan 7, 2012Here's the thing: I didn't really like their first album all that much. "Oxford Comma" was nice and all, but the rest of the album was just a bit twee and insubstantial for my tastes. What makes Contra such a great record is that it packs much more of an instrumental punch than it's predecessor, while deftly maintaining everything that people love (and hate) about Vampire Weekend. It's smarter, too: whereas the self-titled seemed naive and precious - and thus a wide-open target for it's legions of critics - Contra, on the other hand, seems proudly defiant. Tracks such as "Horchata" and "Holiday" encapsulate everything haters love to spout about, but this only contributes to the fact that these songs are, in fact, catchy as hell and extremely well done, as is the rest of the album.
Over all, an enormous improvement over their so-so debut, and one that is capable of both nuance and the blissed-out excitement that put them on the map in the first place.… Collapse
Nov 12, 2011Not nearly as good as their self titled debut album, but still fantastic non the less. The only tracks that didn't catch my fancy very much were California English and Run, otherwise, the album is pitch perfect. VW returns with their fun, upbeat, and unique sound.
Nov 3, 2011Very fun album, although you have to let it grow on you. Vampire Weekend's self-titled album is still better than this one, though. A little softer and more relaxed then their first album.
Oct 15, 2011Vampire Weekend's playfulness from their debut album continues delightfully on "Contra". Although one may feel that they're rehashing some of the formulas they captured the first time around, they have vitality and inspiration all the way through. Highlights, as "Holiday", are songs you'll be humming long after you've turned off the record.
Sep 9, 2011"Contra" had the problem of impossible expectations. Fans want this, they want that.. and if they don't get it it's WW3. Not only does "Contra" do whatever the **** it wants, but it does it fantastically and with the same effortless poise and class at their landmark debut.
Jul 31, 2011this album was excellent. the singing and songwriting were good. the album showcases their musical ability. and they are fantastic. white sky and taxi cab are great songs. diplomat's son as also a winner
Jul 8, 2011I think that this album contains any magic effect on me, when i listen songs like diplomat's son (a relly fantastic song). Cousins, Horchata, Holiday and Giving up the gun offers diversity into his own style and interpretation of music. A beautiful continuation o his debut album.
Jul 1, 2011I don't see why this album is so harshly judged by so many. It seems superiour to original in basically every possible way of comparing the two. The reason why the original album was so strong was that every there were no weaker song and all were instantly likeable from the first listen. This album seems the same, with the possible exception of California English which wasn't instantly likeable, but I am now a fan of. How Contra differs is that it has much more depth than the debut, with the final three songs being so much greater than the sum of their parts. I really see it being very close to infallible, as there really isn't anything notable I can find to criticise...
While I find it impossible to ever pick a definitive "favourite album", Contra would be one of the three albums that get down to the "you can't make me choose between them" stage.… Expand
May 25, 2011Took me awhile to fully enjoy this album but to be honest, I kind of didn't want to like this band. I thought for some reason that this was a band that's lame to like. But I was sorely mistaken. From the catchy opener "Horchata" to there hit single :Giving Up The Gun", Contra is almost a flawless. Ezra Koenig's vocals are simple yet so perfect for these pop tracks. All In All, Contra is a great album that shouldn't go missed. B+… Expand
Feb 1, 2011This might be an album that has to grow on you a bit but after a few listens I got hooked. I think this second album is even better and a little deeper musically than their previous album. Lots of great tunes here and my personal favorites are Holiday, White Sky, and Cousins. The only track i felt was weak which is why i rated 9 is i don't care too much for the song California English. It was a bit goofy but none the less a solid album!… Expand
Jan 16, 2011Having despised their first album, I had no idea I would love Contra as much as I do. But Vampire Weekend has managed to take everything I hated about their debut and turned it into a much more likable sound.
Dec 26, 2010My favorite album of the year. Richer than their first and a great mixing of playful originality with accessibility. Haters, go back to listening to Motley Crue, then, or Battles, then, whatever your thing is. This is my kind of thing.
Dec 14, 2010Better album than their last, but there's still something missing here. They just don't have the full sound they could on a lot of songs. The synths don't work as well for them as they think they do.
Nov 27, 2010"Contra" features many interesting catchy tracks like "Cousins", "Giving Up the Gun", "Horchata" and "Holiday". Maybe your children below age of ten may like this because it is so childlike, and maybe it'll be pass down to the next few generations too. Ezra Koenig & co. really know how to play funky music with their drums, guitars and keyboards.
Nov 5, 2010It isn't as consistently good as their first album, but this is still worth buying, it has a couple standout songs. I like that they didn't completely abandon what brought them initial success.
Oct 6, 2010One of the few albums I can listen to without changing track. It's far better than their first LP. "near-perfection"? What kinda music are you listening to?, coz it must be terrible.
Oct 2, 2010What happened? Vampire Weekend's debut was of a style so fresh, simple and absorbing it couldn't help but collect masses of praise from critics and fans alike, yet they've somehow weighed themselves down in this second outing. Opener 'Horchata' and lead single 'Cousins' are full of such dizzying synth or percussion hooks you almost feel nauseous listening to them, while 'White Sky' is an uninspiring rip-off of Paul Simon's Graceland. The one high point on the album is 'Taxi Cab', which is actually one of the best tracks the band have ever written and the only example of them being able to replicate the beautiful harmony and delicacy of their debut while simultaneously being a change of style. The rest of the album sounds hideously like a Vampire Weekend tribute group that just don't get the sound.… Expand
Sep 3, 2010Definitely more of a "grower" than their first. Songs like White Sky and Diplomat's Son make it well worth the invested time, though. All the haters on here seem to be comparing them to other artists, but they're unique. They're not trying to be Paul Simon. That's what makes them so great and also apparently what bothers those who want a category to lump them in.
Aug 11, 2010It is not as fun as their first album, and some of the songs are downright frustrating. 'Contra' is, however, a creative and catchy album that serves as a worthy sophomore effort.
Contra establishes that his band has chosen another path, celebrating the world's contradictions, contraindications, and contradistinctions with a new pop sound made up of old pop sounds that aren't the same old pop sounds.
Contra is a solidly entertaining, well-constructed album, and if people take to it, the tendency to mock the band will, I think, fade, simply because it doesn't have obviously unfashionable moments to feel uneasy about.
If Vampire Weekend was Rushmore, Contra is their Royal Tenenbaums: brainy, confident and generally awesome.

Every parent knows this scenario: Your toddler gives all the signals that she's exhausted and needs sleep — she yawns and rubs her eyes, flops on the floor, and bursts into tears of frustration when her block tower collapses — but she still won't go down for a nap.
The explanation is simple, though the solution may not be: Toddlers fight the urge to rest simply because they are so interested in what's going on around them. Your curious toddler has so much to see and do and she's afraid that if she naps, she'll miss out on something.
Also, just like other toddlers, your child is beginning to understand that she's separate from you and is her own person, so she asserts her independence whenever she can. Refusing to take a nap is one way she wrests control from you.

Tiny radioactive seeds, about the size of a grain of rice, are permanently placed inside the tumor.1 The seeds give out low levels of radiation for a few months, killing the cancer cells. LDR brachytherapy is a very effective treatment for prostate cancer.
In contrast to low dose rate brachytherapy (seed implants), no radioactive material is left in the prostate after treatment.
HDR brachytherapy has been shown to be an effective treatment for intermediate and high risk prostate cancer.2 It is often given in combination with external beam radiotherapy (EBRT), as it can provide an additional dose of radiotherapy to help prevent the cancer from returning.
Some centres offer HDR brachytherapy as the sole method of treatment as it is very effective and quick treatment, making it very convenient for many patients. Your doctor will be able to advise you if HDR brachytherapy is a possible treatment option for you.
In high risk and intermediate risk disease a combination of External Beam Radiotherapy (EBRT) and brachytherapy may be advised by your doctor. Cure rates (measured by monitoring patients' PSA levels) have been shown to be improved when brachytherapy was added to EBRT3,4,5

I did some sewing, primarily for the babies' room, before they were born, but I didn't have stamina for much else. I got really big, really quick and between the extra weight and my huge belly I really didn't feel much like sewing. I barely had enough energy to even do any hand sewing. I promise I'll start showing some of the few things I did accomplish while I was cooking these kids soon. But for now, I'm trying to sleep when I can and lear how to juggle two little ones at the same time. No apologies. No excuses. No promises.

No apologies. No excuses. No promises.
It's been a while since I've had the time or energy to blog. And I know that isn't going to change any time soon. But I do miss it around here. So when I can, I'll pop on by. There are two really great reasons that I haven't been around lately. I'd like to introduce you to them: Vaughn (in the necktie) and Dashiel (in the bow tie) joined the world on January 2, 2014.

Learning to Long Arm
If you know me at all you know about my fear of free motion quilting. Thankfully, after taking Elizabeth Hartman's class at QuiltCon and then starting to practice my skills on charity quilts at home that fear has disappeared. Each quilt I work on now helps me gain more confidence and improve my skills. I actually really like free motion quilting now. But there was one more fear out there I needed to conquer: mastering the Long Arm.
I had been putting off learning how to Long Arm until my free motion skills got better. Right now, I don't branch out much past a basic stipple. But my husband requested that I stipple the Scrappy Trout Along Quilt and I was faced with two options. Now this quilt is a King Sized monster. And it's super heavy thanks to all those seams. There was no way in hell I was going to attempt to quilt this one at home. I know better. Especially with my expanding belly, I knew that for me it would be a nightmare. So I could either send it out to a Long Armer to quilt for me. Or I could bite the bullet and do it myself. I debated vigorously between the two options and eventually decided that now is as good a time as any to teach this old dog a new trick.
I signed up for a private lesson on Harley (the resident Long Arm at my favorite LQS, Sew Modern) with my friend Lisa. She taught me everything I needed to know from racking the quilt to threading the machine. I even brought a charity quilt with me for practice. I can't believe how intimidated I was by the Long Arm. I wish I had mustered up the courage earlier to take a lesson because it was so much fun and so much easier than I expected. Quilting on the Long Arm was so much easier and more fluid than trying to free motion on my home machine!
I used my lesson time to learn the basics, like racking my quilt, threading the machine, etc. And then I just practiced stippling. I wasn't ready to get too fancy and I just wanted to get the hang of the machine and how it flowed. Also, my husband requested that I stipple his Scrappy "Trout" Quilt so initially that's all I needed to know. I was able to stipple a small charity quilt on the long arm in about an hour, which was awesome. Now I'm addicted!.
So here's my advice to all you chickens, just like me, that are out there. Take a deep breath and just try the Long Arm. You will be so surprised at just how easy it actually is to work on one. I am mad it took me so long to muster up the courage. It's fun and it's super easy. You'll get the hang of it in no time and be kicking yourself, just like me, that you didn't try it sooner.

The Scrappy Trout Quilt Top
So I have slowly been starting to sew again. In fact, this past weekend I took four wonderful days and disappeared off the grid with a few friends so we could spend some quality time together and sew. I had two sewing goals for the weekend: Get caught up on Bee Blocks and finish my Scrappy Trip Along Quilt Top. I started my Scrappy Trout (nicknamed the Trout Quilt by my friend Melissa because the it reminded her of fish scales, which I thought was cool) quite a while ago intended for our couch, but when my husband saw it he really loved it and asked if we could put it on our bed. That meant I needed to make it larger. Then it got pushed to the side as my Spring and Summer started to turn our world upside down. The only sewing I have been able to do at all this entire Summer was commission work with deadlines. And that was quite a chore in my condition.
When I started to prep for our girls weekend I made a conscious decision to leave all my commission work at home. Let's just call that Work (capital 'W'), since I can't really go back to my real job right now so it's my only source of income at the moment. Instead I only projects I wanted to work (lowercase) on, meaning my Scrappy Trout, my Marathon Quilt, and some delayed bee blocks.

The weekend was a complete success! I had lots of laughs, great times with my friends and I came home with an (almost) completed quilt top. I say almost, because, even though it's pretty much the perfect size for our King bed, I decided that I really want to add a solid border. I just love the way these quilts look with a sold border around them. I really think it takes the quilt to another level. So it's almost done. And I feel such a sense of accomplishment, especially since I haven't been able to sew much in the past several months. I can't wait to see this one completed!

Where I've Been
I just returned home from a glorious weekend of sewing. It's more sewing than I've been able to do in months. And there have been some good reasons for that. In the Spring I started doing some commission work for Spring Market, which kept me busy but I wasn't able to share my projects here. Then shortly after, I jetted off to Europe for a month for a friend's wedding in Paris. My husband couldn't take a lot of time off work, so we spent ten days in Italy and a night in Amsterdam before he had to fly back home. Then I continued on to Paris, then London on my own before my journey ended.
The whole time we were in Italy I was feeling sick and completely wiped out with exhaustion, which is odd. Well, we discovered in Rome that there was a reason for the way I was feeling. Which is also the reason I haven't been able to blog at all in the past few months. We're pregnant. And when I got home we got the next shocker. We're having twins. So I have been really sick for the past couple months and have not had the stamina or energy to sew anything but a few commission pieces. Finally the fog passed about two weeks ago so I am getting back into the groove, slowly. I plan to do as much sewing as I possibly can for the next few months, or until I get too big to reach the machine. I need to get it all in and fast, as our entire world is about to change.
So I appreciate you sticking around while I was away! And I'm glad to be back. Now, it's back to sewing!

Almost Had You Lyrics - Simple Plan
Review The Song (2)
I almost got drunk at school, at fourteen
Where I almost made out with the HomeComingQueen
Who almost went on to be Miss Texas
But lost to a slut, with much bigger breasts
I almost dropped out to move to LA.
Where I was almost famous for almost a day
And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn't cut it
Almost loved you
I almost wished you would've loved me too.
I almost held up a Grocery store
Where I alomost did five years and then seven more
Cause I almost got bopped for a fight with a thug
Cause he almost made off with a bunch of the drugs
That I almost got hooked on cause you ran away
And I wish I would've had the nerve to ask you to stay
And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn't cut it
Almost had you
And I didn't even know it
You kept me guessin'
And now I'm destined to spend my time missing you
I almost wish you would've loved me too.
Here i go, thinking bout all the things
I could've done
I'm gonna need a forklift,
Cause all the baggage weighs a ton
(baggage weighs a ton)
I know we've had our problems
I can't remember one.
I almost forgot to say something else
And if I can't fit it in,I'll keep it all to myself
I almost wrote a song about you today
But I tore it all up and then
I threw it away
And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn't cut it
Almost had you
And I didn't even know it
You kept me guessin'
And now I'm destined to spend my time missing you
And I almost had you
I almost had you
Almost had you
I almost wish you would've loved me too
(wish you would've loved me too.)

The position of Lieutenant Governor of Nebraska is vacant, after former Lt. Gov. Rick Sheehy resigned on Saturday.
Although filling the position may not be Governor Dave Heineman's first priority, it will be done, according to Chairman of the Nebraska Republican party Mark Fahleson.
"The position will likely be filled by someone who is already well-known," said Fahleson.
The next lieutenant governor will be responsible for several duties. He or she will function as President of the Nebraska Legislature and Director of Homeland Security. Under that title, the lieutenant governor performs threat assessments of public places to protect Nebraskans, among other things.
"Really they're a representative of the Governor and of the state," he said, "not only in Nebraska, but also nationally and internationally as well."
From a legal standpoint, there are only three restrictions that could hold someone back from the position. According to the Constitution of the State of Nebraska, you must be 30 or older and a United States citizen, who has lived in Nebraska for at least five years.
"If it were me, I would pick someone that has tremendous communication abilities, has the ability to manage both personnel and projects, and someone who is a strong moral character."
As far as the vacant position, Fahleson said the Speaker of the Legislature is taking some of Sheehy's former duties, and Governor Heineman is handling the rest.

About Mike Tull
I live in Seattle, Washington year-round, so know the value of having someplace sunny and warm to escape to during the winter months. I love the calming effect of Palm Springs' friendly community and unique desert charm. You can tell the city takes great pride in its diversity and its world-renowned appeal as a favorite destination.
Mike Tull purchased this bungalow in 2012
Why Mike Tull chose Palm Springs
I might eventually retire here, but until then this is my private escape when I have the time to fly south, and the rest of the year I'm happy to offer it to others who want to enjoy Palm Springs. I've traveled the world for business and have acquired an appreciation for quality, comfort and good taste. Because I often stay at the Bungalow, I've ensured it reflects those values.
What makes this bungalow unique
I immediately snatched up this bungalow property when I found it for sale in early 2012 because it is so unique. At 1,150 sq ft, it has plenty of space including a huge master bedroom. Both bedrooms have their own private bathrooms, so two couples can easily stay here while preserving their own privacy. Riviera Gardens is very tranquil. You tend to see more of the gardeners than you do the other residents! The nearest swimming pool and jacuzzi are a 60-second walk away from the back patio. The shopping and restaurant district of Palm Springs is a five-minute drive away.

Kurt Angle might follow in the footsteps of Chris Jericho soon, as the TNA star is now a candidate to appear on an upcoming season of Dancing With The Stars. His wife revealed that fact through Twitter and is currently trying to ramp up some support from his fans, so that it will happen.
Layla El once danced with Kanye West during a performance at the MTV Music Awards.
On Impact Wrestling last night, Madison Rayne made her return to TNA, where the former Knockouts Champion saved ODB from an attack by Gail Kim and Lei'D Tapa. Rayne had taken some time away from the company to have a child.
There has been some confusion with fans about the relationship between Eric Young and ODB. While their characters recently got married on screen for TNA, they are simply just friends in real life.

CEO buying shares over past 6 months and last month at higher prices, business strengthening and fundamentals improving. I'm looking for 50% gain at a minimum within 6 months.
if you have a moment, go check the trades today - every time someone sells at the bid, someone follows with a buy for 100 shares at the ask.
I was selling other stuff into the strength today. will be interesting to see how the market performs tomorrow and the remainder of the week.
they gave me a little more today...guess I will just have to keep grabbing a few thousand a day as I can get them at a reasonable price.
Get all the details together and drop a note to Cashen - he will take the time to look at it.
At the shareholders meeting, I gave him the info on the one I thought would be a good fit. He was nice enough to take the printouts I gave him and assured me they'd have a look.
I did get some shares today, but I really had to work to get them. Someone is clearly trying to support the price, but "I'm not chasing"...haha
not concerned at this point. we're getting the correction, I don't think it's the beginning of a bear market. earnings are continuing to come in very good and I'm happy with my portfolio with tons of cash allowing me to be very picky. my banks are good examples - all reporting very good numbers in spite of continued low interest rate environment. CY is another great example - was able to acquire shares all the way down to $8.05 because of panic going through semi sector. they reported good earnings, dividend continues to be referred to as "sacred" and it will do fine going forward.
again - no need to be scared, but likewise you need to stay away from the garbage.
just noticed Seeking Alpha author wrote an article on it a couple days ago likely causing some demand - will try to get shares at/under .65
Looking to take initial position tomorrow below .70 - earnings announcement in 2 weeks should show further improvement and higher profitability with first of two seasonally strong quarters.
many, many thanks for your reply.
I have read all your posts over the past few weeks, and they agree with my thinking/analysis as I was doing my research.
thanks again.
They have gone on record that they are looking for acquisitions.
can someone please give me their views on the deteriorating cash balance?
I like most of what I see - however, the declining cash balance over the past 4 quarters does have me somewhat concerned. Company is posting profits, but obviously needs cash to function. What's the plan to get the cash balance up?
and yet you are here
50,000 bid @ $1.65
come clean - how much money did you lose investing in Olympia?
thanks for camping out here and espousing your wisdom as I am certain that you place higher value on doing this compared to other things you might be doing with your time.
thanks again!
Shares do not include any future potential at this time. They are being priced as if we were in early 2013 and the company has much more going for it today.
People should listen to the conference call, read the transcript and consider the numbers Abbas was talking about with regard to subscription services. This is a huge recurring revenue stream that's out there.
Beyond that, the company has many irons in the fire at this time and even if only a few actually bear fruit, there is going to be a huge payoff.
Shares are significantly underpriced here. Anything below book value is like shooting fish in a barrel.
Company continues to perform well in spite of the hurdles placed in front of them - like this accounting/CFO mishap. Six months from now, when we are in spring/summer of 2015 it will be forgotten history.
I don't like anything trading as Ebola plays - sold my VSR...much too big an issue is being made out of it, and the realization will likely hit in the coming days/weeks. Any stocks which have been pushed up because of Ebola will be trashed.
That being said, it's good that your time horizon is just a few days - I just can't invest for that kind of thesis. I had already owned VSR, so as you said, I struck gold as a bystander - I didn't invest in VSR because of Ebola or even knowing that they had anything related...and by what I've read, they really have nothing and pumpers have just made a story out of it. So, it's no longer an investment for me - it's a casino game for those who want to participate at this time.
Friend, investing is like driving a car - if you focus all your attention on the rearview mirror instead of what's up ahead, you're going to have an accident. Start paying more attention to what's in the future.
the biggest impediment that would cause the merger to fail is not having the funding. however, from the very beginning it was made clear that SGMS has the funding commitments and thus there was no need to put a funding contingency in the merger agreement. nothing has changed from a few days ago when the shares were trading at $81/share - just we are that much closer to the deal closing. BYI shareholders will vote for it as the $83.30 is higher than the share price and there are no other offers. SGMS will approve since Ron Perelman owns the bulk of their shares.
still safe/easy money at this level...over $4/share (about 6%) for holding the shares maybe 3 or 4 months at most.
huge potential for recurring monthly revenues with subscription services soon to be offered.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo - The Palisade baseball team lost 11-0 in five innings to SWL leading Delta on Tuesday, then turned right around to shutout Paonia 16-0 in non-league play.
The Bulldogs got in split the doubleheader at Suplizio Field after having their last six games cancelled due to weather.
Riley Josie jump started the offense beginning in the bottom of the first when he drove in Jake Appling and Mike Seriani with a two RBI double to give Palisade a 2-0 lead.
In the bottom of the third Appling was on again for Josie who drove into the gap in right center. The balled rolled to the wall giving Josie an RBI triple, then a throwing error at home allowed Josie to come in and the Bulldogs led 4-0.
Next on the schedule for Palisade is a trip to Moffat County on Saturday.

CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. (AP) - Gov. Charlie Crist has reinstated two Coral Springs commissioners who were charged with violating the state's open government law in March.
The governor's office announced the reinstatement of
Commissioners Vincent Boccard and Tom Powers Friday. A judge had dismissed the charges against the officials last week, saying there wasn't enough evidence.
Authorities had said Boccard and Powers met secretly with two police union representatives on March 11 at a Coconut Creek sports bar to talk about a salary freeze and union negotiations. Florida's Government in the Sunshine Law requires such conversations to be held in a public forum.
Defense attorneys said the conversation focused only on past issues - nothing that was scheduled to be voted on.

text: This message is in MIME format. Since your mail reader does not understand this format, some or all of this message may not be legible. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Mahee asked: "What makes a Knight, a Laurel, or a Pelican?" Pendaran's response: That's easy: the Crown makes them! Seriously, this is like asking "What is a Lion of Ansteorra?" - you can ask ten people that question and get ten different answers. Sure, there are obvious qualities needed to be made a peer (or lion), but there are intangibles that go into it that are difficult, sometimes impossible to define. For example, a person must be a good fighter to be made a knight, but there have been guys who could beat most of the knights on the field for whom I would never have voted in the circle because they lacked the other qualities of a knight. So what are the tangibles for a peer? Keeping in mind that this is only my opinion, a peer must have/do the following: - Travel and be known throughout the kingdom - Fight/work/create art to the standard of the relevant circle - Teach - Be a leader - Have some amount of activity within and/or knowledge the other key activities within the SCA (For example: a potential knight should be doing some work and should be familiar with and/or somewhat active within the arts. The inverse is true for potential pelicans & laurels.) - Probably a few others that aren't coming to mind right now - Be a peer - which brings us to the intangibles! Intangibles - this is the sticky bit. I once heard a person say in a peerage circle that a candidate didn't "feel" like a peer. What does that mean? What does a peer feel like? Squishy? Firm? Dense? (I think that holds true in my case.) While that may not have been the best wording to use, I understood what the person meant. There are certain indefinable qualities that a person must have to be a peer, and those qualities are different to everyone. There are some people that we can all agree on: I can't imagine that anyone doesn't agree that Kein is a great knight, or that Hillary a great pelican or that Fritz a great laurel. But there are some peers who are great in the minds of some and terrible in the minds of others. This may sound like a cop out, but as I sit and think about the intangible qualities of peerage, I'm reminded of the quote by a Supreme Court justice that was made when discussing pornography. He stated that "I can't define pornography, but I know it when I see it". While I am reticent to compare the peerages with pornography, I think that the quote above does apply. So there are my rambling thoughts, Pendaran -----Original Message----- From: Mahee [mailto:mahee_of_acre at yahoo.com] Sent: Monday, October 28, 2002 8:47 AM To: ansteorra at ansteorra.org Subject: [Ansteorra] Here is a question that has been asked often I am looking for the idealistic answer.

Mark Murray, executive director of Californians Against Waste, uses misleading facts and figures in his attempt to downplay the positive news in the recent "National Postconsumer Plastic Bag and Film Recycling Report." If Mr. Murray was genuinely interested in reducing waste, he would help recycling efforts by promoting the opportunity to recover recyclable household items such as toilet-paper wrap and bread bags — thanks to the infrastructure provided by retailers across U.S. to collect bags.
This in-depth report examines the Brazilian plastics industry from a historical and geographical context. Our analysts provide insight on economic trends and forecasts, growing manufacturing sectors that utilize plastics, private investment opportunities, market environment challenges, and innovations in R&D.
Data tables and charts on producer prices, trade, plastics production and end market indicators is also included.

One-Star Certified Pilot Project
Location: Ithaca, New York
Project Size: 0.134 acres
Project Type: Educational / Institutional
Site Context: Urban
Former Land Use: Greyfield
Terrestrial Biome: Temperate Broadleaf and Mixed Forests
Budget: $19,247
photo by: Nina Bassuk
Project Overview
Mann Library is located on the Agriculture quadrangle at Cornell University and houses the primary collection of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Both the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and the Library were interested in improving and replacing the landscape area along the entrance of Mann Library due to the impact that prior construction has had on the site.
In the fall of 2009, the "Creating the Urban Eden" class, jointly sponsored by the Departments of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, took on this site as their year-long project. The class followed the process of site assessment,design, plant selection, soil modification and installation. Designs created in the fall were evaluated by a team of campus stakeholders, modified as necessary, and then installed during the month of April 2010. Although the class originated before SITES guidelines were established,its principles fell directly in line with creating landscapes that enhanced ecosystem benefits such as increased soil health, social gathering spaces and healthy plant material.
Regional Context
This site is in the Finger Lakes district of New York State. Typical annual precipitation is 36 inches, distributed evenly over the year. The site is in the USDA hardiness zone 5b, which assumes the annual minimum temperature to be -15F. The ecoregion is a mixed broadleaf temperate forest. Soils on the site were highly disturbed due to prior construction on the site, however, they can be characterized as silt loam with an alkaline pH of approximately 7.8.
The project site is part of a Cornell University quadrangle and has had repeated disturbance over many decades, most recently during a three year renovation of the Mann Library building, which was completed in 2009.
SITES Features + Practices
Social Gathering Places: The project included the addition of a variety of seated areas for students and other Library visitors.
Soil Health: The project increased soil health through the incorporation of locally-made Cornell Compost to a depth of 24 inches. This enabled a rich, vigorous plant palette to be used with no irrigation after establishment. The soil restoration was a significant factor in increasing water holding capacity while reducing bulk soil density.
No Permanent Irrigation: A diverse plant palette that is appropriate for modified site conditions, is disease resistant and excludes weed growth was selected for the project. There is no need to irrigate after establishment due to the extensive soil modification and proper plant selection.
The integrative process ensured that considerations voiced by the design team added to the success and acceptance of the project. It was important to have members who could move this process forward in a highly stratified university community.
Maintenance + Stewardship
The project site will continue to be monitored by faculty of the Landscape Architecture and Horticulture departments as well as the Cornell University Grounds Department. The University seeks to encourage sustainable landscape practices. The success of this project will encourage similar efforts elsewhere on campus and will used to teach students about how to accomplish landscape goals. Students incorporating organic matter
Site Challenges
There were several challenges that the project addressed, including growth-limiting soil compaction on site, invasive plants( Berberis thunbergii) that had to be removed, and the lack of amenities for people to gather and sit although it was near to a popular coffee house.
Project Goals + Successes
The overarching goals were to alleviate soil compaction so that a diverse landscape of appropriate woody plants could be established. The project team envisioned establishing a closed canopy within two years to minimize weed pressure. A major project objective was to develop spaces within the landscape to encourage social gathering.
The project was interested in testing the Guidelines on relatively small urban site to determine if certification was indeed possible. University stakeholders were very pleased with the final outcome of the project. Students integrated theory and practice in designing and installing this landscape. Ecosystem benefits were realized, and overall, the project is a successful implementation of SITES principles.
Lessons Learned
Although the soil conditions were a major challenge, the deep incorporation of compost was most successful, and similar processes will be used on other campus sites throughout the University.
