|The Old Maid - My Delia Dilemma - The Old Maid - My Delia Dilemma In my first reading of The Old Maid, I found it hard to dissect the character of Delia. Edith Wharton made me work hard to figure Delia out by not spelling her out directly, but bringing her on gradually. After subsequent readings however, I saw this story as a sort of coming of age story about Delia Lovell and not about an old maid. Although the title is surely meant to reflect our feelings for the character of Charlotte, whom it seemed was destined to become an old maid in the eyes of Delia, Wharton uses the character of Charlotte as does Delia, to tell a story of a woman who gets a second chance and does everything in her power not to mess it up....

She was a writer during the Harlem Renaissance, also known as "the new negro movement", however; her writings were not given proper recognition at first because they were not of the "norm" for that time period.

My 1963 Beetle
My 1963 VW Beetle - January 2012
Welcome to the home of my 1963 VW 1200 series vehicle, also known as the Beetle or Käfer. In April of 2011 I acquired my Beetle from its former owner in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Originally it came to America and was placed into service on March 29, 1963 in Gainesville, Georgia. The selling dealer was Bell Auto Sales.
Since 1963 this little Käfer was bought and sold several times ultimately spending much time in or around Villa Rica, Georgia. The owner of Herrell Bug Parts, LLC in Carrollton, Georgia did a partial restoration on the car in the 1980's. He stated that the car was very original and the mileage was accurate. At the time I purchased the car it had 134,320 on the odometer.
The purpose of this site is to chronicle the rebirth of this fine little car as I go about restoring her to as close to stock condition as time and budget allows. I hope you visit often as you see this German classic return to her glory days.
My 63 Bug News:
All four Firestone Firehawk 5.60 x 15 tires are installed. I love the new look. Also corrected several broken hub cap clamps after I lost a hub cap while traveling down the road. The spare tire installed in mid February. The tire project is completed!
Maintenance Update
The Beetle ended up being towed home behind my pickup truck on Monday, April 16, 2012. I had stopped for fuel after a nice little ride and low and behold the old girl would not start! You cannot jump off a 6 volt car easily so we towed her up to the house about one mile away.
Well I have new Carquest battery installed tonight. She is running great again. Never been towed behind a pickup truck in a Beetle. I must say even being towed was a treat in that little 63!

Note to self: Don't piss off Snooki.
Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, star of MTV's Jersey Shore , recently got into a tiff with residents of the Pelican Island community over location scouting for the reality star's upcoming season of Snooki & JWoww. According to NJ.com, over 40 Pelican Island residents gathered to protest the idea of Snooki and JWoww residing on their island. Pelican Island is still recovering from the detrimental effects of Hurricane Sandy, and only about 30 of the 150 households are back. Residents say that the island is not ready to deal with a film crew and the publicized attention in its current state.
Upon hearing the news, the bite-sized guidette took to her Instagram:

Really excellent progress my friend. +rep for you. Can you please consider including move motion controller support within multiman interface. Since more and more move games are hitting the market, I believe this will be an good to have feature.Sponsored Links
ok but to copy-paste where exactly on ps3 ?? and can i copy the mp3 file or must i make it sound.bin if i must to make sound .bin how can i make it ?? sorry i know i asked to many questions but i really want to know it couse i love the program just want t ochange the music on backround thats all.Sponsored Links
thanks and regards
no problem. just change the extension from, .mp3 to .bin, and copy it to ev_hdd0/game/BLES80608/USRDIR/
overwrite it and that's it...
Just a suggestion here... maybe there should be an exclusive thread for multiman's themes. All discussion and submission should go there. This thread here is getting really long (1700+ post). This one can be kept for technical discussion and other things.
ps: thanks deanrr for the great bm and condor for the great themes
Okay.. I'll create a sub forum for the themes... check in couple of mins..
In the 1st post I'll include links to the existing themes.
You can post your themes, questions and comments in the new thread --> http://www.ps3news.com/forums/deanrr...ns-116252.html
Guys, what do you think of a small application like the BD-ROM one which I posted few days ago...
It will appear on your XMB/GAME column but will allow you to start the LAST game you launched with multiMAN.
1) Start your PS3
2) Launch multiMAN and play a game
3) Turn off the PS3
4) Later turn on the PS3
5) Launch the game you played directly from the XMB without opening multiMAN again
Last edited by deank; 12-21-2010 at 03:39 PM Reason: Automerged Doublepost
Great idea, but does it need to be a seperate app? Can't this be incorporated in multiMAN?
What's the point? The idea is not to waste time in loading multiMAN but start the game from the XMB.
multiMAN will set everything for this new app and it will appear on the xmb as the last game loaded. I'll post a screenshot later.
I think that would be a really good feature. It doesn't make a whole lot of difference now that you've speeded everything up but would still be a nice thing to be able to do, especially if you're just playing one game all the time, but are stop-starting a lot....it would be handy.
That would be neat, Dean. Would it be possible to add it as an option from the MultiMan options sub-menu in the XMB (when you select MultiMan and hit Triangle)?

MISS ON SCENE: Mary Woronov
The Many Loves of a Southern Cinephile:
Mary Woronov
I'd be willing to bet that you probably know who Mary Woronov is, whether the name rings a bell or not. She's not exactly an actor of prominence, but instead of vast prolificacy—at least in certain genres, or rather, all of them.
Discovered first by Andy Warhol after skulking around his Factory, she danced with The Velvet Underground and later cut an indelible portrait in his Screen Tests films. Her most well-known work with Warhol was in his crown jewel, Chelsea Girls, as Hanoi Hannah, an unassuming BDSM dominatrix clad in slim pants and a silk blouse. These were roles that didn't really require much of Woronov other than looking really sinister and in control. In fact, it seems much of her career is predicated entirely on her sharp-boned lion's face. She's also perennially thin and six feet tall, and, despite these memorable characteristics, not exactly much of an actor.
But her shortcomings in skill haven't precluded her from finding incredibly steady work—since Warhol she's appeared in over sixty films and dozens of popular TV shows, in some capacity or another. If you're into genre pictures, especially those attached to Roger Corman, or the best titles to lurch out of Troma Studios's teenage-boy production house, Mary Woronov would be on the shortlist of familiar faces. Because of her work in some of the most critically beloved B pictures of all time, she has quite a robust cult following, having even published a memoir called Confessions of a Cult Queen (which I haven't read, but not for lack of trying) and, should you become intrigued at all by this versatile low-budget leading lady, she's likely headlining a panel at a comic con near you.
And now, my selections of the finest genre pictures that happen to have the occasionally stiff and mesmerizing Mary Woronov in them. But truly, in researching this column I revisited and came across so much of her awesome work that this list is hardly scratching the surface.
1. Death Race 2000 (dir. Paul Bartel, 1975)
This movie has to go first because of its classic cult status, plus it's the first time I first encountered Ms. Woronov or her breasts (did I mention she does a lot of nudity?). Woronov is, to be fair, one of the last reasons why you should experience this film if you haven't already—it's a pretty insanely brilliant satire representative of all the reasons why genre pictures are awesome—i.e. they're weird and unkempt enough to be totally, shockingly intelligent. But, as the premise goes, four racecar drivers compete in the Annual Transcontinental Road Race, a rabidly popular and extensively televised state-mandated sport in the United Provinces of the future, during which racers attempt to sacrifice as many fellow humans as possible. The most dazzling performances are by David Carradine (sigh, of course) as Frankenstein, the veteran racer with the most obsessed fan base, and his rival, played by a super young Sly Stallone, as "Machine Gun" Joe Viterbo. Woronov has the distinction of being the sole female driver, Calamity Jane, and, in true pre-feminist 1970s plot structure, the first driver offed under mysterious circumstances. The reason why it's a noteworthy Woronov role is basically because it's a sublter tone for how she's cast in other films—strangely sexy, aggressive, and somewhat androgynous. She's the only female competitor in this death-racing boys' club, after all.
2. & 3. Eating Raoul and Scenes from the Class Struggle in Beverly Hills (dir. Paul Bartel, 1982 and 1989 respectively)
I've cheated and put these movies together because they're perfect companion films, a fact that becomes terribly obvious not just through the casting decisions (there's basically an ensemble repeat, including Woronov, Bartel, and resident brown person Robert Beltran) but also their pointed thematic implications.
The beloved black comedy Eating Raoul is set in Los Angeles in the heyday of swing parties, sex toy shops on every corner, and rampant crime. Paul and Mary Bland (Bartel and Woronov) are a couple of non-libidinous squares just trying to scrape together enough money to open a restaurant in the country. After accidentally killing a gold-medallion-wearing sleazy neighbor after he tried to put the moves on Mary, they realize how easy it would be to kill perverts and take their money, so they set her up with a salacious personal ad and a P.O. box and begin taking clients. Raoul, a Chicano con man, enters their lives after a botched theft, and gets in on the racket. As Mary and Raoul develop a sexual relationship, Paul becomes suspicious, and before long, everyone's as immoral and opportunistic as the other. This was one of Woronov's first starring vehicles and managed to her win her some critical attention, though I'm pretty sure it was the first and last time that ever happened.
In Scenes from the Class Struggle in Beverly Hills, Robert Beltran returns to seduce Woronov, but this time he's the lower-class chauffeur of the lovely Claire (Jacqueline Bisset), a recently widowed washed-up TV actress. Like some perverted Chekhov play, one weekend Lisabeth Hepburn-Saravian (Woronov), her disabled son Willie (Barret Oliver), her famous overrated playwright brother (Ed Begley, Jr.) and his new wife To-Bel (Arnetia Walker) all go to stay in Claire's mansion while hers is fumigated. Bartel shows up as Claire's quack "thinologist," Dr. Mo Van de Kamp (a chocolate-gobbling cairn-terrier molesting creep), another layabout constantly at the home. If the fantastically pretentious title isn't heavy enough to indicate that we're neck-deep in another comment on Southern California culture, then the comically overblown dialogue (best line from Bartel: "Where is my chien sauvage!" in reference to aforementioned terrier) will elucidate what we're working with here. Personally, I think Scenes is a far stronger comedy than Raoul. Woronov isn't any more lively this time around, though her wooden comic delivery lands more naturally amidst all these over-actors, including the ever-marvelous Wallace Shawn, who shows up as her womanizing ex-husband, Howard, in what can only be a small nod to his punch line role as Diane Keaton's beguiling ex in Manhattan.
4. Sugar Cookies (dir. Theodore Gershuny, 1973)
Warning: NSFW
The best way to describe Sugar Cookies, the Citizen Kane of Mary Woronov's career? That's easy: Lesbian Vertigo. This film was a product of Woronov's then-husband, Theodore Gershuny (who also directed her in Silent Night, Bloody Night) and Troma co-founder Lloyd Kaufman (in the pre-Troma days), with an associate production credit from Kaufman's Yale classmate, Oliver Stone. The premise is pretty awesome: A skeezy pornographer, Max (George Shannon) convinces his greatest star to commit suicide as part of some serious fetish play. Her lover, Camila (Wornov), an associate of Max's, arranges to hire an innocent girl (Lynn Lowry) who's a dead ringer for the deceased star in the ultimate revenge plot. (Sound familiar? Maybe like a 1984 De Palma premise?) These are clearly the selfsame idle and lecherous rich lampooned in the Bartel films. While there's an excessive amount of sex scenes (really, I'm saying that about a B-movie focused on the porn industry) the general withholding of information provides for juicy tension. In a way, this role embodies everything the tall, ice-cold Woronov has since been typecast for, but it works so well. She's like what I always wanted to be in college: a powerful, feelingless lesbian. She's a villain and a hero all at once, desired by men and women alike. That kind of gender role/sexual fluidity I find to be fairly unbelievable in most actors, but Woronov's silent command of an armchair rivals only, like, a Raymond Chandler mastermind.
Honorable Mentions
Since she's got so many excellent titles under her snugly-fitting belt, I'll just name a few other worth viewing. Despite the name, Silent Night, Bloody Night isn't so much a Christmas-horror fusion film to add to your collection, but really a nicely paced low-budget thriller. There are definitely production weaknesses, but throw in a virtuous Woronov protagonist, a mute John Carradine, and a sepia-toned insane-asylum murder sequence populated with Warhol notables like the transsexual Candy Darling, and everything is just as wonderfully disturbing as it ought to be. Woronov highlight: Her terrifying shrieks as she scrambles away from the villain in the final sequence.
Woronov dons a jumpsuit as one of my favorite 1980s archetypes, the sexy scientist, in 1984's Night of the Comet, a brilliant hybrid of the Valley Girl, zombie, and post-apocalyptic film. This one also features Robert Beltran. Here again, Woronov's severe facial features and deadpan delivery don't render her exactly trustworthy, but the small role plays with that deception perfectly.
And, finally: the Roger Corman–produced Rock & Roll High School of 1979. Don't see this movie because of Woronov, though her Miss Togar, the sadistic disciplinarian with two horny hall-monitor henchmen in tow, is another riff on her natural dominatrix disposition. Don't even see this movie because of the Ramones, who famously guest star and are, bizarrely, treated like epic sex symbols. Just see this movie because you are an American, and you care about exquisite moments in American culture. That should have been my argument for this entire column, but I hadn't thought of it until just now.

I loved going to UW Bothell. It was the perfect school for me. The classes were small, the professors were great, and the students were all very smart. I also liked the small campus feel. UW Bothell prepared me well when dealing with group work and in teams, which is something I do every day at my current job. It also helped me broaden my view of the world and it taught me to have empathy when dealing with people. The biggest thing I got out of it was that life is a balance. We are complex human beings and must always be aware of that.
I now work in the corporate world, which I don't recommend for everyone. I don't believe that it has adapted well to the current culture and I see a lot of struggle with younger people in it.
One of my goals is to see as much of the world as I can. I really enjoy learning about other cultures and that was the reason why I majored in Global Studies. One of the toughest choices for you might be to find out what it is that you really enjoy doing. If you just want to make money, the corporate world might be for you, if you want to give, then you might want to look at a non-profit company, if you want to just be happy, find out what you love and do that, but if you don't know what you love or want then I highly recommend traveling for a while.
UW Bothell taught me to not be afraid of challenges. But the best thing it did was that I was always learning. I miss that the most. That's something that doesn't happen as much in the corporate world. There are a lot of TPS reports to deal with (Office Space reference).
I will leave you with one quote from Darwin. "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change." UW Bothell was great at focusing on adapting and making the school and courses better for its students. Go Dawgs!!!

By Jeffco Sheriff Ted Mink
As my term in office approaches its final days, I'm experiencing a great deal of personal reflection. I'm sure everyone goes through a similar process of recounting how they reacted to a situation or event, sorting out in their mind if they could have done something different — while recalling the successes and failures along the way.
Olli Maatta, a 20-year-old hockey player from Finland, was living the dream. A year ago, he broke into the Pittsburgh Penguins' lineup as a teenager and became one of their regular defensemen, and he was widely recognized as being among the National Hockey League's top rookies.
We have very little in the way of red fall colors in this area. However, we do have a native heuchera, closely related to the coral bells that are known to every gardener.
It bears a spike of greenish-white flowers in summer and grows in a dinner plate-size clump of leaves that turn a bright orange-red in fall.
Wild strawberries also produce a few red leaves in fall, and some of the many varieties of potentilla also have red leaves, but all of these are so well concealed among the grasses and other plants that they are often overlooked.
Republican challenger Tim Neville edged out incumbent Democrat Jeanne Nicholson by 3 percentage points in the state Senate District 16 race, according to unofficial results from the secretary of state.
"I'm thankful to God for the opportunity, and for the people's support," Neville said.
Although early returns did not show a clear winner in Senate District 16, sufficient votes had been counted by Monday, when Nicholson said she conceded to Neville.
Incumbent Democrat Jared Polis defeated Republican challenger George Leing 55 percent to 45 percent in the 2nd Congressional District, which includes Evergreen and Conifer.
Tallies from the Colorado Secretary of State's office showed Polis's win to be 54.7 percent of the vote over Leing's percent at 45.3 percent of the vote.
Morrison Republican Jon Keyser scored a decisive victory over Democratic challenger Janet Doyle of Evergreen and Libertarian candidate Jack Woehr in his first-time bid for state House District 25.
Keyser captured 52.5 percent of the vote, and Doyle had 43 percent. Woehr garnered 4.5 percent, according to results posted by the secretary of state for the Nov. 4 election.
Republican Don Rosier's bid to win a second term on the Jeffco Board of County Commissioners was successful. Rosier captured 50 percent of the vote to 42 percent for Democratic challenger John Flerlage. Independent candidate Greg Standley had about 8 percent.
Jeffco voters overwhelmingly picked Jeff Shrader as the county's next sheriff.
Results showed the Republican Shrader with 73 percent of the vote over Libertarian candidate Brett Almy's 27 percent.
In the same fashion as Tuesday's election, Shrader overwhelmingly captured the GOP nomination in June over Jim Shires, winning more than 60 percent of the primary vote.
The age-old quest for "happily ever after" has unfolded in fairy tales, stories and movies throughout time. In 1986, Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine set out to create a musical that asked the next question: What happens after happily ever after? The result was a Tony Award-winning musical that presents a new twist on fairy tales. This weekend, the high school company of StageDoor Theatre in Conifer sets out to answer the question of life after happily ever after in its production of "Into the Woods."
"Grease" is the word around our mountain towns these days. Grab your leather jackets and bobby socks and take a trip down memory lane with the original high school musical! This sock-hop show performed by the Venue Theatre's high school company is sure to have audiences hand-jiving the night away.

There were times when Baron Davis was as good a playmaker, as good a pure point any guard in the NBA — remember how he played when he led Golden State to the first-round upset of the Dallas Mavericks? He had the gift of court vision, and even in his frustrating later years on the nights he showed up physically and mentally right he could be magical. I've seen few players be able to light up a crowd like he could on the right night.
We may never see those days again.
The Knicks have announced that Baron Davis' knee injury is much worse than we thought. And anyone who saw the video thought it was bad. Here is the announcement from the New York Knicks:
Injury Update: MRI on Baron Davis' R knee revealed partial tear of the patella tendon & complete tears of the ACL & MCL.
Davis will have surgery later this week but would be age 34 when trying to make a comeback from this. A guy who has struggled to come back from injuries in recent years such as the herniated disc in his back that has limited him these playoffs.
Davis, when he was going right, was always one of my favorite players to watch. Too often, do to conditioning and more, we had to catch glimpses of what he was capable of — in transition he could be amazing. Too many days he settled for threes (early in the clock), but when he attacked he could score or dish as well as anyone.
He'll try to come back, but it's hard to be optimistic. I'll miss him. I'll miss Boom Dizzle. I'll miss the beard.

"So yummy! I made the filling at the same time as my sister in law was making cranberry sauce. She was joking about getting cranberry in my pumpkin, which was delicious! So instead of honey we made a cranberry simple syrup reduction. This will be a new forever Thanksgiving dessert. We also made a jumbo version using 4 full sheets of fillo. So"
"Great recipe! Loved the lemon, it really added brightness and intensified the flavor the greens. The bacon added a nice smoky salty flavor. Even my roommate, who dislikes collards liked this version."

Why National Bank Of Greece (NBG) Stock Is Down Thursday
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of the National Bank of Greece (NBG) are down -12.72% to $3.02 on Thursday after Greece's statistics agency said the country's economy decline -1.1% for the first quarter of 2014 compared to the same period 2013 when the economy dropped -3.86%, according to a report from Emerging Markets.
The Greek economy is expected to show a growth of 0.6% this year, ekathimerini.com reported.
Separately, on Wednesday Standard & Poor's upgraded its rating on National Bank of Greece as well as three other major banks in Greece to "CCC+" from "CCC."
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 10 Favorite Growth Stocks
The firm affirmed its short term rating at "C" and said outlook on the banks looks stable.TheStreet Ratings team rates NATIONAL BANK OF GREECE as a Sell with a ratings score of D. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate NATIONAL BANK OF GREECE (NBG) a SELL. This is driven by multiple weaknesses, which we believe should have a greater impact than any strengths, and could make it more difficult for investors to achieve positive results compared to most of the stocks we cover. The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its generally disappointing historical performance in the stock itself and feeble growth in its earnings per share." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:
- Despite any intermediate fluctuations, we have only bad news to report on this stock's performance over the last year: it has tumbled by 71.54%, worse than the S&P 500's performance. Consistent with the plunge in the stock price, the company's earnings per share are down 87.77% compared to the year-earlier quarter. Naturally, the overall market trend is bound to be a significant factor. However, in one sense, the stock's sharp decline last year is a positive for future investors, making it cheaper (in proportion to its earnings over the past year) than most other stocks in its industry. But due to other concerns, we feel the stock is still not a good buy right now.
- NATIONAL BANK OF GREECE has experienced a steep decline in earnings per share in the most recent quarter in comparison to its performance from the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. We feel it is likely to report a decline in earnings in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, NATIONAL BANK OF GREECE turned its bottom line around by earning $1.98 versus -$27.80 in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 93.4% in earnings ($0.13 versus $1.98).
- NBG, with its decline in revenue, slightly underperformed the industry average of 9.0%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues fell by 16.3%. Weakness in the company's revenue seems to have hurt the bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
- 46.25% is the gross profit margin for NATIONAL BANK OF GREECE which we consider to be strong. Regardless of NBG's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, NBG's net profit margin of 39.31% significantly outperformed against the industry.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 95.36% to -$61.40 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, NATIONAL BANK OF GREECE has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of -26.36%.

Designed for flipping, pitching and punching, the Hayabusa FPP Straight Worm Hook is perfect for attacking fish in heavy cover. It was tested and refined to provide the ideal balance of hook gap, length of shank and wire thickness. Equipped with a sticky sharp hook point for the fast penetration you need when flipping and pitching, it also features a unique Loop Stopper bait keeper, comprised of a heavy test mono loop that is tied to the hook shank. It keeps your soft plastic from sliding down the hook shank, and still allows you to change out your bait without tearing it. The line eye is also welded shut, making the Hayabusa FPP Straight Worm Hook perfect for tying snell knot with braided line.
Hayabusa - the pride of Japan - has been manufacturing uncompromising, high quality hooks since 1958.
Comments: Love it the little keeper is amazing doesn't tear up plastics and it actually keeps the lure in place! super sharp as well! i use a lot of the 3/0 but i'm about to order all of the sizes just cause they are so great. tie it on with a snell to maximize your hookups!
From: DX: MN 9/12/14
Comments: I am positively in love with these hooks. I've been using them for about a year now for all my worms, senkos, punching, lizards..etc. Snelling them takes a bit of patience getting the wraps up the shank and over the keeper and barb, but once you do...you are "loaded for bear!" I brought in a 9.5 lbr 2 weeks ago fishing a Reins craw on a 1/0, paired with a Hayabusa finesse skirst and 1/16 sinker and felt I owed it them to write up a review.
From: Scott: San Antonio, TX 3/6/14
Comments: love these hooks just got home from winning a tournament thanks to these hooks about to order a extra pack they a super sharp and the keeper doesn't slip like the gammys and the point doesnt roll either and they go in where you hook them.

When a three-year-old little girl plans Family Night, it looks very much like this:
I was fresh out of Family Night ideas this morning, so I asked the opinion of the only other person in the house at the time. Lauryn thought a Strawberry Shortcake night was a fabulous idea. What else could I do but agree?
First up, a shopping trip was in order. We went to the grocery store that has the cute little "future shopper" carts, and I left the shopping to Lauryn. Excuse the fuzzy pictures. She was a girl on a mission and could not be bothered to slow down to pose.
After the strawberry purchases were made we were off to pick up the boys from school. There was a mild to moderate amount of eye-rolling behind Lauryn's back when she told them the Family Night theme. But to their credit, they acted thrilled with her idea and were great little encouragers. I was shocked and proud of them. No push back at all. She was so cute and excited to tell them her idea that they could hardly react otherwise.
When we got home, she talked the boys into wearing red t-shirts, and green bandannas on their heads. The complied mindlessly while watching cartoons, then promptly ripped off the bandanas when she later squealed, "Yay!! You're dressed up like strawberries!" Apparently they were willing to comply if it was merely a color theme, but not if they were supposed to actually be a strawberry.
While we waited for Dad to get home the kids each made a strawberry pillow. (I didn't intend for it to be a "pillow"...I was just planning on them making a random stuffed toy...but the kids started calling it a pillow...and each of them are sleeping with it tonight...so whatever....) For around $2 bucks total, I bought enough red, green, and black felt for them to each create a stuffed strawberry. They helped trace and cut out the shapes, glued the "seeds" on, and helped me sew the edges together on the sewing machine. Dylan and Lauryn just wanted to push the pedal, but Ryan actually sewed the material. For about 38 seconds, then he was bored.
Here's a few pics of the kids making their "pillows." In the first shot Lauryn is holding the "strawberry prototype" - - my practice round trying to figure out a pattern. Except it was made entirely with a hot glue gun. I was trying to avoid getting out the sewing machine. Because I'm lazy that way. After I burned my fingers repeatedly, I finally caved and got out the machine. (Who knew hot glue could seep through fabric? Probably everyone but me. Not kid friendly.)
Lauryn was proud to show off her "pillow" to her Daddy when he got home. I can't be certain, but I'm fairly confident that as this was taken he was thinking, "Thank you, lovely wife, that you got the crafty part of Family Night over with before I got home." You're welcome.
And yes, that thing on Lauryn's head is indeed supposed to resemble a strawberry leaf. She can be surprisingly easy to impress.
As for the rest of the night's activities, we made a "strawberry drink", which consisted of dumping frozen sliced and sugared strawberries into a pitcher of cool-aid. We ate fresh strawberries with dinner, and Blue Bell Chocolate Covered Strawberry ice cream for dessert. Yummy.
Fun night! Thanks Ms. Lauryn!
Labels: family night
This is so something I would have chosen as family night when I was younger! It may be my favorite one so far. :)
She is a good little planner!
Cute, cute, cute!!! Okay, so tell me the truth--do you personally enjoy the crafty part? Girl, I detest anything that smells of craftiness. I don't know what my problem is. A repressed elementary school memory? Don't know. By the way, we've officially decided we're starting a similar tradition in our house. I'm in charge of family fun night and Keith's in charge of a weekly devotional night. Something new we're trying around here.
"that's my friend Lauryn"...Carter
Wow, strawberry night looks awesome!
Yes, Starr, same Phillis! Can you beleive it? She is so precious. She goes to my grandma's church. I feel lucky to have her.

I'm number 501
On daveligthart.com I am now listed as #501. Soon I may break 500. I released a new version of Open-in-new-window-plugin and Stop-Spammer-Registrations-Plugin. The former has received about 1,000 downloads in a week.
I may make it into other summary pages if I drop under 500. I don't know, but a link is a link, and I always need more.
I am working on an automatic roundup page that once a month, bimonthly or biweekly lists all the posts made since the last roundup. It does this on a scheduled event so you won't have to worry about it. I am not sure how much interest there is in something like this. Content, however, is king, and a roundup is nearly new content presented differently with links.

I really hate spending money. My last polo shoes, a pair of 3 year old Mavic Alpines, were on sale on Nashbar when I bought them. I think I paid $35. It took a broken shank and not being able to clip in on the left side for a few weeks before I could talk myself into new polo shoes. I knew that I wanted something 'normal' looking, somewhat walk able, but really rigid. I'm a big guy who likes to hop a lot, so soft, flexy cycling shoes mean I'm gonna have sore feet for a while.
I decided on the DZR Mambas. There are a few reviews out there for these shoes and people seemed to be happy with them. A hundred some bucks later my shoes arrived.
I won't lie – I went into this order having a mixed feeling about DZR. I had a pair of the DZR/Mission Workshop Randals when they were first released, and to be completely frank, I hated them. They were loose fitting, with a really soft shank. You could feel the pedal all day, and after about a half hour of riding they were uncomfortable. Basically they felt like Vans Classics with a clipless pedal underneath. I ended up selling them on eBay shortly after I got them and was very happy to see them go.
Brian at DZR (of Beaverboy fame) swore up and down that the new shoes were a huge improvement over models from the past. He wears them, and so do a lot of other bigger names in our sport. I took this with a grain of salt. I used to get bmx parts on the ultra cheap, and swore they were the best, but every time I broke one, I'd just ask for a new one…so they were the best. When you're paying for something, you tend to be a bit more critical (by now, hopefully you can tell I wasn't expecting a whole lot).
So my package arrived at my door, and the first thing I noticed was that the box these shoes come in probably cost 10 bucks. It's downright beautiful for a shoe box. Cool graphics and cut outs and just awesome looking. Not the way I'd normally describe a shoe box. Anyway, box opened and there they were. I still had a cynical smirk on my face while I flipped the shoe over in my hand, scoffing at the high quality leather and stitch work. They look nice, but they're too pretty to last long or play well.
Well, the thing is, they do last. And they work wonderfully. The shank is solid, but somehow still walk-able. Hopping around against the wall or in goal feels solid on the pedal, with very little, to no noticeable flex. Connection to the pedal is firm and grounded (in this case, Time Atac). Clip in-out is easy and predictable. And the fit is glove like.
Another thing that I didn't anticipate really reaping the benefits of was the mid-top style. I caught two dead-on slap shots to the ankle the first night I had them on, and it felt a lot more like a dull thud than a 9 iron to the bone. I was glad I had them on.
So, down to brass tacks: For polo, these shoes are going to be difficult to beat. They look rad, they feel like a high end cycling shoe but walk like a semi-stiff sneaker, and are made of seriously quality materials. I'd see no issue wearing these to the bar after polo. They don't jump out and scream "look at me I'm a cyclist." They're around $130, and you can order them through the site, or hit up Brian and see what tournaments they'll be going to.
There are two downsides that I encountered, and these were eventually rectified. The first is the fit. Currently, they fit like a glove, but out of the box, they made my toes feel like they were going to fall off. Granted, they're real leather, so stretch is expected. For the first two weeks I used them only for polo because they were just too tight to do anything else. By week 3 and 4, they were loosening up and now they fit wonderfully, so stick with it. They need broken in.
The second thing was that it took a long time to get used to the pedal engagement. To DZR's compliment, the cleat is nicely recessed so there's no contact with the ground. NONE at all. However, this also means you're going to have to search for engagement a little more than, at least I, was used to. After a week or so of polo-only action, this became second nature. But the first few games were tricky.
Overall, I'd buy them again. The fit, while super snug at first, has become custom tailored over time. The play quality is high. Construction is great. Look is great. Customer service is great. Price is on point with good downhill style cycling shoes, and on the low side of good road or mountain cycling shoes, I'm just a cheap bastard.

There is a verse that i remember that talks about a father with two sons. The father gives money to both of his sons. One son invests his money and returns it to his father after becoming wealthy, or something like that, and the other son squanders it. If i remember correctly, even though the second son squandered his money the father still showed him compassion. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Luke 15:11-32
Its called the Parable of the Prodigal Son
It sounds like you are scrambling two different parables.
The one with two sons, one of which squanders his inheratence but is welcomed back is found in Luke 15:11-32
The one about a master who lends money to his servants, and some of them give him a return on his investment but one does not is found in Luke 19:11-27.
