My great Uncle has the original release of this product, and it's fair to say they have stood the test of time. They're pleasing on the eye, as they were all those years ago. The feel of these cards are very smooth on the hand, not like the ones you can obtain from pound stretcher (it's definately worth the extra 99p)I have played Cards for many years, from Eastbourne to Vegas and i'm yet to find a better deck. Also a great bonus of this pack is that the Joker cards are very humerous, lol.Finally, and most importantly, i must say they shuffle effortlesslyBuy this product, and make use of the great price while you still can. A great treat for yourself, or a gift for a friend or loved one (Especially with Valentines day coming up)

Two young offenders prepare for their hearings in one of the seven states that grant parole for juveniles.
Only seven states offer parole for juvenile offenders. Colorado is one of them. In this episode of the groundbreaking series PAROLE BOARD, INVESTIGATIVE REPORTSTM gets an inside look at the youth parole process in the state by tracking the cases of two young men.
The first is John Bagdonas, 18, who is serving a one-year sentence in the Coloarado Youth Correctional System after violating the terms of his probation for vandalizing and robbing a series of cars and trucks. The second is Paul Duran, 17, a former gang member serving one to two years for aggravated motor vehicle theft, eluding police, and burglary. Through interviews with both inmates, their lawyers, youth justice advocates and the members of the nine-member Parole Board, COLORADO JUVENILES offers a gripping look at the way the state handles the difficult problem of youth offenders and parole.

Academics Update
College moves to 4-credit hour courses beginning Fall '13
Students are experiencing wide-ranging changes in their academic curriculum designed to broaden their knowledge and skill sets.
Starting this fall 2013 semester, the College has implemented a four credit hour system and begun a new general education curriculum that utilizes infused skills.
Erika Goodwin, vice president for academic affairs, said these should ultimately make graduates more marketable as they embark upon careers. "These two changes will allow students to take fewer courses during a semester yet go into more depth with each course," she said, adding that the infused skills (oral communication, information literacy, critical thinking, writing and quantitative skills) are ones that employers report nationally are lacking in recent college graduates. "These 'soft skills,' as they are called, are a critical piece to education that our faculty and administration believe are essential — I wholeheartedly agree."
WC's required general education curriculum will place a greater focus on global awareness and the first year experience, the latter of which exposes students to success strategies for their transition from high school to college. This year (2013-14) the College also has started new majors in political science and special education, and a sustainability minor.
More than just an education
At Wilmington College, the Academic Programs provide the center for the student experience. Faculty advisors and small class size mean students get immersed in their major and their courses early on. A challenging General Education program that focuses on international study, communication skills, and numeric skills assures that our graduates will function as leaders in their chosen fields. Emphasis on experiential education and service learning develops student capability in their careers and their lives.
In addition to a large variety of excellent academic programs, the college maintains support for students through our Student Resource Center, Career Center, and Watson Library.

FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) - Longtime Fairfax County Circuit Court Clerk John Frey says he's dropping out of the 2013 race for Virginia attorney general.
Frey announced his decision in a recent posting on Facebook.
The Republican says both of his GOP opponents have campaigned across Virginia for a significantly longer time than he has. He says withdrawing his candidacy is the best thing for him, his family and the Republican Party.
Frey was elected circuit court clerk in 1991. He announced his candidacy for attorney general in December 2011.
The other Republican candidates are Del. Rob Bell of Charlottesville and Sen. Mark Obenshain of Harrisonburg. Sen. Mark Herring of Loudon is seeking the Democratic nomination.
The Washington Post reported Frey's announcement Tuesday.

Lewis Hamilton put in a dominant display, leading the way in all three qualifying segments on his way to pole position.
The McLaren driver had been quickest in Friday's practices at the Hungaroring and followed that up with a P1 time in Q1 and again in Q2. However, it was the final segment that really counted.
Romain Grosjean put in a late effort to take second place on the grid, 0.413s down on the McLaren driver while Sebastian Vettel was third ahead of Jenson Button.
Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso will make up the third row of the grid.
Qualifying 1
There was no sign of rain at the Hungaroring as the sun beat down on a track that was hovering between 45C and 46C with an ambient of 30C.
Romain Grosjean was out early and started a pattern that would be often repeated in the qualifying hour, he missed his braking for Turn 1 and went straight on. Thus it was team-mate Kimi Raikkonen who set the first serious P1 time at 1:23.273. Nobody bettered it until Kimi came through again lowering it to 1:22.689.
Lewis Hamilton was consistently the fastest driver in Sector 1 but often had to back off mid-lap when he encountered traffic. He was next at the top of the timesheets with a 1:22.371 before he lowered that to 1:21.794. Lewis, like most, was using the Medium tyre
A re-invigorated Bruno Senna put his Williams into P2 behind Lewis while Felipe Massa seemed to be getting the better of Fernando Alonso in the intra-Ferrari battle.
With five minutes to go many of the teams were beginning to get nervous and strap on the faster Soft tyre. The danger positions were: 14.Perez, 15.Kobayashi, 16.Alonso, 17.DiResta, 18.Kovalainen, 19.Petrov, 20.Ricciardo.
Ricciardo moved up to P13, while Alonso and DiResta made themselves super-safe in P2 and P2 (DiResta going ahead of Alonso), Nico Rosberg slotted in between them in P3.
With the new teams taking the last six places, that made the edge of the dropzone: 16.Ricciardo, 17.Perez, 18.Kobayashi.
Button (who'd dropped to 14th) put himself in P3 and Perez eased clear in P6. That left the dropzone looking like: 15.Webber, 16.Vettel, 17.Ricciardo, 18.Kobayashi.
Kobayashi was out on track but Ricciardo had gone back to the garage, so when the Sauber driver put in a final lap to get himself P15, Ricciardo was out. It was the first time the Aussie had been eliminated in P18, that honour usually falling to his team-mate Jean-Eric Vergne - for which it's happened five times).
So out went: 18.Ricciardo, 19.Kovalainen, 20.Petrov, 21.Pic, 22.Glock, 23.de la Rosa, 24.Karthikeayn.
It was another great qualifying session for Charles Pic who is gaining ascendency over Tom Glock in the Marussia qualifying..
Qualifying 2
Times came down in Q2 as we got some cloud cover and although the session started with the track at 46C, by the end it was 40C. Felipe Massa set a great benchmark time of 1:21.951 with everyone switching to Soft tyres now.
Hulkenberg lowered the mark to 1:21.906, Button edged it down to 1:21.880 and Grosjean took it lower with a 1:21.854. Kimi Raikkonen was quicker than his team-mate, though and set P1 at 1:21.614.
Lewis Hamilton on his first set of softs set a very slow first lap and then nailed it on the second. His 1:21.060 put him over half a second clear and he wouldn't have to run again.
Running into the final five minutes the danger positions were: 7.Massa, 8.Vettel, 9.Perez, 10.Alonso, 11.Senna, 12.DiResta, 13.Rosberg, 14.Kobayashi, 15.Schumacher, 16.Maldonado, 17.Vergne.
Nobody felt safe and even Mark Webber who held P3 decided to go again. His fears were well-placed. Vergne claimed P13, Massa promoted himself to P2, Alonso took P3, Rosberg could only manage P8, Button made himself safe in P5, Vettel made himself even safer in P2 while Mark Webber - who had dropped by now to P7 - could only manage P7 again.
When Bruno Senna put his Williams into P8, that nudged Rosberg into P10 and Perez into P11. Then Maldonado grabbed hold of P3 pushing Webber into P9 and Senna into P10 and both Perez and Rosberg were gone. Nico Hulkenberg then put his Force India into P8 and when Senna recovered to P10 that meant Webber (who'd topped final practice this morning) was out.
Michael Schumacher was lingering back in P17 but was following Maldonado and when Pastor put a wheel on the dirt and clouds of it into the air, Michael abandoned his final attempt to get out of Q2.
So out went: 11.Webber, 12.DiResta, 13.Rosberg, 14.Perez, 15.Kobayashi, 16.Vergne, 17.Schumacher.
It was a great result for Williams to get both cars into Q3, but worrying for Mercedes that they could only manage 13th and 17th.
Qualifying 3
Temperatures were on the rise again for Q3 but Lewis Hamilton didn't help himself by muffing his first lap, running off circuit. That left the stage clear for Kimi Raikkonen to set provisional pole at 1:21.717.
When Lewis finally got his lap in it was half a second quicker at 1:21.260. Pastor Maldonado aborted a flying lap on used tyres so after the first runs only four cars had set a time with the order: 1.Hamilton, 2.Grosjean, 3.Button, 4.Raikkonen.
The reason there was only four times on the board was that everyone had used a lot of soft tyres in their bid to get to Q3. Vettel came out and looked like he was heading for pole on his single flying lap - at one point he was 0.15 up on Hamilton, but lost it in the final sector to finish P2.
Bruno Senna ruined his first run by going straight on at Turn 1, team-mate Maldonado grabbed P4, Hulkenberg put his Force India into P7, Alonso took P4 and Massa came up just short of him in P5. Button leapt them both to put his McLaren into P3 as Lewis Hamilton came out again to lower the provisional pole to 1:20.953.
Nobody was going to beat that but Romain Grosjean gave himself a front row start with a late run for P2. Hamilton's pole was McLaren's 150th pole position. Vettel is still in contention back in P3 but both men will fear the ability of Grosjean and Raikkonen's Lotus to look after its tyres in the race. The forecast for Sunday is hot with thundery showers, but Lotus will be hoping that the sun beats down and produces track temperatures in the mid-forties.
1 Lewis Hamilton McLaren 1:20.953
2 Romain Grosjean Lotus 1:21.366 0.413
3 Sebastian Vettel Red Bull 1:21.416 0.463

Order Information
This is a gripping memoir of a winter season of crab-fishing in the Bering Sea, filled with scary moments, killer ice, risky work, and—for the lucky ones—financial rewards. For others, surviving was their reward.
Just 25, Joe Upton was the youngest guy aboard when the 104-foot Flood Tide pulled out of Seattle in March 1971 headed for Dutch Harbor with 700-pound crab pots stacked three deep on her deck. The top-heavy load caused some anxious moments later when the vessel iced up. The crew went to work with hammers and baseball bats as howling winds roughed up the seas and the Flood Tide rolled from side to side, threatening to capsize while everyone held their breath.
BERING SEA BLUES is a thinking-man's book of the TV series "Deadliest Catch" because Joe Upton did a lot of thinking that winter working 12- to 14-hour days in weather that would scare most mariners away. He figured if he challenged fate in the Bering Sea crab fishery too long he would wind up either rich or dead, or both.
"If you had ever told me, in the years I lived on Unalaska Island, that the fishing life would become the stuff of prime time TV, I would have laughed all the way to the Elbow Room. Who, other than those who lived with fishermen could ever understand, or ever care to understand, that life?
Bering Sea Blues is a fine addition to the literature of the crab fishery. How it really is, is one thing. How it really was, well, that's another. And for how hairy and scary it used to be, Bering Sea Blues is your book!"
----Rebecca Goodrich, Alaska Cabin Bookshelf
"Joe Upton is an excellent writer ... if you love seeing or reading about
crabbing in the Aleutians and Bering Sea, you will thoroughly enjoy this
account. If you don't, but have a friend who does, be a pal and buy a copy."
----Dee Longenbaugh, Sitka (Alaska) Sentinel
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Joe Upton was a commercial fisherman for 25 years in Alaska and Maine. He is the author of seven books about Alaska. Joe lives with his wife on Bainbridge Island, Washington, and Vinalhaven Island, Maine.

If reading a document has ever left you absolutely drained, chances are it contained no subordinating structures. If you've ever failed to see the relevance, the writer probably failed to coordinate the ideas. These two simple structures allow our readers to identify a hierarchy of ideas in our documents and thus process information with ease. Without them, it becomes nearly impossible to make connections or come to an agreement on key issues. If you want your documents to read smoothly, if you want your readers to see your point clearly, if you want your arguments to communicate effectively, please join us in our ongoing webinar series. We'll discuss how to identify sentence groups that require a high degree of attention and how to reduce the reader's workload by subordinating ideas appropriately. We'll also talk about the benefits of coordination and see how both together can improve our flow, our reader's retention, and our document's effectiveness. - - Objectives—At the completion of this webinar you will be able to: - - Identify sentence groups that require a high attention span. - Select the right ideas to subordinate and the logical transitions to do so. - Use coordinating structures to improve relevance and flow. - Balance subordinating and coordinating structures logically and smoothly.

MOMENTS OF BLISS by moonymaniac
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 1201]
Summary: Remus Lupin is a man with a tragic past, filled with pain, suffering and sorrow. But it is also a past filled with great adventure, true friendship and…love? Even though the odds were against him, Remus found happiness at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He had the Marauders, he was a prefect and his transformations were less horrible, thanks to his Animagi friends. What more could a teenage werewolf want? And how long could his happiness last? Remus and the Marauders prove that in the saddest of lives and darkest of times, there can still be moments of bliss.
Remus centric but with a lot of the other Marauders. This story is a romance, but has almost as much general Marauder era background and side story as romance.

I am certain no one on this site ever did that, but...HYPOTHETICALLY...did a " FRIEND" ever do this dastardly thing.?????
Hi ed d: I built many go carts in my day but must confess that I never thought of utilizing supermarket wagon wheels to do it. Instead, I used wooden milk crates,some longer pieces of wood for the undercarriage and smaller pieces of wood to attach the axles to. I would use baby carriage or stroller wheels that were discarded and reattach them to the go cart. While we are on the topic, I would break apart cantalope crates and build shingle guns (or rifles) and utilize shingles that we would break off the roofs of garages as ammunition. Lastly we would buy a strong and thick rubberband and clothespin as the finishing touch. Those were goodtimes! DrSteve
Ed we never thought of ever using the wheels of supermarket carts for our carts, we weren't that far advanced. What we used was old roller skates that we screwed to the bottom of the carts.The only other Marty I knew other than my friend was a kid named Marty Bunson. He lived further up on the hill and was a pretty cool guy.

Jimbo-Same here. All those Produce store carts were mounted on an old set of roller skate wheels. Boy did they spark and go!
Way to go Sal.
We used to get wheels and axles from baby carriages for our "putt putts", as we used to call them. The source of the parts, I deny all knowledge, lol.
I know I had one of those carts where you knelt on the board and used the other foot to push off, but, for the life of me, I can't remember how I got it or who built it. Must have been my father.What I do remember is the noise the roller skates made and how my teeth rattled going over the ribbed entrance/exit to the basement of my building. The box part came from the local Safeway. I think they only lasted one summer.
Down here in S.C.,some people stradle the supermarket carts ( they call them buggies down here ) over a fire,and use them for barbicues.

Japanese Cowhide RugPrice: $1,560.00
Designed by Fernando Gerscovich, Juan Diego Gerscovich & Emily Kroll.
Handmade in Brazil by Pure Rugs.
The Japanese Cowhide Rug has the body of the future and the face of nature. This is a rug that truly captures the imagination with a hexagon pattern colorfully stitched together. Pure starts with a selection of the best cowhides from Brazil. Then each rug is individually hand crafted with 14" hexagons, assembled with a highly durable cotton ribbon, and finished with a perfect zigzag stitching pattern.
All Pure rugs are produced exclusively from natural cowhides, never dyed. The rugs are 100% biodegradable and natural. Backing is the natural suede of the hide with weighted suede corners so the ends don't peel up. This also means you do not need a rug pad. And Pure rugs are very easy to maintain. They can be shaken out and vacuumed on a low setting. Due to the quality of Pure hides, these rugs do not shed and are stain repellent. Just wipe up any spills with a damp cloth immediately. Suitable for residences, high traffic areas, contract applications and more!
This is a 100% natural product. As such, each hide is one of a kind and will exhibit its own distinct variations in characteristics and color, and will naturally and beautifully age over time. Note that any prolonged exposure to direct sun light will change material characteristics and color.
Eco Friendly
Material(s): Natural cowhide, cotton, ISO-9001 Certified for quality and ISO-14001 Certified for low environmental impact

Designer: Fernando Gerscovich & Juan Diego Gerscovich
The Gersovich brothers, Juan Diego and Ferndando, are born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, respectively in 1972 and 1975.
After graduating from Architecture school in the Universidad de Buenos Aires, the brothers travel to the United States to work for two prominent architecture offices, Lorcan O'Herlihy Architects and Alejandro Ortiz Architects.
In 2003, they get their first commission for the front-yard of a house in Venice, California.
Since then, Sundayland is established in Los Angeles, California, as a creative structure where dreams, materials and production processes are composed.View other products by Fernando Gerscovich & Juan Diego Gerscovich
Manufacturer: Pure Rugs
Pure™ Rugs. Everyone deserves the luxury of something as soft and natural as a Pure rug.
Pure was born in 2001 in Los Angeles, California when three Argentinean architects decided to start a cowhide rug company. The three had always admired the way architects and interior designers from the beginning of modernism were using cowhides as rugs, bringing a touch of warmth and eclecticism to their spaces. So their idea was to start the first cowhide brand. They named their company and vision 'Pure'.
Today, Pure offers the most desirable collection of modern cowhide and sheepskin rugs. Working with the softest, shiniest, full body hides, Pure leaves no detail behind. From individually selecting each hide and composing exclusive designs and patterns, to the perfection of each long lasting stitch, Pure Rugs are a long wearing product, timeless in design and use.
Pure Rugs are derived and crafted responsibly too. Quality hides are sourced from Argentina and Brazil, countries with a long-standing tradition of producing the best leathers worldwide. Pure partners with the most skilled leather artisans in the region - all Pure rugs are handmade in Buenos Aires, Argentina. And all hides used in the production of Pure products are leftovers from the food industry. Pure Tanneries are ISO-9001 certified for quality and ISO 14001 certified for low environmental impact. That's Pure: naturally beautiful, responsibly made modern luxury.View other products from Pure Rugs

The paperback Thirteen Days book takes a look at the pivotal crisis between the two nations as no other book on the subject can. Senator Robert F. Kennedy relays his experiences at the time as his brother, President Kennedy, grappled with a clear and present nuclear threat. A landmark Cuban missile crisis book, Thirteen Days reveals the thoughts and emotions that led to the decisions during that tense period in 1962.
The paperback Thirteen Days book is a unique, gripping account of the perilous showdown between the United States and the Soviet Union. During the thirteen days in October 1962 when the United States confronted the Soviet Union over its installation of missiles in Cuba, few people shared the behind-the-scenes story as it is told here by the late Senator Robert F. Kennedy. In the Cuban missile crisis book, Thirteen Days, in a clear and simple record, he describes the personalities involved in the crisis, with particular attention to the actions and attitudes of his brother, President John F. Kennedy. He describes the daily, even hourly, exchanges between Russian representatives and American. The American history book Thirteen Days presents, in firsthand immediacy, the frightening responsibility of two great nations holding the fate of the world in their hands.
Shop for the paperback Thirteen Days book for an insider's view of the 1962 crisis that shook the world.

At 6:30 sharp the evening was already in full swing as guests promptly began flooding in through the showroom doors ready to celebrate.
As delicious vegan hor'devours (courtesy of Blossom NYC) were passed and organic wine was poured guests got a chance to relax and talk energy-efficiency with the Philips LED booth.
Later on in the evening there was a raffle where five lucky party goers got to take home one of these innovative wallet-saving bulbs, and one lucky lady got to leave with a beautiful new Carioca end table that was generously donated by Environment right from their showroom floor.
We even had a special mistletoe photo booth set up by Liam Alexander from The Photo Booth Project, so everybody at the party had a chance to document their very own Green Lighting Holiday memories. You can check out all of the photo booth pictures on our flickr page.
We want to give a big thanks to Philips for sponsoring this awesome event, and to everybody who came out on Monday night. We're super excited that we had the chance to get together with our friends and our awesome NYC readers for some real holiday fun. Thank you Philips!

- The ultimate celebration and investigation of engineering excellence.
- For over a decade, MODERN MARVELS has brought grand stories to life.
- Simple, elegant solutions and brute effort enhanced the barbarian arsenal.
Celebrating ingenuity, invention and imagination brought to life on a grand scale, MODERN MARVELS® tells the fascinating stories of the doers, dreamers and sometime-schemers who created everyday items, technological breakthroughs and man-made wonders.
How did barbarians do it? Considering their popular image - wild hair, huge battle axe, wild eyes - it's hard to believe they could have made a dent in the greatest empires in history. And, yet, Rome and others fell to the hordes.
Join MODERN MARVELS® in a fascinating analysis of the surprisingly elegant weaponry and tactics the barbarians utilized. Discover their mastery of the bow and a suspension system that revolutionized transportation. See how they perfected metallurgy by watching as one of the world's finest metal workers as he shapes iron ore into a classic Celtic sword.
With a decidedly more modern twist, BARBARIAN BATTLE TECH also illustrates through cutting-edge computer animation how simply digging a ditch was enough to protect a village. And the designers of "Rome: Total War: Barbarian Invasion" reveal how they devised a system that accurately recreates the great barbarian battles.
Which "primitive" weapon scored the best? You'll be surprised by the answers revealed by BARBARIAN BATTLE TECH.

Zach Theriault threw a nine-yard touchdown pass to Ricky Rivera for West's first score (making the game 7-7 in the first quarter. A Killian Bullock fumble recovery for a touchdown accounted for West's (0-1) other score.
Alvirne crossed midfield in the closing minutes and the Owls held on downs to secure the win.
The Huskies scored early and often against the visiting Sabers. They were up 20-0 with a little less than four minutes remaining in the opening quarter and upped the lead to 33-0 by halftime.
Isaiah Prince, Monadnock's first-year quarterback, was immense. He ran for three touchdowns and ran for another.

"I'm not going to underplay our team," Patnode said. "The schedule is what it is. We don't have it in our heads that we're a Division III school playing in Division II."

I have been reading the books to have my group play this game, and came up on a couple of questions and requests. Some of these might have been answered before, but I couldn't find them, or they might be in one of my open tabs that I am yet to read. If answered in the book, please point me to the right page, or feel free to explain.
Regarding the Noble Houses.
1.- Are the characters supposed to be a banner house of one of the great houses, such as Stark, Tully, Lannister, or of lesser houses, like the Karstarks, Cleganes, Kettlebacks?
2- If being a vassal of a lesser house, should anything be adjusted on house creation? I don't think it would make much sense to have a house that is bigger, wealthier and carries more influence than its overlord, but I could be wrong.
3.- Does the head of the house need to have the name of the house? As an example, if the only heir of the Starks were Sansa's son, whom she had with say Joffrey, would a theoretical Jaime Baratheon be the lord of House Stark? Or would the house simply cease to be and come to be known under the new name? Would this case be the same if she had the son with a Mormont?
I am wondering this partially from an idea of having the player house eat a bigger house, maybe their overlord, through marriage or the like, and I don't know if the original house name would remain, or if that would be only if it were a more "influential" house.
Characters and their profession
4.- I know its common for people to play heirs of the house, but I was wondering, in your experience, has this led to issues within the party? My players usually end up following whoever has the character that works as a leader and has the stats for it, but also base their decision on how he is roleplayed, and I could see this becoming an issue if the one playing the heir/expected party leader was a bad player (we have some of those).
5.- Is it wise to have the steward as a PC character? From what I understood he is in charge of how the family fares, and it seems weird for him to be in charge of that when he isn't even there to take care of it, but maybe I'm just being too logical about it.
Story ideas
6.- I have seen and am reading some topics in the forums with this question, but I was wondering if people could suggest story ideas, mainly as a starting point and as a way to introduce them to the system. My players have knowledge of oWoD and D&D, and those aren't all that similar to this one.
House Rules
7.- Are there any house rules that are, for lack of a better word, "required" to have? I have seen people changing the prices of everything and other such changes, but without playing I wonder if those changes are actually needed to balance the game out.
Regarding the rule books
8.- Should I have my players read any part of the rule books? If so, which part?
9.- In your experience, which information from the books should I keep handy? I don't have the screen, but I hear it has tables that come in handy often on it, could someone tell me which tables those are?
I think those are it for now, but I'm sure more might come up later.
10.- Any suggested starting date? I am thinking of 2 years before Robert's Rebellion
11.- How common are wars of conquest between minor houses, and what consequences might come of that? Added to that, is it possible for a house in the North to either conquer or inherit lands outside of the North, and how would that be handled?

Kids today just ain't the same. Yeah I said it! They're weak. They live indoors in their perfect little plastic bubbles. They spend their days using technology and their summers in all sorts of fancy-dancy, specialty camps. Well, this post is a throwback to the good ol' days of growing up. Back in the day, when we stayed outside until dark, Living La Vida Loca, before it was even a song — LOL. While talking with Ronnie a few days ago and telling her for the umpteenth time that kids today aren't built like we were, I realized that I needed to put it down on
paper my keyboard.
Below is my list of 10 things that I did as a child that today's kids would never do! Now I'm not condoning any of these actions, and my kids would be in severe trouble for doing half of the things on this list, but let's go.
STAND UP IN A MOVING CAR 1 of 9I remember standing up from the backseat as a child. When we got a car with bucket seats I was always standing in between the two. This would definitely be a no-no in today's times.
Photo credit: Lamar Tyler
NOT WEAR A SEAT-BELT 2 of 9I don't remember if we even had seat belts in my childhood car. When I do remember having the lap belts we still didn't use them. Nowadays my kids will go crazy if I pull out of my driveway and haven't buckled up yet.
Photo credit: Lamar Tyler
PLAY OUTSIDE ALL DAY LONG 3 of 9I remember playing from right after breakfast to right before dinner. Hot days, cold days, in between, it didn't matter. The neighborhood was always abuzz.
Photo credit: Lamar Tyler
NOT GO TO SUMMER CAMP 4 of 9I went to a few summer camps in my youth but nothing like these newjack kids. Computer camp this, culinary camp that. As I mentioned before, we just went outside, and don't forget your house key or you'll be locked out until your parents get home from work.
Photo credit: Lamar Tyler
ROAM THE NEIGHBORHOOD 5 of 9We got on our bikes and let the wind hit our back. We rode from our neighborhood to the next one. We travled around town to spend loose change at the nearest convenience store. You traveled as far as your legs would take you. Nowadays we don't let our kids off of the block.
Photo credit: Lamar Tyler
LEAVE OUT WITHOUT A CELL PHONE 6 of 9Cell phone? I didn't get a pager until I was 16-years-old. Now there are kids are under 10 with iPhones, and their parents still have a flip.
Photo credit: Lamar Tyler
SAVE CARDBOARD BOXES FOR BREAKDANCING 7 of 9Whoa! Flashback! We couldn't wait until someone brought something big so we could use the box to do the backspin. Finding a refrigerator box was like looking for Bigfoot.
Photo credit: Lamar Tyler
WAIT ALL WEEK TO SEE YOUR FAVORITE SHOW 8 of 9Back in the day we couldn't wait until Saturday mornings to watch cartoons. But now, our kids watch cartoons morning, noon, and night. And when they get tired of watching those cartoons they pull up more on Netflix. Good grief! Credit: dullhunk
NEVER QUIT A PAID ACTIVITY 9 of 9We never even dreamt of trying to quit something that mama paid for with her hard earned money. But, this is the age of entitlement and if the kids don't enjoy it they shouldn't have to do it. SMH!

My Grandmother's Hands
I'm finishing the Amsterdam Scarf today.
The Amsterdam Scarf, which I knit in Chicago and did not finish in time to wear to Amsterdam, is made to match the London Beanie (which I knit in Chicago with Turkish yarn and wore in Amsterdam, and which has never been to London).
It is not to be confused with the Edo Scarf, which I knit in Amsterdam with yarn imported from London, and which I am wearing in Chicago.
Everybody clear? Good.
I decided to sew in the ends on the Amsterdam Scarf today during my commute. Our weather is pleasant this morning for a change, cool but sunny, and so I sat down on the train and pulled out the scarf and darning needle feeling very calm and unusually cheerful for 8 a.m.
The funniest thing happened. I threaded the first yarn end, and as I slipped the needle into the stitches suddenly my hands weren't my hands, they were my grandmother's hands.
My grandmother probably knows how to knit - she knows how to do everything useful and domestic - but her needlework forte is sewing. She sewed, mended, and altered clothes for herself and her family before marrying, supported her three children as a young widow by sewing, and still (in her mid-80s) takes in light alterations when her eyes permit.
When I close my eyes and picture her, she's always holding four or five straight pins in the corner of her mouth.
And as I sewed this morning, I realized that I bend my head, hold my work and move my needle in exactly the same way she does. I even purse my lips in the same way when I'm coming to the end of the thread.
She lives far away from me, in Pennsylvania, and I don't get to see her as much as I wish I could. But I never realized until this morning that I suppose there's a part of her that's always with me, and I suppose always will be.
Pictures of the finished Amsterdam Scarf tonight, unless the Neverending Pain in the Ass project I'm working on for the university kills me first. In which case, it's been nice knowing you, and please send my intarsia sweater to Jon or Tricky to be finished so I can be buried in it.

Oh, wow. Your grandmother's hands look alot like my grandmother's hands. I miss my grandmother so much. I know I don't have to tell you this, but cherish yours while you can.

what a beautiful post Franklin. Like Colleen I envy you your grandmother. The funny thing about it is that you might think, "well what would I *do* if I visited my grandmother?" You might have a hard time imagining how it would go...would you just show up in her kitchen one day and say "Here I am, let's start having Meaningful Experiences™ and Cherishing Each Other™...." and it all seems a bit strange.
Or maybe it doesn't seem so to you, because you already know what it took me a while to figure out... that despite what our Hahavahd education and consumer culture have taught us, there are a lot of things that can't be put into words. If you showed up in her kitchen you wouldn't have to say anything, except maybe "this looks like it's gonna boil over, want me to stir it for you?"
Actually you wouldn't even hafta say that, you'd just stir.
But what do I know? Silly me, imagining your grandmother for you... Here I am on the other side of the looking glass, just as you said. ;-)

The folksinger Claudia Schmidt does a song called "Grandma's Hands" on her 1983 album "Out of the Dark", a very eclectic mix. Your post made me think of it.

Hello friends,
I'd like to apologize beforehand if this question has been covered in previous threads already. I was almost certain that it had but a search or two didn't generate anything that I thought matched.
I'm still a beginner at meditation so my question might not be the most sophisticated conceptually but here it goes:
Even though I've read fairly widely in the last few years I've been a follower of Thanissaro Bhikkhu's writings and talks for some time now because of his eloquence in expounding a very logical dhamma framework. I've especially taken an interest in the way he frames the meditation experience and the employment of 'fabrication' (sankhara) in order to further concentration and deepening states of samadhi. I don't have a quote handy at the moment but can find one later if pressed, but basically he says (and please correct me if you think my understanding of this is flawed) that the process of focusing your attention and perceiving the breath in the body is a fabrication in itself because it is still fashioned from the preceding stages in dependent co-arising which would thus make un-conditioned perception impossible. However, the process of fabricating these experiences in the right way works as an aid in focusing one's concentration. This makes very much sense to me.
With this explanation fresh in mind I attended a Goenka retreat a few days ago and was introduced to this particular movement's take on vedana and sankharas which brings me to my question:
Goenka talks about how after three days of his Anapana instructions absolute beginners to meditation can start experiencing the kalapas as subatomic particles arising and passing away on the surface of the skin and how this is the continuing arising and passing away of the whole bodily structure. This sounds relatively incredulous to me if it's intended to be taken literally. In his daily discourses Goenka is often heard talking about perceiving reality "as it is, not as you would like it to be" and observing the truth about the kalapas. It however sounds highly unlikely to me that anyone would think of these subtle bodily sensations as kalapas arising and passing unless one was given this framework of perception to begin with.
To my mind the act of focusing on a certain area of the body and/or perceiving it as myriads of kalapas an act of using perception and sankhara (in the case of shaping your experience) right there but no indication of this is given. At one time when I consulted the assistant teacher present about using the breath to focus on vedana he answered approvingly about using the breathing to pace the scanning but when I immediately after said that I like to use a perception of the breath opening up the whole body to experience the sensations more throughly he said "No, that's imagining things. We don't do that."
My thinking was at first that this is an instruction to so-called new students and that this experience of vedana is an aid to the practice and subsequent progress within the tradition will expound more on the relationship of this view of the body/perception. But I guess this is my question: is this role of using perception acknowledged in the Goenka tradition or do they speak of this 'objective reality' all the way thru? And how about other traditions that I'm less familiar with?
