RE: November Quilting/Sewing Goals (Follow-Up #43)
posted by: toolgranny on 11.26.2009 at 01:57 pm in Quilting Forum Our month is about over and I've completed my goals, except the FMQ on color wheel. Might get to it yet.
1. Table runner (FOR ME) 2. Jeweled Forest pattern hanging. I didn't do it in the bright colors but did a Xmas fabric version and this homespun version. I liked the homespun best and put the other blocks away for next year. I may post this by itself since it is a pattern many have seen and might be working on. 3. Jigsaw puzzle quilt together. This will be a major FMQ job so won't get to that part for awhile. It will join my pile of FMQ UFOs for now but it's a relief to get it to this stage. 4. You can see Teddy Bear blocks above color wheel. 5. Color wheel ready to sandwich and quilt. I hand dyed the fabrics so it took a long time for the right colors and still it has colors not quite up to par. But, it's good enough to decorate my wall in an office no one else gets to see anyway. Okay Sharon, what have you got planned for December? It's a busy month so I may just work on the learning curve to get up and running on the new Grace frame. Shopping first, of course. NOTES: Saved for the jigsaw quilt!

RE: Questions: Baltimore Album & Applique (Follow-Up #5)
posted by: geezerfolks on 09.22.2009 at 06:34 pm in Quilting Forum We had an applique class here on the forum a year or so ago that got me started. I'm currently working on Eleanor Burns Applique In A Day. It's a WIP that possibly you have helped spur me on. I have 4 completed and another almost done. I'm using muslin for the background on these and I've found longer needles work well for me. Here are the 4 I've done.
I really like this technique for applique.... Sharon Here is a link that might be useful: applique tutorial NOTES: applique patterns

Classroom UFO completed (pic)
posted by: toolgranny on 08.10.2009 at 06:37 pm in Quilting Forum This is the product of Annie Smith's class on Value. All nine blocks are same pattern only you stack up the fabric and cut pieces and shuffle to place different values in different places on each. It makes a nice study, doesn't it. Who'd have thought that block could look so different just by moving the values around. Not my best work but good to practice on.
NOTES: Different way to stack and whack! 9 fabrics, all cut the same and pieces switched around. Love it!

Container Soils - Water Movement & Retention VII
posted by: tapla on 03.22.2009 at 08:29 pm in Container Gardening Forum I first posted this thread back in March of '05. Six times, it has reached the maximum number of posts to a single thread (150), which is much more attention than I ever imagined it would garner. I have reposted it, in no small part, because it has been a wonderful catalyst in the forging of new friendships and in increasing my list of acquaintances with similar growing interests. The forum and email exchanges that stem so often from the subject are in themselves, enough to make me hope the subject continues to pique interest and hopefully, the exchanges provide helpful information. Most of the motivation for posting this thread again comes from the participants' reinforcement of the idea that some of the information provided in good-spirited collective exchange will make some degree of difference in the level of satisfaction of many readers' growing experience.
I'll provide links to the previous five threads at the end of what I have written - in case you have interest in reviewing them. Thank you for taking the time to look into this subject - I hope that any/all who read it take at least something interesting and helpful from it. I know it's long, but I hope you find it worth the read.
As container gardeners, our first priority should be to insure the soils we use are adequately aerated for the life of the planting, or in the case of perennial material (trees, shrubs, garden perennials), from repot to repot. Soil aeration/drainage is the most important consideration in any container planting. Soils are the foundation that all container plantings are built on, and aeration is the very cornerstone of that foundation. Since aeration and drainage are inversely linked to soil particle size, it makes good sense to try to find and use soils or primary components with particles larger than peat. Durability and stability of soil components so they contribute to the retention of soil structure for extended periods is also extremely important. Pine and some other types of conifer bark fit the bill nicely, but I'll talk more about various components later. What I will write also hits pretty hard against the futility in using a drainage layer of coarse materials as an attempt to improve drainage. It just doesn't work. All it does is reduce the total volume of soil available for root colonization. A wick can be employed to remove water from the saturated layer of soil at the container bottom, but a drainage layer is not effective. A wick can be made to work in reverse of the self-watering pots widely being discussed on this forum now. Since there are many questions about soils appropriate for use in containers, I'll post basic mix recipes later, in case any would like to try the soil. It will follow the Water Movement information.
There are two forces that cause water to move through soil - one is gravity, the other capillary action. Gravity needs little explanation, but for this writing I would like to note: Gravitational flow potential (GFP) is greater for water at the top of the container than it is for water at the bottom. I'll return to that later. Capillarity is a function of the natural forces of adhesion and cohesion. Adhesion is water's tendency to stick to solid objects like soil particles and the sides of the pot. Cohesion is the tendency for water to stick to itself. Cohesion is why we often find water in droplet form - because cohesion is at times stronger than adhesion; in other words, water's bond to itself can be stronger than the bond to the object it might be in contact with; in this condition it forms a drop. Capillary action is in evidence when we dip a paper towel in water. The water will soak into the towel and rise several inches above the surface of the water. It will not drain back into the source, and it will stop rising when the GFP equals the capillary attraction of the fibers in the paper. There will be a naturally occurring "perched water table" (PWT) in containers when soil particulate size is under about .125 (1/8) inch.. This is water that occupies a layer of soil that is always saturated & will not drain from the portion of the pot it occupies. It can evaporate or be used by the plant, but physical forces will not allow it to drain. It is there because the capillary pull of the soil at some point will surpass the GFP; therefore, the water does not drain, it is perched. The smaller the size of the particles in a soil, the greater the height of the PWT. This water can be tightly held in heavy (comprised of small particles) soils and 'perch' (think of a bird on a perch) just above the container bottom where it will not drain; or, it can perch in a layer of heavy soil on top of a coarse drainage layer, where it will not drain. Imagine that we have five cylinders of varying heights, shapes, and diameters, each with drain holes, and we fill them all with the same soil mix, then saturate the soil. The PWT will be exactly the same height in each container. This saturated area of the container is where roots initially seldom penetrate & where root problems frequently begin due to a lack of aeration. Water and nutrient uptake are also compromised by lack of air in the root zone. Keeping in mind the fact that the PWT height is dependent on soil particle size and has nothing to do with height or shape of the container, we can draw the conclusion that: Tall growing containers will always have a higher percentage of unsaturated soil than squat containers when using the same soil mix. The reason: The level of the PWT will be the same in each container, with the taller container providing more usable, air holding soil above the PWT. From this, we could make a good case that taller containers are easier to grow in. A given volume of large soil particles has less overall surface area when compared to the same volume of small particles and therefore less overall adhesive attraction to water. So, in soils with large particles, GFP more readily overcomes capillary attraction. They drain better. We all know this, but the reason, often unclear, is that the height of the PWT is lower in coarse soils than in fine soils. The key to good drainage is size and uniformity of soil particles. Mixing large particles with small is often very ineffective because the smaller particles fit between the large, increasing surface area which increases the capillary attraction and thus the water holding potential. An illustrative question: How much perlite do we need to add to pudding to make it drain well? We have seen that adding a coarse drainage layer at the container bottom does not improve drainage. It does though, reduce the volume of soil required to fill a container, making the container lighter. When we employ a drainage layer in an attempt to improve drainage, what we are actually doing is moving the level of the PWT higher in the pot. This simply reduces the volume of soil available for roots to colonize. Containers with uniform soil particle size from top of container to bottom will yield better and more uniform drainage and have a lower PWT than containers using the same soil with drainage layers. The coarser the drainage layer, the more detrimental to drainage it is because water is more (for lack of a better scientific word) reluctant to make the downward transition because the capillary pull of the soil above the drainage layer is stronger than the GFP. The reason for this is there is far more surface area on soil particles for water to be attracted to in the soil above the drainage layer than there is in the drainage layer, so the water perches. I know this goes against what most have thought to be true, but the principle is scientifically sound, and experiments have shown it as so. Many nurserymen employ the pot-in-pot or the pot-in-trench method of growing to capitalize on the science. If you discover you need to increase drainage, you can simply insert an absorbent wick into a drainage hole & allow it to extend from the saturated soil in the container to a few inches below the bottom of the pot, or allow it to contact soil below the container where the earth acts as a giant wick and will absorb all or most of the perched water in the container, in most cases. Eliminating the PWT has much the same effect as providing your plants much more soil to grow in, as well as allowing more, much needed air in the root zone. In simple terms: Plants that expire because of drainage problems either die of thirst because the roots have rotted and can no longer take up water, or they starve/"suffocate" because there is insufficient air at the root zone to insure normal water/nutrient uptake and root function. Bark fines of fir, hemlock or pine, are excellent as the primary component of your soils. The lignin contained in bark keeps it rigid and the rigidity provides air-holding pockets in the root zone far longer than peat or compost mixes that too quickly break down to a soup-like consistency. Conifer bark also contains suberin, a lipid sometimes referred to as nature's preservative. Suberin, more scarce as a presence in sapwood products and hardwood bark, dramatically slows the decomposition of conifer bark-based soils. It contains highly varied hydrocarbon chains and the microorganisms that turn peat to soup have great difficulty cleaving these chains. To confirm the existence of the PWT and how effective a wick is at removing it, try this experiment: Fill a soft drink cup nearly full of garden soil. Add enough water to fill to the top, being sure all soil is saturated. Punch a drain hole in the bottom of the cup and allow the water to drain. When drainage has stopped, insert a wick into the drain hole . Take note of how much additional water drains. Even touching the soil with a toothpick through the drain hole will cause substantial additional water to drain. The water that drains is water that occupied the PWT. A greatly simplified explanation of what occurs is: The wick or toothpick "fools" the water into thinking the pot is deeper than it is, so water begins to move downward seeking the "new" bottom of the pot, pulling the rest of the water in the PWT along with it. If there is interest, there are other simple and interesting experiments you can perform to confirm the existence of a PWT in container soils. I can expand later in the thread. I always remain cognizant of these physical principles whenever I build a soil. I haven't used a commercially prepared soil in many years, preferring to build a soil or amend one of my 2 basic mixes to suit individual plantings. I keep many ingredients at the ready for building soils, but the basic building process usually starts with conifer bark and perlite. Sphagnum peat plays a secondary role in my container soils because it breaks down too quickly to suit me, and when it does, it impedes drainage and reduces aeration. Size matters. Partially composted conifer bark fines (pine is easiest to find and least expensive) works best in the following recipes, followed by uncomposted bark in the <3/8" range. Note that there is no sand or compost in the soils I use. Sand, as most of you think of it, can improve drainage in some cases, but it reduces aeration by filling valuable macro-pores in soils. Unless sand particle size is fairly uniform and/or larger than about ˝ BB size I leave it out of soils. Compost is too unstable for me to consider using in soils. The small amount of micro-nutrients it supplies can easily be delivered by one or more of a number of chemical or organic sources. My Basic Soils
Big batch:
Small batch:
I have seen advice that some highly organic (practically speaking - almost all container soils are highly organic) container soils are productive for up to 5 years or more. I disagree and will explain why if there is interest. Even if you were to substitute fir bark for pine bark in this recipe (and this recipe will long outlast any peat based soil) you should only expect a maximum of two to three years life before a repot is in order. Usually perennials, including trees (they're perennials too) should be repotted more frequently to insure vigor closer to their genetic potential. If a soil is desired that will retain structure for long periods, we need to look more to inorganic components. Some examples are crushed granite, pea stone, coarse sand (see above - usually no smaller than ˝ BB size in containers, please), Haydite, lava rock (pumice), Turface or Schultz soil conditioner, and others. For long term (especially woody) plantings and houseplants, I use a soil that is extremely durable and structurally sound. The basic mix is equal parts of pine bark, Turface, and crushed granite. 1 part uncomposted pine or fir bark

posted by: teresa_nc7 on 02.23.2009 at 09:11 am in Quilting Forum Yardage will depend on what pattern you are piecing. I mostly use my stash and specialize in scrappy quilts so I can't help you there.
My baby quilts are around 40" square or 40" x 50" rectangular. I don't want to make them wider than 40" because that might mean piecing the back, which I am loath to do. Prices for my baby quilts start at $120 (with a $60 deposit - I *always* get a deposit) for a scrappy style and go up to $175 for a quilt with lots of machine applique and special fabrics purchased. My baby quilts are always machine quilted also. I love, love to make baby quilts! NOTES: <none>

Matching quilt for baby
posted by: nana24 on 08.10.2008 at 10:23 pm in Quilting Forum This is a quilt I just finished and gave to a young couple expecting their 1st child. It is a matching quilt-2 of each fabric mostly bugs, butterflies, frogs, etc. It is 45 x 60 inches so I hope the child will still be using it when he is learning to match.
The young mother to be was so excited. She said she and her siblings had had a quilt their grandmother had made and they each drug it around until it finally fell apart. She was excited that her son would have the same experience. She was going home to call her mom to tell her about it. It was fun to make. Sally NOTES: <none>

RE: looking for experienced gardener in Florida... (Follow-Up #9)
posted by: solstice98 on 07.11.2008 at 10:35 am in Florida Gardening Forum UniqueEnigma,
Welcome to Florida and welcome to the Forum! You will receive lots of ideas, inspiration and support here. But I don't think you received exactly the response you were looking for - someone to come to your place and help you build your raised beds. I want to explain a couple things so you don't think people aren't being helpful. I'm not being critical of your post - I just want you to understand since you are so new. First of all, you just signed on to GardenWeb a couple days ago; you don't have a history here, so we don't know you or anything about your personality. We've had a couple issues with members who turned out to be (how should I say this...) 'stranger' than we expected them to be. Give this a little time, get to know people and let them get to know you. Maybe come to a swap or two. After that it will be a better time to invite people to come work in your yard. But even then I'm not sure this is the right place to be looking to hire a garden helper. We don't do business on this forum and I think that's one of the things GardenWeb discourages. Like I said, I'm not being critical of your post - I just want you to understand since you are so new. We often recommend that new residents - even experienced gardeners - take some time to get to know their yard, to understand growing conditions and the seasons in Florida, and to really think about what they want from their yard before they start building their gardens. Many of us who have moved here from other regions have been overwhelmed by the amount of time and work a garden takes in Florida. We try to save new residents some anguish by preaching a slow and cautious start! All that being said, I'm sure you'll love gardening in this state and you'll enjoy this forum, too. Lots of great and very knowledgeable people here, willing to share ideas and support whenever you need them. Kate NOTES: <none>

Easy Photo Posting Instructions (K8)
posted by: solstice98 on 06.30.2008 at 07:54 pm in Quilting Forum I've seen a few requests for this information since I started posting on the Quilting Forum, so I thought I would just enter it all here. If this doesn't work for you or if you have problems, send me an email and I'll see if I can help. I love to see pictures so I'm happy to help anyone make that happen!
DON'T BE NERVOUS! This may sound complicated the first time but once you've done it you'll see it's easy and fun. You'll be posting pictures every time you visit the forum! First of all, you need an account on a photo sharing site where you can store some pictures. You can't link directly to photos in your computer. Photobucket is the one I use the most and I think it's very, very easy, but Picasa, Kodak Gallery, and several other sites work just as well, I'm sure. These sites all have free accounts available and so you can start posting photos today without any expense. Cool, huh? So, once you have the account set up, follow the instructions for uploading pictures from your computer. You can add them one at a time, or upload several at once. (See below for some thoughts on setting up albums.) Don't worry about losing them. You are just copying them to Phtoobucket and you'll keep them on your computer. Besides being able to share them, it's also a good backup for your most precious pictures. When you have some photos loaded, your page will look something like this: To add a photo directly into your forum message, click once on the line under the photo that's labeled HTML Code. Then go to your message in the Quilt Forum (or whichever forum you want) and paste it into your text message. It will show up just as text until you hit the "Preview Message" button. Then the picture should show up. If it doesn't, check to be sure you selected the HTML Code line instead of one of the others. You can add as many pictures to a single message as you want, but if you do more than 3 or 4 it gets very slow to open for people who use dial up. Here's a good thing to understand: your picture doesn't really get transferred to GardenWeb. What happens is that the HTML code is telling GardenWeb (with magic computer instructions) where to go in Photobucket to find the photo AND it's also telling it to display the photo. If you delete the photo or even move it in Photobucket to a different album, GardenWeb will still have the old instructions and won't be able to find it. The link will be broken. If you edit the picture in Photobucket, making it smaller or adding a border, that will show up the next time someone looks at the message in GardenWeb. The real picture stays in Photobucket - GardenWeb just temporarily imports it each time someone opens your post. I hope that makes sense. If it doesn't let me know and I'll try again! About albums: When you first set up your account, you'll see where you can "Add a new album". Since you won't want to move photos later (because you'll break the link), it's a good idea to set up a few albums right away. I suggest one for Home (house pictures), one for pets, one for garden, one for quilts, one for vacations, etc. It's easy to add them at any time so they don't need to all be set up right away, but a couple are a good idea. I even have one called Miscellaneous for any pictures that don't see to fit anywhere else! Kate NOTES: <none>

I saw one like this in an old English quilt book and copied the idea, using some blocks of theirs and some of my own. Fabrics are hand dyes with a few pieces of magenta batik mixed in. Next one will be in flaming oranges, reds and magentas. I've turned into a big fan of applique (thanks Jennifer). NOTES: <none>

"Let the banning begin..." I think that says it all. I've been a member of GardenWeb since 2001 and have always felt comfortable signing my name (Kate) to my posts. I've hosted plant swaps at my home with 50 GardenWebbers from my area attending. I had never met those people before face to face, but knew they were friends from years of interaction on these forums. Always felt comfortable signing my name... until now. The nastiness I see on this forum led me to do something I would not have done before. Yup, I'm guilty. I signed on today as WLK because I wanted to continue to use this forum and talk to quilters and was afraid that if I said what I wanted to say I would have to face the mob. It was dumb and I admit it. Mostly it was dumb because if that's what I have to do to safely share an opinion then this is the wrong group for me. I'm pretty certain this will be my last post on this forum. I'll lurk and learn from the quilters who have wonderful things to share, but I don't think I'm up for the interaction. For the record, I suspect 'Crafteegurl' was booted off the GW because of her comments and had to sign on as someone new. If you are demanding that everyone air their dirty laundry and beg the group's forgiveness then she should not be exempt. Isn't that what you are asking this other quilter to do? Throw herself at your mercy and beg forgiveness for passing off a quilt she bought as one she made? You've made it pretty clear you won't give it to her so why should she do it? She made a terrible mistake. And she's shared more things about her family in the past than you wanted to hear. I understand why you may be tired of it, but there are better ways to handle it than to form a mob. "Grab your quilting needles and pitchforks and storm the castle!". Is this the way you learned to handle sad people? It doesn't sound like she has a very happy life at home; this forum may have been her one escape from that and the one place she had 'friends'. I'm not sure why you felt the need to destroy her publicly instead of confronting her privately. You did and that parts done. I seriously don't understand why a couple of you need to keep it up. You got what you wanted and as I read "Mary C"'s email I see you've hurt at least one other person on the way. Outta here, NOTES: <none>

RE: 3 tons fo flagstone-help (Follow-Up #2)
posted by: fawnridge on 04.24.2008 at 04:28 pm in Florida Gardening Forum laura - get a roll of ground cloth and put it down where you want the pathway to go, right on top of the dying grass. This will help prevent the stones from sinking.
The right way to do your pathway is - ground cloth, a layer of drainfield rock at least 1" thick, then place the stones. Fill in with brown river rock between the stones to hide the drainfield rock and stablize the pathway. This is also the most expensive way of doing it. You can get by without the drainfield rock and river rock, but you should not skip the ground cloth. Use finely shredded mulch between the rocks as a "grout" and bring the mulch out past the stones. Think about two important considerations - first, are you going to walk side-by-side with someone? If so, then the pathway has to be at least 36" wide, 48" is best. Second, are you going to walk barefoot? If so, then the stones should be closer together as you'll be walking slower. NOTES: <none>

You ask for help, then put your friends off time after time. You say the jobs are huge and overwhelming, then say they are little messes. Do you ever go back and read the things you write? Take some advice from an old lady: just get off your sofa and do it. I ache everyday from severe arthritis and I've had my share of tragedies in 88 years, including the loss of a child and a dear husband, so I know a little about all this. You are right, you'll never get over that, but that poor lost darling would want you to keep living and trying and hoping. She would want you to be caring for the living, including your plants and most especially, taking care of yourself. Do this: spend 10 minutes each morning and 10 minutes each afternoon, no matter how bad you feel, cleaning up one little spot in your garden. Start at the front door and go clockwise around the house. Don't change from this pathway and don't jump around from job to job. Just 10 minutes at a time, but do it twice a day. Do it, do it, do it. Do it for this old lady. No more whining. If your friends want to come and help, let them and welcome them with open arms. But when they are there, let them work. This isn't social hour, its help to get you back on your feet. Remember that you'll never get on your feet while you are sitting on your you know what. A lot of people wish you well, but you'll wear that out if you keep singing the same sad song. Shut off your computer and go do your 10 minutes right now. You people all spend too much time on this thing! (I tell my daughter that all the time too so I'm not just getting on you about it.) 88 and hurting, but still have dirt under my fingernails!

Begonia propagation for newbies
posted by: Mari11 on 10.31.2005 at 10:10 pm in Begonia Forum I saw questions from newbies on how to propagate begonias by leaf cuttings. I am not very much experienced on growing begonias, but I've done leaf propagations many times and love it.
There are pictures step-by-step on propagation of rex begonia: 1)Choose a healthy mature leaf (I use sometimes young leaves also) 2) Cut the edges 3)Make 2-3 wedge-shaped cuttings 4)Plant them in the mix of peat moss and perlite 1:1 in little pots, water and tent them for a few weeks 5) There are new plants grown on leaf cuttings planted on Sept,29 Rex begonias are very easy to propagate this way. Other rhizomatous begonias can be propagated by whole leaf, it may take up to 2 month until new plants show up. NOTES: <none>

posted by: solstice98 on 03.25.2007 at 09:06 pm in Florida Gardening Forum Gardening is like
farming. You'll have good years and bad years. Insects, disease, too
much rain, too little rain, too hot, too cold, hurricanes, hail,
neighborhood dogs, racoons, citrus rats, bad children, ugly lubbers,
clumsy husbands, etc etc etc. This list goes on and on.
You'll find a few steady favorites that you'll plant each year because they almost always perform well, but the rest is experimentation. And what does well one year won't necessarily look good the next. It's not about being a nooby, it's just gardening! So why do we all do this? Because when it works, it's glorious. And when it doesn't, we can at least tell good stories about it. (And everything that dies, gives us a space to try something new next year...) NOTES: <none>

posted by: Josh on 09.18.2005 at 09:47 pm in Dried & Pressed Flowers Forum Adam, I think most of
us frame arrangements...the easiest to use I've found is an Acrylic Box
Frame. It's easily changeable and will hang on wall or stand on my
miles of bookshelves...and comes in variety of sizes (4x6" to 18x24").
Sometimes I just frame three perfect fern fronds or Autumn leaves.
Sometimes I make a "bouquet" using flowers and bits of ivy, etc. It's
fun to change often. There are all sorts of traditional frames too of
course...I just like the simplicity and modern look of the acrylic box.
Decoupage is easy using Acrylic Matte Medium as both glue and protective finish. I've done wooden trays, wooden boxes and an antique wooden cannister set. Not really washable but can be cleaned with damp cloth. Or you could do wooden plaques for wallhanging. Placing flowers and/or foliage between two pieces of clear vinyl adhesive shelfcovering is fun for placemats. I once covered a bathroom window with red Japanese Maple leaves using Elmers Glue. Magical with sun shining thru. Or you could use a variety of different leaves or flowers. Easily removed with wet sponge when you tire of it. Most of my projects are short-term 'cause I love to play...plus I love to try new arrangements. Notecards are popular but like bookmarkers you just need a few usually. I often add dried flowers to pages of my garden journal..enjoy looking back through it. Hope others will chime in.

flowers on my greeting cards. What is the best sealant to use so that
the flowers don't disintegrate in the mail?
I tried laminating, and found it looked too unnatural. I also tried spraying with an acrylic sealer, but the acrylic spray caused the petals of the pansies to wrinkle. Also, the smell was somewhat offensive. Can anyone make a recommendation for sealers?

Bible history class to be part of student pre-enrollment packets
A Bible history elective class discussed in November by school board members will be part of Mustang High School's pre-enrollment fall packets.
The class was one of 11 course offerings proposed by Superintendent Sean McDaniel and his staff for consideration by students during the 2014-2015 school year. Board members on Monday approved the course offering to secondary students in a unanimous vote taken during their regular December meeting.
Although members approved the Bible elective's inclusion in student packets, they will have one more chance to review the class curriculum before the fall semester. That move was taken upon McDaniel's suggestion, although it would be an unusual extra step in offering a new course, the superintendent said. Normally a new class goes through nine steps, beginning with an internal audit and request to add a course, which is then reviewed by the district's curriculum committee. If approved by that body, school board members would then review the proposal.
"Typically step 4 is as far as a board of education will go," McDaniel said.
In the case of the Bible history elective, McDaniel said he thought board members would feel more comfortable reviewing the course's proposed curriculum. Steve Green, president and chief executive officer of Hobby Lobby gave a November presentation to board members about the proposal at McDaniel's request. His staff at Green Scholars Initiative was working on components of at least the first proposed semester for the course, McDaniel said.
Green discussed his vision for the elective with board members, focusing on the Bible's history. The Hobby Lobby CEO is working on a Washington, D.C. Bible museum scheduled for a 2017 opening. He said the Green Collection contains more than 40,000 biblical texts and artifacts. According to his Museum of the Bible website, Green and his staff were working with Dr. Robert E. Cooley, president emeritus of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, to help develop the course curriculum.
"The courses will be offered as electives and will take the same model as the museum," the website stated. "A year each is devoted to the history, impact and story of the Bible, with ninth grade encompassing a survey of all three."
The course would be non-denominational and would not concentrate on any particular organized religion, Green said. The course would be appropriate – and now legal – after Oklahoma adopted a 2010 law allowing it to be offered by school districts in the state.
If students show interest in the class and it is included on next fall's schedule, Mustang would be the first school district utilizing Green's curriculum, he said. Because the course is offered as an elective, students can choose whether or not they are interested in it, Green said.
Other courses approved by board members for next year included:
- Advanced Placement Human Geography;
- Seventh- and Eighth-Grade Speech Debate I;
- Eighth-Grade Leadership Citizenship;
- Seventh- and Eighth-Grade Gateway to Technology;
- Sports Entertainment and Marketing;
- Mock Trial;
- Archery and Fishing;
- Stagecraft/Technical Theatre;
- Freshman Success; and
- Pre-AP Spanish I.
Board members were expected to review the Bible history class proposed curriculum by their April board meeting. If issues cropped up or the board could not agree to course details, the district would be forced to push the class offering back, McDaniel said.

"When someone we love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure". - Anonymous Lost Loved Ones
Grief experts agree that finding a way to keep lost loved ones' memories alive is a very important and necessary aspect of healing. Wrap yourself in precious memories or pass on the history of a life well lived in a tangible, lasting way. Lost Loved Ones Memory Quilts honor and celebrate your loved ones while offering comfort and healing for those left behind.
Though quilts have been grouped to help visitors envision possible uses,
any quilt or design can be customized to meet your special needs or occasion.
*Due to the file sizes of some photos, pages may take a few moments to load completely*
Thank you for your patience. (Click on Quilts to enlarge and enhance detail.)
Each patch in this special quilt is a different piece of my mother's clothing. After she died of breast cancer at 48 in 1994, piecing her belongings together into quilts of memories started me on a healing journey as each fabric memory was pieced into something beautiful, functional and lasting for me and my family.
The leaves are representative of the October day she left us, and the abundance of colorful fall leaves that decorated the funeral home and church when we said goodbye.
After the death of her grandfather, a client sought a way to create a special remembrance of him for each member of her family. By using his neck-ties to create these individual quilted wallhangings, each of her relations received a special remembrance of Grandpa in a lovely piece of quilted art.
Made of his mother's fabrics, the moody, undulating pattern of this quilt reflects the ups and downs of moving on after losing a loved one. While sometimes you walk in the shadows, the sun does shine again….
Train t-shirts and handkerchief materials carrying special memories of Erin's father provide the perfect frame for a photo and timeless remembrance of the man, himself.
Peterson's Blues - 50x60 Patchwork
After the untimely death of her husband, this client requested that quilts be made from his clothing for each of her three children. By utilizing the embroidered names and logos from his shirts, as well as pockets from his jeans, the memories were kept even more distinct.
When asked how these Christmas quilts had been received, she smiled, "It was almost like he was there with us."
Trapp's Farm II - 44x56
Landscapes & Patchwork
The second in the Trapp Family series, this quilt renders actual photos of the Kansas homestead into Landscape blocks, then combines them with Grandpa's farm denims and handkerchiefs into a stunning whole.
A special pocket block in the lower right-hand corner is designed to hold a 5x7" farm journal, and the pieced 9-Patch blocks feature pockets and snap hardware from Grandpa's hard-worn 'everyday' overalls, as well as his new overalls that were only brought out for holidays and special occasions.
A 'hanging sleeve' made of suspender hardware completes the quilt, carrying family memories across the years and miles.…
The hand-embroidery on this lovely quilt was done years ago by a client's mother, but the quilter passed away before the project was complete. Legacy Quilts completed the remaining quilt squares and finished the quilt for the client, bringing it to life and creating a special remembrance of the past that had been boxed away for years.
After Meghan's father passed away, we used his much-loved t-shirts to make a quilt of memories for her. T-shirts and jeans combine perfectly to memorialize the easy-going nature of the man himself.
In Celebration of Elizabeth Ann Thornton - 86x86 Patchwork
Over 30 of their mother's fabrics, as varied as bathing suits to upholstery fabrics to t-shirts, come together in this Latticework design reminding the family of their mom and celebrating her life.
Six lap size quilts - one for each sibling - mimic their father's king-size design made from a lifetime of Mom's fabrics. T-Shirts to table linens, and clothing to curtains are transformed into holdable, huggable quilts of memories celebrating their Mom.
After clearing out her grandmother's house, this client stated that the curtains used in this series of quilts, "are what I have left of my grandma." Combining existing fabric motifs, machine-embroidery and available color schemes, Legacy Quilts created a quilt reminiscent of the nature her grandparents lived in and loved.
Brights - 100x92 Patchwork
I set out to make a quilt using my mother's clothes that was as bright and vibrant as she was. Using all manner of fabrics from dresses to scarves to curtains, this design embodies such life and movement that it reminds me of her every time I see it.

The festival that will go on till December 18, is being orchestrated by Maharaj Devraj from Jodhpur Gharana and features an eclectic array of culinary delights from the royal kitchens.
The exuberant spread of authentic Rajasthani cuisine range from vegetarian dishes like gobin gatte, dal bati churma, rasgulle ki sabzi to meats from the royal kitchens of Rajasthan like lal maas, safed maas, bhuna bataer and desserts like ghewar, lapsi and imarti which will satiate your appetite for the clourful flavours of the royal land. The other specilities are breads of various kinds like channe, makki, bajre ki raab, and Bikaneri methi parantha.
Enjoy the extensive lunch and dinner buffet amidst majestic atmosphere that is complete with camels, Hawa Mahal cut-outs, posters, sculptures and bangles corner. Apart from relishing the lip-smacking delicacies, you can also get yourself clicked against the backdrop of a puppet theatre while your kids enjoy the puppet performance.
Exemplifying the overwhelming spirits of the vivacious state with traditional folk dancers, each guest would be welcomed with raabdi, chaas and thandai and given a tour on arrival. Special counters for Bikaneri mixtures and tangy pickles add to the feel of the festival.
Rajasthani cooking was influenced by both the war-like lifestyles of its inhabitants and the availability of ingredients in this arid region. Food that could last for several days and could be eaten without heating was preferred. All this has been kept in mind while preparing the dishes, in order to lend an authentic flavour to it.
Visit Edesia for lunch between 12:30pm and 3pm or dinner from 7:30pm till 1am and take delight in the flavoursome food of Rajasthan which comes at a price of `1,600 + taxes per person for a full spread.

Finally, a blue color that I've been looking for! This is by far the best blue out there. It's a gorgeous navy blue with aqua/turq shimmers, that makes this perfect! Looks fab on toes and nails!
Yoga-Ta Get This blue, is a navy blue with aqua shimmers, and Russian Navy is a navy blue with pink and purple shimmers.

This is a really nice bright, medium-dark blue colour. It has quite a bit of shimmer in it, which looks turquoise in the sunlight.
Can anyone tell me how similar this is to Russian Navy? I know somewhere that I can still get one and if it's different enough, I think I will pick it up.
Love the color! It looks fantastic over one coat of Blue My Mind, which is a lighter, true blue. I only use color on my toes, and it looks great and has not chipped as yet. The color is so rich but not dark enough so you can't see the dimension in it. just beautiful.
I am glad I am not the only person who has that one bristle that has gone astray! what the f is that??? so frustrating.
I'm wearing this stuff right now! It looks pretty awesome and everyone was telling me "nice nails" today when I wore it. It goes on pretty nicely but it was 10 bucks at Ulta! That's a bit steep for me for just a bottle of nail polish, and this wasn't the one I orginally wanted.. I wanted to try the Russian Navy but they didnt have it and this was the next dark blue similar to it. I think it looks good on paler people because the color contrast looks cool, it pops more.

When I think of India I picture a lot of bright, rich colors! For a touch of Bollywood glam at home, I thought the new India collection would be fun. I was immediately struck by Yoga to get this blue. As far as OPI names go, this one is stupid and kind of a cop-out versus color titles like "Moon over Mumbai" and "Curry up don't be late". Overlooking that, though, the color is beautiful.
The first coat goes on smooth and is a royal blue with teal-ish shimmer. Its too sheer so I layer about 3 to achieve this a beautiful lapis blue with shimmer. I'm in love with blue nailpolishes and this is currently my favorite!
Nailpolish doesn't wear at all on me, so I can't really speak for it's lasting qualities. Maybe other people will have better luck there?

I Love this product! Hated the wide brush but the color is great! I hardly ever wear dark shades because they tend to all look black. Not this one it is a pretty blue. I don't see the aqua shimmer that the others were talking about. My next purchase will be OPI Elephantastic Pink. The reviews on that one are great also.
(click continued for a lil' pic)...=D Yoga-ta Get This Blue is at this moment, my favorite dark shade! YGGTB is a part of the India Collection (Spring/Summer 2008) by OPI. This particular collection really impressed me as far as color variety and overall range. That said, I picked this particular shade up at my local HEB for about $7, and it is worth every penny! It is a true dark royal blue with some serious aqua shimmer. I love how it actually appears blue in all lighting instead of black, which I feared b/c some other darker OPI shades lie
(i.e Midnight in Moscow!!) But oh my-it is soooo lovely! I was driving yesterday, sitting at a red light and I was so distracted by my nails in the sunlight! In indoor settings, YGGTB is a dark glossy royal blue, but when outdoors, the aqua background really shows its side. Mesmerizing, unique, and gorgeous! No other words
Unfortunately, the new Pro-Wide Brushes on OPI bottles make for a somewhat annoying application. Seriously-why so big, OPI? And there is always that cursed stray bristle that gets in the way. But, I am trying to get the hang of it. YGGTB is definitely worth the extra couple of minutes to figure out the PW Brush. It takes one coat to achieve bottle results-but I added two coats just to seal the deal. Lasting power is awesome, even without a topcoat or base. I have had this polish on for about 3 days, and I have very little tip wear. I am now so eager to try out more colors from this collection!!! =D

Love it! It's a very striking colour, a deep sapphire blue, with gorgeous shimmer that adds a lot of depth. In the sunlight the shimmers appear to go from teal to blue but they don't disappear the minute you go indoors, which I adore because this polish never looks black.
I LOVE this blue! I've been searching for a blue that I really like and, although I already own a couple of different blues, this one is *it* for me. It's the perfect dark denim blue on me and it looks fabulous against my skin tone (NC43ish in MAC).
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I HATE the pro-wide brush! Since this polish is so dark, the wide brush got polish all over my fingers.
Once it was on and cleaned up, though, this colour is great. I tried Chanel's Blue Satin but it was a bit too dark for me, and looked black unless I was in direct sunlight. By contrast, this is a vibrant colour that is unmistakably blue in every light. Unlike Russian Navy, which is bluey-purple, this is very blue. I would have liked to see some more shimmer in this polish to add depth, but I have only worn this in the shade and inside, so maybe there is more shimmer in the sun. Although this isn't the trendy polish blue satin is, I would pick this up as a great alternative if very dark polishes don't look good on you.
As for quality, this is typical OPI. Very long-wearing and goes on smooth (despite the crappy brush).
Definitely give this a try!

My First BBQ Contest: Battle of the BBQ Brethren
September 20, 2013
Yesterday, I shared 10 tips for cooking competition ribs and today, I turn to my good friend and protégé Josh Bousel of Meatwave.com for an an account of his first contest.
Ever since my first visit to a barbecue competition I've been thinking about jumping into the game. Joining into a strong community of people who share a similar passion seems like a logical step to take my cooking from the backyard to the next level. Although the basics of cooking in a competition are the same as I'm already doing—rubbed, cooked low-and-slow, then sauced—there are techniques and flavor profiles that set apart award-winning 'cue from what you find in a backyard or at a restaurant. I admittedly know little about this side of barbecue, so I was grateful and excited when Clint Cantwell, the pitmaster behind Smoke in Da Eye, let me join him for a day of cooking at the Battle of the BBQ Brethren, a sanctioned event out on the Island in Manorville, New York.
I first met Clint back at Grillin' on the Bay in March and quickly found him to be one of the most welcoming and easiest pitmasters to talk to—it helped that we have common interest in blogging and he's also the editor at Kingsford's Grilling.com. I was already familiar with Smoke in Da Eye due to this winning team's heavy media coverage everywhere from CNN, to Fox 5, to Serious Eats, but I was happy to finally meet the man in person. As I got out of house more and to barbecue events around New York, I've been seeing the same faces again and again, with Clint being one of them, so I felt no hesitation in answering a call he made for a little help at Battle of the BBQ Brethren.
This particular competition is two days, with a New England Barbecue Society sanctioned grilling component on Saturday and the KCBS barbecue competition on Sunday, for which I volunteered to help out Clint.
On the train that Sunday I was lamenting my choice of day a bit as I sped through southern Long Island towns, not seeing much out of the window due to the heavy rains limiting visibility. Arriving in Speonk right in the middle of a downpour, I caught a cab to Manor, arriving at the muddy, tent filled site around 10am.
With Saturday night at his disposal, Clint already had most of the meat prepped and smoking by the time I showed up, including all boxes filled with lettuce and holding beers (some that I later drank) to imprint the space that the meat would later fill.
The first turn in was chicken at 12pm. This was the calm before the storm as the first hour and half was spent lazily checking brisket temps, watching ribs, and waiting for the chicken to slowly cook. It wasn't until the last 15 minutes prior to turn in that things started to amp up with a sudden turn to the hectic as the chicken needed to be quickly grilled to give the skin a slight crisp and color.
In the 5 minutes before noon, Clint picked the most consistent pieces of chicken, dapped them with a little sauce, and artfully arranged them in the box. While he wasn't happy with the state of the chicken skin, the thighs I ate while he was out on box delivery were filled with a sweet and tangy flavor, and me and my fellow teammates nearly finished them all off.
Eating had to be done fast as the next turn-in, ribs, came only 30 minutes later. When we first pulled the ribs from the smoker, we all knew these were going to be killer—they had just the right bend and picture-perfect bark. With a little finishing sauce done on grill, they were ready to be boxed.
Like the chicken, Clint picked the best looking of the bunch—12 ribs out of 48—boxed them and gave them a final touch-up. Judging by looks, we all felt that we had a true winner on our hands, a sentiment that was only further solidified once we dug into the remaining racks. The ribs were cooked perfectly and had sweet finish with just a little spice that gave a balance to the sugars in the rub.

Hey ladies, I heard from Nicole!!!
She says she is doing well, lucas and aaron are doing well as well, but life is crazy (we all know that feeling!)
Tara: She says she sent you a message, and to please check it (theres a notification usually in the right hand corner where it says your username, my settings, sign out, help, and then a mail symbol. click that).
Well, pretty sure Layla just made me a stinky present, and Scarlett needs to go outside.
Oh my..Layla keeps pooting lol. it sounds like a grown man!! =x
I just got a email from the lady who did her onesie, for her birthday, and said they arent shipping it until saturday, however, it takes 3-5 days to get here (coming from CA), Im worried about not getting it in time for her party.. I didnt get the notification of the email until today, it was sent 3 weeks ago. talk about a glitch.
her new diaper bag should be here on saturday too its smaller than what I've used since she was born, so Im ready to downsize, as I no longer bring the entire house with me whenever we go somewhere. lol. Mum mums, diapers, wipes, snacks, sippy cup, and night night blanket..and good to go! im calling it my "toddler bag".. only its super cute
Hey everyone! I had an appointment with my doctor today. My hormones are fine. She said she tested for some other stuff but everything was negative. She walked me through Clomid. Does anyone use a certain brand of ovulation predictor? Does it really matter?
Alexx- Glad your appt went well and you followed up with your doctor. That way you get a better idea what to expect. I only used OPKs a few times I can't remember which ones I used. I think they were digital First Response or something. I used some other ones too. I only had one month where I got a positive I think because I wasn't Oing on my own.
AFM- Yesterday was my birthday so I spent the day with family. It was nice. Tomorrow we are doing the Tough Mudder which is about an 11 mile obstacle course mud run. I'm super excited!

C2C Fellows is a national network for undergraduates and recent graduates aspiring to sustainability leadership in politics and business.
C2C Fellows will engage 300 students each year in intensive leadership training. We will challenge young people to consider: What skills and experiences are needed to become people of power, people with the ability to affect the future, within five to ten years? C2C will then support the Fellows to gain these skills. The US Constitution empowers citizens at age 25 to become members of Congress. Yet few young people even imagine pursuing this opportunity. More students have been inspired by young business entrepreneurs. Yet few develop the leadership skills needed to launch a green business.

I want to plant veggies and perennials in a couple large round stock tanks. To save on buying soil, any suggestions on what I can use for filler in the bottom? I dont like styro peanuts. What about recycle pop cans covered by newspaper or cardboard? Is this a bad idea? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
pop cans , 2 litre soda bottles with lids on. bricks, large rocks. i would not use card board it will fall apart. i would use landscape fabric or fibreglass screen material between the soil and filler. |
I fill my deep beds with composting material: leaves, kitchen scraps saved over the winter etc. By late fall/early spring I have mostly composted soil for pots and beds. The mix of materials determines how many years until it is done. The beds do settle a few inches. Settling is a minor problem around the edges. |
M - I would fill to desired ht with ballast, like empty soda bottles or milk jugs with screw-on caps and back-fill with no covering (like cardboard or landscape cloth) at all. I wouldn't fill the bottom with anything organic, as it can turn to a soup-like consistency if it's not very stable, increasing water-retention, reducing drainage, and producing noxious gasses you don't want in the soil. There are also some considerable benefits related to drainage and the ht of the PWT to be had by allowing the soil to filter down in between the items you're using for ballast. Al |
My raised beds are well aerated. I built them using old fence boards stacked like a rail fence. So basically it's board-gap-board. As Al mentioned drainage could be a problem. I'd drill extra holes in the side for air/drainage. |

What about using cinder blocks as a space filler in stock tanks? Are there harmful chemicals in cinder blocks? |

Langton, Stephen
Langton, Stephen
biographical name(died July 9, 1228, Slindon, Sussex, Eng.) English cardinal and archbishop of Canterbury (1207–28). Langton was living in Rome when Innocent III nominated him as archbishop of Canterbury to settle a disputed election. When King John refused to allow him into England, the pope excommunicated John (1209). John finally submitted and received Langton in 1213. The new archbishop encouraged baronial opposition to the king but opposed violence. He was present at the signing of the Magna Carta (1215) and influenced its provisions on ecclesiastical liberties.

If it's half as good as the book, you'll love it. I had a terrible time trying to read the last chapter because I couldn't stop crying long enough for my eyes to focus. I hope the movie conveys the rich depth of the love between the couple. Yes, take tissues. |

Well, I saw it tonight and I loved it, but my gosh!!!!!!!!!!! My friend and I had a hard time holding back a major crying jag. When we got up, we both told each other that we wanted to just sit there for an hour and wail. Being that Mom just passed away from Alzheimer's and Mom and Dad had such a beautiful life filled with so much love to the bitter end, it reminded me so much of them. A friend of mine made a special call to me a few days ago,to tell me that she wanted DH and me to go see it together because she said that the couple's love reminded her of the love that DH and I share. She told me that she has always been so envious because even though she has been married twice, she never had that obvious, passionate, love with anyone. I feel sorry for her that she hasn't, but seeing the movie and hearing her tell me that again, has made me feel grateful for being fortunate enough to live it personally and to have seen it in my parents. I know not everyone is that fortunate. I shouldn't take it for granted, I know. I really do want to read the book after I finish some of these projects around here. Hmmmmmmmmmm, I hope I can still see when that time comes. LOL Bump, I took your advice and brought kleenex to the movie, but tried not to have to use them because I knew if I got started, I wouldn't be able to stop. I did pretty well. There was a great big man sitting next to me crying his eyes out. It was sweet. Lu |

I'm so glad you went to see it and liked it! When we left the theater, the only one NOT sobbing was a kid about 9yrs. old! Guess they couldn't find a sitter for him!! lol |

He was probably totally oblivious to what the movie was all about. Probably squirming in his seat wanting to go home. lol I want my DH to see it, although he probably wouldn't like it like I did. I guess it's more of a "chick flick". Lu |

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Gov. Mike Pence has tapped a former Japanese company executive to serve as his special adviser for Asia and to lead the Indiana Economic Development Corp.'s strategy to strengthen and expand initiatives on the continent.
Rick Pease comes to the state after a 30-year career at Columbus-based Enkei America, the North American division of a global automotive supplier.
Pease's duties will include leading the state's efforts to attract new jobs from Asian companies and to encourage existing Asia-based companies to expand their investments in Indiana.

The MemoRight FTM-25 240GB SSD
On the front of the actual drive MemoRight carried over the same green nebula theme used on the box art. The label clearly displays the drives model series and capacity size.
The back label has the full model number, capacity size and serial number.
The side of the drive has both mounting points where they should be. This will allow you to install the drive in your notebook and desktop adapter easily.
The SATA power and data ports are also where they should be, so you can install the drive in an enclosure.
This is the first time we've seen this PCB layout. The SandForce controller is offset to one side of the PCB and not in the middle.
On the back we found two empty spaces for super caps. This leads us to the conclusion that MemoRight is using the same PCB for both the consumer and enterprise models. Considering the amount of time that goes into engineering the enterprise drives, this can only be a good thing for consumers.

Events & Activities » Canoeing
We run taster sessions that are ideal for those on holiday here. Our aim is to make you see how much fun you can have in canoes/kayaks - so you go home and join your local club. Or maybe you will join this one. A volunteer instructor from the club looks after you while you are on the water. You make a donation to our club equipment fund, we suggest £15 pp. We can also run taster sessions for groups such as works parties or birthday parties. If you are interested in taster sessions see link to the canoe sections website.
If you live locally (or visit regularly) why not come and join as a member. The cost of joining the Canoe Section is quite reasonable eg £57 for a single adult and £88 for a family. That gives you a years use of all our 38 boats. From day 1 you can use our sit on top kayaks. If you have a second home here or a relative who lives here that you visit every year then you may well be able to justify becoming a member. The Canoe Section is open to beginners and provides tuition from qualified instructors and experienced members. You do not pay extra for tuition. Kayaks are easy to get on and off the water, provide healthy exercise, fresh air and fun. Members are able to use all the canoe sections boats at any time once they are competent. You do not pay extra to use the boats on your own. Members are able to explore our coastline with its beaches, caves, seals and birds. They can also attend our regular paddles upriver to pubs and restaurants for meals, after which we often return by torchlight. The clubs range of boats has increased in recent years and now includes sit on top kayaks which need very little instruction. Many people are joining the club just to have access to our growing fleet of sit on tops which currently comprises four doubles and five singles. We also have sea kayaks, canadian canoes and kayaks suitable for white water kayaking. Elements of our fleet suit families with small children, such as our double sit on tops.
If you have any queries about canoeing in Dartmouth please contact the Canoe Section Leader
