Kin -- that is a huge PR. Excellent!!! All systems are pointing upward.
Doc -- at least you can't crash your stationary bike riding with a hangover.
OMR -- late to the party; congratulations on the 5K PR. More where that came from.
Went down to DC to cheer on a friend running Marine Corps. Got 8 easy miles in. Really nice day for a race.
Kin - awesome job. I thought you'd do a tad better than 1:31 but I didn't want to jinx it!
Sub 4:30 50k, still lazy
Outstanding, kinase!
Awesome 5K, OMR!!
Getting back on track. Screw that, NACN!! is back on track!

My week:
M) 6.75 w/ strides
Tu) 7 w/ 5xhill sprints

Su) 18 @ 8:21
Total: 72
A 16 y/o XC Runner stuck in a 51 y/o body.
Nick: Wow, those are some bright shoes. You can probably rest assured that scurvy won't be a problem for NYC. I can't believe that's only a week away!
rlk: Things feeling any better?
kin: Congrats again...like PJ, I was thinking 1:31 was pretty soft, so I'm glad to see you come in well under that. And first female is awesome.
Gpops: Way to toss in the exploding sausage for kin. And well done on the 8+. Hope that knee pain continues to improve. I can't believe the Gophers pulled out a win against Nebraska yesterday. Perhaps that's a good omen for the Vikes (because they need all the help they can get!). Oh, and what time did you throw down for Nick? I'm still debating...
Sam: Yeah, the recovery is quick, and I've got a couple more 5Ks on the books between now and mid-December.
NACN, FB, everyone...thanks. I'm admittedly a little disappointed with the time yesterday, but I've got two more 5Ks coming up (next one on Thanksgiving Day), and I have every intention of getting a sub-19 before the end of 2012.
6.3 @ 7:57 for me this morning.
Race week:
Kinase - That was exciting to read. Well done catching Grey Shirt. You'll have to replace that Garmin with a model that does not explode at high speed.
Upcoming: Staying local, Kaiser half, Oakland full, San Francisco full.
kinase, awesome race!!!!! wow!! what was this race called? always looking for more SF races/organizations
OMR & NS: hip is still not great. did a lunch run of 7 on friday a bit quicker than easy pace, it felt bad. took of saturday and foam rolled the crap out of it. ran my last LR of 10 today, and besides the hangover-induced wave of nausea/dizziness at mile 8 (moratorium on drinking now until post-race!), my hip started hurting at like mile 5. which is at least later than usual. but........ 5. which is a lot less than 26.2. so, once more, it's a foam roller kinda night. just going to take it suuuuper easy. self massage, etc. ugh.
_____________________________________________ 5k - 20:45 13.1 - 1:33:49 26.2 - 3:21:05next: kaiser half, oakland half, hopkinton, SF half, [...], trail 50k?!
rlk - Darn, that's too bad about the hip. Suuuuper easy sounds like the right call for this week. I'd take a couple days off before trying to run again, and then stop as soon as you feel any pain. Hopefully it clears up by Sunday! My race was "Run with the Jets" in San Mateo (in the flight path for SFO, so many planes flying overhead). I had never heard of it until I went looking for a less hilly alternative to the US Half next weekend.
Jim - Yeah, I haven't had the best luck with 305's, just never realized it was a speed explosion issue!
Kin -- exciting report, and basically balls out racing. Congratulations. Fast second half into the wind, passing people with a bike escort. Very cool. The mini taper really seems to have helped. Funny about the exploding 305.
rlk -- well, crappo. Good luck healing. You and Doc could share the too much fun the night before recovery run.
Jim -- 6 weeks until CIM.
16@8:28 felt comfortable for a 101/102 week.
Kin - Congrats. Very cool.
Rlk - Plenty can happen in a week. Take it easy.
Nick - If you shut out the lights, can you still see those shoes?
OMR - Congrats on the PR, even if it wasn't what you wanted. I personally find it difficult to perform consistently in the 5k unless I've been training for it, so what happens today may not mean much tomorrow. Also glad to see that my hot dog brothers are out there killing it.
I pulled out the hot dog suit for a 5k on Saturday. Ran by feel, and wound up at 18:37, which is only seven seconds slower than my non-costumed PR (which is more than a year old). Meanwhile 6-year-old DD1 ran the same race as her first 5k, also in costume, and went 37:41.
Finished the week with 64.2 miles.
GP - bandit is such an ugly word. But, yeah, hopped in at 11 and out at 17. Felt a bit guilty cause it was super crowded where she was running. Final result was a 4:07, really nice debut for her.
kin - if you want a data point, I ran 1:27 at a hilly half in March and then ran 3:08 at Flying Pig (also hilly). McMillian predicted 3:04 off that half. I think i'll be chasing the McMillian times forever, though.
OMR - want me to come up there and pace you for a 5k? I think I can get you to 18:30.
10k this weekend. I'm thinking 38...
Out of town for the weekend and I miss so much. Wow.
kin-awesome half and loved reading the RR. I'm glad the mini-taper helped as much as it did.
OMR-congrats on the 5k PR and good luck going sub-19.
rlk-good luck with the hip. Hopefully the extra rest will help heal it.
Some nice looking mileage, Dad, fb and McBen and hey to everyone.
I raced a 5k on Saturday in DC while visiting friends for the weekend. I did not PR, but I was relatively happy with a 20:01 (old PR from 2009 is 19:34), considering the hammy problems I've been having and the amount of wine I was enjoying with my friends the night before. The conditions and course were perfect (about 40 degrees and completely flat), and hopefully with some speedwork added in I can beat my old PR. I was slightly disappointed to barely miss a sub-20, but maybe another day.
Yesterday I did 16 at about a 8:30 pace for 47 total for the week. I didn't realize when I planned the trip that it was MCM weekend, but I ran on a couple bridges over the marathon route and saw some of the leaders on the mall near the end of my run. Makes me want to come back sometime to run it.
The hamstring was giving me a little trouble during the long run and it is a little sore today, but not too bad, so hopefully (knock on wood) will not interfere with this week's workouts.
PRs: 5k 19:23, 10k 39:39, HM 1:36:11
Good racing from McBen (and DD as well) and Justin83.
Rest up that hip as much as possible, rlk.
Excellent mileage across the board, WTG.
Tuesday--10 @ 8:25 with 1600s and 2000s at 10K pace
Wednesday--6 @ 9:20
Thursday--4 @ 7:40 and 2.1 @ 11:36
Friday--6 @ 9:19
Saturday--18 @ 8:19 (aiming for 8:23, or 10% slower than GMP for this run)
Sunday--7 @ 9:29
Weekly total--53.1 miles. Haven't seen a weekly total that high since mid July. I'll get up to 60 mpw before the taper. Just under 6 weeks to go with a tune-up half marathon this coming Saturday.
Oh yeah, awesome RR from kinase!
Missed the 5k, McBen. Nice work!
NACN-great to see that you're getting out there and hitting that higher mileage. Nice week.
kin: Great RR! I hope I'm never just ahead of you in a race, because then I'm going to be called something like "Mr. Runs Like a Freak." And your comment about me not getting a sub-19 until next year sounds like a challenge! Game on!!
rlk: Any thoughts about going to a PT? Just curious, because I was having hip issues last year, and it turned out that my pelvis was out of alignment. It felt better immediately following the first treatment, and I was running pain-free very quickly. (Of course, that was accompanied by strengthening, etc.) Just a thought.
McBen: Ha, yeah, I forgot to mention the hot dog. As soon as I found myself following him, your avatar came to mind, and I was chuckling to myself. Well done on the 5K...that's impressive, especially when you're running by feel in a hot dog costume.
PJ: Hmm...does this mean you would run just in front of me while holding out a beer? Pretty sure 18:30 would be in the bag in that scenario!
Justin: Well done on the 5K...hammy problems and wine is probably not a good combination (but one OR the other is fine, right?...especially if it's the wine!). Sounds like perhaps you're a candidate for FB's "run under it" club.
NACN: Another good week from you. Is 1:35 the goal for this weekend?
Hey to anyone I missed.
OMR - No challenge intended - I was just noting that it might be tough to go back in time to get sub-19 by the end of 2012 as you wrote in your initial post. 2013 shouldn't be a problem!
Apparently OMR is a little behind!
Hi all, Is it just 6 days until NYCM? Wow.
Dad - OMR has a little behind?
OMR - Nice 5K this weekend.FB - 6 weeks till CIM? Oh crap, I'd better start training!McBen - You went sub-19 (and them some) in costume? Wow! I like how you are tracking costume and non-costume PRs.Kin - I too have a 305, which has been doing some odd things lately. If it fell apart mid-race I might not stop for it.
rlk - Sorry ro hear about the hip. Fingers crossed for that.PJ - Nice data point from you. Kinase is running some serious mileage, so she could well be in the neighborhood of that McMillan time. Justin - Nice weekend 5K from you too!There's a Run-Under-it club? Hope I dont need to join, but you never know. My Week:Mo: 8 EasyTu: Track, 4 x 2400m @ MP+10sWe: Rest & RollTh: 13.7 with 9 @MP(ish) in the wind.Fr: 8 EasySa: 11 EasySu: 12 EasyNo long run this week. 61 miles total.
Oh... You'd think I would've caught that.
Jim: Ha! You know, I've had this creepy feeling today that someone's been following me, checking out my...hmm... Nice week, by the way. Time to hop into the 6-week plan.
Dad: The DW would probably argue that "little" is a bit too large.
14.2 @ 8:18 today.
Out of town for work and tablet typing so excuse the brevity.
Omar- going to buy a Delorean?
Kin- great report and love the effort and exploding watch
mcb- yes. Great 5k results for you and dd
fb- killer week, again!
jim - yep, better get started.
Rlk- I would run anymore until maybe sat.
Justin- nice 5k!
nacn - looking good for Memphis. You going to wear orange ?
hey all.
Last workout, 8 with 4 miles with intervals. 7:25 oa. Feeling old and sluggish.
Perfect. All systems go.
Yup, there are days when I dream of feeling as good as that!
Great racing McBen and great report Kinase
8 miles today at 8:03 pace, AHR 138
Can I whine about the weather here or do I have to go to the NYC forum....
Ooops. nevermind, just checked it and if it will stay is it's perfect.
McBen ~ Speedy hot dog!
FB ~ Since you are king of the one-legged squats. Do you have a weaker leg? How good/bad is your posture? I feel like I'm hunched over too much.
7.5 w/ strides. Some core/rowing. Trying to get stronger.
Hey Dad -- I do have a weaker leg (left). It was a result of the knee bone bruise (now two years old). In the time after I did it, I clearly favored it and lost some muscle mass. I think they are pretty close now.
The other stuff, like core, posture, breathing, weights are like dessert. It feels good feeling good, though I'm not sure how much it helps race times. I've seen various PT guys/gals over the years (hey, this is the left coast), and got tips on walking, posture, breathing, that sort of thing. Mostly because it's fun. But that knee and leg. That's real.
FB ~ Thanks. My left is noticeably weaker too. I meant posture doing the squats, but the other info is good. Agree it "feels good to feel good" and this is definitely a use it or lose it game.
The same here. I've found that the longer I've been doing squats and core, the stronger everything gets and the easier it is to hold form together and not hunch over. I only do the one leg squats on the left leg, so I'm probably going to over compensate and start running circles to the right.
tried the 5k TT this morning, sunshine and cool temps, just a bit windy. started way too fast and had to abort. was going for 1k splits of 4 minutes and then go 100% on the last 1k to see where it lands. when i did the first 1k in 3:49 i knew it was going to be bad... deciced to abort before i hit the 3k mark.
more to come... I need interval training to master the 5k pace... badly

Yesterday, Warner Bros. exercised an option it had to purchase Monolith Productions, the developer of such games as No One Lives Forever, Tron 2.0, and the upcoming PC game F.E.A.R and MMORPG The Matrix Online.
GameSpot spoke with Monolith president and CEO Samantha Ryan just hours after the news was announced and asked her what is now in store for the fast-growing studio that already has four projects on its docket.
GameSpot: Where is the upside for Monolith in this deal? How do you folks benefit?
Samantha Ryan: I think theres a lot of future potential for Monolith in working with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. For one thing, they have one of the most extensive libraries of IP in the world. It will be pretty exciting to have access to that. In addition, theyve made it very clear that they want Monolith to continue to create original franchises that can transfer from the game space into film, TV, comic books--whatever it might happen to be. So the combination of access to wonderful licensed properties as well as the great ability to create original franchises--well, you cant beat that combination.
GS: Will Warner Bros.' property take precedence over Monolith's original ideas or vice versa?
SR: I wouldnt say philosophically one takes precedence over the other. It purely depends on the individual product. Both options are exciting for very different reasons. I think its really satisfying when you can do both and enjoy the good side of both.
GS: And what about resources? Now that youre owned by Warner Bros., do you have greater resources to tap? As a result, do you see Monolith growing and more development taking place?
SR: We currently have four projects in development, two of which are public knowledge and two of which have not yet been publicly announced. We have 150 employees, and our goal is to make great games. So in the future, as part of Warner Bros., that goal doesnt change. Will we grow? Its hard to say. We may. We will do whatever is best for the company, and we will make sure that we do whatever is best for us to continue to make great games.
GS: Do you already have publishing partners for those two unannounced properties?
SR: Yes. And its worth noting that Monolith plans to continue to work with other partners besides Warner Bros. There will be no change in the status of F.E.A.R., which is a project we currently have in development with Vivendi. And there should be no fears that that project is going away. We are superexcited about the game launching next year.
GS: What was the reaction from the staff when they heard the news?
SR: The reaction by Monolith staff has been really positive. Its been wonderful. A large contingent of people from Warner Bros. flew up to be with us today, and they are a great group. Weve been working with them for a while now on The Matrix Online, and weve gotten to know them very well. So, this purchase for many of our employees feels like a very natural transition.
GS: How will this development change Monolith in terms of structure?
SR: Monolith will continue to operate the same as we always have. I will retain my position, which is president/CEO. There will be no management changes, although I will now report to Jason Hall at Warner Bros.--which is ironic since I used to report to Jason back when he worked at Monolith.
GS: Will you be staying with the core group?
SR: Yes, I will remain ensconced at Monolith as I am now. Again, there are no plans for any changes in Monoliths management. Ill run the day-to-day business. I have my talented executive team, and no one will be moving down to Los Angeles. We want to stay headquartered in little bitty Kirkland.
GS: Are you on the lookout for additional development talent?
SR: Well, yes. Monolith has been doing a lot of hiring in the past year, and I would suggest that you have people check our Web site where all of our job openings are posted. But we are a high-demand developer, and every year projects get bigger and bigger, so we need to meet those needs in order to deliver Triple-A-quality games.
GS: What sort of progress is being made on The Matrix Online?
SR: The Matrix Online is going really well. Its been a huge development effort; the team is very large. Its a very complex game, but were really excited with the progress that weve made, and there have been people that have started in the beta, and well be expanding that in the next few months.
GS: A closed beta...
SR: Right now it is a very closed beta, but it will definitely be opening up in the future months.
GS: Samantha, thanks so much.

Hi, I've got a 'wild'-type persimmon tree in my yard that is fixing to drop its fruit (fruit is about golf ball-size, maybe slightly under) and I would very much like to trade the persimmon seeds for fresh bald cypress seeds. I've got a soggy patch in my back yard that can't even really be mowed that I think would be neat to plant a cypress tree in since they are swamp trees anyways. I'll send a bunch of persimmon seeds and I would like a fair amount of bald cypress seeds in return as I'm no expert on germinating seeds like this so I might need a few extras to make it work! Also I would like the cypress seeds to be fresh so that they have the best chance of germinating since again I'm no expert on this type of thing. Thanks a bunch! |

My goals are to keep up with a couple of other threads - a BOM applique BA type of some sort and the quarterly wallhanging project of Sharon's. Don't have either defined yet but am gathering fabrics and ideas. I also have a couple of baby quilt projects in the works, a bit undefined at the moment. I do tend to go off on tangents! |

I am going to join listing what I would like to get done this month - maybe that will either force me to actually do it - or at least help me see the progress. Before I can do anything - I need to get my Christmas Decorations put away!!! I need the space to work on the quilt tops. 1. Birthday Blocks for Jan-2 done and mailed. We'll see if this list helps me reach some of my goals. |
Get my frame & mid arm up and going. Gotta call Santa ..... |
I guess I'll jump in a put it in writing. I'm usually a very goal oriented person but since I retired 6 months ago I'm a bit more scattered. ~LOL~ 1. BB (Birthday Block) for January - Done and mailed I'm stopping. Since the first week of the month is ending I had better get my butt up to start doing some of these... Susan |
Susan you are so right about retiring!!!!!!!!! I WAS a very organized person, disciplined enough to take online classes. Retired and everything went somewhere in a hand basket LOL!!!! This is my year to get my house organized. Forget the sewing room LOL! You guys are making me look bad! 1) sew binding on quilt. 2) decide on project for Sharon's seasonal thingies. 3) mock Cathedral Window denim quilt. 4) start on a baby quilt for March birthday. 5) decide on BOM and stick to it. I sound real decisive don't I LOL!!! Rosa |
1. Finish sewing the top of my first project for the wallhanging challenge. I'm probably more than half finished with it. 2. Get up enough nerve to try to FMQ the project. Probably do some practice pieces....when is this project due???? 3. Sew together 2-4 blocks each of 2 WIP quilts. 4. Start planning my second wallhanging project. 5. Take down my Christmas tree....maybe. Salijo |

Start planning my William Morris type quilt. I recently got a quilt book that is inspiring me. |
- Posted by vacuumfreak (My Page) on Thu, Jan 7, 10 at 23:08
Finish what I start... I have 3 "projects" going on right now. The first is a pillow.... at work we have really hard stools and after sitting on them my behind starts hurting! The lady who sold me my vintage Brother machine gave me a good bit of scrap material with the machine. One of the things was some faux fur that is a tiger stripped design. There was just enough to fold it in half and sew a rectangular pillow that will fit on the stools perfectly. I sewed it a couple nights ago, though not without incident. I sewed half the pillow with no bobbin thread! There was really no excuse, as I was using the computerized machine with the clear bobbin cover, but I was concentrating on what I was pushing into the machine, not what was coming out of it! When I got it all sewed up, the top layer had bunched up and wasn't even with the bottom which remained flat (and I pinned it to death), so I have to rip it out and do it again. I wonder if I should use the walking foot or reduce the presser foot pressure when sewing such a material? I'm going to sew button holes through all the layers once I get it turned to create dimples so that the pillow is a little flatter and not too fluffy. The next project is a present for the boyfriend. He's a free mason (whatever that is... his grandpa was one so he had to be too), so I wanted to free hand embroider the free mason logo onto a the center of a pillow. I printed the design onto some paper and have been sewing through the printed paper onto the material, using it as a stencil. Well, I started that back in October (that's when his birthday was), but didn't finish it in time. Then I thought it would be ready by Christmas, but that didn't happen. It takes a lot of practice to get it right, and none of my practice attempts have been good enough to put on the pillow yet. Looks like it will have to be an Easter present now, if there is such a thing :o). I'm going to try it on the antique machine and see if it's any easier than the new one... I think the old ones run a little more smoothly. The third thing I need to work on is what may end up as my first quilt. When I was 19 (26 now, so it's been a while) and sold sewing machines at Sears I wanted to make a quilt so I bought some muslin and several different shades of green material (mostly plaids/checkerboards, but a flower print too). I cut them into 3 and a half inch squares (I don't know why I picked that length, but I think it was the suggestion of the lady at Joanne's. Over the past few months I have been sewing them into strips. I've got about 4 or 5 strips now. I've really enjoyed sewing squares that are already cut out... cutting and measuring are my least favorite parts of sewing (though I'm not crazy about pressing either). I sew for a different reason than most people... I do it because I like interacting with the sewing machine. They are fun to play with, both old and new, and there's nothing quite as pleasant as the hum of a sewing machine. I really don't care if what I make looks perfect or not! Which will show in this quilt, as some of the seams weren't cut or sewn perfectly straight and I know they aren't going to line up when I get them done... and I'm OK with that. It will look "rustic" just like my apple pie crust always does! I'm also running out of one of the materials that used for the squares. Either didn't buy enough or lost it during moves, so I need to head to the fabric store and look for a substitute. I'll learn better technique when I take a class, for now, I'm just having fun playing. Oh yes, and then there's that apron I started that I've still got to attach the lace to.... geeeze! (if any of you have any tips on sewing lace around a sharp corner so it looks good, I'm all ears... I tried to meiter as suggested on the sewing forum, but that left me with a gap in the corner of the lace) You all certainly have some lovely goals and I wish you much success during this month of sewing! |

Susan & Rosa I so know what you mean!! Here sits a formerly organized intelligent woman who since retirement feels like I lost 80% of my energy & 60% of my IQ! maybe they're somewhere with your handbasket Rosa!? Jan. looked good at first because I started in Dec. but lately... this list is a great idea! I'm counting on you guys to hold me accountable, but who's gonna be the superwoman to keep up on our lists? that would be a job! Good luck! everyone! - happy quilting!! ~Cindy |

I've never posted before, but here goes: 1. Start learning free motion quilting. Puny sounding goals, I know, but I'm also into knitting & watercolor. My brain is spinning. |

OK: feet to the fire time, or time to commit: Work on BD blocks, which I have mailed 2 THX Gals for keeping me going...Gwen |
I've been working on a Dresden Plate and have nine of the twelve 'plates' done. Generating lots of smaller scraps, so instead of letting them multiply like rabbits, I have been making a crazy quilt concurrently. I really like the idea of having two quit tops going, because I go on a run where I like working on one better than the other and I don't get bored that way. I am getting the crazy quilt sandwiched up now. It's about a twin bed size and I'm going to machine quilt it to get some practice in. I hope I don't ruin it, because this one is done really shows the progress I've made in the last couple years. I need to get the back ready to send off my queen sized double nine patch to get an all-over pattern. I've never done this and am not looking forward to hand quilting a queen. I have a cathedral windows panel I did three years ago, I want to make a large pillow out of, and the one and only lotto I won, eleven (including my three) blocks in a red sampler of patterns. One of them is a Tuxedo Junction block and can't be used alone, so I'll made three more and use it as a center and put blocks around it and work in some blue for a R/W/B quilt. Something every quilter needs to do at least once. Still leaves two tops in various stages of needing finished. But, I'm not going to tackle those just yet. I want to do another puff quilt using a different technique, and a full-sized log cabin down the road this year. |

Mid-month update: Work on Sally's quilt: Just have to put the border on the end of Salijo's quilt. (Don't read this part Sal)...I hope to be able to get it to her for her ???? birthday in March. Take 2 laps around the driveway daily: I haven't been taking laps every day, but most of them. That plus the exercise it takes to get out of 'the' chair should be doing something to tone up! Get caught up on Sew-Alongs and BOMs: Haven't done a one, but I've looked at them! Make some crumb blocks: Did (and started another quilt with them....what am I thinking???) Wall Hanging Challenge: On-going.....and it 'is' a challenge. SharonG/FL |

Birthday Blocks for Jan-2** Done and mailed. Very Bad part of list :) 8. Pin baste Stack n whack & quilt.** NOTHING We'll see if this list helps me reach some of my goals. **I still have a few days – maybe I can change one of the Nothings to something! |

I did meet my goal: to make and finish the raffle quilt for our nephew's benefit. And now I'm working on finishing a wedding quilt for a niece. The quilting's nearly done and then I'll start the binding. I'm pretty pumped again and even have some new clients for custom quilting! It's been hard to reestablish that here in Texas, but hopefully these quilts will lead to some good word-of-mouth for me. |
Goal was "Get my frame & mid arm up and going. Gotta call Santa ....." It is up and running. Got one UFO quilted, one baby top pieced, will get borders on another (thanks for the top Sharon) tomorrow. This weekend I will quilt them, or at least one of them. Yippee, this is the first time I have ever completed my goals and actually gotten extra done. beverly |
Looks like everyone has been busy sewing. Here's my update: 1. Finish sewing the top of my first project for the wallhanging challenge. I'm probably more than half finished with it. (Top is finished) Salijo |

I'm impressed with everyone's progress! You have been busy and are an inspiration! I have been sewing a little bit every day after work.... around 1 AM before going to bed. Even if it's just 20 minutes I need time with my machines to unwind and melt away the stesses of the day. I finished the pillow for work and it turned out nicely. I have 9 strips now for that "quilt top" thing I'm making... it's amazing how quickly that is coming together. The most important thing was to sign up for a quilting class. Sharon, thanks for the suggestion. I've lost interest in the apron for now however! I may resume in a few months. Cant wait to see what February brings! |

You're welcome, vacuumfreak. I completed the 69 piece Chocolate Star yesterday and also was prompted to get out the Applique in a Day and worked on that. I figure it's still January, so would post on this thread. Let's hear it for retirement and having lots of time to sew and quilt!!! YAHOOOOOOO SharonG/FL |
- Posted by toolgranny (My Page) on Sun, Jan 31, 10 at 13:34
Yeaaaa for retirement and quilting time. I'm so grateful for that luxury. I ended the month with a bit done. I finished my BA BOM and started the second one for Feb. I have done nothing on my quarterly wallhanging I started and may set it aside for something else as it doesn't please me. I have my frame ready to go but don't have the nerve to go out and start. I'll watch Beverly for inspiration. I've started a Quilt Univ class on EQ6 applique design. Love it. Highly recommend it. I have three separate baby quilt projects in the works. I'm so glad to finally hear pregnancy mentioned. Better Julie than you, Sharon or Sally. Now, I'm inspired for February goals! |

I can check off getting the Christmas decorations put away!!! I had planned to get one more item off my list, but we got a bunch of snow Sat -- and I had to shovel - shovel - shovel since DH shouldn't due to his heart procedures a few months ago. If you have a deck - and we have 3- you also have to get the snow off the decks if it is alot, because of the weight. Retirement.......and warm weather is calling me...........a few more years. |

Yesterday I experienced the distinct pleasure of being contacted and told that my chums at The Australian were holding a pity party and I was one of the courses on offer. Nom nom! It wasn't the first time such a thing had occurred – nor, I must assume, will it be the last, not even in a year or so when the entire staff of The Australian consists of a Shetland pony with a drinking problem trotting up and down an otherwise empty News Limited office transferring feces from bucket to bucket – yet after a couple of curious emails I wandered across to see what all the batshit crazy fuss was about.
The offending piece was written by Liberal MP and friend to the stars dog whisperer Greg Hunt and generally seemed to be making the point that well yes, Alan Jones may have made a few off-colour remarks about the Prime Minister but WHY DOESN'T ANYBODY GET CROSS WHEN PEOPLE ON THE LEFT MAKE ASSES OF THEMSELVES WHICH HAPPENS ON A REGULAR BASIS EXAMPLES OF WHICH I WILL LAY OUT FOR YOU IN DETAIL NOW. The article then went on to name several left-leaning ratbags and scoundrels and the scandalous utterances they'd made over the years, including the truly evocative image painted by Mungo McCallum of stubbornly present ex-PM John Howard as 'an unflushable turd', which seemed to cause poor Greg no end of pink-cheeked tutting.
There was – of course – a reference to me:
If we may for a moment address the latter part of these claims, both of which paint me as some sort of Kony-esque warlord, twirling at my moustache and demanding violence be enacted to all naysayers. The offending items Hunt refers to involve a tweet in which I wrote 'Tony Abbott, I hope your cock drops off and falls down a plughole' (not my finest moment, though mostly I am simply sad I forced people to briefly visualise Tony Abbott's genitals) and a Drum article in which I said that I rather hoped Christopher Pyne would be attacked by a large and libidinous dog. To be honest, the image I had in mind when writing the Pyne piece more involved some sort of giant Dulux sheepdog rutting at his leg with slobbering and comedic force, but there you go, perhaps I am to blame for not putting it more clearly/amusingly.
To see the terms 'genital mutiliation' and 'rape' in relation to one's name is no small thing in light of recent events and I feel – indulge me – that our friend Greg may have been gilding the lily somewhat for the purposes of his sweatily insistent piece.
The Brendan Nelson quote attributed to me, however, was not something I ever said or wrote. It was taken from a comments section on my old blog and to be honest I was rather startled to see it bandied about in such an incorrect fashion.
I ran my old blog from the years 2004 – 2008, and for the most part I didn't moderate comments. For one thing, free-range comments gave angry anonymous people the chance to tear me a new one on a daily basis and I didn't want to seem precious by blocking or deleting them when I was at the time giving it out with equal ferocity. For another, the idea of choosing who could say what and when seemed to set a dangerous precedent. I liked to imagine the blogging community as a robust round table of weirdos yelling at each other, and despite the fact occasional hideousness certainly got through I didn't then have the time or inclination to sift through the countless attempts at engaging (moderating comments on a blog is hard, you guys – ask anybody). The debate about whether blog publishers are responsible for the content of their deranged commenters rages on to this very day and to be honest, I still have a foot in both camps.
Whatever the case, the Brendan Nelson quote is one I most definitely (thankfully) didn't author, and it tires me to think that Greg Hunt lazily pulled together some random bullshit for the sake of a political argument.
During a somewhat heated phone conversation with The Australian's op-ed editor Rebecca Weisser yesterday, during which she shrieked interesting bon mots such as I'M REBECCA WEISSER and I'M THE AUSTRALIAN (what) I made the point that perhaps including the Brendan Nelson comment in quotation marks and saying that I wrote it may in fact give The Australian's audience (please don't laugh, there are still a few loyal people reading it) the impression that I, well, wrote it, as well as lead to irksome things such as the following:
Rebecca conceded that it was thus, and in what may be construed as an act of pure, unmitigated generosity (I am going to assume she is slightly sweet on me and wants to take me out for candy and sodas) she adjusted the piece to say 'published' instead of 'wrote' so thankfully now it only looks as though I have written entire volumes on violent acts I wish to make on Brendan Nelson's family and released them via Black Inc. so, you know, phew!
Certain things come back to bite you on the arse when you grow up on the internet, and it's fair to say now that the conservative press have a go-to drawer of pull quotes I have made over the years that they can dust off and employ at any given time to support an argument or simply put me in my goddamned pinko place. Most of them are on my old blog and I haven't deleted the entire thing in a fit of pique because firstly, I suppose it exists on public record anyway and there's no point hiding from it, and secondly, difficult as it is now to read some of it back (like the teenaged bleatings of a pissed off Evanescence fan), it's a document of a time and a person who no longer exists. Your writing softens as you get older, and I'd like to think that despite the fact I am still a politically irate individual I'm able to focus my rage rather than spray it across the room with the ungainly grace of an intoxicated rollerblader brandishing a machine gun.
If, at seventy-one years of age, after a lengthy and chequered career in media, I am invited to speak at a function for Young Liberals I will be fucking surprised hopefully manage to have aged gracefully enough to make whatever comedic points hit their mark for my slavish hooting audience without offending an entire nation in the process.
I am not afraid to take responsibility for my past actions, but I reserve the right to learn from my mistakes. If Greg Hunt wants to fact check for future trawling he need only call.
Someone forgot to tell Cory Bernardi.
'Soz, too busy pretending to read to take your call right now.'
The Australian's equivalent of flowers and fruit basket.

Taking Our Temperature
How can you protect yourself from disease?
Learning how disease spreads could make you worry about all the ways you could get sick. Please don't. These simple steps will do a lot to keep illness away.
Source: CDC: Center for Disease Control and Prevention |
General Tips
- Wash your hands with soap and water before eating. It's one of the most effective ways to prevent illness. Wash up after you use the bathroom too.
- Don't eat extremely rare meat.
- Never drink water straight from a lake or stream.
- Be sure that your vaccinations are up to date.
- Get enough sleep. Fatigue weakens your body's ability to fight disease.
Travel Tips
- Talk to your doctor before visiting a foreign country. Your doctor may suggest vaccinations or medications to fight diseases you might encounter. You could also check the Travelers' Health page at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.
Source: CDC: Center for Disease Control and Prevention |
- Avoid local water in developing countries, especially if there is a current outbreak of infectious diseases. Drink commercially canned or bottled beverages.
- Don't swallow water while swimming or bathing.
- Don't put ice in your drinks. Some disease-causing organisms don't mind being frozen. As soon as they warm up, they go right back to making you sick!
- Use bottled water to brush your teeth.
- Eat only fruits that can be peeled. Nasty microbes sometimes live on the skin of fruit.

High Quality AA and AF
While we test all our games with maximum in-game settings, turning on Anti-Aliasing (AA) and Antistrophic Filtering (AF) helps take the intensity of our testing to another level.
Here we see video cards go from playable FPS to an unplayable FPS and the real power houses continue to help break that 60 FPS mark we always aim for to provide a smooth gaming experience.
Alien vs. Predator continues to be a game that plagues NVIDIA when it comes to performance and you can see again we're just below that 60 FPS average here with the JetStream GTX 670.
Mafia II and Far Cry 2 AA / AF performance is great, though.

Unsatisfied Fan Uses Tweets To Torment Players
By editor
Good morning. I'm David Greene with a tool for sports fans to torment pro athletes. It's called Twitter. The NBA's New York Knicks lost to the Indiana Pacers Tuesday night, falling further behind in their playoff series. Knicks shooting guard J.R. Smith took responsibility even though he has a cold. Fans? No sympathy.
A new Twitter account followed each shot he took. It's called Did J.R. Smith Miss? Yeah, said one tweet. Sure did, said the next. Another simply said: I mean, what do you think? It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

A BIG CONGRATS on 600 consecutive days! Awesome! Wow, another 100 days have passed, already! : ) For some it seems pretty easy to come back each day! But for most GBs they don't seem to have the dedication or the persistence it takes to come back and post gas prices each day for other GBs! Or they just run out of gas! :( Hang onto your speed lines, it only takes one day to lose them! I'm sure you know! But even clicking on a news link will save them, or if you went past midnight, LOG IN at www.hawaiigasprices.com and click on a news link there, it works! : ) Gives you an extra 6 hours after midnight! WARNING! Every day GBs lose their consecutive days for many reasons, many with big numbers! :( If you ever lose your consecutive days; that is NO FAULT of you own, please contact me! Keep posting each day to save your consecutive days! Keep going like an Indy PRO GasBuddy! Have a nice week! Thanks!
Hi! We are having our monthly 'coffee break' this Saturday at 10:30 - at Papa Roux on the east side. Check out the coffee break thread under Indiana discussions. Luv to see you there!
A BIG CONGRATS on reaching 1.5M and your nice red pickup! Keep going another 2 or 3 million or more! : ) Most new GBs will never make it to 1M, but you made it to1.5M! Really awesome! Many of the GBs ahead of you have already retired! You're doing great, so keep going! Don't give up now, like so many of the GBs that reached 1M and 2M, then retired! Only 1,537 GBs have made it to 2M, so there is room for you there also! Keep going like a Indy PRO GasBuddy! Have a nice week! Thanks!

I imagine you'd cook them separately for thorough doneness.
Then shred them together with caramelized onions and cheese
and pile it into a hoagie roll. Like a combo chicken and
steak cheesesteak.
Or an improvised shepherd's pie?
Or not.
A not-so-exhaustive ingredient search at allrecipes yielded
no recipes using the "turducken style" technique you
described. Beef and chicken did turn up recipes using ground
beef and chicken. Certainly not what you're trying to
Good luck,

As cadet life is a little bit different than that of a normal college student, there's a lot more to do and a lot more to keep track of. As you proceed further into your AFROTC career, especially the POC, you take on a lot more responsibility. The main goal of the program is to get your degree, so academics always come first but as a cadet you have agreed to take on more tasks than just that of classes. Most of this training occurs during Leadership Laboratory and Physical Training, which is only about four hours a week. Cadets are not always marching, training, or in uniform though, they are still college students and go to football games, hang out with friends, and have fun.
Along with regular Air Force ROTC activities there are numerous extracurricular activities as well. Arnold Air Society is a service oriented, honor society directly endorsed by the Air Force and AFROTC. Silver Wings is another organization devoted to service. This is the sister organization to Arnold Air Society but it allows you to work side by side with civilian members as this organization is open to anyone on campus. All these organizations give extra training, experience, skills, and esprit de corps between cadets, the university, and the community.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Luna!
Facts about Luna
- Breed: Husky Mix
- Color: White - With Gray Or Silver
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Luna's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, and up to date with shots.
Other Pets at Bitter Root Humane Association
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Luna, a Hamilton Husky dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Husky for sale in Hamilton, or seeking a Husky dog from a breeder in Hamilton.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Hamilton already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Hamilton breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Husky breeders who help with Husky rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Hamilton paves the way for another one to be saved.

Im from the UP of Michigan, transplanted out to CA by the military. Happily married with 2 kids. Im a stay at home mom right now. I really love looking at all of the recipes here on recipe zaar, they are quick and easy and dont have a million ingredients that go into each recipe, and that I love!
My family loves to eat my meatloaf of which i have several different recipes for. How can i pick a favorite food, I love them all. Although, being from the UP I do miss my hometown foods of pasties and cudighi and yummy congress restaurant/bar pizzas.
I do love to eat at On the Border Mexican restaurant because it is the place that my husband asked me to marry him.

My DH and I are just starting our information gathering for building a green/solar home. Back in the 70's while living in New England we were very interested in Solar Passive by the Shelter Institute. We were young and didn't have time to persue that dream. Well, now we do, however, things have changed in 30 years. Technology, needs, location, have all changed. I am finding there is a big difference between a northern design and a southern design.
A few questions that I have that I am hoping someone here can point us in the right direction: 1. Are there resources specific to southern living where the needs tend to be on cooling instead of heating. 2. Are there problems with finding land for building a home that would not meet the zoning codes? 3. How do you go about finding a contractor/builder? We currently live in Florida, and planning on staying in the state, but not necessarily in Orlando. If there are other southern states that have more tax incentives and are friendlier to this type of building, we would possibly consider that as well, like North Carolina.

Just over two years ago, Brazil complained that developed nations were engaging in an international 'currency war'.
Turns out that was just a minor skirmish. Now the big guns are coming out.
Japan is fed up with being the whipping boy of the foreign exchange markets. A strong yen will no longer be tolerated. This morning the Bank of Japan adopted a 2% inflation target and effectively promised to do whatever it takes to get there.
But Japan's not the only one. The Norwegians are now gently hinting that they don't appreciate the strong krone, which hit a record level earlier this month. And the South Koreans are really rather irritated by Japan's efforts to weaken the yen – their exporters have been the main beneficiaries of Japan's pain.
In short, it looks like the currency wars will only get hotter this year. So how can you prevent your portfolio from being shredded in the crossfire?
No one wants a strong currency
The idea behind the currency wars is very simple.
No country wants a strong currency. Loosely speaking, a strong currency is bad news for exports, because it makes them more expensive.
Here's the problem.
On the one hand, you have countries like Britain and the US. Britain may be the best example. During the boom years, it depended upon rampant consumption, government spending, and financial sector jiggery-pokery for economic growth.
Then the credit bubble popped. And those sectors are now in a slump from which they may never fully recover. The great hope for Britain is that it can make its manufacturing sector a much more significant driver of growth. That means trying to weaken the currency to boost exports.
Now there are lots of reasons why you could argue that this doesn't make much sense. The pound has already lost a lot of ground since 2007, and it hasn't exactly lead to a miraculous manufacturing revival. But that's the theory anyway.
So the heavily indebted 'consumer' countries want a weak currency because they want to 'rebalance' their economies towards exports. Another side-effect of a weak currency is that it boosts inflation, which helps the indebted to pay off their bills with devalued notes.
This is all very well. However, the export-driven countries don't want to stand around with their hands in their pockets while the consumer countries are printing money and chasing savers towards 'safe havens' like the Swiss franc or the Scandinavian countries – or even the yen.
If their currencies get too strong, they will start to lose business. The Japanese have lost a lot of ground to South Korea due to the strong yen, for example. Indeed, pressure from beleaguered Japanese manufacturers is one of the main reasons why Japan's politicians are finally trying to do something about deflation.
The Swiss, meanwhile, drew a line in the sand a while ago – explicitly saying that they wouldn't let the euro get any weaker against the Swissie. They ended up having to print a lot of money to stick to that promise, but they managed it. And as noted above, the Norwegians are starting to complain now too.
In short – everyone wants a weaker currency. But they can't all have one, all at the same time. So you can expect a lot of 'jawboning' (talking a currency down) and other unexpected interventions in the market this year, as each nation struggles for advantage.
So what can you do about it?
Of all the financial markets, I have to say I find currency markets the most fascinating. It's where you get to see reactions to economic and political announcements most rapidly. And it can sometimes give you a heads-up when a long-term trend is changing.
If you have strong feelings about a specific currency, the easiest way to follow your hunches is by spread betting the markets. Our trading expert John C Burford has a free email you should sign up to if this appeals – MoneyWeek Trader.
However, while spread betting the markets can be fun, for most of us it's not a realistic way to build a retirement pot. (Indeed, you can lose a great deal of money very quickly, so treat it with caution.)
One of the main lessons we all have to draw from recent years is that markets are now very much at the mercy of politicians and central banks (which are basically one and the same thing – except you don't get to vote on who runs the central bank). We like to call this era 'The Great Distortion'.
So while you can have strong views on which currencies will thrive and which won't (we'll be discussing our own views on this topic in a MoneyWeek magazine cover story in the next few weeks), it's very easy for your best-laid plans to be scuppered by a stray word or deed from an official.
As usual, the solution is to have a balanced portfolio. You don't want to pin all your hopes on one specific asset or country. Instead, you want a mix of exposure.
If you've been a MoneyWeek or Money Morning reader for a while, you probably already have a decent bit of money in European stocks, and Japanese stocks. You also probably hold many big blue-chip London-listed companies with overseas and US dollar earnings. We'd stick with those.
And if nations around the world keep trying to push down the value of their currencies, it should be good for the price of gold. We'd suggest having around 10% of your portfolio in gold as insurance – we wouldn't have more than that. Even if the dollar price doesn't move much, as a sterling investor, you'll probably be glad of your gold holding – my colleague Merryn Somerset Webb points out why in her latest column.

I have been trying to kill this pest for the past 2 years, but so far I have been unsuccessful. I've already tried these methods: Pulling, spraying leaves with Roundup and Brush-B-Gone, cutting the leaves and then spraying them, cutting stems and spraying, and I've even tried raking up the grass clippings after I mow my lawn and piling them on top of the ivy. All of these methods have either proved ineffective, or too time-consuming for me. My question is, is there any other effective ways of killing this stuff, or should I just give up? |
Follow-Up Postings:
There are ways to successfully control this plant. The subject has been discussed numerous times on Gardenweb over the past few years. The link below is a decent summary of many methods compiled by the Nature Conservancy. As for herbicide use for this, it is important that certain things are done for this to work well. For example, it usually takes the addition of a surfactant to the mix, and the use of herbicide label rates that are higher than would be used for easier to control weeds. You can get very good control though. |

PERSISTENCE. Trimming it back, spraying extra-strong weed killer with a dash of dishwashing soap on the new growth, and repeating this process frequently helped me get some out of control ivy to a manageable level. I hated using that much chemical, but the previous owner would've let it take over the house she hadn't sold it to me first! Good luck. |

Apply Roundup (with a dash of dish soap) once a week for 3 or 4 weeks. Then pull the plants from the roots. Some of the plants will re-emerge. Repeat the process on the ones that do. |

Also willing to pick up if you're located within an hour of Philadelphia or are along the route. Also, I'm 24 so if someone who's 25 or older is willing to rent the car, we can save some money. If I pick you up along the route the cost will be lower.
