Sign me up. I love getting in front of Linda! And I believe I have a pillow front of quilted and ready to go, if the fabric is correct. I'll have to check. |

***watching the feathers floating in the air*** This sounds like a lot of fun! Count me in! (smacking everyone with my pillow. it's been a while since I've been in a pillow fight...) |

Welcome to the feather tossing, everyone! :) I'm not sure I'll be able to play...I'll know by the deadline, though! Until then...I'll just duck & cover! Spittin' feathers: Hidin' behind the couch (for now): |
Achoo! Achoo! Thanks, Linda and Dan. Now I'm covered in feathers and I'm allergic. LOL |

There's a commercial for a local law firm on TV right now..It starts out with this old lawyer sitting in a dark corner, and he says... "This just in: there's a reindeer with a candy cane problem. If YOUR grandma has been run over by a reindeer this Christmas, CALL US." ROFL |

I have a thought on the pillows. what if we make them but don't stuff them? Some people like to use pillow inserts and some like to use filling. We could let one side open to let the person decide how they want to stuff it. It would also save on postage...just a suggestion.."throwing it in the ring" |
- Posted by hazelnutbunny 7A (My Page) on Tue, Dec 20, 11 at 11:39
Either way is fine with me, Linda! I had thought about that, too. So the style of the pillow/pillow cover will be entirely up to the maker. If you want to make & stuff a specially shaped pillow or simply design a pretty pillow cover, either way will be fine. :D |

I'll be watching but I have to sit this one out. I make quilts for our church members & friends who are ill. One has just been told she has alzheimers and another one just had a heart attack. So when I come home on Dec. 26 I have to get busy making these quilts. I keep trying to get some made up ahead but each time one is finished another one get sick. I take them to church and everyone sigms them like a card. They have been very well recieved. So I want to keep it up as long as I can. The one for alzheimers is to help memory. I'm still working on my SIL's christmas quilt for the masons. Hopefully it well be done tomorrow. Have a good evening everyone and MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!! gmom |
- Posted by dan_the_mailman Michigan (My Page) on Wed, Dec 21, 11 at 5:20
Not stuffing the pillows sounds like a good idea. It would be helpful for anyone who might have allergies, and like Linda said, it'll help out on postage. I think that's what I'm going to do. And I'll certainly be happy if whoever winds up sending me a pillow does the same thing. I'd kind of prefer it actually. Wow, Gmom, that sounds like a wonderful thing to do! I'll bet they all like those quilts! Just 4 more days until Christmas, is everyone ready? Dan |

Lol, I'm not worried about Santa Melissa. I don't have a chimney for him to come down, and if he breaks in Stella will greet him with a big ol' "NO!" She doesn't like strangers, not at all. Thankfully, my mail route customers have been pretty generous this year. There are packages beneath the tree, and envelopes containing my tips in/on the tree. Sunday morning my roomie Joe and I are going to open the gifts before I make a huge pancake breakfast. Then, after we clean that up we'll open the envolopes. He still hasn't been able to find work, so we're splitting everything 50/50. I bring home a paycheck, and he keeps the house going, letting me rest in the evenings and on my days off, so this year it'll all get split between us. I did buy him the salad spinner he's been talking about for almost a year now, so that'll be fun to watch him open that up. I've got Monday AND Tuesday off from work, so we're going to hit the after-Christmas sales one day. I've also been planning on going to the liquidblue.com site and ordering some shirts. I've already got 6 of them, and they're pretty cool. Hardy too, which makes them an even better deal! I've had 4 of them for about 6 months now, wearing them to work every day, and they're still holding up really well, no holes or wear marks at all! Not bad, eh? If you should happen to visit the site, check out the wolves, lions, and seashore themed ones. Those are what I like! I want to get the white shark shirt in my next order, I already have the turtles and sealife ones. While I've got your attention, I have a question. Would it be okay to sew/applique flowers onto my pillow instead of using floral or gardening fabric? Happy Christmas Eve Eve! |
- Posted by hazelnutbunny 7A (My Page) on Fri, Dec 23, 11 at 19:37
Absolutely, Dan! Applique away! :o) I should've mentioned that before...I know I was thinking it, but my brain just doesn't work so well these days. Too many of my brain cells are going towards baby-building! LoL! So...YES..APPLIQUE is FINE, if anyone would rather do that than use floral fabric. And you've reminded me...I usually make fudge for our mailman, but I completely forgot this year! UGH! But, we've had a SUB this week, and not our usual one, either. So I guess it's OK that I've forgotten. Not that I don't appreciate the SUB...but our regular mailman goes the extra mile, and is just a special guy...so I'd rather "tip" him. |
Just popping in to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! I hope everyone's weather cooperates for safe travel. |

I've been wanting to sit down at my sewing desk for over a month now, with no luck. Until today. I am now almost done with my pillow and will be finishing it after eating an Italian-themed Christmas dinner. Life is good. |
- Posted by hazelnutbunny 7A (My Page) on Wed, Dec 28, 11 at 13:11
Hope everyone had a great Christmas! We're finally starting to get over that flu bug that the teenager so generously shared with everyone. :P Lots of sore throats & sniffles still lingering, though. Bleh. Still a few days for signups, if we've got any lurkers out there! :) |
- Posted by dan_the_mailman Michigan (My Page) on Wed, Dec 28, 11 at 17:27
my pillow is done, just waiting to find out who I'm sending it to. I went to joann's yesterday and spent too much, but it was a lot of fun and I used money my customers gave me for christmas, so I don't feel guilty at all... lol! would you believe I bought 30 fabric quarters for a sunburst quilt? there will be plenty of left overs I'm sure, maybe even enough to use on the mystery quilt I'm making this coming sunday. there's an online site which is hosting the mystery quilt by posting instructions once an hour. I'm looking forward to it! so what's everyone else up to? Dan |
- Posted by quiltingfox 8 LA (My Page) on Wed, Dec 28, 11 at 22:09
Hi, hope everyone had a great Christmas! And I hope everyone has a Peaceful New Year! Just got home from Texas as we spent Christmas with my sister and her family and really enjoyed it. If I can get my desk cleaned off this week, I need to start a baby quilt for my niece who is expecting at the beginning of March. So I need to speed quilt and get her quilt done in 4 weeks. So will have to sit this swap out. Hope ya'll can post pics of your pillows. Best to you, |
- Posted by hazelnutbunny 7A (My Page) on Thu, Dec 29, 11 at 18:47
I have the link saved for the mystery quilt, but I'm not sure I'll be able to do it. I was looking forward to it, but I don't think I have enough fabric on hand, and doubt I'll be able to get any before Sunday. Oh well! It sounds like fun, though...and be sure to show us pictures, Dan! :) Here's a thought...Maybe we could do our own version of a mystery quilt? Have a quilt-along....Whatcha think, Dan? So far, we only have the 3 signed up, correct? I'm still on the fence with this one...there is much going on right now, and I want to think about whether I can really commit to this. DAN Ok, this is the last shout out! I'll check back tomorrow afternoon & post partners then. |
- Posted by hazelnutbunny 7A (My Page) on Fri, Dec 30, 11 at 10:23
PARTNERS Ready, Set....SEW!! BEV SENDS TO DAN Remember to have your pillow/pillow cover sent by January 15th. |
- Posted by dan_the_mailman Michigan (My Page) on Fri, Dec 30, 11 at 16:29
Hmmm, a quilt-along sounds like fun Melissa. I'll be busy Sunday with the mystery quilt. I'll do it and see how it goes, then perhaps we can all get together one day soon and make ourselves a quilt. It's funny that you mention it because I was already thinking along those lines...lol! Maybe that's what we'll do in April when I'm hosting again... Dan |
Oh, bummer, I got Dan. LOL No offense, Dan, but the pillow top I already had made (actually from many years ago that has been packed up and never made into a pillow) is pink floral with hearts quilted on it. Don't worry, I won't saddle you with that. I'll get busy and find something much more appropriate for you...and have fun coming up with something new. Actually the pink pillow will look nice in my living room so I've finish it at the same time finally. |
- Posted by hazelnutbunny 7A (My Page) on Sat, Dec 31, 11 at 12:23
I don't know, Bev....Dan might've liked a pink pillow! :P It would match his tutu! Hope everyone has a great weekend! Stay safe & have fun! |
- Posted by hazelnutbunny 7A (My Page) on Sun, Jan 1, 12 at 14:28
Linda~ I finished your pillow & will be mailing it out this week (gotta find some stamps!). It was my first *real* attempt at applique, so it's not perfect. Should've chosen something a bit more simple, I think! Anyway...I'll understand if you never use it, or hide it away in the corner somewhere! :P |
- Posted by dan_the_mailman Michigan (My Page) on Sun, Jan 1, 12 at 18:52
HEY!!! DON'T MOCK THE TUTU!!! IT TOOK ME WEEKS TO GET IT JUST RIGHT, AND YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE THE ZIPPER!!! I put in a few hours on the mystery quilt today, still haven't finished it though. I do like how it's coming out. Would you believe I ran out of white thread today? I had to go to joann's, which turned out to be a very lucky thing! I bought 18 500-yard spools of thread for just $36 (half-price), and found some great fabrics, also on sale! I bought 2 sand fabrics to use in my next project, a landscape quilt, and some white birch tree fabric which looks like they just peeled it off of the trees. The more I think about it, I do believe that we'll be making ourselves a quilt come April. I'll keep it simple but interesting. I think it's time we had ourselves a quilting bee and went home with what we've made, don't you? Lol, it'll be BYOB, of course! I'll get us a clean garbage can for us to pour our drinks into, give it a good stir, and we'll pour ourselves some interesting drinks while we sew... lol! And, since we'll have ourselves an entire month to do our sewing, I do believe it's time to stretch our wings and use some different methods of sewing, eh? I've almost got a pattern all worked out in my mind, and I'm going to give it a try or two before I post instructions. Good thing I've got until April to get this figured out, isn't it? Everyone have a great night! I'm off! (hey! I heard that!) Dan |

I just finished my mystery quilt! I'll be adding more borders to make it 90"x90", but otherwise, it's all done. Here's a picture of it... |
- Posted by hazelnutbunny 7A (My Page) on Mon, Jan 2, 12 at 16:15
That looks GREAT, Dan! I love it! :) Can't wait to see what you've got planned for our April swap! |
I can't believe you did that just this weekend. It looks great! I've been busy sewing another apron for my daughter. She had picked out some 50s retro Christmas material with people shopping. Unfortunately, I forgot it was directional and the people are upside down. LOL She wanted me to fix it and I told her you couldn't fix something like that. I had enough material I am making a second one to surprise her ... with the people right side up.! Almost done, she'll get it when she gets home tonight. |
- Posted by dan_the_mailman Michigan (My Page) on Tue, Jan 3, 12 at 15:38
Bev, that first apron will be great for the person wearing it! When they look down at their apron, the people will be rightside-up... lol! Sounds to me like you've made a great conversation starter! Wear it with pride! Dan |
- Posted by hazelnutbunny 7A (My Page) on Tue, Jan 3, 12 at 17:35
I agree, Dan! Some of my favorite sewing projects are ones where I did something "wrong". I get the grins & giggles whenever I look at them. Good memories! :) I actually got to sew a bit today (yay!). After some fits & farts from my old sewing machine, it decided to play nice. I made a quilted crochet hook roll out of 2 quilt blocks. It was REALLY simple. The 2 quilt blocks are your front (they can be whatever size you like, I used the 12" blocks). Then layer that with batting, an inner fabric and then fabric along the 1/3" part of the bottom for your pockets- whatever height you need to keep your hooks in). Just stitch them together, quilt the pockets in (for crochet hooks, you just add vertical stitching every 1.5-2" or so). Stitch some ties in the middle on one side, and then add your binding. Roll it up & tie it closed! I also got 2 blocks for the birthday block quilt swap finished too! Yay! :) |
- Posted by dan_the_mailman Michigan (My Page) on Tue, Jan 3, 12 at 18:22
Melissa, I'm sending your pillow out tomorrow. The dc# is 42 0727 0494 0550 3699 3003 6163 2154. I'm mailing it priority, so it better be there by Friday, Saturday at the latest. Enjoy! Dan |
Actually, Dan, that is the line I gave my daughter. She didn't buy it, but after awhile, she thought it would be a funny story to tell when she wore it. I finished the top of your pillow tonight, Dan. Used a technique I found on You Tube and it worked like a charm. I have forgotten to tell my exciting news to everyone...a new fabric store just opened today a few blocks from my home. Of course, I had to check it out. My other daughter wanted an apron, so we picked out some beautiful fabric. I didn't look at the price and it wasn't until she had it cut and rung up that the sticker price hit me and my daughter. As we got in the car, we both said it was way to nice of a fabric to use for an apron. So I am going to make her place mats and a wall hanging for her kitchen. I went through my stash and found some nice, heavy cotton for an apron for her. (I think the type of fabric is called ticking, but I could be wrong). In addition, I had started making a block for one of our projects and it wasn't working out. So I am going to use that for the pocket. One of the prints is actually fabric I used to make her a dress when she was about 7 or 8. I know she will remember it. |
- Posted by hazelnutbunny 7A (My Page) on Wed, Jan 4, 12 at 14:09
Yay! Looking forward to it, Dan! :) Bev~ That's great! A new fabric store so close to home! I know I couldn't be kept out of one, if I had one so close....even if I couldn't buy anything! :P Here are some pics of the crochet hook roll I mentioned yesterday. I put this one together in about 30 minutes this morning. This is the 2nd one I've made, and I used a block from our boomerang swap for the front. If you line the pockets with a lightweight plastic, or use some water proof material for the inside, you could also use the roll to hold paint brushes or other art supplies. I am thinking of making a miniature one for my purse, to hold my pens & some paper! |
- Posted by quiltingfox 8 LA (My Page) on Wed, Jan 4, 12 at 16:45
Dan I like your mystery quilt! Melissa that is a clever way to store your hooks! I have been using an old rectangular plastic watch case to store my small hooks in. Well am off to work on a baby quilt for my niece. Best to you, |

Melissa, the fabrics are so pretty together! |
- Posted by dan_the_mailman Michigan (My Page) on Thu, Jan 5, 12 at 6:52
Melissa, I'm afraid I have some bad news. I've been sick and haven't gone to work the last two days, so your pillow is still hanging out by my key bowl, waiting to leave. I'll let you know when I've got it in the mail. I'm hoping to go back to work tomorrow and will mail it then. |
- Posted by dan_the_mailman Michigan (My Page) on Thu, Jan 5, 12 at 12:25
Melissa, your pillow went out this afternoon. My roomie had some errands to run and he put it in the mail for me. Dan |
- Posted by hazelnutbunny 7A (My Page) on Thu, Jan 5, 12 at 13:02
Dan~ No worries! Good things are worth waiting for. :) Hope you're feeling better soon! There is so much crud going around right now, and it seems to keep coming back again & again. UGH. Take care of yourself & have some of Linda's tea. Even if it don't cure ya, it'll sure make ya feel better! :P Gmom~ The baby is due in 8 weeks. Not much time left, but I sure don't feel like I can wait that long! Linda's pillow will be going out tomorrow. I haven't been out to get any stamps this week, since we're stuck at home (silly van!!). But I have to go out tomorrow come heck or high water....so your pillar will be going out with me. :) |
- Posted by hazelnutbunny 7A (My Page) on Fri, Jan 6, 12 at 11:31
Yes indeedy, your pillow is on it's way to you, Miss Linda! Yay! :) BEV SENDS TO DAN |

"Sliding in on a cloud of dust and cat hair"..ok..I'll be working on Bev's pillow this weekend. I had to see who I got before I made it..(rubbing hands together). I have a stupid cold but I should be up to some sewing tomorrow... |
- Posted by dan_the_mailman Michigan (My Page) on Sat, Jan 7, 12 at 16:10
***sipping some brandy*** I'm feeling about 98% better, even went to work yesterday and today! I'm looking forward to you getting your pillow Melissa, just wish I could be the one to deliver it! Hang in there Linda, it's not like the relatives are all ganging up and coming over this weekend, or are they? Hey, is that Sherri's car I see turning into the driveway? |
Linda, I can't wait to see what you are dreaming up! Dan, your's is in the envelope and sealed...I just didn't want to wait at the P.O. for the Saturday crowd. I'll get to it first thing Monday! |

- Posted by dan_the_mailman Michigan (My Page) on Mon, Jan 9, 12 at 19:50
You are more than welcome Melissa! I have to confess though, I almost kept this one...lol! When I finished it all I could think of was "wow, that's cool!" Fortunately, I've got more fabric and can make myself another one just like it. The batiks I used on the sides kind of remind me of rainy days, what with the blurring of the colors and all. The other colors and of course the pix remind me of my yard, and who doesn't hope to see butterflies in their garden? And of course, the green on the flipside is for when you need something a bit plainer to look at, sort of like a lawn, y'know? I'm glad you liked it! Personally, I think you had a great idea for this swap, and I'm looking forward to the next time you host! Dan |
- Posted by lindaruzicka Z6 PA (My Page) on Wed, Jan 11, 12 at 15:55
I almost have Bev's pillow done. I hurt my knee and it's in a stabilzing brace at the moment until I get to the doctor on friday..sooo...I'm sewing with it on..it's going but slowly!LOL! |
- Posted by lindaruzicka Z6 PA (My Page) on Wed, Jan 11, 12 at 18:20
my pillow is done! It will be going to to Bev tomorrow..ummm...you do like color, I hope, Bev?.."whistling and looking up at the ceiling" |
- Posted by lindaruzicka Z6 PA (My Page) on Wed, Jan 11, 12 at 18:23
Melissa, the pillow you sent is absolutely beautiful! It has purple iris appliques on a cream background..simply lovely..it will go very nicely on my dining room reading chair. Thank you so much!1 ((HUGs)) |
Linda, I do love color! Can't wait to see it. Dan, I got yours out finally today before the snow storm hit. DC 0311 0820 0002 2738 9475 |
- Posted by dan_the_mailman Michigan (My Page) on Thu, Jan 12, 12 at 17:28
Thanks for letting me know Bev! I'm looking forward to seeing what you did. You always do such good work! Linda, what did you do to your knee? You weren't chasing Jeff away from your chocolate stash again, were you? Wouldn't it be easier on you if you just learned to share? Oh, by the way, Stella wanted me to ask if you're on the good drugs yet. Hmmm, that child may be seeing me pop too many pills, ya think? Be well everyone! |
- Posted by hazelnutbunny 7A (My Page) on Thu, Jan 12, 12 at 19:01
Yay, pillows are flying! :) Linda~ You're welcome! I hadn't done applique before, so that was a learning experience! I probably should have picked something easier! :P Glad you like it. *hugs* I had an itch to sew today, and not enough of anything (fabric, thread, etc) to make anything large. So I took that idea for the crochet hooks, and made a couple of pencil holders. It worked really well! I'm going to keep one for myself (since I always lose my pens & pencils in my purse!) and give one to a friend. Here's how they look: They are bascially made the same as the larger ones, but these only took me 10 minutes to put together. Gotta like little projects like that! I think one of these, filled with mechanical pencils, along with a puzzle book or notepad will make a fun little gift. :) |
- Posted by lindaruzicka Z6 PA (My Page) on Thu, Jan 12, 12 at 19:28
my package is mailed out..(according to my husband)...I don't know what I did to my knee actually. It's either sprained, pulled or I tore something. I go to an ortho tomorrow morning to find out what's what. I have a knee stabilzer on it right now an no Dan, tell stella only ibrophrofen. |
Melissa, those are lovely. Great gift idea for the spur of the moment. Is everyone getting some of this snow coming through? I'll be getting lake effect in the morning as well, since we're right at the bottom of lake mich. Can you believe it, I still had alyssum blooming yesterday. Just two little patches, but it was so cheerful. Linda, I hope you knee is better soon. It's a bummer when you can't walk without pain. |
Linda, the pillow is beautiful! You're right, I love butterflies. I will really enjoy this. (I don't know why photobucket turned the photo sideways. It wasn't that way when I downloaded it.) Thanks! I really enjoyed this swap. I new skill to learn. |
- Posted by hazelnutbunny 7A (My Page) on Sat, Jan 14, 12 at 16:47
Hope everyone is having a great weekend so far! Not much going on here, just babysitting a few extra kids so everyone is outside enjoying the mild weather. Sure wish Mother Nature would make up her mind, though! 8 degrees & snow night before last, and now it's in the 50's, with high 60's predicted for tomorrow. Sheesh! :P |

Hi everyone! Love your pics of pillows and pencil holders! I am working on the border of my great-nephew's baby quilt and hopefully will start hand quilting the layers by the end of next week. Trying to get this quilt done by end of January to free up some time to do other things. Will try to post the February S-N-S Swap around January 20th or 21st - will just depend on how busy the week turns out. Hope everyone is having a great weekend! Best to you, |
- Posted by dan_the_mailman Michigan (My Page) on Sat, Jan 14, 12 at 20:37
Actually, it did come from you. LOL I didn't think about it being reversible though. The front was so easy too. Just a nine patch. Cut it through the middle one way, then cut each of the two sections through the middle. You now have four blocks you can arrange anyway. Glad you like it. |
- Posted by hazelnutbunny 7A (My Page) on Sat, Jan 14, 12 at 20:53
Yay! It looks like everyone has received their pillows! Great going, everyone! I love the different designs & ideas everyone came up with. Y'all are very creative (and colorful!). Thank you to everyone for making this a GREAT swap! :) |

Glad you all had a wonderful pillow swap. Sorry I missed it, have been busy making a baby blanket that has to be ready for my niece's baby shower on January 28th. I went ahead and posted the February Swap guidelines and will attach a link below for it. Best to you, |

Like a hip-hop Clark Kent, the RZA walks quietly through the world. The mastermind behind the raucous Wu-Tang Clan, one of the biggest and best rap acts of the '90s, doesn't wear diamonds in his ears or around his neck. He's shy and thoughtful, and he talks like he has gumballs in his mouth, words rolling out without the letter r. (''Jim Cawwey was widiculous in Bwuce Almighty, wight?'') He hides behind bookish Polo frames that his sharp eyes don't need. ''These are just part of my disguise,'' he says with a sly chuckle. You may not always notice the RZA, but that's just part of his plan. The rapper who once reigned supreme switched identities while nobody was watching.
Noodly limbs curled into the corner booth of a Manhattan restaurant, where he'll linger through a shift change and a sunset, the RZA (born Robert Diggs) approaches the lunch menu like he's coming up with a battle strategy. This takes a while because he doesn't touch white sugar or caffeine or meat. After settling on peppermint tea and bean soup (''Start off light,'' he advises), the RZA leans in close and softly explains that hip-hop was just a hobby and he has greater things in store for the world. The crazy thing is, you kind of believe him.
When superstars fade, they have a tendency to cling desperately to their dulled fame. But here is a better story, the tale of a man who found a way to skirt the indignities of irrelevance. When Wu-Tang's record sales started to droop with 2000's The W, the RZA (pronounced ''RIZ-uh''), an untrained musician, crafted a meticulous plan to transform himself into a serious film composer. Now, riding Grammy nominations for the music in Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2, the RZA's distinctive sound helps set the tone for the new Jet Li movie Unleashed and the May 19 Quentin Tarantino-directed CSI finale.
Mission accomplished, the RZA is ready to move on to an even greater challenge. With roles in Jim Jarmusch's Coffee and Cigarettes (2004) and in the Jennifer Aniston thriller Derailed (due in theaters this fall), he wants to break into acting and eventually directing. Understand, though, that this is not a casual lark, a crass move to join the ranks of rappers who continue to find second acts in Hollywood. ''If all of a sudden I walk out like, Yo, I'm an actor! I'm a director! Nah man, it takes training to do that. And I won't disrespect hundreds of years of other people's work, because I don't like how hip-hop has been disrespected by fake rappers coming in making their money.'' Instead, the RZA's armed himself with A-list mentors like Tarantino and Jarmusch, and he's walking around with a copy of an Alfred Hitchcock biography in his bag. ''I keep telling him, we need you as a director as well as a musician, producer, philosopher, all the other things you do,'' says Jarmusch. ''RZA's got a bigger plan than 'It's all about me and how much bling I have.'''
Is there anything the RZA can't do? There is one thing, the worst thing. He couldn't save his troubled second cousin, Wu-Tang's Ol' Dirty Bastard, who died last fall. And the RZA still can't forgive himself for this one failure.

Represented daily newspaper and three television stations in successful mandamus challenging juvenile court order excluding press and public from hearings in high-profile murder case. In case of first impression, the court of appeals held that Texas statute imposes a duty on juvenile court to open hearings to the public, in cases in which the accused juvenile is at least 14 years old, unless evidence in the record establishes good cause to close a proceeding. The court also held that the press and public have standing to challenge a closure order and that conclusion of the juvenile case in which the closed proceedings occurred did not render the media challenge moot.
ITL Int'l, Inc. v. Café Soluble, S.A. (5th Cir. 2012)
An American manufacturer sued an international firm client in district court in Mississippi, seeking a declaratory judgment that the parties' distribution agreement had terminated, and an anti-suit injunction to prevent our client from suing the manufacturer in Latin America.

In the leading case on taxability of crude oil, persuaded the court to construe the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution to hold that oil moving through a tank farm remains in interstate commerce and therefore is not subject to ad valorem taxation. This appellate decision controls the outcome in numerous pending cases in which an appraisal district seeks to tax oil in transit through a pipeline system.

Successfully represented a health care client in the Fifth Circuit in a case that involved a question of first impression: whether the Medicare Act and the Federal Employees Health Benefits Act preempt a state court lawsuit concerning insurance reimbursement contracts between private parties, warranting removal to federal court.
West Orange-Cove Consolidated Independent School District v. Alanis, 107 S.W.3d 558 (Tex. 2003)

$750 basically new (used several times) condition, no pressure dings or anything. Here are the exact dimensions..

This is what it looks like, http://avisosurf.com/Cordell6-0.html , but I have current pictures of the actual board on request. This board is great, just too small for me. One of the times I rode it I let a smaller friend try it, and he said he loved it. It retails for $1353 now, so if you can't afford a new one of these and want to try a carbon fiber board, this might be a good option.

The brief was to design a six-storey retail and entertainment complex overlooking the road connecting the city's central business district to its continuously expanding periphery. The challenge was to speculate on how the building could respond in a context devoid of character and scale. The building idealises breaking away from the notion of the urban container that necessitates the boxing of the individual entertainment and commercial units.
To achieve this the project was visualised as floating amorphous geometries, resigned from constraints of an envelope yet unified by transition between these volumes. The idea was to create a sequence of spaces either completely open or completely enclosed. The fragmented volume and large voids accentuate the heterogeneity of its urban setting. The location and form of these volumes result from a series of forces acting on each other; a complex overlapping of sight lines, building code requirements and the aspiration to integrate with its neighbourhood.
The simple floor plans vary through the six floors depending on the form of the volume, size and orientation. Retail outlets and food courts occupy the lower three floors. Movie theatres are covered but not enclosed art galleries, small-scale restaurants with panoramic views are located on the upper levels. An open ramp connecting different levels of the building make movement through the building a ceremonial experience.
The building is characterised by use of pour-in-place concrete and defined by series of shaded terraces that allow uninterrupted movement of air - a place in the shade, so crucial for buildings in warm climates. The permeability of these spaces instils in the user a sense of place that weaves him into the larger urban fabric.

The Gyal Season Riddim is solely dedicated to women in all cultures and it was produced especially to celebrate Jamaica's 50th anniversary of independence. All of the artists on this riddim complete the sound and feel of the riddim. Produced by Bambino Musik and Jus Bus, It was released this past January, 2013.
This is a perfect riddim to start the year! The Gyal Season Riddim is a blend of Ska, Rocksteady, and it has a modern vibe to it. Etana ft. Busy Signal with, "Love Love Love", is the best song on this riddim. "Love Love Love" is a sweet reminder on the power of love. Busy Signal also has a single on the riddim, "Girls Tonight", which is one out of many songs he has released since his own release from jail recently. Tanya Stephens, "If you Knew", is another great song to add to your own play list. Romaine Virgo, Spragga Benz, Keida, Kenne Blessin, and Drastic are featured on this riddim.
Uprisings reggae artists such as, Denyque and Sophia Squire, also have songs on this riddim. Tessanne Chin ft. Bambino, "You got what I Need", is a song worth listening too. The Gyal Season, is a big hit so far and I will not be surprised if it becomes a classic riddim in reggae history. Tune into, ROCKERS, Boston's Home for Reggae, to hear this riddim and many more!

Why we love Cuba
Photographers love to travel to Cuba for the multihued buildings, while classic car aficionados are in it for the clapped out 'yank tanks' trawling the streets and rum fiends love the strong Cuba Libres on offer.
Whatever reason you're travelling to Cuba for, you'll find another one once you're there – Cuba excels at that many things. While on a Geckos tour of Cuba you'll drink and dance in Havana's bars, tour tobacco plantations in Vinales, be ensconced in all things 'El Che' in Santa Clara and pretend you're not lost in Camaguey's tangled streets.
Cuba equals much more than the sum of its parts; beyond the mojitos, murals, cigars and cars, this is a proud, passionate place that is in a state of transition.
Travel to Cuba and see it while it's at a crossroads.

eBooks can now be downloaded free from ePukapuka OverDrive to a computer, iPad, mobile phone or an eReader.
Audiobooks are talking books that can be downloaded to a computer, iPod or other compatible device with audio capability.
Hastings District and Napier Libraries are part of the newly-formed Lower North Island Digital Library Group, ePukapuka, offering eBooks and audiobooks to readers.
Hastings District Libraries Manager Paula Murdoch says "Staff are thrilled with this latest service, as it complements the range of existing services offered both onsite and online for everyone's convenience. eBooks and audiobooks are a great way of making reading material available 24/7 to our community."
Napier Libraries Manager, Sheryl Reed, advises customers not to rush out and buy something new. "Many customers will be able to download eBooks and audiobooks to the computer or other compatible device they already own, without having to go and buy anything special. But we are encouraging our eReading public to check our website for compatibility information first, if they do choose to buy."
The Lower North Island Digital Library Group is a consortium of 15 public libraries known as ePukapuka, formed to give readers access to more content using combined purchasing power. ePukapuka provides access to several hundred titles, mainly eBooks, with some audiobooks; and more content is being added regularly. At this stage the libraries will not be making video or music files available because of licensing issues for the New Zealand market.

Please note: Kindle is not compatible with Overdrive in New Zealand at present.
Although some new Kindle services are becoming available in the USA, it may be some time before it becomes compatible in New Zealand.

PHOENIX - Arizona's largest theatrical producer is facing a sizable deficit following a disappointing season with fundraising and at the box office.
The Arizona Republic reports that the Arizona Theatre Company expects to post more than a $1 million deficit for this fiscal year. It marks the fourth year the company has ended significantly in the red.
The company's revenue dropped to $4.2 million this year and contributions were down about $300,000 to $1.7 million. However, the primary driver of the deficit seems to have been overly optimistic income projections.
The company had planned on a $7.3 million operating budget based on expectations of a large gift from a donor and a sharp increase in ticket sales. Neither materialized.
There have also been disagreements among the company's board members, the managing director and the artistic director.

Geek up the slopes this winter with the new Burton TRON Snowboard Boots. These boots will let everyone know that you're here to snowboard…and to talk about light cycles.
The new TRON film is getting all sorts of zany tie-ins, but these snowboard boots take the cake. I mean, what does snowboarding even have to do with TRON? The color schemes used for the characters' suits in the films do mesh well with almost any and every fashion, though. You have to admit, the Burton TRON Snowboard Boots look pretty sweet.

These twisted turban looks take the classic turban and revamp it into new and fresh fashion looks. From gold lame turbans to denim turbans, these styles range from fashion-forward to retro-inspired.
The twisted turban looks are a perfect example of fashion intercepting with culture. I'm particularly taken with the multi-coloured turbans (think Carrie Bradshaw in 'Sex and the City 2'). I think the look adds a bit of fun and freshness without going overboard.

Four years later, the Mayraths have had occasion to review their construction video more than they ever expected. Details they didn't have the expertise to recognize at the time are now freeze-framed and studied over and over as they look for clues to how their $227,000 dream became a house of horrors. From its sagging roof line to its out-of-plumb floor joists, their house exhibits a series of miscues that date back to the early phases of construction -- including at least one blatant building-code violation that somehow eluded the builder's own supervisors and the city's inspectors.
"Mistakes get made, but this house is one big mistake from the mud plate up," says James Mayrath. "I should have seen a lot of this stuff, but I wasn't really looking."
The Mayraths' experience is emblematic of how, in the metro area's overheated housing market, new home buyers can be blindsided by a combination of hasty, shoddy construction work and inadequate inspection by overwhelmed local officials.
Their problems aren't as dramatic as those faced by homeowners who have been battling developers over cracked foundations built on swelling or unstable soils ("Did the Earth Move for You, Too?", January 21). But the couple's complaints about warped and improperly installed siding, leaky windows, poor energy usage and the like are hardly minor; some of their concerns raise safety and structural issues that may affect dozens of other homes in their subdivision.
The Mayraths purchased their five-bedroom, two-story house in the Markham Farms subdivision from U.S. Home in the spring of 1995. Since then, representatives of the builder have been back to the house several times to deal with a series of repair issues. "There are many problems with poor workmanship throughout this house," reported one investigator to the Boulder District Attorney's Office in 1996 after the Mayraths complained. The DA's office considered the problems to be warranty issues rather than violations.
U.S. Home has renailed siding, reinstalled windows, repaired a hole in the living-room subflooring and replaced a carpet that was not what the owners had ordered. Last summer the builder, one of the largest producers of tract homes in the country, also replaced the Mayraths' front porch, along with the porches of a dozen other Markham Farms homeowners; the porches were sinking because U.S. Home neglected to install concrete footings when the homes were built. But the Mayraths continue to have a number of disputes with the company, as well as with Longmont building inspectors, about the current condition of their house.
Jeff Whiton, president of U.S. Home in Colorado, says the builder has worked diligently to correct problems for the Mayraths. "They've brought up a number of issues, and every time, we've tried to address them," he says. "They just never seem to be satisfied with what we want to do."
Recently, Westword arranged for an independent expert, Edward Peterson of Annandale Consultants, to inspect the Mayrath residence and review videotapes and documents relating to its construction. Peterson, a construction manager with 28 years of experience in the field, has offered expert opinions in court on behalf of contractors as well as homeowners; he also serves on the planning commission for the City of Lakewood. Here's what he saw:
Early on in the videotaped record of the house's construction, Peterson asks James Mayrath to pause the tape. He points to a large mass of dirt piled against the recently poured exterior wall of the foundation.
"My guess is that those walls are less than a week old," Peterson says. "If they put compacted backfill against the structure at this stage without any bracing, they can do tremendous damage to the wall. About 90 percent of the tract homes in any subdivision will have bowed foundations because of things like this. Over time, that typically leads to small cracks in the foundation wall. Is that a structural problem? It can be."
The tape rolls on. The wooden skeleton of a house emerges from the ground in a matter of weeks, then takes on shingles, sheathing and siding in a matter of days. Mayrath points to a two-foot gap in the framing between a major support beam at the second-floor joists. Peterson suggests that the problem may have been corrected later in construction, but Mayrath is adamant; he's probed the drywall where the gap occurs, he says, and found nothing but air.
"If that's the case," Peterson says, "that's a framing detail that should never have passed inspection. That's a big deal. That's something that won't show in a year or two, but in five or six, that floor will sag from lack of proper support."
(Whiton responds, "Typically, areas like that would be filled in when the framers come back and put in ceiling drops. Just because it was missing when they took the video doesn't mean it wasn't done at a later stage.")

The Canadian rapper-singer-actor won Woodie of the Year, given to music's top emerging artist, during the Woodie Awards in Austin.
Lil Wayne, who founded Drake's label Young Money, shocked the crowd when he officially kicked off the show and dropped a verse from his own 2008 smash "A Milli." He later accepted Drake's award for him.
The 1975 took the breaking Woodie for best new artist. Chance the Rapper got best video Woodie for "Everybody's Something" and Ed Sheeran earned the performing Woodie.

I can only imagine luring Raekwon, and Garrett in that would be fantastic... It would definitely throw it in Meyers face and Saban since they both badly want McMillian.
Promoting TRob would hasten Lawing's departure. Isn't he young to be a DC? Then again, he's done a lot with the secondary since he's been there. I just hate hearing about the possibility of another defensive coordinators leaving. I don't think we appreciate the stability we had on the staff and how that led to consistent recruiting under Strong.
Totally agree with the inconsistency with coordinators that'd why I think for a couple years there it was a mess... No stability whatsoever
It's pretty obvious that Muschamp is the real DC. Not sure how responsibilities get divided up but I don't think this would have a big impact on our defense. Losing our offensive coordinators is a different story.
I actually dont think that would be a monumental loss either now that Joker is the WR coach. Lawing is also one of those career assistants. We cannot lose Travaris Robinson that would really hurt the program from a recruiting stand point.
I did kind of assume a "your next" pitch was part of how we snagged Lawing, but who knows maybe he doesn't want to be a DC.
There are a lot of rumors on why Lawing left. I dont think he was promised the DC job. I dont think he even wants it, he has been a Dline coach for 20 years.
Durkin has put in his time as a Gator, so I expect to get 3-4 years out of him at DC. If TRob is ready, after that, good for him, but I have ZERO concerns about Coach Champ being able to find a former head coach willing to take the DC job. Heck, we got Joker to take a position coach job. I don't think enough was said about how huge that is.
I got the impression, just from the original quote, that another coaching staff has put this in the Kid's head [about Durkin leaving] trying to recruit against us and when asked about it Mus had a game plan that satisfied this recruit. I can't imaging Mus even raising this topic without being asked first.
Everything I heard from South Carolina circles following our hire of him insinuated this was not the case. He just wanted to leave the state for personal reasons, and as one of the highest profile DL coaches in the country, he could name his destination. I also like to think Spurrier did us a solid and pointed him our way. /fantasyland

Wiveliscombe is a former borough, market and cloth making town to the west of Taunton and 5 miles from the Devon/Somerset border.
The town is situated at the foot of the Brendon Hills and acts as a gateway to Exmoor.Today it is a small, rural, working town, not a dormitory for Taunton, like so many of its neighbours. It is a Rural Centre for a much larger area than the town itself. While the population of the town is only about 2,500 persons, its shops and services meet the needs of a much larger population, spread through the western fifth of Taunton Deane, in scattered farms and villages.
A traveller stopping off in the centre of the town gets no idea that this is the hub of a thriving business community. A recent survey revealed that there were at least 300 businesses within a 5 mile radius of the town; 14 of these were trading internationally and a further 20 nationally. It has the HQ of a firm building motorway service stations and factories in the U.K. and Europe, a band saw manufacturer, a manufacturer of kitchens, a pig processing factory, an array of building services, I.T. companies and many other specialist services. Wiveliscombe is also the brewing centre of Somerset with two breweries.
There is a good variety of shops, a post office ,one bank, three estate agents, solicitors, accountants, hairdressers, garages, Inns and restaurants. There is also a doctors' surgery, a dentist and veterinary practice.
The Primary School serves most of the surrounding villages and Kingsmead Community School, for pupils aged 11-16, was rated by the DfEE as one of the top 50 state schools in England in 1998. Kingsmead School houses a Theatre and Sports Hall and a youth club & playgroup complementing the town's Recreation Ground where the Tennis, Rugby, Cricket & Football Clubs have their bases.
Wiveliscombe is an active town, set amidst beautiful countryside with easy access to Exmoor, the Quantocks and the north and south coast resorts. It is a good place to live in and an excellent place to visit in order to explore the West Country.

Run an obstacle race! Firstly, warm up by using the space bar then select some healthy snacks that you'll have as pit stops during the race. Use the arrow keys to run and the space bar to jump over obstacles.
How to extend the fun
This game not only helps with your child's hand-eye coordination and movement skills but also teaches them some things about exercise. They are taught that it's important to warm up before exercising and are asked to think about what snacks would be healthy and a good choice for refuelling after exercise. You could extend this activity by putting these ideas into practise - you and your child could enjoy a warm up in the house, play an energetic game outside then come back inside and enjoy a healthy snack!
How to make a magic moment
Encourage your child to use the space bar so that the Boogie Beebies character is sufficiently warmed up for the race. Then you can have some fun selecting the healthy snacks for your pit stops. Suggest some snacks that are obviously not the best choice and ask your child to explain why they shouldn't pick them. They'll love proving they made the right choice and will learn more about healthy eating along the way!

15 Minutes of Fame: The most untalented player
We admit to developing a soft spot for hard-headed, level-80-by-hook-or-crook metagamers like Noor the pacifist and Gweryc the melee Hunter. How can you resist this much sheer creative enthusiasm? These guys undercut their own characters just to see if they can manage without: without killing anything, without wearing any armor – and now, without training any talents.
Lithiumflowr of Bronze Dragonflight-EU started making plans for his second Hunter not long after dinging level 80 with his first. But this time, he had an investigation to conduct: At a time when epic-length forum threads split hairs over moving a single point between trees, what would be the effect of going 0/0/0? How could he compensate for a lack of talents? Could he compensate at all?
Evidently, he's compensating rather well. Lithiumflowr is humming right along, moving into Burning Crusade with an eye on level 80. He may be the most untalented player you've ever seen – but he's definitely no Huntard.

I had read good reviews about the Invigorating Night Gel - Firming Treatment 50g and must say that it's a welcome addition to my regime. Applied at night, it left my skin firm and plump the next day. I didn't apply cream over it but next time I would as it's not hydrating enough for me alone. For oily or acne skin it would be great.
This is an old favourite in my skincare regime. It really works a treat at smoothing the skin and making it look healthier. Also seems to discourage spots fairly effectively too.

Dr. Lindholm goes to Washington
At Capitol Hill Ocean Week, held June 10-12, marine scientists and others interested in the state of the world's oceans gathered in Washington, D.C.
Among them was CSU Monterey Bay Professor James Lindholm, who was there on behalf of the CSU Council on Ocean Affairs, Science and Technology (COAST).
He and several colleagues visited offices of elected officials and federal agencies to discuss contributions that the CSU has made to marine science.
For more than a decade, Capitol Hill Ocean Week (CHOW) has brought together leaders in marine conservation, policy, science and industry to tackle critical ocean issues. Hosted by the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation, CHOW provides an annual forum for discussions about the current state – and future – of our oceans and coasts.
While in Washington, Dr. Lindholm participated in a panel discussion on "Blue News: Casting a Wider Net." He and several panelists, including National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Sylvia Earle, discussed science communication and the need to engage a wider audience while ensuring the information is accurate and objective.
Dr. Lindholm is the James W. Rote Distinguished Professor of Marine Science and Policy and director of the Institute for Applied Marine Ecology. His research interests include ecology of marine fishes, habitat response to fishing, and design and efficacy of marine protected areas.

Weigh in on the downtime debacle {WoW}
Nov 12th 2008 12:03AM I'd rather they spend a day before the xpac comes out fixing things. I don't really see a problem with it. its just one day. The strength of the language some people are using makes it sounds like the whole thing is semi-permanently broken. I agree with the people who are saying that the level of stability that Blizzard maintains across all the realms in general is amazing. The level of change they are implementing is phenomenal and I don't begrudge them this time to make it as right as they can before that content goes live.
We all know there will be hitches and problems in the first few days of the release whih so many millions of people all in the start areas in northrend. Everybody should be prepared for lag and down time and adjustments and accept that these are part of the process of expansion in the game.
Anyway let go of your rage, and furious emoting and let the devs do what they need to do. Every job is done better if the workers are happy and feel appreciated.

The Army's Artificial Intelligence invades WoW {WoW}
Nov 6th 2008 9:45PM This feels invasive to me. Why is the army coming into a privately owned game that we pay to play? Technology is cool. Science is great. But I am not the army's guinea pig nor do I wish to pay for the privilege of being the armies guinea pig.
