O M G !!!!! If I had made that I think I would put away my sewing machine forever, figuring I could NEVER top it. It's a masterpiece and absolutely beautiful in the colors you chose. I now know that if I ever do one (not likely!) I will use neutrals and only one color in a variety of shades. This is stunning. Kate |
Oh, wow, Jayne! Magnificent! Is it completely finished? Is it all machine sewn? Are you going to enter it in any quilt shows? More questions...how big are the blocks? How big is the finished quilt? It's really beautiful...congratulations! Donna |
Wow, SPEECHLESS! Kay |
Jayne, your quilt is spectacular! I love the blues and browns. The lucky recipients will treasure it and pass it down through the generations. You should be very proud of yourself. |
Thank you but I can't say it is a well done. I made 12 blocks over and the points are perfect on some but it was a challenge all the way. 6" blocks:some PP, some with templates, some hand applique, and some just pieced.The quilt is about 112x80. It is just the top so far. I haven't decided about the borders, they may be wider then I like. Will bind with the dark brown. The drunkers path has 2" pcs. Which is one that was redone. There are 2 in the quilt with those curveds seams. The book was given to me and I felt I had to try it. I chose the fabric around a roll of dark brown FQ that I picked up and wasn't sure how to use. |
I keep coming back to look at this quilt! I think the individual blocks are 6", right? Are they all paper pieced? |
Your "Silvia" is gorgeous!!! I love your colors. I have been sitting here trying to decide what colors to use in an online quilt along. When I saw your quilt I knew what to do! I have scraps from my DD's DWR that are brown and blue. I will be interested to see your quilt when it is quilted. What a beautiful quilt! Linda OH |
That quilt just blows my mind. It is absolutely magnificent!! A prize winner all the way!!!!! Congratulations! Theresa |

Jayne, that quilt is stunning! Are any 2 blocks the same? You have great patience to complete that one. It really is beautiful. Sue |

WOW Just beautiful! I love blue and brown together. Been working on a blue and brown quilt too! What an accomplishment! Rebecca |

Saliva? Oh, sorry. wrong spelling! That's me drooling!! I've always loved the idea of this quilt, but hadn't even purchased the book. Yours turned out AMAZING!!! I do like your color scheme, and keep thinking about what I would choose. I love your choice of sashing! That two-tone sashing really sets off the blocks! Thanks so much for sharing this beauty with us all! I'll be sure to show everyone at retreat so they can drool too! |
- Posted by magothyrivergirl (My Page) on Wed, Oct 5, 11 at 20:21
I love it!! I bought the book when it came out, and was waiting for you to finish yours before I stared making one ~lol~if you have trouble with the blocks.......there's no hope for me :) This looks spectacular-definitely one of the prettiest color combinations I have seen. You should be proud! |
SPEECHLESS is right, LOL. Absolutely wonderful, gorgeous, spectacular, and I have too many superlatives to say! |
- Posted by teresa_nc7 (My Page) on Wed, Oct 5, 11 at 20:56
Oh my! Yes....I'm speechless - 6" blocks and each one sashed? Ohhhhh....this sashing challenged person is awestruck. You should feel very proud of yourself for this creation. |
I am pleased you all like it. The color isn't really a blue but teal and aqua. Sue, no 2 blocks are the same but some are simular. The sashing was put on that way because all of the 6 1/2" blocks weren't true and the brown was used to make them a true 7 1/2". The tan 1/2" to tie them together. Marsha I have no doubt you could make it but there are a few errows in the book to watch for. The patterns must have been written by several different people, some more talented then others. When I made it I wasn't sure who would get it but my DD mentioned that she would like a brown quilt so it will be hers if it ever gets quilted. Still not sure which way that will be. |
- Posted by bloomorelse (My Page) on Wed, Oct 5, 11 at 22:00
Wowwwwww, is all I can say. It's gorgeous. Your DD had better appreciate it. Be sure to show us once it's finished/ quilted. |
- Posted by toolgranny (My Page) on Wed, Oct 5, 11 at 22:35
What a wonderful job. I know how much time the blocks take and then I look at your sashing and can't imagine how you do it. I have 60 done and just gave up. Maybe I'll take it up again one day. Yours is beautiful. |
I called my husband over to look at it because I knew he'd appreciate it as well. Holy cow is all I can say. Beautiful choice of fabrics. |
It is stunning! TFS. ~Geraldine |

Absolutely beautiful!! It reminds me of the Dear Jane that I'm working on. I love the fabrics you used, too. Robbi |
Robbi, your Dear Jane in brights is the same quilt so this is what you have to look forward to! Yours will be beautiful as well. It's a huge commitment but when you see Nanajayne's you know it will be worth it! Kate |
I went to Google Images to look at some other Dear Jane quilts. I'm so intrigued by this because I haven't always been so impressed by this pattern, but now I understand why this one is so special! It's the block borders and sashing! I didn't see another image that had the individual dark borders around the blocks. That's the winning factor that pushes this quilt past our expectations. Kate |
- Posted by geezerfolks (My Page) on Thu, Oct 6, 11 at 9:46
I'm finding more and more quilt-alongs using this concept. Some are 4 1/2" and some 6".....Dear Jane, Farmer's Wife, Blocks from the Past and Sylvia. I suppose there are others, but how they're put together is really what makes the quilt pleasing to gaze upon....IMHO. Jayne did an awesome job using the dark frame and choice of colorway. SharonG/FL |
It's gorgeous! I'm in awe of the time and talent to make such a quilt. What a treasure. |
One of the things that I did a bit different with fabric was not using the same background fabric in all the blocks as some did. That is a way to tie them together but I wanted a more scrappy look and decided on using the dark brown to unite them. I didn't add the brown until the blocks were finished and had mixed feelings until I saw them put together. Kate, Dear Jane and Sylvia's Bridal arn't same but simular. (4 1/2 vs. 6 1/2)I have a DJ that I am pc. by hand. MUCH more difficult. That probably will never be finished. LOL |
It is stunning Jayne!!! I could not bear to part with it. It belongs in a museum, you MUST enter it into a show. An absolute masterpiece. How long di it take to complete?? I'll never post a pics again, I can't even try to compete with your talent LOL!!!!!!!! Rosa |
Thanks for setting me straight on the jane/sylvia thing. All this time I thought they were the same thing! |
- Posted by bozogardener (My Page) on Thu, Oct 6, 11 at 13:09
This is truly awesome. Great job! |
Beautiful! |
- Posted by faintheart (My Page) on Thu, Oct 6, 11 at 16:36
Jayne, your "sylvia" is amazing! I love the color combo you chose. What a wonderful accomplishment! Thank you for sharing this beauty. D |
Jayne: I clicked on the picture and it took me to your Photobucket page. Oh My! Everyone a stunner. You are one talented and prolific quilter. Beautiful! Beautiful! Theresa |
PS I sent a copy of the picture to my sister who is working an a Dear Jane. I am sure she is drooling over this one. Theresa |
Well I just now clicked on this one for the first time ever, and boy have I been missing something! Makes me want to just haul off and slap my grandma clean across her face! What a masterpiece, I don't know what else to say. If I made such a jewel, I would be afraid that the Angels would suddenly come down and declare "OK, time to go, you're finished here." WOW! |
Absolutely gorgeous Jayne! My DD would love it...her apt is decorated in turquoise and brown! Now that the fall fairs are over and my guild show is next week, you have motivated me to get mine out again. I am using purples and greens with a very faint purple background. A group of us from my guild get together once a month and have worked out a lot of the problems with the instructions for the blocks. I think 2 of the 15 or so of us has finished all of the blocks. Mine will be a WIP for some time I fear! Mary |
Mary!! I was missing you. Glad to see you posting again. Theresa |
Fall fairs and our upcoming guild show have kept me busy! Feels good to be missed! I WILL get working on my Sylvia's quilt....if I keep repeating it, it will happen! Mary |
Mary. I made 12 blocks over and there are several that probably should have been but as you know it is a challenge. Looking forward to seeing yours, it sounds like it will be very pretty. Would like to see those that your group made. It would have been a help to have their input. |
Jayne, absolutely stunning! I stalled with my SBQ at about 22 blocks. I'm so glad you mentioned that they weren't all the same size; I think that's what got me discouraged. I'm going to borrow your sashing idea because I love the way it frames each block rather than it all blending together. Again, WOW. You have accomplished an amazing feat. Dianne |
- Posted by quiltpartner (My Page) on Mon, Oct 10, 11 at 12:04
Everyone talked about this quilt at retreat & I hadn't seen it yet. SO AWESOME!!! I'm glad I popped in to see it - you did an amazing job!! |
Jayne, Your quilt is so amazing, beautiful, and INSPIRING! I seriously doubt I'll ever even attempt anything like that, but just looking at it inspires me to quilt more. Thank you, |
Jayne - Oh my goodness! I had to come back and look this up after reading it in the quilt-lift thread. Wow,wow,wow! Soooo, someone gave you the book and you felt you should try it?!? How long did this take you? AND you're working on a Dear Jane by hand??? Great job, great job, great job! Karlene |
Karlene, My dearest friend tries to feed my interest:books and quilting. I can't recall when I started on the quilt but I didn't get serious until this spring. At one point I was trying to do a block evey 2-3 days. Planning color, working the pattern and putting it together. Some were easier and I could do them a bit faster. As to Dear Jane, she will never be finished I am afraid. I am giving some consideration of rethining and maybe do some with the machine. Someone gave an interesting site with instructions. I think with different template I might have more success. Thank you for your interest. Jayne |
Jayne - how many blocks are there in a Dear Jane? What colors are you using in that one? It does seem to help keep the progress going on a quilt if you set a goal like finishing a set amount each day. I wouldn't give up on the Dear Jane - if you just got serious about the Sylvia's Bridal this spring, you were very productive! Karlene |
Karlene, There are 167 4 1/2" blocks and bordered with 108 cone shaped blocks and 4 corner cones. It states that there are 5602 pieces in the quilt. I have only made 19 of the sq. blocks. The prospect isn't very good that I will finish it as it is going. I may investigate another technique. I would like to do one. Thanks for the encouragement. Jayne |
I am blown away. It's gorgeous. |
This is the quilt my daughter Emily has asked me to make for her when she gets married. There's no men in sight yet (Praise God) Your "Sylvia" is beautiful and the colors are wonderful!!! Vicky~ |
Beautiful Jayne!!! |

Could someone please pick my lower jaw off of the floor for me? It dropped there when I say that quilt top. It is amazing!!! |

While reading this thread, I've gone back to view the OP a dozen times, at least. I think everyone has used up all the adjectives I had in mind. However, I can add that the quilt is surely "eye candy"!!! 140 blocks, and every one different...a masterpiece to be proud of. Have you added the borders and quilted it? You are an inspiration! Julie |
I was surprised to see this thread re-opened and pleased that you enjoy it. Julie. There will be no further borders but I am binding it with the dark brown. The 140 blocks are quilted by hand, each different with the hope they can stand alone in the crowd. lol The next step is to machine quilt the sashing ITD, then I will hand quilt the border and bind the edge. Thank you again for you kind words, I wish I could be prouder of the workmanship but accepted the fact that it isn't perfect. |

BEST FRIED DUMPLINGS Denver 2006 - Szechuan Chinese
Denver is full of dumplings. And not just Chinese pot stickers, but gyoza and shumai, pierogi and momo and samosas and every other ethnic dumpling derivative you can think of. But the best dumplings in town are hidden away in a Lakewood strip mall at Szechuan Chinese. These dumplings are huge and crisp-skinned, stuffed with excellent, slightly gingery pork paste and served six to an order alongside a salty, spicy soy sauce that perfectly complements the plump packages without overwhelming their surprisingly delicate and complex flavor.

Last Sunday morning, I zip-lined through a South American jungle, shot and killed several enemies, grabbed a fully loaded rocket launcher, and blew up a jeep filled with incoming hostiles. Once clear, I crept to an enemy occupied mansion that held the lost treasure I planned to steal. I climbed undetected up the side of the structure, pulled out my silencer, dispatched more enemies, grabbed the treasure, and bounced!
Thirty minutes later, I had a champagne brunch with my girlfriends.

THE French Ambassador to Tonga His Excellency Gilles Montagier today extended a condolence message to the Legislative Assembly for the passing of his Majesty King George Tupou V.
His Excellency Montagnier conveyed this when he called on the Hon. Deputy Speaker of the House Lord Tu'i'afitu this morning.
"I would like to convey a sincere condolence to the Legislative Assembly on behalf of the French government for the sudden death of late King George Tupou V in Hongkong.
Tonga and France has a close and long standing relationship dated back to the signing of a treaty between the two countries in 1855," said the visiting diplomat.
The French Ambassador met with Lord Tu'i'afitu and the Clerk of the Legislative Assembly Sione Tekiteki at the Parliament's conference room.
HE Montagnier is also accredited as the French Ambassador to Fiji, Kiribati and Tuvalu.
Meanwhile Radio Tonga news reports his Majesty's body is scheduled to arrive in Tonga next Monday, (March 26th). His body will lie in state for two days in the Royal Palace residence before his state funeral next Wednesday, March 28th.
At the same time, one cabinet minister Lord Ma'afu is leading a three member government delegation to Hong Kong to accompany back the king's body to Tonga. Other members are Lord Fakafanua and Foreign Affairs Secretary Mahe'uli'uli Tupouniua.
Three months mourning period for the king's death has been confirmed starting from Sunday March 18th through to June 19th 2012.

We are rebuilding a house (teardown) and we reused the front porch which has a concrete deck that is over a portion of the garage (garage is in the basement). The original homeowner glued down indoor/outdoor carpet. This caused some spalling of the surface. The surface is flat with no significant slope. There are a couple of low spots with slight pooling after rain. We would like to cover the porch deck with tile and are looking for any dos or don'ts, best products to use, and what to do to waterproof the interface between the porch deck and the house. The stucco guy is chomping at the bit to get the stucco on. Do we need to increase the slope and if so, how. Otherwise I was going to use a leveling product to fill in the area of spalling and raise the area of pooling. There are two hairline cracks that are full thickness through the slab. Do we need to caulk these some how or will using a membrane like ditra take care of that issue? The tile would get wrapped around the porch apron with slightly recessed brick walls beneath with will be covered with foam and stucco so the tile will still be slightly proud of the stucco below, but probably only by 1/2 to 3/4". Will we need to incorporate a drip edge at the interface of the tile and stucco? Thanks |

Sounds difficult to do without risking cracking along the hairline cracks. Hard to advise you without seeing it. I realy can't get a mental picture of what you are dealing with. I can tell you that I usually slope 1/4 inch per foot. |
- Posted by SouthernCanuck (My Page) on Thu, Jun 20, 13 at 12:50
Tiling over a significant cracks usually result in cracked tiles. I would post your query on the tiling forum that ends in Bridge and the first name is John. And ends with .com. There is a reason I can't name the forum here on GW. |
CB - I'll see if I can snap a photo tomorrow and post it. SC - Thanks, I will check the recommended tiling forum. |

call the township office.. click into the fire dept phone machine.. give them name.. address phone.. and what you are burning..
then light it ... though she does not appear happy to be out there at the crack of dawn.. when there is no wind... neighbors stuff is 100 feet back ... and then it really gets going |

its sand.. its never moist.. but it was 7:30'ish am .. so it was very dewy ... ken |
Speaking of dew, I've yet to have any on the grass in over two weeks (waiting to apply my fert/weed killer). It has been bone dry and those weeds are going ape shizza in my yard. I tell ya the quality of grass seed these builders use is terrible. Opps, highjacked your thread! Eitherway nice flame height. |
I would've ground it up and composted it or used for mulch, but not everybody wants to play around like that I guess. They want it gone right away. You can still use the ash Sparingly for your garden unless you used an accelerant like gas or kero. |
The part of Michigan I lived in 14 years ago had a "NO BURNING ORDINANCE" No if, ands or buts , period! When we moved there in '89 everybody burned anytime and anything they wanted rid of. A breath of smokeless air from September to December was not to be found. So the ordinance was good...but what to do with all the yard waste sure was difficult. Composting, mulch, is good, but you can only use so much. |
- Posted by ricksample 6 (My Page) on Thu, May 24, 12 at 11:34
That's one large fire... does your township require you to call the fire dept or do you do it just incase? I sure hope my township doesn't require it... I've been burning stuff all year out there lol. |
- Posted by salicaceae z8b FL (My Page) on Thu, May 24, 12 at 11:53
I do this all the time Ken too. Here, I don't even get permission. I just light up. I live way out in the country and never had a problem. I actually burn on top of a gas pipeline! It so much more convenient to live in the country. In the city, people would complain about a tiny amount of smoke from a camp fire ring or even a charcoal grill! |

Why is it people who would never put chemicals on their lawn, think nothing of polluting the air? |
- Posted by ricksample 6 (My Page) on Thu, May 24, 12 at 12:36
I agree poluluting sucks... To some point, it's a natural thing. Especially with large forest fires that we put out. I always thinks about polluting when I burn fires... but there is nothing I can do about it. We could pay hundreds or thousands for someone to come in with a dump truck and haul everything to a landfield, but that wouldn't be practical. Both money and time. Not to mention the amount of trees Ken has planted and the amount of trees I have plantd - The added trees kind of balance everything out. |
ILMT, do you drive a car? Own a refrigerator? How about use hair spray? John |
I'm lazy. I pull the thicker woody parts out, and generally either put in cans for the yard waste pickup truck, or if its softer material, grind it with the lawn mower and use for mulch. |
Ken I think you forgot to yell OPAAA once you lit the fire - if any of you have ever visited a Greek restaurant - you know what I mean... |
We mostly haul it to the periphery of our property where it is windrowed. It becomes cover and home for wildlife and eventually decomposes naturally. Larger limbs are cut down and stacked for use in the chiminea or given to people who can use it for firewood. We do have an 'industrial sized' chipper/shredder as well but have not needed to fire it up for a long time. It's been years since we had to do any type of burn-off. I just happened on to a local site with the EPA regs and they're a lot more restrictive than you can imagine and each state or local governement can add more restrictions. Land clearing waste can be burnt here in rural aras, but there are no-burn times due to weather conditions and distances have to be maintained from structures. I'd recommend anyone who does burning to check their locality's regulations. It's more restrictive than you may imagine and all's it takes is one complaint from somebody down the road. |

At the risk of seeming like a nag, I'd suggest that what's seen in the photos is the most dangerous of all ways to burn brush. A small fire to which the woody material is gradually fed is much, much safer than creating a roaring inferno 100 feet(!) from a neighbor. Putting a huge quantity of hot embers into the air even on a windless day is very risky thing to do which can eventually lead to a tragic accident, even "in the country". It's also highly recommended to have a live hose at hand when doing any sort of burning outdoors. |
Hopefully, the early morning temperatures are too chilly for windows to be open throughout the neighborhood! That kind of smoke (stink) coming into my home would be a real problem. Municipalities vary widely regarding open burning. Though I, too, live in the 'country '...meaning outside City jurisdiction, there are still strict burning restrictions. I believe that we are in a "No Burn " time now since it has been so dry. Though ken has followed the proper steps (in his location) for legal burning, I'll that some of the neighbors weren't happy that morning. |
I forgot to mention that my county also has curbside removal of this kind if debris. You can drag your cut up 'bio mass ' to the curb, along with the junk left over from the garage sale, the burned out microwave, rickety furniture, etc. Ken may not have that kind of service. |
rhizo, I don't see very much smoke. Looks like the pile was fairly dry and it burned 'hot'. Burning wet leaves or green branches in the Fall with no wind is when you pollute the neighborhood. Mike |
I live in the "country" and I hate it when people burn brush. The smell drifts for a long way and spoils the enjoyment of being outdoors if it is strong. Not to mention the air pollution, of course. And the fact that it have been ground up and used for compost or to create a brush pile for birds. We do have a burn ban starting May 1st in my area. |

Ken, I share your glee. I also have the advantage of whacking at a stand of bamboo, trying to control it. I cut as much as I have the time for, stack it with stuff I don't want to compost (Walnut trimmings, branches, Aralia trunks, holly branches, etc.) and set it alight. My biggest problem is the popping of the bamboo. I wait until my neighbor takes one dog in. Dog barks every time a bamboo section pops. I have a mulch pile, a stone pile and a dirt pile for when I need stone/dirt/mulch. I also have a burn pile. People who don't have 200 trees to take care of can talk to me about mulching everything. Trying to pile all that up would cover 1/2 my land. And I refuse to encourage varmits like rabbits and groundhogs. Both are here in plague proportions, only the coyotes make them scared. Burn piles are nice. |

Nice fire. I usually like to throw a few hitchhikers into the pile to get rid of the evidence :) We can burn where I live, but that might be pushing it in my small backyard. I burned up our Christmas tree from last Christmas. Man does those conifer trees burn. I was tossing in one branch at a time and the flames would just shoot skyward. Fun stuff. Too bad I stunk like campfire when i was done. |
Is a large land fill any less of a pollution problem than a small fire on the back of your property. The landfill will be there for years, and have to be continually monitored. It will probably leak before all of the material has decomposed, if it ever does. A small fire on the back of your property consumes the debris in a matter of hours and leave potash that can be distributed on the yard. You can also invite your neighbors and have a party. You can cook hot dogs, and marshmallows. If you are really full of energy you can make s'mores. Just like a college football bondfire in your back yard everybody has fun. |
Air pollution, knuttle. |

Air pollution? nawwwww... Really, though, when fires burn across the prairie and through woodlands, it's called "regeneration". When I light a pile of branches on fire, it's frowned upon as air pollution. Go figure. I live in the "country", as well - I don't know if open burning is allowed, but everyone does it from time to time - Best way to get rid of a big pile of brush, as far as I'm concerned. The ashes are a decent lime alternative, supplying much more potassium, which is often defficient in soils around here. No problemo, Ken! |

Hey, all of you guys, if you have alkaline soil like we do, you don't want any potash on your dirt. Nothing will grow there for a long time. When I was a kid and we lived out in the country, I was playing around with fire and I almost burnt the whole countryside. Man I was one scared ten year old, I was stomping it out no less with cheap 70's plastic cowboy boots. I learned a lesson that day. None of the adults found out how the thirty foot circle of burnt area suddenly appeared... Mackel |

Either way seems natural. In Missouri it is typically damp enough we can burn in the country as long as anyone who may notice is notified. Now in a low moisture area like Colorado you must be careful. While I was there this spring wildfires and no burns were all the news. Environmental concerns? I dunno...... |
We have a place like that too, where they have a machine called the beast that chews up big logs like they're sticks. We burn here too, Saturday and Wednesday are the days allowed but everyone does it whenever they want. I'm in the country, but have neighbors around too. I got my own shredder/ chipper, but like to get the free stuff. The guy that works there acts like he's the compost site "Sherrif" and I am messing with his territory. Eventually he got used to me coming there and goes about his business. I guess it was odd seeing a woman in a tiny hatchback filling containers of ground up trees and fall leaves. |
"...Republicans who love big government..." might want to rethink that statement ;) John |
Ironically, had Ken drove off, rented a wood chipper, brought it back, run it & returned it, he'd have caused considerable air pollution and consumed non-replenishable fossil fuel. Perhaps he took a natural approach. Seems like no matter what you do, you're not going to make everybody happy. You got some great photos of that fire, though. Very nice. Richard. |
Burning stuff just seems so ... 19th century. |

Department of Homeland Security / Corpse of Engineers floodplain development / Stadium Welfare Bank Bailout types. Then you set them loose in freedom loving Texas and they create HOAs or use government regs to keep the good people of Oregon from being able to get some suicide assistance for cancer patients.

Fire is and always has been a natural phenomenon. In fact, it is the lack of fire that threatens ecosystems throughout North America. I'm surprised that people actually think the tiny amount of smoke created by a bonfire somehow contributes to pollution! Do you have any idea what ppm of atmospheric particulate matter are created from a typical bonfire? |
Ohh boy Ken... Youve got one stirred up here with that little brush pile!!! burn baby burn! |
Doesn't make me any difference whether people burn or not, as long as it's not old tires or crap. You want to talk a nasty fire? I had a pile of chicken manure and straw aging out to spread on the garden, and it spontaneously combusted. rofl. Now, that's a nasty fire. |

Get off the high horse....just because you can light a great big ol ' fire doesn 't mean all your neighbors are going to love you for it. LOL At least you didn't add a bunch of treated lumber, the contents of your rat traps, grass clippings, fresh prunings, garbage and some of the other fine stuff often tossed into back yard burn piles. You 're a high class redneck and that's a compliment.

Sam, that is some good stuff! My village has the same thing as far as drop off and mulching but no compost like that! |
- Posted by duluthinbloomz4 zone 4a (My Page) on Mon, May 28, 12 at 16:54
We have a drop off facility too. Time was you could get wood chips, but that stopped because the stuff was full of chewed up buckthorn. We can get beautiful compost though (although I make my own) at a small charge... little source of revenue for an otherwise free facility. There's no open burning here, although I've been known to dispatch a cut up branch or two in an old Weber Kettle on my patio. I remember the days of old, all the dads raking the fall leaves out to the curb and lighting it up. Seemed like a neighborhood ritual. |
That is one thing I really despise...burning leaves! I never understood when folks would rake them all up, struggle to put them in a bag just to put them in one big pile to burn. Just mulch the dang leaves into the ground! Even if it takes a couple times due to the volume of leaves. I blow some of the leaves from my four 50' lindens on the side yard over into the front yard just so I can mulch them in. |
Regarding my county's composting facility, I can see only good coming out of it. You should see the mountain of Christmas trees there in January. When the compost is "cooking" it gets hot, really hot, enough to kill all weed seeds, fungi and bacteria. The only thing that they add to it is water. We scarf it up as quickly as they make it. |
I can take compost at ours but you have to sift it yourself. You're lucky yours is pre-sifted Sam. I guess getting any free compost, one should'nt find fault. I can grind up the big peices with the big shredder. |
- Posted by toronado3800 Z6 St. Louis (My Page) on Mon, Jun 4, 12 at 1:41
We'd always leave the brush piles alone on the farm, since they served as excellent habitat for wildlife. A few good-sized brush piles like that spread around our farm yielded LOTS of tasty rabbits come fall hunting season :-) |

Physicians Are Talking About: The Million Med March on Washington
0Sep 22, '09 by sirI, MSN, APRN, NP Admin"I'm tired, mad as hell, and just not going to take it anymore," says Richard Chudacoff, MD, a gynecologist from Las Vegas. "I am going to Washington, DC. At noon, on Thursday, October 1, 2009, I will be on the Mall with a few other physicians."
"Perhaps we will show the country that physicians are worth more than a $5 copay; that physicians are more important than a mid-level healthcare worker; and that our profession is needed, our services are required, and our practice is a calling to be respected, not a trade that is to be negotiated to the lowest bidder."

3Sep 23, '09 by coco3299What are these doctors talking about anyway? As if seeing patients for 10 minutes and leaving the nurses to do the rest of the work is cause for complaint! With the implementation of multi disciplinary care doctors pass their problems along with their 'consult GI' or 'consult Cardiology.' I'm referring to Internal Medicine here. So whoo hoo if they actually have to work these days. Nurses run day and night on that floor. I understand their concern as being a doctor was once regarded as one of the highest professions in the land, but those days are surely coming to an end, as they should. No more milking Medicare for the big bucks letting grandma sit in the hospital for two weeks with ASTHMA. So what are they complaining about again?
1Sep 23, '09 by azhiker96What they are talking about is the decrease in reimbursement they get from Medicare/Medicaid. They are talking about how insurance companies are reducing their reimbursements to match what our government pays. They are talking about increasing malpractice premiums and other costs of doing business. These things are real and doctors are leaving the practice of medicine.

Clear-Com at the San Diego Opera, Part 1
Nov 12, 2013 11:17 AM, With Bennett Liles
And you had a recent addition I believe, the Tempest 2400 digital wireless intercom from Clear-Com. What's been the biggest improvement that you've seen with the addition of that wireless system?
Probably the biggest improvement is the lack of interference. You know, not having the communication stepped on by other wireless entities that are outside of our company that we can't control. That was always a problem. Range was another problem with the UHF systems, people getting out of range. It's kind of hard to imagine if you haven't worked in the environment, but opera is so vast in terms of the personnel that it takes to put on a show that communications are just needed virtually every place in the theater and they all need to be in touch with management, whether it's stage management or production management, whoever. It all has to be tied together. The Tempest 2400 has just given us all the versatility we need to do that because with the UHF system, you were tied to at most two channels. Well with the 2400 you have four channels. You don't have people talking over one another. You have people on discreet channels that are just listening for what they need to listen to. Opera production is very complicated and it takes a complicated system to make it, I guess, less complicated for lack of a better word. [Timestamp: 6:59]
That's a lot of RF floating around there what with mics and intercom and other things.
It's a tremendously heavy RF environment. Like any major city in a downtown area, you have just countless potential for RF interference with everything from the way you expect with the police and fire and all that, but then like in San Diego, we have the Navy, which is an incredible entity using RF in our environment. And of course being a large city we have the full complement of digital television transmissions and yes, it's a very, very heavy RF environment. [Timestamp: 7:38]
That would be a big factor in setting the system up, but then you've got the frequency-hopping scheme that the Tempest 2400 works on so that probably makes things a little easier.
Right. I mean as a user you're not really aware of the frequency hopping, it just does its job. And so you don't have that type of interference that we used to have; the squelch in your ear and so forth that everybody always would think that something was wrong with the system as soon as they heard it. There was always that type of situation, but that has gone to zero with the Tempest system. [Timestamp: 8:13]
And with its seamless roaming I think you can walk through something like 16 different coverage areas with no drop-outs.
I don't know if that's the maximum, but we certainly have established the zones that we need. If you're in proximity to a base station, you have no problem connecting to it and transmitting and receiving from it. But if you go to an area that's not in the influence of that particular base station, you would be out of range. But if you remote the antennas off of that base station into the area, then when you walk into that area you are still connected. The way that's done is just by literally taking the antennas and placing them in whatever area you need to access. In our case it's the rehearsal hall, the trap room, or the basement, the dressing rooms, the stage management offices, which are on the second floor of the theater. We need consistent communication in all of those areas. [Timestamp: 9:16]
Do you run coax to those?
You run Cat cable. You either run Cat-5 or Cat-6 cable to that antenna off the back of the base station and that's all it takes. It couldn't be simpler.
Sounds like it and once you get it set up and all the wiring dressed away it's just dealing with all the different users. How do you have the channels assigned between lighting people and sound, set people and all of those?
With the Tempest system, you have either a 4-channel beltpack or you have a 2-channel beltpack. The 2-channel beltpacks can be assigned to any of the same channels that the four channels are assigned to. In other words, the four channels A, B, C and D, your two channel can be assigned to B and C or even C and D or A and D—whatever you choose. It's really so simple to do that. The way we have it broken out is what you expect. Stage management is on channel A. They're the most important factor in the production and everybody needs to know where to find them and so they basically are on channel A. And then B might be the prop department and they need to talk amongst themselves so they may just be on B. Our electrics crew is on C and channel D would be our carpenter crew. So somebody like myself, I just generally stay on A because people that are going to directly communicate with me most often will be stage management. So it just depends on who you need to listen to, but it's just simplified the whole process. [Timestamp: 10:50]
Did you already have an existing Clear-Com system that you integrated the Tempest into?
In the theater and the opera company we have always had Clear-Com. It's bulletproof equipment permanently installed in the theater. I have the same amplifier that I've been using for 30 years. It's been on virtually every day. It does not quit. I've never had a service call on that equipment. [Timestamp: 11:12]
That's pretty much what I hear from everybody.
Why would you use anything else? This stuff is amazing. And so we expect the same results out of the Tempest. I had used a Clear-Com wireless product that I purchased over 20 years ago and it was a VHF wireless system and it was a six-beltpack system, and it was a fabulous system. That one is still working. If I need to I'll pull that out of storage at this point and integrate it right into the system without thinking a thing about it because it's VHF, so it's still available frequencies and it still works. And I may need it because believe it or not, I can put 25-plus people on wireless for a production. All of a sudden they want six carpenters doing this particular thing, moving this particular unit, and so they've got to be on wireless. They can't be dragging cables across the stage. And yes, the whole system is integrated into a wired system. I happen to have a 4-channel wired system and it connects to it just beautifully. [Timestamp: 12:21]
When you brought the new system in and set it up, how did everybody take to it? Was the learning curve manageable?
The quick overview I gave them was, "Here's your volume; here's your talk button and here's how you change channels." And then I went to each person and took time to ask them what they needed and it's all available right there on the beltpack. With the push of a couple of buttons I set the thing to do exactly what they want it to do. Not only that is you have the software, so I can literally see every beltpack and every base station and what it's doing in realtime. [Timestamp: 13:01]
Makes all the difference when you can concentrate on communication and not on how to handle the communication. Appreciate your telling us about it, Bill. Bill Scott with the San Diego Opera and their new Clear-Com Tempest 2400 digital wireless intercom system. We'll talk later about how you get set up for a show. Thanks for being with us.
Thank you.

Whether or not we consciously think of it, our fingernails can add to, or diminish from, our appearance. The way they look says something about us, to others. Our nails can say that we are either clean or slovenly. As quiet as it is kept, our fingernails can also alert others about our attention to detail, or not. The appearance of our fingernails can also lead others to believe that we take time for ourselves, or not.
Now there is no law that says Ethnic Beauties must purchase or have artificial nails applied to look pulled together, because the truth is natural nails are often most beautiful. They need care however, for their primary function is protection. Our fingernails not only cover the tips of our fingers which may be sensitive, but because our fingernails are firm, they also aid us to do many things. Like our hair and skin, our natural nails are made up of a protein called keratin and are comprised of different parts. There is the nail bed, which is the soft tissue that lies beneath the fingernail. The nail plate is the hard part that is readily seen. Then there are our cuticles, the clear membrane that overlaps a portion of our nail plate. Our fingernails also have what is called a matrix (and you thought that was only a movie) which manufactures the cells that form the nail plate.
In order to keep all the components of our nails healthy, we need protein and zinc in our diet. Our nails also need water, as does every other system in or bodies. Iron keeps our nails from becoming brittle, calcium is necessary, and the B vitamins are also great nail boosters, because they promote cell growth and aid our bodys circulatory system. Most of these necessary vitamins are found in a lot of the yummy foods that we eat.
Now to protect our natural nails...We should avoid biting, pulling, or nibbling at our cuticles. Our hands should also not be immersed in chemical solutions, because harsh agents have drying effects which can often weaken our natural nails. Wearing rubber gloves while doing household chores, or even while puttering in the garden is a good idea, and will provide much needed protection. We should also trim our fingernails, not when they are dry, but after a bath or shower because then they are soft and less likely to crack. After being immersed in water, we should not only moisturize our hands, but our natural nails as well as our cuticles. Before we sleep, moisturizer is recommended. Don't forget, when manicuring natural nails, we should be mindful of our cuticles. If pushed back too far, the cuticle, the protective membrane, can no longer keep us from contracting infection. When we file our natural nails it is advisable to do so in one direction. This may take some getting used to, because many of us -- myself included -- have an ingrained tendency to saw back and forth. However, doing so can cause the fingernails to become splintered or to unbecomingly split.
Natural nails have a luster all their own, but for added shine, try a coat or two of clear polish. Either you or a professional can apply. Polish with a rosy tint can mimic the look of healthy fingernails. One thing to remember though is that nail polish remover containing acetone is harsh, and can dry out natural nails. Therefore, acetone-free remover is a good way to go. Natural nails may occasionally need shaping. Make sure you follow the basic shape of the finger, and don't work too much on the sides, or the nail may weaken and easily but painfully break. No opening beverage or catfood cans using the fingernails -- a great way to also break them. Keeping natural nails clean, and following these simple easy tips will yield rewards. Doing so will also show you, and others, that there is nothing so lovely as a hand with uniformed, tapered, clean, natural nails -- fingernails that say you actually do care...about quite a few things -- one of them being you!

Introduction Side-effects don't fit together very well with functional-style delayed computation, as observed in LINQ. Having such constructs embedded in an otherwise eagerly evaluated imperative language like C# can cause quite some confusion from time to time. Show More Summary
A Belgian friend of mine was looking up my obsession on lambda calculus and came across this Dutch wiki page. Reminds me of exactly the same mistake 5 years ago: [FUNNY] Rule one when translating software - review the translation. Taking the opportunity to introduce a new IIgnorable blog category for the rare occasions I feel the urge to post nonsense.
Introduction A while back, I blogged about (Mis)using C# 4.0 Dynamic – Type-Free Lambda Calculus, Church Numerals, and more which was a fun post and got some good feedback and solid reading numbers. So, let's continue our journey ofShow More Summary
I promise, it will be a (relatively) short post this time. You all know the foreach statement in C#, don't you? Think twice before you answer and tell me exactly how the following works: foreach (int x in src) { // Do something with x. Show More Summary
Introduction Sunday morning, time for another episode of the Crazy Sundays series. Again one in the category with risk for exploding brains, but that's what we like, don't we? This time around, we're going to have a look at the type free lambda calculus in C#. Show More Summary
Introduction Avid blog readers know I have a weak spot for expression trees in particular and the broader picture of meta-programming facilities. With the introducing of LINQ in the.NET Framework 3.5 timeframe, we ended up adding expression trees to the framework as a way to represent code as data. Show More Summary
Introduction In my last post, Expression Trees, Take Two – Introducing System.Linq.Expressions v4.0, I showed how to the extensions to the LINQ expression trees API opens up for full-blown statement trees including support for assignment, control flow, etc. Show More Summary
Introduction In the latest episode in this series I talked about hypothetical compile-time rewriting facilities that would be used to turn our intermediate representation of control-flow driven code using our Control Library into efficient IL code. Show More Summary
Introduction In the last installment of our control library exploration, we kept things relatively simply by looking at the if-statement. In fact, we avoided a bunch of complications that have to do with non-local return constructs like break, continue and return (and put throw on that pile as well if you like). Show More Summary
Wow, can't believe how long the blog silence over here has been. Things have been quite hectic on my side the last few months, virtually running two jobs in parallel. One to cooperate in shipping our upcoming.NET 4.0 release, and one...Show More Summary
Saturday evening, 10:30 PM, Seattle time. Window 7 RC's audio stack is pumping music from the Internet Explorer process to the laptop speakers, the process manager boosts Word 2007 with foreground priority. Bart is writing something yet unannounced. Show More Summary
Weekends are for hacking up crazy ideas (and so are evenings). This weekend was no different; amongst other things I got around to implement an Unlambda interpreter in C#. A what? Let's talk about that first. Warning: Reading this post can cause permanent brain damage. Show More Summary
Introduction Declarative language constructs like query comprehension syntax often worries imperatively trained developers. I hear this quite a bit, and the excuse of "It Just Works" is often not satisfactory for most of them :-). Combine this with interesting behavioral differences like lazy evaluation and lots of developers get lost in paradise. Show More Summary
Introduction Last time around in this blog category we looked at using Z3 for testing satisfiability of simple Boolean logic expressions. Obviously Z3 is capable of doing much more, so this time we'll reach out to the domain of integer value arithmetic. Show More Summary
A while back I posted Type Theory Essentials in Pictures – Part 1 – Quiz, a series of non-annotated pictures representing concepts from type theory. Though the first part was intended to be simple, I got some feedback that people were puzzled about it… So let's go ahead and explain it today. Show More Summary
Introduction Today I'm going to deviate from the typical path of mainstream technologies I normally cover and enter the domain of research instead. But very interesting and active research, with lots of practical implementations it turns out: theorem provers. A little story first. Show More Summary
From a hotel lobby in the sunny city of Durban, South-Africa, waiting for my plane transfer after a great TechEd Africa event. Why not write a blog post on one of my talks: the Managed Extensibility Framework, or MEF. As we steam ahead to release.NET 4.0, it's great to see the amount of new APIs that will make it into this release. Show More Summary

Ruthie's Veggie Cookbook!
These are all relatively simple veggie meals we eat in our house on a regular basis. My main goals are for meals to be inexpensive, tasty and easy to prepare. :-)
(7 Recipes) Created by TRIATHLONRUTHIE
Recipes in this Collection
This is a veganized version of the corn bread recipe that came on the bag of cornmeal. I had been making it for awhile and then found out my husband's family had used the same recipe for years. It's sweet, northern style, and somewhat crumbly. Great in soups and chili, or for breakfast with jam. Submitted by TRIATHLONRUTHIE Carbs: 28.5g | Fat: 7.1g | Fiber: 1.5g | Protein: 3.4g | Calories: 188.6
This is about the easiest method of making chili that I know of. It's great with cornbread and some veggies on the side. We almost always double or quadruple this recipe because it freezes well. Submitted by TRIATHLONRUTHIE Carbs: 52.1g | Fat: 1.2g | Fiber: 13.3g | Protein: 18.6g | Calories: 282.6
This recipe takes cheap, plain spaghetti sauce and makes it into a vegan meaty, creamy, tangy sauce. Submitted by TRIATHLONRUTHIE Carbs: 20g | Fat: 4.2g | Fiber: 9.1g | Protein: 17g | Calories: 175.8
This is basic split pea soup and one of my husbands favorite foods. Cooks very fast in a pressure cooker or all day in the slow cooker. We love it with biscuits, home made fries or millet cakes. Submitted by TRIATHLONRUTHIE Carbs: 33.5g | Fat: 0.6g | Fiber: 12.2g | Protein: 11.9g | Calories: 180.3
This recipe came from my friend Emmy. It's delicious! The original recipe called for 2 tsp sugar and 2 more tablespoons oil, but we find it to be great without. Submitted by TRIATHLONRUTHIE Carbs: 18.3g | Fat: 14.5g | Fiber: 6.7g | Protein: 16.2g | Calories: 245.4
This is the filling we like to use for whole wheat or corn tortillas. You can also add some brown rice. Submitted by TRIATHLONRUTHIE Carbs: 30g | Fat: 1.2g | Fiber: 10.2g | Protein: 9.9g | Calories: 161.7

We are in the midst of an evolution. Since you're reading this website, I'm sure you're aware of it by now. Countless trend pieces have been penned in dedication to these young producers, all sporting UK ties, who have used bass music as a launching pad to venture into the darker recesses of techno. And with this most recent effort for the acutely curated Works The Long Nights label, Midland and Pariah have managed to etch themselves firmly alongside contemporaries like Blawan and Objekt as already established purveyors of bass now taking a plunge into that abyss, sans abandon. The untitled A-side starts with a slight pitter-pattering kick, not very indicative of the destruction to come, but from there, things become a bit unhinged. A scraping drum pattern gives way to a walloping hump of a beat and a vocal sample bent to ride on top of the 4/4 propulsion. The detached moan arrives concurrently with the climax and seems to be stating "heaven, heaven" over and over again, although the overall vibe is about the furthest thing from celestial. A masterclass in build, the patient lead-in and understated outro almost guarantee this a peak-time slot in many a ballistic set to come.
If the A is about careful construction, than the B-side, also untitled, reads like the direct inverse. A caustically creepy half-minute ambient intro sets the scene and then they're off. With a barreling, double-time rhythm accentuated by a mighty cymbal clop, the track is likely to evoke a number of decapitations via over-enthused head-banging. And unlike it's flip, the peak actually arrives when the clipping slows to a crawl, inducing a panic-stricken weight of tension, allowing for a more voracious return to form when the duo resurrect the vibe. Notably more menacing than anything released from the supposed standard bearers of hardened techno in recent memory, it's probably due time that we stop envisioning Midland, Pariah, and the like as fledgling techno producers and begin hailing them amongst the best doing it right now.

Kevin Costner is teeing off again. The ''Tin Cup'' star is planning another golf-themed romantic comedy, Variety reports. The actor, whose Western ''Open Range'' opens on Aug. 15, even has a putting partner lined up: Michelle Pfeiffer.
The film is called ''Taming Ben Taylor.'' It's a remake of an Italian comedy from the 1980s about a lovelorn vintner (Costner's role) who finds romance with a tough-minded Realtor (Pfeiffer's role) who aims to turn his winery into a golf course. In other words, the story is only tangentially about golf, which is good news for viewers whose eyes glaze over at the thought of watching Costner and Pfeiffer replace divots.
