^ Yeah, when it comes to the actual swimming part, all of those options beat board shorts.
Long enough board shorts restrict your knee movements a little, and when I'm swimming, I like to have my limbs completely unrestricted, lol.
At the beach I wear trunks, but slightly longer than their pair you're showing there. I still have a ton of speedos from swim team, but never wear them at the beach. I just wear then as underwear now and then, I guess I've developed something of a kink/fetish with them.
I desperately, though, need to catch up on way too many years of not taking advantage of nude-swim situations.
Guys definitely shouldn't wear underwear under boardshorts. It feels erotic to let your cock hang. More guys should do it. When a guy wears light colored boardshorts, very often you can see the outline of his dick pointing down his leg. I saw a guy playing frisbee at the beach in light gray boardies. Those shorts showed the world what nature gave him, and you could tell that he liked how easy it was to see his stuff flopping back and forth. His dick was about 4" limp, and it looked so hot!
^ Do most boardshorts have that light, holed lining fabric in the crotch area. Like most standard swim trunks usually have? Kind of like undies already attacked?
Or are boardies designed for full-on freeballing?
I like this guys board shorts and whats under them.

Noah, and his family and the living creatures, enter the ark, and the flood begins. (1-12) Noah shut in the ark. (13-16) The increase of the flood for forty days. (17-20) All flesh is destroyed by the flood. (21-24)
Verses 1-12 The call to Noah is very kind, like that of a tender father to his children to come in-doors when he sees night or a storm coming. Noah did not go into the ark till God bade him, though he knew it was to be his place of refuge. It is very comfortable to see God going before us in every step we take. Noah had taken a great deal of pains to build the ark, and now he was himself kept alive in it. What we do in obedience to the command of God, and in faith, we ourselves shall certainly have the comfort of, first or last. This call to Noah reminds us of the call the gospel gives to poor sinners. Christ is an ark, in whom alone we can be safe, when death and judgment approach. The word says, "Come;" ministers say, "Come;" the Spirit says, "Come, come into the Ark." Noah was accounted righteous, not for his own righteousness, but as an heir of the righteousness which is by faith, ( Hebrews 11:7 ) . He believed the revelation of a saviour, and sought and expected salvation through Him alone. Thus was he justified by faith, and received that Spirit whose fruit is in all goodness; but if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. After the hundred and twenty years, God granted seven days' longer space for repentance. But these seven days were trifled away, like all the rest. It shall be but seven days. They had only one week more, one sabbath more to improve, and to consider the things that belonged to their peace. But it is common for those who have been careless of their souls during the years of their health, when they have looked upon death at a distance, to be as careless during the days, the few days of their sickness, when they see death approaching; their hearts being hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. As Noah prepared the ark by faith in the warning given that the flood would come, so he went into it, by faith in this warning that it would come quickly. And on the day Noah was securely fixed in the ark, the fountains of the great deep were broken up. The earth had within it those waters, which, at God's command, sprang up and flooded it; and thus our bodies have in themselves those humours, which, when God pleases, become the seeds and springs of mortal diseases. The windows of heaven were opened, and the waters which were above the firmament, that is, in the air, were poured out upon the earth. The rain comes down in drops; but such rains fell then, as were never known before or since. It rained without stop or abatement, forty days and forty nights, upon the whole earth at once. As there was a peculiar exercise of the almighty power of God in causing the flood, it is vain and presumptuous to attempt explaining the method of it, by human wisdom.
Verses 13-16 The ravenous creatures were made mild and manageable; yet, when this occasion was over, they were of the same kind as before; for the ark did not alter their natures. Hypocrites in the church, who outwardly conform to the laws of that ark, are yet unchanged; and it will appear, one time or other, what kind they are after. God continued his care of Noah. God shut the door, to secure him and keep him safe in the ark; also to keep all others for ever out. In what manner this was done, God has not been pleased to make known. There is much of our gospel duty and privilege to be seen in Noah's safety in the ark. The ( 1 Peter. 3:20 1 Peter. 3:21 ) Observe then, it is our great duty, in obedience to the gospel call, by a lively faith in Christ, to come into that way of salvation which God has provided for poor sinners. Those that come into the ark, should bring as many as they can with them, by good instructions, by persuasions, and by good examples. There is room enough in Christ for all comers. God put Adam into paradise, but did not shut him in, so he threw himself out; but when God put Noah into the ark, and so when he brings a soul to Christ, the salvation is sure: it is not in our own keeping, but in the Mediator's hand. But the door of mercy will shortly be shut against those that now make light of it. Knock now, and it shall be opened, ( Luke 13:25 ) .
Verses 17-20 The flood was increasing forty days. The waters rose so high, that the tops of the highest mountains were overflowed more than twenty feet. There is no place on earth so high as to set men out of the reach of God's judgments. God's hand will find out all his enemies, ( Psalms 21:8 ) . When the flood thus increased, Noah's ark was lifted up, and the waters which broke down every thing else, bore up the ark. That which to unbelievers betokens death unto death, to the faithful betokens life unto life.
Verses 21-24 All the men, women, and children, that were in the world, excepting those in the ark, died. We may easily imagine what terror seized them. Our Saviour tells us, that till the very day that the flood came, they were eating and drinking, Lu. 17:26, Lu. 17:27 ; they were deaf and blind to all Divine warnings. In this posture death surprised them. They were convinced of their folly when it was too late. We may suppose they tried all ways and means possible to save themselves, but all in vain. And those that are not found in Christ, the Ark, are certainly undone, undone for ever. Let us pause, and consider this tremendous judgment! Who can stand before the Lord when he is angry? The sin of sinners will be their ruin, first or last, if not repented of. The righteous God knows how to bring ruin upon ( 2 Peter. 2:5 ) day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men! Happy they who are part of Christ's family, and safe with him as such; they may look forward without dismay, and rejoice that they shall triumph, when fire shall burn up the earth, and all that therein is. We are apt to suppose some favourable distinctions in our own case or character; but if we neglect, refuse, or abuse the salvation of Christ, we shall, notwithstanding such fancied advantages, be destroyed in the common ruin of an unbelieving world.
Genesis 7:1-24 . ENTRANCE INTO THE ARK.
1. And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark--The ark was finished; and Noah now, in the spirit of implicit faith, which had influenced his whole conduct, waited for directions from God.
2,3. Of every clean beast . . . fowls--Pairs of every species of animals, except the tenants of the deep, were to be taken for the preservation of their respective kinds. This was the general rule of admission, only with regard to those animals which are styled "clean," three pairs were to be taken, whether of beasts or birds; and the reason was that their rapid multiplication was a matter of the highest importance, when the earth should be renovated, for their utility either as articles of food or as employed in the service of man. But what was the use of the seventh? It was manifestly reserved for sacrifice; and so that both during Noah's residence in the ark, and after his return to dry land, provision was made for celebrating the rites of worship according to the religion of fallen man. He did not, like many, leave religion behind. He provided for it during his protracted voyage.
4. For yet seven days--A week for a world to repent! What a solemn pause! Did they laugh and ridicule his folly still? He whose eyes saw and whose heart felt the full amount of human iniquity and perverseness has told us of their reckless disregard ( Luke 17:27 ).
9. There went in two and two--Doubtless they were led by a divine impulse. The number would not be so large as at first sight one is apt to imagine. It has been calculated that there are not more than three hundred distinct species of beasts and birds, the immense varieties in regard to form, size, and color being traceable to the influence of climate and other circumstances.
16. and the Lord shut him in--literally, "covered him round about." The "shutting him in" intimated that Noah had become the special object of divine care and protection, and that to those without the season of grace was over ( Matthew 25:10 ).
17. the waters increased, and bare up the ark--It seems to have been raised so gradually as to be scarcely perceptible to its occupants.
20. Fifteen cubits upward . . . and the mountains were covered--twenty-two and a half feet above the summits of the highest hills. The language is not consistent with the theory of a partial deluge.
21. all flesh died . . . fowl . . . cattle, and . . . creeping thing--It has been a uniform principle in the divine procedure, when judgments were abroad on the earth, to include every thing connected with the sinful objects of His wrath ( Genesis 19:25 , Exodus 9:6 ). Besides, now that the human race was reduced to one single family, it was necessary that the beasts should be proportionally diminished, otherwise by their numbers they would have acquired the ascendancy and overmastered the few that were to repeople the world. Thus goodness was mingled with severity; the Lord exercises judgment in wisdom and in wrath remembers mercy.
24. an hundred and fifty days--a period of five months. Though long before that every living creature must have been drowned, such a lengthened continuance of the flood was designed to manifest God's stern displeasure at sin and sinners. Think of Noah during such a crisis. We learn ( Ezekiel 14:14 ) that he was a man who lived and breathed habitually in an atmosphere of devotion; and having in the exercise of this high-toned faith made God his refuge, he did not fear "though the waters roared and were troubled; though the mountains shook with the swelling thereof" [ Psalms 46:3 ].

Steven J. Brams uses the Cuban missile crisis to illustrate the Theory of Moves, which is not just an abstract mathematical model but one that mirrors the real-life choices, and underlying thinking, of flesh-and-blood decision makers.
Last October, two mathematicians won £1m when it was revealed that they were the first to solve the Eternity jigsaw puzzle. It had taken them six months and a generous helping of mathematical analysis. Mark Wainwright meets the pair and finds out how they did it.
Arguably, the exponential function crops up more than any other when using mathematics to describe the physical world. In the first of two articles on physical phenomena which obey exponential laws, Ian Garbett discusses light attenuation - the way in which light decreases in intensity as it passes through a medium.
Why can't human beings walk as fast as they run? And why do we prefer to break into a run rather than walk above a certain speed? Using mathematical modelling, R. McNeill Alexander finds some answers.
During World Mathematical Year 2000 a sequence of posters were displayed month by month in the trains of the London Underground aiming to stimulate, fascinate - even infuriate passengers! Keith Moffatt tells us about three of the posters from the series.

Cartas Del PresidioEarly in Ann Louise Bardach's Cuban voyage she came across Cartas de Presidio or The Prison Letters of Fidel Castro. Edited by Luis Conte Aguero, who was the recipient of most of these letters, they are cited in every important work from Hugh Thomas' opus Cuba to Tad Szulc's Fidel biography, and everything in between and since. These twenty-one letters (nine to Conte Aguero, six to his late sister and close collaborator, Lidia, one to his wife Mirta, one to his comrade in combat, Melba Hernandez letters, one to the great scholar Jorge Manach) are regarded as the single most valuable and revelatory document regarding Fidel Castro and the Cuban Revolution. Never before published in English, these letters were written when Castro was imprisoned for his failed attack on the Moncada from 1953 to 1955 and reveal a man of spectacular ambition and steely determination. A man, who despite being incarcerated to serve a lengthy prison term, never wavers in his confidence that he will one day rule Cuba. |

This challenge is open to any member of the forum whether they plan on coming to retreat or not. There is a maximum of 30 participants. Send me an email if you wish to participate with your real name, forum name and address. [I'm washing fabric now and will mail it out as soon as possible.] Here are the guidelines: Make an original 18" x 18" wall hanging/quilt. It may be a traditional quilt or an art quilt, whatever you prefer. Use a portion (or all) of the 10" sq. of fabric furnished to you. The Windmill 2 block (link below) must be in your quilt. It can be tiny or the entire quilt. Your quilt should have a sleeve on the back for hanging. And should be a 'complete' quilt with 3 layers, quilting (of some sort) and binding. Finished quilts are due by July 31, 2013 and mailed to Jennifer or Beverly (email for address if you need it.) [That gives you 6 months!!] The plan is to hang the quilts at the quilt retreat in September where they will be voted on by unbiased viewers. A prize will be awarded for 1st & 2nd place. |

Hi Jennifer, This is a great idea, but I don't think I'll be taking part as I just don't want to add another thing to my quilting to-do list. The fabric looks beautiful. I'm just curious. What happens to the hangings after the retreat or are they to be left hanging there? Linda |

I'd love to join. Everything I have to accomplish will be done way before that. The fabric is beautiful. (Would you believe I actually thought you meant a real windmill. I thought to myself, I don't think that fabric really goes with a Dutch theme. You can tell I still don't know that much about quilting. LOL) |

[I have a few ideas in my head, just not sure which one to go with. Remember, the one I tried with my guild's challenge ended up as a potholder! lol] Jen |
Jennifer, I just want to be sure I understand this correctly. The Windmill block can be any size correct? Not just the measurments that are in the pattern. Another thought, do the sides of the 18" block have to be straight or can it have curves or scollops? |

Jayne, The Windmill block can be any size, as long as it's apparent on the front of the quilt. I have no problem if the edges are not straight, as long as the 'body' of the quilt is 18" (meaning the scallop extends beyond this measurement) jennifer |
I am in. Sent you an email. Love that fabric. |
Thank you. That sounds good. |

fabric is going in the mail tomorrow to these 15 people! If you don't get it, let me know... Also, there's still room for more to do the challenge! If you want to give it a try, just let me know. Jennifer |

Looks ike fun... I don't want to particpate in anything like this until I get a little more exprienced/skilled, but I may make the block myself just to see if I can do it :o) Good luck everyone. What's the prize going to be? |
- Posted by jennifer_in_va (My Page) on Sun, Feb 10, 13 at 23:41
vacuumfreak~ It's really not about experience or skill. It's more about creativity and having fun. ANything goes with this challenge! Could be something you've never done before, or simple construction with fun colors. Don't know yet about the prize! Have plenty of time to think on it, though! |
- Posted by vasu_texas (My Page) on Mon, Feb 11, 13 at 9:16
Jennifer, I would like to join in the challenge too if you have room. Vasu |
- Posted by jennifer_in_va (My Page) on Mon, Feb 11, 13 at 9:32
Sure, Vasu! yours is going in the mail with the rest, today. |
Jennifer, So you know the fabric arrieved today. Very pretty. One more qustion: The windmill 2 block is shown using 3 fabrics. My question is that the way it needs to be or could I use 4 etc. I have a few ideas but want to keep within the guide lines. |
- Posted by jennifer_in_va (My Page) on Thu, Feb 14, 13 at 15:41
The windmill block can be any combination of colors... Have fun designing! |
- Posted by quiltpartner (My Page) on Thu, Feb 14, 13 at 22:26
Jen, Just popped in after a long time away. If you still have room, I'm in. I could use a good & fun! excuse for a much-needed kick start for my brain!! ~Cindy |
Received my fabric today. It's beautiful. Now whether to try really ambitious or play it safe.....hmmmmmm. |
- Posted by lafonda_ranch (My Page) on Fri, Feb 15, 13 at 9:08
Got my fabric yesterday and I think I know what I'm going to do!! I love this stage of making a quilt!! Great inspiration fabric... Robbi |
My fabric arrived yesterday and it is even prettier than it's picture. The colors are so rich. This is going to be fun. beverly |
- Posted by sandlapper_rose (My Page) on Fri, Feb 15, 13 at 15:05
I want to sign up if there is still room. I'll e-mail my information to you, Jennifer. |
My fabric came yesterday. Thanks for getting this whole thing up and running! LindaB/CA |
Whooo Hooo. Fabric arrived in Canada. Thinking cap in place. :) Faye |
Been having fun with this. Hope it will fits the guidelines. Top is almost finished. Then to sandwiching and quilting then.............................what will I do?? |
- Posted by vanislegirl88 (My Page) on Sat, Feb 23, 13 at 15:33
If Linda and Faye got theirs then I should be getting mine soon. Can't wait...been watching the mail every day. |
I have my fabric and am having fun today going thru my stash and sketching ideas. I'm glad I made some minis for the guild or I would be lost making something this small. What a great challenge! |
- Posted by lafonda_ranch (My Page) on Mon, Feb 25, 13 at 9:27
I have mine started!! I took the inspiration fabric to the quilt store to get more coordinating fabric (can't have too much, right!?), and the ladies there all oh'd and aw'd over the inspiration piece! I just hope my "vision" turn out like it is in my head. Robbi |
- Posted by vanislegirl88 (My Page) on Wed, Feb 27, 13 at 11:46
Still waiting for mine to arrive.... :-( |
- Posted by jennifer_in_va (My Page) on Wed, Feb 27, 13 at 12:22
you should get it any day now....it went in the mail on Monday! |
- Posted by vanislegirl88 (My Page) on Wed, Feb 27, 13 at 14:57
Yup...just arrived in today's mail...Yeah, can't wait to get started. Now that I've seen the fabric, I know exactly what I'm going to do...:-) |
I am going to put the binding on tomorrow............then comes the challenge of how it will be hung....... |
- Posted by quiltpartner (My Page) on Fri, Mar 1, 13 at 18:35
My fabric arrived yesterday - & I spent half the afternoon pulling possible coordinates from my stash. Not yet sure what I'm doing, but some ideas are beginning to form... ~Cindy |
It is done!!This has been fun. I can't wait to see how others interpret the quest. Will we be showing them here or will that only be at the retreat?? |
- Posted by jennifer_in_va (My Page) on Sat, Mar 2, 13 at 18:19
Wow! That's great, Jayne! We can't post pictures until Retreat, because we don't want to share what we've done with those that haven't started yet! (Me, for one). When you've finished, do this for me: At retreat, we will be sure to post photos (or have you post your own) so everyone can see them all up close and together. Also, please be sure to label your quilt!! We want to be able to get it returned to you!!! I sure can't wait to see what you've all done!! jen |
- Posted by jennifer_in_va (My Page) on Tue, Mar 5, 13 at 14:31
Faytay (Wendy Faye) has offered to collect the completed challenge quilts from her fellow Canadiennes, if they are not travelling to retreat themselves. Hopefully, by mailing within the country, there won't be delays. She's plannning on travelling to retreat (YEAH!) and will safely carry everone's quilts. Email her direclty for mailing address when you're ready to mail it and she'll take good care of your quilt! Thanks, Wendy Faye! |
No problem, eh. ;) |
How is everyone doing on the challenge? It took me a while to finalize my design and I've been cutting and modifying and working on my layout ever since. Over the past week I've taken digital pictures, rearranged pieces and taken more pictures. I finally thought I was set to start sewing last night when I had a brain cramp and all of the sudden I thought I had mis-calculated and my quilt was going to turn out to be several inches too big. I immediately began looking at my design trying to figure out how to take several inches out without compromising my design. I took a break and returned and realized that my math was right the first time. phew! Now you may be asking yourself, how can someone who is trying to construct an 18"x18" quilt be off by 4-5 inches? Believe me, I found a way to almost do just that! LOL |
- Posted by toolgranny (My Page) on Wed, Apr 17, 13 at 13:39
I've had the top done for over a month and am still staring at it trying to work out the FMQ in my head. Once that is decided, it's easy. But, that's often the hardest part for a quilt, isn't it. |
Glad someone brought this up! Life got in the way and I forgot all about it. LindaB/CA |
- Posted by vanislegirl88 (My Page) on Fri, Apr 19, 13 at 10:36
Faytay, I sent you an email asking for your address to send my challenge quilt to. Still waiting for a reply. Kristy |
Oh, sorry Kristy, your email went into my spam folder and I missed it. I can't reply tho, cause your email is blocked. This is the message I got. (PLEASE NOTE: The member responding to your post has chosen not to reveal his or her email address. Therefore, you cannot reply to this message via email.) I'll try to send you one directly. Faye |
- Posted by vanislegirl88 (My Page) on Fri, Apr 19, 13 at 21:11
Sorry Faye, I suspected that it probably went to your spam. They must have made some upgrades or changes here and I had to go into my profile and check the box to allow emails. It's done now, so you should be able to send one. Thanks, |
Sent. Let me know if you got it. Faye |
- Posted by vanislegirl88 (My Page) on Sun, Apr 21, 13 at 12:57
Thanks Faye, Haven't received it yet, but I'm watching for it. Checked junk mail and it's not there either. |
OK, I just resent another email. This time I'm seeing your email address tho, and I don't recall it showing before. If you don't get this one, try sending me another. I did get yours, I just could not reply to it. If you changed your settings I may be able to reply now. Nothing is ever as simple as it sounds, is it?? Faye |
- Posted by vanislegirl88 (My Page) on Mon, Apr 22, 13 at 11:08
Faye, For some reason, I am not receiving your emails. Try sending directly to me at email@example.com |
OK, you should have it now.... |
- Posted by jennifer_in_va (My Page) on Tue, Apr 23, 13 at 8:53
If you still have problems, I'd be happy to be the middle-man on emails... No explanation why you can't see each other's emails, but at least we could reach a solution! |
- Posted by vanislegirl88 (My Page) on Tue, Apr 23, 13 at 16:52
Finally got it. Thanks for theyour patience...LOL...don't know why it wouldn't work through garden web though.... |
Working on mine and having fun with it, although it really has turned out to be a challenge. I can see what I want to do, but can't seem to make it look the way I want. |
I've gotten as far as 'a plan'. :) |
- Posted by littlehelen (My Page) on Fri, May 3, 13 at 10:14
Faytay...thank you...it's nice to know I'm not alone! V. |
Me, too. I have my plan. beverly |
Bumping this back to the top! |
I have a sort of plan. Nice to know I am not alone. I work better under pressure, |
- Posted by bozogardener (My Page) on Sun, May 26, 13 at 18:18
I've discarded my first plan, and on to the second... |
- Posted by teresa_nc7 (My Page) on Mon, May 27, 13 at 21:23
I've made my block and know what I want to do with the challenge fabric. Also know the new technique I want to try - so you could say I have a plan! Teresa |
Oh, man. I have changed my design 3 times this week. Gotta quit looking ad patterns. beverly |
- Posted by quiltpartner (My Page) on Sun, Jun 2, 13 at 21:39
Enjoyed reading & catching up w/everyone's progress. This challenge is becoming part of my determination to get better! Just scheduled another surgery for July 5 --- so have to get cracking NOW! The ideas have been forming then disappearing ;(. Hmmm... Now back to topics to check on what y'all have been up to all spring - Cindy |
- Posted by bozogardener (My Page) on Mon, Jun 3, 13 at 10:34
Discarded my second plan, on to the third...If this one doesn't work I may have to be done. This might work, though. |
I finished my top a few weeks ago. Now I have to decide how to quilt it. I think simple might look better, but it's such a small piece, and so much easier to quilt than a large quilt that I just might not be able to help myself - I may have to try something too complicated! LOL |
Confession time. I haven't done anything with this project yet. Yikes. Where does the time go? This week I'm in Pasadena, CA with DD so won't be able to do anything until I'm home on Friday. However, I'll start mentally planning now. July 31st will be here before we know it. |
- Posted by jennifer_in_va (My Page) on Mon, Jun 3, 13 at 16:25
I guess I had stated that these needed to be done by July 31st and mailed... should review my own information, I guess... I really see no reason to do this...If you are coming to Retreat, bring your finished quilt with you; if you aren't, be sure to mail it to someone in time for their travel to retreat. Oh, and Bev~ I've done nothing with mine yet either! so don't feel so bad... this was all my idea, and I've still not started. Can't get worse than that. |
- Posted by vanislegirl88 (My Page) on Thu, Jun 6, 13 at 17:31
Hmmm...so how strict is the 18" x 18"?....is this exact or is there some give or take? |
- Posted by jennifer_in_va (My Page) on Thu, Jun 6, 13 at 17:57
There's definitely give and take. I'm not the quilt police! lol We don't want one to be 24x24, and the rest 18x18, but there's a little fudge space. |
- Posted by lafonda_ranch (My Page) on Fri, Jun 7, 13 at 11:43
I love the updated info and the extra time. I'm definitely planning on coming to the retreat, so the extra month is welcomed!! And mine may be a few inches bigger by the time I get the border and binding on, so that is good, too. Looking forward to the retreat!! Robbi |
I can go over 18"?!? More beads!!!! |
- Posted by jennifer_in_va (My Page) on Fri, Jun 7, 13 at 13:40
Now, Kate. Don't get too carried away!!! "Slightly" over 18" is one thing...."Way" over is out of control!!! |
- Posted by jackier123 (My Page) on Fri, Jun 14, 13 at 13:59
Jennifer, What size sleeve should we put on the back? Jackie |
- Posted by jennifer_in_va (My Page) on Sat, Jun 15, 13 at 14:14
Let's say 3". I'm not entirely sure how we're going to hang them yet, but that should give us some flexibility. |
- Posted by teresa_nc7 (My Page) on Sun, Jun 16, 13 at 9:17
Jen, what about a clothesline hung out on the porch, maybe on the front porch to separate them from our "quilt show" on the side? We could either thread them on the rope line or use clothes pins to hang them on the line. Teresa |
- Posted by jennifer_in_va (My Page) on Sun, Jun 16, 13 at 10:39
Teresa, That's definitely an idea to give consideration! Thanks. I've been giving thought to where to display them. I thought it would be fun to have the other Y campers do the voting, in which case, setting it up at the dining hall might be more convenient. But then we could also pass out voting 'tickets' and have them drop by Sloan to vote. Thanks for the idea... |
I think that's a great idea. Maybe get them to announce what we are doing early in the weekend and then after supper Sat get them to vote. That would give them time to look. Speaking of this... I've trashed my first attempt. :( Came out very muddy. I guess that's the downfall of doing scrappy when your favorite is earthtones. But I have a new plan. :) Faye |
- Posted by jackier123 (My Page) on Sun, Jun 16, 13 at 13:51
I can get Tim to build us a "structure" so we can put them on the porch, in the room, and move it to the dining hall for display and voting by the campers. I'm working on my 3rd design and really like this one. Gonna make a "sample" with other fabrics to make sure it will work before cutting into my square. beverly |
Jackie...great teaser, now I'm even more intimidated. ;-) LindaB/CA |
- Posted by toolgranny (My Page) on Sun, Jun 16, 13 at 19:09
No fair, Jackie. Now I will have to go back and make a fancier one. It's obvious plain just isn't going to do! And, Robbi is embellishing! |
Oh my! I was feeling pretty good about mine but after Jackie's gorgeous teaser I'm thinking of starting over! I'm pretty sure I have 1 inch left of the fabric. |
- Posted by jackier123 (My Page) on Sun, Jun 16, 13 at 19:54
That one spot I took a photo of is the best part, so don't be afraid of mine. :) Besides, if the kids are judging, you could probably put a hamburger on a quilt and they would be happy! Jackie |
- Posted by littlehelen (email@example.com) on Sun, Jun 16, 13 at 20:16
Now I'm really intimidated...Jackie's teaser is gorgeous, Kate is adding beads, Robbi is embellishing.. Linda is done and ....I'm on my 4th design..omg omg... the stress !@#$%^ :-) lol V. |
- Posted by jennifer_in_va (My Page) on Sun, Jun 16, 13 at 21:11
Well, consider yourselves in good shape!! Your coordinator of this challenge hasn't even begun to work on hers!! She still has her original idea in her head, and if it doesn't work out, then it may end up being a potholder like the last challenge she did! I will say this... You are all having way more fun & interacting more than anyone in my guild did when this challenge was put before them last year. And really, you should be more upset that Nanajayne had hers done about 3 months ago!!! And, it's hanging in my sewing room!!! Baaahhhaaaww I know what it looks like! Nanny nanny boo boo. |
- Posted by toolgranny (My Page) on Sun, Jun 16, 13 at 21:28
At least I know a store that has this yardage on their shelf. I can buy more! |
LOL. I got it done so I could drop it off and have a chat. Those on FB could have a peek but that wouldn't be fair. |
- Posted by lafonda_ranch (My Page) on Tue, Jun 18, 13 at 16:27
Yeah, but I'm still no where being done!! I haven't even started any embellishing. I hope to just have mine done. Love the teaser, Jackie!! I'm looking forward to seeing the rest. Robbi |
Yah, but Jen you can whip yours together, quilt it and add the sleeve, all while waiting for your tea to steep.... ;) |
- Posted by jennifer_in_va (My Page) on Tue, Jun 18, 13 at 19:20
Thanks for your vote of confidence. But keep in mind the last time I did this challenge, my 'quilt' ended up as an ugly potholder! |
- Posted by vanislegirl88 (My Page) on Thu, Jul 4, 13 at 17:40
Oh My...here it is July already. I'm done...just need to put a sleeve on it and get it into the mail....yikes. Time has gotten away from me. |
- Posted by jennifer_in_va (My Page) on Thu, Jul 4, 13 at 17:44
Aaaack!! I haven't even started mine yet! Guess I should have put this on my July To-Do list! |
- Posted by jackier123 (My Page) on Thu, Jul 4, 13 at 18:20
Mine is done all except the sleeve. I figure I have until retreat to do that. Jackie |
This post was edited by jackier123 on Thu, Jul 4, 13 at 18:21
I hate to confess, but I haven't even started. I usually accomplish what I set out to do....eventually. However, I don't want to make this eventually....I want to make it on time. Monday morning I will get cutting and see what happens. I never thought I would win anyway, with all you very experienced quilters. I am just doing it for the fun. LOL |
- Posted by jennifer_in_va (My Page) on Sat, Jul 6, 13 at 22:11
Bev, Don't panic! It's all just for fun! To explore those creative juices! Btw, it was all my idea, and I haven't started either! |
- Posted by vanislegirl88 (My Page) on Sun, Jul 7, 13 at 22:06
LOL...yes, it better just be for fun or I'd be pretty embarrassed with what I made. DH likes it but I think it looks like an eight year old did it!! I did have some fun with it and tried some different things that I don't normally do. |
Yes! Just for fun! I was laughing about this last week because I showed my challenge project to 2 friends. One was obviously unimpressed and pointed out that I usually use more color in my quilts. I swear she almost fell asleep looking at it. That left me thinking I should completely start over because the stupid thing is BORING! Then 2 days later the other friend said "Wow! You use such interesting colors!" Wha....??? So, it's not boring it's... GAUDY? LOL - I think the boring comment was closer to the truth in this case, but it is what it is, somewhere between boring and gaudy depending on your taste and perspective. I had fun trying something new with the quilting so I've decided I'm going to be happy with it. It's not getting re-done. Kate |
- Posted by toolgranny (My Page) on Mon, Jul 8, 13 at 18:05
Didn't you know we are going to vote on most boring and most gaudy as well? I have been counting on that. |
Woo HOO! |

Well I finally did the top of the challenge quilt ...it's a start...the long 4th of July weekend felt like my challenge quilt marathon, but I will be done by the time the retreat rolls around, just need another long weekend of sewing! V. |
This post was edited by littlehelen on Tue, Jul 9, 13 at 20:02
Ok, whew, just designed it. To the quilt shop tomorrow. I'm using several fabrics from my stash, but still need some for the windmill block. I'm going away for the weekend and having a bunch of company next Saturday and Sunday. If I get this done, it will be by the skin of my teeth. I really wish I didn't need the adrenaline rush to get me going. Hope I can sleep now. LOL |
Hoping for a miracle. Haven't even finalized the design and don't know how to scale down the block, but I'm going to try. Please send the information on the date and address to mail to. LindaB/CA |
- Posted by jennifer_in_va (My Page) on Fri, Jul 12, 13 at 14:41
Finally got to working on mine. Didn't go with design #1 which I'd had all along. Went with something entirely different. Have the top done, just need to figure out how I'm going to quilt it. Linda, you have some time still. If you need help scaling down the block, let us know what size you'd like it to be, and we'll try to help. We have quite a few good with numbers here! |
Thanks for the offer. I spent the whole day "almost" succeeding on one part, but back to the drawing board. Not sure yet if I want to size the wind mill 2 block to 3 inches or 4. Is there a formula. It's the triangles that always trip me up. At least those are 1/2 square. LindaB/CA |
Kristy, package arrived yesterday. I had it half opened (I was VERY excited, I NEVER get packages) and then realized what it was, so I didn't open it completely. Now I gotta get mine done.... |
- Posted by vanislegirl88 (My Page) on Wed, Jul 17, 13 at 10:38

I'll be so excited to see the pictures! Jen, I hope you got my e-mail. I was in the hospital about a month ago and still awaiting surgery so I haven't made mine and not too sure I will make it to camp either, but if I don't I sure will miss all of you and I'll be following along from at home. Jeanne |
Has the official retreat signup happened yet? |
Oh Jeanne, I hope we'll see you there! Be well! |
- Posted by jennifer_in_va (My Page) on Sat, Jul 20, 13 at 18:14
Jeanne, Sorry I haven't responded to your email...this week has been BUSY! I'm sorry to hear of your health issues, and that you might not make retreat. Take care of yourself, and we'll save you a seat next year! Faye~ I expect to put something out late next week for 'official' retreat signups...keep an eye open! |
Yet another head banging day working on the "CHALLENGE". I capitalized it because it sure is! Nearing the end of the quilt top itself, but it doesn't even vaguely resemble what I thought I was going to do. At one point today I felt like I was doing a jigsaw puzzle with a sledge hammer! Here's hoping there are no major snafus from now on. For a minute there I almost forgot to add the challenge fabric. Quilting this should add a whole new level of stress ;-) LindaB/CA |
- Posted by littlehelen (email@example.com) on Sun, Jul 21, 13 at 17:04
Dear quiltnhen, I so enjoyed your post...you expressed my sentiments exactly! You are not alone... :-) V. |
- Posted by jennifer_in_va (My Page) on Sun, Jul 21, 13 at 20:24
Linda, I'm sorry you've been 'head banging' :*( It was suppose to challenge everyone, to force everyone to think outside their comfort zone. It wasn't intended to cause undue stress. I'm sure what you accomplish will be beautiful! And I can't wait to see it! |
Jennifer, Thanks for the help on sizing the block. I tried for a while to work out a smaller version and then decided I'd work with what you sent. It worked out fine. Valarie, Good to know I'm not alone :-) LindaB/CA |
- Posted by teresa_nc7 (My Page) on Mon, Jul 22, 13 at 8:16
A quilting buddy helped me by resizing the block. We all agreed I probably never would have been able to do the math. :o( Teresa |
My quilt top ended up a tad too large. I made the actual quilt almost 18X18 and then it "had to have" borders to look finished ;-( It will be about 21X21 once I bind it. If it's ok to send it just for viewing, since it doesn't fit the rules, I will. It's been a good learning experience for me though. Gotta quilt it now. Maybe that will shrink it a tad! |
Unfortunately, I did not complete (or should I say begin) the challenge. I'm sorry to let everyone down. I have spent every free moment in the garden and entertaining. I figure if I am going to do all this gardening, I need to share it. I had two groups over last weekend and I had send out a mass invitation to the garden, so I was busy giving garden tours as well. Tomorrow night and Saturday I have two more groups coming and then I think I am done. The moral of the story for me is, don't plan on quilting much in the summer. I can't wait to see what you ladies have created! I hope you have a wonderful time at retreat. |
- Posted by jennifer_in_va (My Page) on Mon, Jul 29, 13 at 20:25
Linda, you're just fine! I'm not a stickler a for rules (except for my kids lol)! Send it along and it will hang with the rest! |
bev2009 Pictures! Pictures! Jennifer, Will do! |
I hadn't been able to sew due to the heat. I am working on mine this week. Colleen |
- Posted by teresa_nc7 (My Page) on Tue, Jul 30, 13 at 9:17
The top of my challenge is done! Now to layer it and quilt it - which I plan to do sparingly. I thought I might try out my machine's "tie" stitch. Mine turned out "close" to the right dimensions. Close counts......right? Teresa |
With luck my entry will be in the mail this week! Bit of a disaster trying to quilt through the ironed on parts :-( My Babylock Jane refused! My Pfaff tried valiantly, but still skipped and sputtered. Now binding, sleeve and mailing. Onward! ever onward! LindaB/CA |

- Posted by lafonda_ranch (My Page) on Thu, Aug 8, 13 at 19:52
I finally got my top done and have it sandwiched. I'm not good at the quilting part, so I'm a little nervous about that. It is supposed to rain all weekend, so I hope to get it quilted? Lots on the sewing list to do before the retreat. Robbi |
- Posted by geezerfolks (My Page) on Sat, Aug 10, 13 at 10:20
LindaB, I'm betting your quilt is closer to size than you think if you lowered those feed dogs and did a ton of quilting on it. LOL Bev2009, Hope you've been able to finish the Group Challenge. I don't suppose a collage of your garden bounty with the challenge fabric dropped in there somewhere would work, eh? Would be a bit difficult to put a sleeve on it and hang from the clothesline...talk about thinking outside the box.....well......

Prairie Ridge Field Usage
Created on Thursday, 26 July 2012 10:56
The city of Ankeny has requested some assistance while using the fields for camps and trainings over the next few weeks. With the excessive heat and limited amount of water that the fields are getting, there is an increased risk of damage both immediate and long term. The city is asking that you please be cognizant of this situation and smart about your field usage.
Some requests and recommendations:
-AVOID USING FIELD #35 until otherwise noted
-Use Different Field spaces often-
-each training/camp go to a different field space
-each segment of your training is somewhere different to not beat down the same space
-be repetitious movements being moved to different locations (moves, dynamic warm-up, footwork)
-use a different space for warm-up than for game-play
Thanks, your assistance with this matter will help the fields stay nice and be able to "spring back" quicker once the drought is done and we get back to normal temperatures.
Again, please stay off field 35 until otherwise notified.

"And that may be part of our problem, because a lot of stories (quoted) lawyers and critics saying, 'We have to know who it is.' They were not able to deal with 'we don't know' as an answer. But that may be the honest answer. We may have to work with the feds and the states to live with some degree of uncertainty. We've got a challenge."
"We're letting plaintiffs' attorneys run public perception, there's no question about it," Stenzel said.
Bruce Knobeloch, senior vice president of business development for Azzule Systems, said the food safety and immigration issues are linked by the public's perception, or lack of perception, of agriculture.
"There are 300 million people in the U.S.," Knobeloch said. "There might be 2 million who have a clue about agriculture. Somehow our industry has to figure out a way. Maybe it's social media or bringing in some expertise to drive that message to the public so they have a better understanding of fresh produce, how it's grown and handled. We can do outreach and small things, but we have to think bold and think impact."
While Congress is on recess in August, Stenzel told Salinas Valley grower-shippers, agriculture is on the cusp of victory or defeat on immigration legislation.
With some California congressmen already backing bills, he suggested members contact opponents such as House majority whip Kevin McCarthy, a Bakersfield Republican.
"Tell him how important immigration reform is," Stenzel said. "If he started getting calls from Salinas, maybe he'd take note." United Fresh is encouraging members and businesses in other industries to raise the topic as well at Republican congressmen's town halls.
Chances of success are 50%, Stenzel said. Agriculture has already supported the Senate's broad bill. The House, Stenzel said, could pass separate bills on border security, guest workers and the status of children of migrant laborers. If enough are passed, there could be a conference committee compromise between House and Senate.
"We started out six months ago telling House members, 'Here's what we want, this is what the content should be in the bill,'" he said. "I don't even say that anymore. I say, 'Pass anything you damn well please. Pass a bill.' Because if they don't pass anything, we'll never have a chance to get to a final comprehensive immigration bill. Keep up the pressure."

Comments about THE NORTH FACE M's Paramount Peak II Convertible Pants:
I bought these pants for my husband. At first, he wasn't sure if he would like them because they're slightly different in look and fit from a pair he already has. He took them with him on a long weekend and came back saying these quickly became his favorite pants ever! The way they are made is flattering as well and he can put these on for just about any event...whether he's going to church or out hiking. This product is awesome!

The Support Services Department regroups UNITAR common services to support the core activities of UNITAR worldwide.
Administration and Finance
The Administration and Finance Section of the Support Services Department is responsible for providing financial services, budget preparation, procurement, travel arrangements, property control, and general administration. We offer services, advice and guidance to the programmes, sections and offices within the Institute.
Human Resources
The Human Resources Section of UNITAR was established in May 2007 and has a clear mandate within the on-going reform process, namely, participate in the strengthening and rationalization of UNITAR organizational structure through coherent and transparent management of personnel. Established policies and practices remain flexible, responding and adapting to the changing characteristics of the Institute's activities, work environment, and people, to meet the challenges of the future. The philosophy of the Human Resources Management at UNITAR is grounded in the principles of ethics, fairness, transparency and accountability aiming to retain multi-skilled, versatile and mobile staff, with the highest standards of efficiency, competence and integrity.
The HR function has undergone tremendous change over the last years. Large organizations used to look to the "Personnel Department," mostly to manage the paperwork around hiring and paying people. Nowadays, organizations consider the "HR Department" as playing a major role in staffing, training and helping to manage people so that the personnel and the organization are performing at maximum capability in a highly fulfilling manner.

Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

"The community of Scott is a nice community. They are operating expenditures properly and efficiently. It is our job to adhere to the needs of our municipalities but Scott does not call upon the assistance of the county often. This is a wonderfully ran community with a low crime rate," said Supervisor Andrew Williams.
"They should be an example for all municipalities," he added.
Supervisor James McBride also commented on Scott and said, "We encourage our municipalities to try to be as self-sufficient as possible. We are not pointing any fingers but we commend them for their efforts."
Before Williams and McBride gave sincere praises to the municipality, Sheriff Kelvin Williams and Warden Ora Starks presented a report for the sheriff department and the Bolivar County Regional Correctional Facility.
Williams presented two requests to members of the board for his dispatchers to attend various training programs — both requests were approved.
"I really appreciate the job that you have been doing sheriff but I do have one concern," said Supervisor Preston Billings.
"I am sure that you recall the incidents that we had in Eastgate with cars running into houses. I just want to know have you been looking into this matter? I think that the sheriff department needs to be proactive in looking for a way to resolve this issue," continued Billings.
Sheriff Williams said, "We have been looking into this matter but accidents happen. We have no problem with trying to find solutions to this issue."
Just when Williams and Starks seemed to conclude their reports, Billings voiced his concerns about the correctional facility.
"I am always concerned about the inmates and their well being. I just want to know what is being done about contraband? I have been hearing so much negative feedback from citizens concerning this issue," said Billings.
According to Starks, the facility has been investigating the matter thoroughly and has met with the commissioner of corrections to come up with some possible solutions.
Starks did not mention the solutions concerning the issue but she said the facility is actively communicating with various sources to render effective measures.
Bolivar County Code Enforcer Cynthia Blockett and a representative from C Spire Wireless announced there are repairs being made to the cell towers in Merigold.
"We are going to add three antennas to the tower to enable the use of 4G Internet services," said Blockett.
Billings said," I happen to do business with C Spire and I do know one thing about them, if the company provides service for you, you are definitely going to pay them."
Emergency Management Director Bill Quinton made a request to pay off two fire trucks.
The cost to pay off both vehicles is well over $42,000 and it was approved.
Members of the board went into executive session to discuss possible litigation and personnel matters with the Sheriff Williams.
No decisions were announced.

The Anatomy of Great Design: Part 01
So, what truly separates great design with the not-so-great, wanna-be designs?
The anatomy of a great design starts with the audience, not the designer. The mistake that most young designers make is they forget the ultimate goal of their design - to communicate. Many times, ignoring the importance of communication hurts the effectiveness of the design, and thus, damages the integrity of the design.
The designer must be able to remove himself from the design and view it through the eyes of his audience. This process requires honesty and an attention to detail - if it brings the realization that the piece is not communicating effectively, then the design is flawed, and it should be changed. This is an extremely difficult step in design since it turns a critical eye on one's own piece, but it is necessary.
The message does not simply consist of text and copy, it also is the mood and the tone. A dark background communicates differently than a white background. A textured element creates a different tone than a solid color. When the perspective switches from making art to encouraging the communication, the designer can begin to create great designs. There must be a distinct separation between the create process and the logic process, but both must harmonized together in a balanced act.
The key characteristic of a great design is that the audience does not notice the design; the design simply communicates the message without any barriers. If the information or message is hindered by the design, then the designer has not designed effectively. Any element that does not encourage the communication of the message, mood, or tone should be removed. It becomes a consist editing process - validating the design at every stage in the process. Ultimately, if done well, this refining process will produce a great design.

Okay, panic control time. For both those who are panicking jubuliantly (dirty look) and those who are really panicking (that's me). Whether or not you are a Zito fan, doesn't it feel disturbing for one of last year's starting five to be hurt? It makes me feel vulnerable and Todd-Wellemeyer-era-esque. I would also like to add that though I am not a superstitious person, when the majority of last offseason was spent saying "Zito is a #5 starter who never gets hurt, how bad can it be?" I felt a little like clapping a hand of the speaker's mouth and saying, "Shhhh, anyone can get hurt."
The ironic thing is that the call-up of Vogelsong didn't necessitate any roster moves, because the Giants had 39 men on their 40 man roster. Not only do the Giants have a lot of fans this year, they have quite a lot of players. Some (that's me) might say too many. I was floored to learn we were under the quota. My feeling about the team, the past few days?
I don't like it in here. It's terribly crowded.
I'm scared that Bochy and Sabean are going to turn mad (turn mad?) unless they do a little spring cleaning. There are some serious diamonds and some diamonds in the rough in this organization but there's also a fair share of fool's gold.
Basically, I think the front office needs to be bloody, bold and resolute (having a quotes field day, here). This doesn't need to happen right now- it's early-, but at some point they are going to need to get rid of some people and designate the roles of other's. Variables = great. Crowded = destructive. And right now it's just plain crowded. I like Ishi and Nate, but they are both Major League caliber players who just have no place on this club in the foreseeable future. I get that they're good to have as options/pinch hitters/alternate starters/injury fill-ins. But in the meantime? If they're going to stick around, they need a role that is understood and can be fulfilled. And is DeRosa really that super-utility man who plays every night in a different position? I can't tell. Maybe it's because of his wrist flarin' up or maybe there's just no room. I think when Belt's surprisingly made the team out of the desert he messed with the whole 2011 plan.
I'm a bit of a neat freak but the way I clean is less focused on things being clean and more on things being organized. Likewise, Giants. Likewise.
Diamond Girl
p.s. This week in MLB hair. I mean, afros are coming back this season. But usually a little more, ahem, tamed? And if Zito's at all superstitious, is it too much to hope for that he would lose the James Franco 'stache?

A navigation system codeveloped with Garmin retires the dated graphics of the older system, but it still pales in comparison to what you can get in many $25,000 family sedans. Buyers can now opt for red, gray, or yellow brake calipers (black is standard), and there are new windshield wiper blades...Read more
The DBS sits atop the Aston Martin heap, although you'd be hard pressed to tell that just by looking at it. Aesthetically, the DBS wears the same face, shape, and character lines as the Virage and the DB9. You can distinguish the DBS from lesser Astons by its deeper front spoiler; extra-wide, guppy-style intake for the oil cooler; large rear spoiler; flared wheel arches; and wider rear track. Unless the cars are parked next to one another, the differences are pretty subtle, except in price: nearly $70,000 separates the DBS from the Virage. Like that car, the DBS can be had either as a coupe or a Volante (convertible) and as a two-seater or a two-plus-two. Weighing less and packing 20 more hp than a Virage, the DBS is estimated to go from 0 to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds en route to a top speed of more than 190 mph. Despite legitimate performance credentials, the DBS is often overshadowed by the more emotional Ferraris and Lamborghinis. Those who buy a DBS won't be disappointed, however. It features carbon-ceramic brake rotors, carbon-fiber body panels, and a six-speed manual transmission. A ZF six-speed automatic is optional. The sure-to-impress Bang & Olufsen audio system is standard and, on the Volante, can sense whether the top is up or down and adjust its sound level accordingly. The Carbon Edition model, which goes on sale in early 2012, adds ten-spoke, gloss black wheels; has an even more plush cabin swathed in leather and trimmed in carbon fiber; and comes in three colors -- flame orange, ceramic gray, and carbon black metallic.
Drive: Rear-wheel Trim Levels: DBS, DBS Carbon Edition Body styles: Coupe, convertible, 2- or 2+2-passenger Engine: 5.9L V-12, 510 hp, 420 lb-ft Transmissions: 6-speed manual, 6-speed automatic Passenger volume: 78.0 cu ft Cargo space: 6.6 cu ft
