Pottery barn towels fell apart after one wash
I bought a dozen towels from PB. 6 body towels, and 6 hand towels. I've removed four from the shipping package and washed them. Well, its
string-mageddon! Just threads loose all over the place and naked spots from where I guess it just wasn't built right. Has anyone had this issue recently? Even my Target towels looked better than this after 3 years. They hadn't even been used yet. |
But I was sad to see how quickly this problem occurred. In the past, I've bought cheaper towels from Bed Bath and Beyond, & Target, and those towels lasted years before they became stringy. Go figure! diznee25 |
I buy Tommy Hilfiger towels from Marshall's or TJ Maxx and they are the best...!!!!
I have pottery barn towels and one unravelled at the seam on the first or second washing. Brought it back and got a replacement no problem. They are now over a year old with heavy usage (4 of us using the same set of 8 towels--they get washed constantly) and are in great shape.
I would most definitely return what you got though. |
I have had my Pottery Barn towels for 4-5 years and they get heavy usage. No problems with them at all. I would bring them back to the store for an exchange. I have always found their in store customer service to be excellent.
Lisa |
Return them, clearly they are defective.
Any answer from Pottery Barn? I'd just return the towels.
I've had terrible luck with pottery barn
I bought my son's bedroom set from Pottery Barn and it is absolute junk. The set I bought my daughter at Costco has held up much better, and was a fraction of the cost. I received PB dish towels as a hostess gift and they looked horrible after one washing.
I think the catalog is house porn and I love to flip thru it for ideas but I won't buy anything there again. |
Pottery Barn seems to be hit or miss with their quality, let us know what you find out.
I have had very good luck w PB customer service via phone. They have sent me $10-$50 gc's for problems I have had with orders (besides making it right) and one item I ordered (a large piece of wall art, pieced wooden stars) that got lost in delivery was replaced and when my original order showed up weeks later, they told me to keep it. I would definitely expect them to make it right. Good luck!

Experience the Big Bug Invasion at Levis Commons
Published: 09/18/2013This Fall, Levis Commons is being invaded by an unforgettable collection of sculptures created by Long Island artist David Rogers. David Rogers' Big Bugs, a traveling exhibit of larger-than-life bug sculptures will be on display at Levis Commons from October 1- 31. The event is sponsored by ProMedica.
David Rogers' playful art installation that skews scale and creates an environment that shrinks visitors and enlarges common creatures to uncommon proportions. The effect is a role reversal of dimension and perception. As most of these sculptures reach heights of 12-feet tall, they are not your average garden gnomes. The gargantuan scale bugs are created using all-natural materials such as trees, saplings and branches. The inherent uniqueness of these materials provides character, definition and a sense of motion.
Since its debut at the Dallas Arboretum in 1994, David Rogers' Big Bugs have traveled across the U.S. to elite locations such as the National Arboretum in Washington D.C., the Chicago Botanical Gardens and Disney World's Epcot Center. Levis Commons is honored to be added to the list of host locations and excited to be home to the first Big Bugs appearance in Northwest Ohio.
A kick-off event for the Big Bugs exhibit will take place on Saturday, October 5th from 2:00 5:00 p.m. Visitors will be treated to a variety of family friendly activities including inflatables, a children's John Deere gator race track, arts and crafts, a sensory learning table, live music and more. The opening day festivities will finish with a performance by Kelly Broadway and horse-drawn hayride tours of the bug exhibit from 5:00 8:00 p.m.
Throughout the month of October there will be an assortment of entertainment for families to enjoy while exploring the bugs.
-Every Tuesday in October is Kids Eat Free Day at Blue Pacific Grill. Treat the kids to lunch or dinner and receive a FREE "bug" dessert.
-Every Friday in October from 5:00 8:00 p.m. kids can visit Yogurt Vi to decorate their very own "bug" themed yogurt cup and receive 25% off their yogurt purchase!
- On Saturdays in October head to Books-A-Million at 11:00 a.m. for "bug" themed story times and "make and take" crafts and activities.
- Scavenger Hunt Saturdays add a little extra adventure to your Big Bug visit. Pick up a scavenger hunt from ProMedica at Levis Commons on Saturdays in October from Noon 5:00 p.m. Have fun solving the puzzles and then drop off your answers at Yogurt Vi for a chance to win fun prizes!
-The Fall Concert Series returns to Levis Commons every Saturday in October from 5:00 8:00 p.m. Musicians will perform under a tent near the fountain.
- Horse-drawn hayrides will be available Saturdays in October from 5:00 8:00 p.m. and will take riders on a scenic tour of the Big Bugs sculptures. Rides are $1 per person and pick up on Chappel Dr. near Schakolad Chocolate Factory.
- While you're here snap a photo next to your favorite Big Bug sculpture and share them on your preferred social media site! Be sure to hashtag #LevisBigBugs on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to be automatically entered for a chance to win a fabulous prize package courtesy of Levis Commons!
The David Rogers' Big Bugs exhibit will be on display at Levis Commons from October 1-31, 2013, Monday Friday, 10:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m. and Sunday, Noon 5:00 p.m. For more information about sculpture locations and activities visit www.ShopLevisCommons.com.

http://www.reuters.com/article/scienceNews/idUSTRE55B66920090612 is reporting that Alaska's famous tourist destination 'Rat Island' is now rat-free after 229 years! Apparently this sobering success was a joint effort between the U.S. federal government and several 'Conservation' groups and involved spending more than 2.5 million dollars to drop poison onto the island from helicopter-hoisted buckets for a week and a half last autumn. A Mr. Tony Soprano was quoted as saying that "currently there are no signs that any of those damn rats survived but since the Rats ruled the island in question since the 1780's we ain't going to be sure until we're sure". He went on to say that "for all we know there might still be a couple of happy rats still hiding out there and this all could have been for nothing".
The island was infested by the non-native Norway Rats whom apparently jumped from a sinking Japanese ship way back in 1780. They reportedly ruled the island with an iron claw, terrorizing and killing all but the largest birds on the island and being total dicks.

On a day when the mainstream media swooned over an eighth-place finish for a female driver, Erica Enders–Stevens wanted to do her part to show drag racing had already "been there, done that".
Enders-Stevens, driving the GK Motorsports Chevrolet Cobalt, scored her fifth career Pro Stock victory and the second professional victory for a female driver already this season. Enders–Stevens' quicker reaction time enabled her to beat No. 1 qualifier Mike Edwards.
"We had come into this event following a tough weekend in Pomona where we blew up one of our best engines in the first round," said Enders–Stevens, who entered Sunday's eliminations as seventh quickest with a 6.555 best. "This was an important win for us to put everything together to get momentum for this season. We were able to run very consistent but not real well. We were right in the middle of the pack.
Enders-Stevens might have been just "one of the guys" for much of the weekend, but during the final round, she was brutal against the one driver who had bullied the competition all weekend long.
Her 6.538, 211.99 mph pass coupled with a .053 starting line advantage was enough to fend off a much quicker 6.520 recorded by Edwards.
"Sometimes consistency pays off," Enders-Stevens added.
Enders-Stevens maintained a mid-6.5-second pass in beating Shane Gray, V. Gaines and Jason Line to reach the finals.
While Enders-Stevens was more than happy to make her mark as the only professional female racer to win on Sunday, she was all too willing to offer praise for Danica Patrick's eight-place Daytona 500 finish.
"I'm really happy for what Danica did in qualifying for the Daytona 500," said Enders-Stevens. "I knew this was going to be talked about for a really long time [with her running the Daytona 500] and she had a top ten finish. Tremendous job. I'm sure those [NASCAR Sprint Cup] cars aren't easy to drive."
While Enders-Stevens could have elaborated more, she chose to switch the conversation to the efforts of her team. She said they deserved a lot of credit for Sunday's success.
"I couldn't be more proud," Enders-Stevens said. "Coming off of a season like we had last year and starting the season like we did this year. It's kind of gut-check in the sense of 'are we ever going to be able to get it done."
"Granted, we are only two races into the season but we worked our butts off during the off-season. My team did. We didn't test a lot and I was nervous coming into the season because all of the other big teams had tested so much. My team proved they can pick up right where they left off."

The board of the condo complex "Hidden Pond" in Raritan, NJ, has a hidden agenda—to have 15 Canada geese killed&mdashossibly gassed—by Goose Control Technology, a Metuchen geese extermination company. According to its website, this company not only profits from killing geese, but it also employs an "accomplished trapper," and offers, among other "services," a hunting program for waterfowl.
Canada geese residing around the pond will be rounded up during their molting period when they cannot fly. Entirely helpless, they will be separated from their goslings, causing shock and panic among the parent geese and goslings, who frantically call their loved ones in a final futile attempt to find each other.
Instead, these highly intelligent birds, in a terrifying state of confusion and panic, will be either mercilessly thrown into a mobile gas chamber, left struggling for their lives over a long period of time while fighting for oxygen, or packed into crates and trucked to a slaughterhouse to be brutally killed.
We need you to speak up for Raritan's geese!
Please tell the board of "Hidden Pond", Jo-Ann Liptak, Raritan's Mayor, and Elizabeth Horvath, the chairperson of the borough's environmental commission, that we will not allow the senseless killing of Canada geese. Other communities have been prevented from killing resident geese as a result of a public outcry. We will do the same for the "Hidden Pond" condo complex should they decide to follow through with this horrible slaughter of innocent and helpless geese families.
NEW JERSEY RESIDENTS ONLY. Use the form below to send an email TODAY to speak up for Raritan's geese.
Valid New Jersey address is required - P.O. Boxes cannot be used.
Please personalize your letter to increase your impact and submit the sample letter below to send your comments to:
· Board of "Hidden Pond"
· Jo-Ann Liptak, Mayor of Raritan
· Elizabeth Horvath, the Chairperson of the Borough's Environmental Commission

Budget Cuts Threaten The Bronx Zoo and Dozens of Other
Layoffs abound during these tough financial times. Now, things have gotten so bad that even hardworking porcupines are getting pink slips. When I heard that New York Gov. Paterson is proposing to slash funding for The Bronx Zoo and New York Aquarium (a 55% cut this year, and no money at all next year), my heart sank. One of the main purposes of the Bronx Zoo is to protect endangered species, and now the venerable institution may be endangered itself.
The folks at the Wildlife Conservation Society had a much more proactive response—they enlisted a porcupine to star in a PSA. By posting the funny, yet sobering, video online (see above), they're hoping to spur people to take action to prevent the budget cuts, which also affect 74 other zoos, botanical gardens, and aquariums across the state.
To sign a petition urging Gov. Patterson not to enact the proposed budget cuts to the Zoos, Botanical Gardens and Aquariums (ZBGA) program, visit the Wildlife Conservation Society's website.

This item firmly shapes and enhances your figure. It will slim by 1-2 inches.
You wouldn't kiss and tell, so why would you want to wear a body shaper that tells everyone every time you wear it? The Convertible Thong Shaper by Vedette is terrific for taming the tummy, but won't tell a soul it's there. On the outside, this may look like an ordinary shaper, but as they always say, "you can never tell a book by its cover."
This item hides three super slimming layers that invisibly smooth, sculpt and show off your sexy silhouette without showing that you're wearing a shaper. Its thong back makes it perfect for even your slinkiest and sheerest outfits. Pair it with your favorite bra and its underbust design lifts and supports, enhancing your cleavage. To finish it off, Vedette has included adjustable, convertible straps (which you may also remove) and a hook and eye closure gusset. If you're tired of tell-all shapers, make the switch to the invisible slimming of the Convertible Thong Shaper by Vedette. We won't tell if you won't!

This past Saturday in Sun Valley was the unofficial family day of the summer season. Over the past few years, two great family-friendly events have chosen to combine on this second Saturday of August, creating the perfect Saturday afternoon outing for myself and my two little ones. Thankfully, the dreadful smoke that had shrouded the valley the previous few days, caused by wildfires many miles away, was taking a much needed day off, providing the ideal afternoon for some fun in the sun.
Starting at 1:30 p.m. from outside the Sun Valley Inn, The Toy Store's 33rd Annual Doll Buggy Parade saw a bevy of beautiful baby dolls all trussed up in their finest cowboy gear congregating for the traditional stroll down through the Sun Valley Village. The Sun family arrived a little late (as usual) and Baby Sun objected initially to being woken from her slumber. However, when she saw the cornucopia of dolls, dressed-up buggys and little girls, her delight was quite uncontrollable. When The Toy Store owner and parade Grand Marshal Carol Knight lent her her own baby doll, complete with fetching cowboy bandana, it was the icing on the proverbial cake and nothing could stop her now (not even a full orchestra and stone stairs… more on that later).
The Doll Buggy Parade has been part of Wood River Valley life for more than three decades, moms strolling with their daughters today remembered when they were in the parade as children. Traditionally the trail of pushchairs, prams, strollers and anything with wheels that can carry a doll, winds its way from the Inn to the lawn outside the Sun Valley Pavilion, where it is greeted by the sounds of Sun Valley stalwart Tim Eriksen. Tim is a resort favorite, he has also been serenading guests, at The Roundhouse and Trail Creek Cabin, with his instrument of choice – the accordion, for many years. He told me that this gig is definitely one of his favorites. "I love playing for the children," he said.
Following the fun of the accordion, the gaggle of girls (and occasional boy) proceeded into the Sun Valley Pavilion, carefully parking their buggys alongside its outer walls, just in time for the Sun Valley Summer Symphony's annual Family Concert. A lovely tradition, the family concert is designed to introduce youngsters to the joys of classical music, and each year this one concert is just for them. From an orchestra petting zoo to a far more relaxed atmosphere, it was the perfect first experience for Little Sun (4 and a half). He was very excited to sit in his chair inside the pavilion, "read" his program and feel like a "grown-up boy." Granted, the highlight of the event for him was the family behind us sharing their Goldfish crackers, but I'm sure some of the experience soaked in.
For Baby Sun, hopped-up on dolls and balloons, sitting still was not an option, and while the family concert is a tolerant one, after 15 minutes of me chasing her up and down the exquisite stone stairways and walkways we bailed and headed for the freedom of the lawn. But not before she had delighted at clapping along with the crowds and stomping her feet in time with the original composition Board Games, a unique percussion piece performed with metal gloves and wooden board.
Once safely on the symphony lawn, we relaxed and enjoyed the performance of Cowboy Bill. An original piece receiving its world premiere at Sun Valley, Cowboy Bill is the brilliant result of the collaboration of Boston percussionist Alex Orfaly and Sun Valley's favorite homegrown best-selling author Ridley Pearson, who performed his poem in person at the concert. As conductor Alasdair Neale explains in this video, "It's Peter and the Wolf meets the Wild West… it serves as an introduction to the orchestra… it highlights individual instruments and sections to introduce young people to the wonderful world of the symphony orchestra."
(Video not displaying? Click here)
And it certainly did its job well, all the way home Little Sun was asking about Cowboy Bill and Bad Bob, the story had captured his imagination – and all without the aid of a television. Amazing! Catch some snippets of the music of Cowboy Bill here.
While a weary Sun family headed home, filled to the brim with music, dolls and ice-cream, we reflected on the extraordinary (and free!) afternoon we had had. Only in Sun Valley!
Happy Trails!
Tonight, Tuesday August 14, is the Sun Valley Summer Symphony's last 2012 performance. The season finale features Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5 in E minor, Opus 64 and begins at 6:30 p.m.

I used this for two nights and my dark circles seemed worse. A co-worker even pulled me aside to ask if things were okay. She thought I was having a tough time or wasn't sleeping and it showed on my face! I was so embarrassed by that! I stopped using this and the brightness returned to my under eyes. I have such a weird face/skin and how it reacts though (a.k.a this is not how normal people would probably react to this product). I think most people would like this though (thus the high rating of 3 from me). This is very similar to Mary K's under eye product (except the Mary K ball is metal and this one is plastic). So if you're looking for a cheaper version of that this would work nicely.
I've returned this product today, as I tried using it for 4 weeks and the main result I noticed was drying of the skin around my eyes. I was applying cream after the serum had dried, so it wasn't for lack of moisturizing.
I did notice a slight lightening of my under-eye circles, but the dry skin was far too concerning to want to continue use.
I love this little roller ball thingie.m I'm been looking for something that will help with my dark circles and lines and this does a great job with smoothing my eye area and making my circles look noticably lighter and its only been 2 days. I will edit as the situation changes. This is a great product. I think the packaging is a bit confusing because I thought I had the Insensive revitalizing eye serum because that's what the box says and the actual roller says renewing. Hmmm, who knows, but I do like this product. Wish me luck with it, lol.

This serum is absolutely fantastic! Usually I skip applying this every night, but even so, I've noticed that after only one treatment the night before, you will wake up to find your eye bags a little lighter! I will definitely repurchase this.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
love! I used to have dark circles and this product has significantly reduced the darkness! I don't even need to use concealer in pictures (in a dark place, lol). I use it inconsistently 1-2 times a day and I don't really have any problems other than the dark circles. It applies easily with the rollerball and has a watery consistency that I gently massage into the eye area.
I have tried many different eye treatments and what I like a lot about this one is that it absorbs really well and really does decrease fine lines! It has a slight stinging sensation when first applied so if you're very sensitive you may not like that but I think it's worth it! After a couple of weeks the product brightened my undereye circles and the instant hydration and plumping of fine lines each day was all I needed to make me want to buy the product again and again!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
The main reason I bought this serum was because my previous eye cream (BeneFit Eye Con) wasn't doing anything, and I wanted something that would have more effect on getting rid of my dark circles. I don't really have puffy eyes, so I can't really vouch for its effectiveness on that aspect. I've been using it regularly for about 4 weeks now, applying it in the morning and at night, and haven't really seen much of a difference, other than the skin around my eyes getting a little drier. I do like the packaging and the use of a rollerball to apply the serum - it does feel nice rolling it on my skin, especially if you leave the vial in the fridge, you get this soothing, cool feeling around your eyes. It's unfortunate that I don't think this product really worked for me to reduce the dark circles, and I feel like it's starting to irritate my skin a bit. I'll probably keep it around to use in the summer, as that nice cool feeling will refresh my eyes when the weather is hot and humid. Hopefully keeping it in the fridge until then will prolong the shelf life.
Unfortunately, this eye serum stings the area around my eyes very badly. I have tried it day and night for three days, thinking I just needed to adjust, but today when I went to wash my face, I had actual flakes all over my eyelids and beneath my eyes. I do think this could be a great product: the roll-on application is a fantastic idea, and I like the idea that vitamin C could help the skin, but this is too harsh. I know my eyes are very sensitive, as other popular eye creams have been horrible for me as well. Add this to the list of serums, creams and treatments that are too harsh for my sensitive skin around the eyes.

First of all, pick a fabric that matches your hood and cut 4 3" triangles.
Now cut 2 slightly smaller triangles out of a contrasting fabric.
Use your sewing machine, or needle and thread to sew the small triangle on to one of the bigger triangles.
Place the second big triangle on top of the this one, with the smaller triangle facing the inside. Pin this in place.
Sew the two bigger triangles together, leaving a small gap at the bottom.
Fold inside out and stuff with a small amount of stuffing to give the ear shape.
Fold the rough edges under and sew along the bottom of the ear.
Make two of these.
Pin your ears in the position they look best on the hood. Take a needle and thread, go sit in front of the TV and stitch the ears in place. Meow!

Encrypted Text: No'Kaled makes its claim for the throne {WoW}
Feb 15th 2012 3:29PM Most raiding rogues have NOT completed the second stage of the daggers. Please try and remember there are 10 million players and by far the majority do not raid at all and those that do raid do not raid at either the frequency or skill level that you and your friends at WowInsider enjoy.
By assuming everyone has the sleeper and the dreamer you turn off most of your audience.
What makes a bad word bad? {WoW}
Feb 1st 2012 4:06PM For me it's really simple. On our server Khaz modan there are bunch of people who spend their time trying very very hard to hurt other people, not characters but the humans at the keyboards.
When I see language used where the sole purpose is to cause harm to another human I report them. It's really that simple.
You can use any language you like to cause harm, I've reported perfectly ordinary words, where the use was to suggest that having a person raped would be a good thing.
I've also seen cursing or foul language used where the intent was pure humour - and successful humour at that - there is no reason to block that or report it.
For me it's all about the intent to harm another human.
Addon Spotlight: Grab Bag 7, probably the best grab bag {WoW}
Jan 19th 2012 8:43PM As someone said /DBM lockout helps.
But why have lockouts at all? As we've seen with the RF it is simply possible to make it so people who have already run the raid are ineligible for loot.
So that way the idi... er person who has already run the raid gets to help you kill the boss (hey they might want to help) but not get any loot.
Encrypted Text: Hot rogue news from the developer Q&A {WoW}
Nov 2nd 2011 4:37PM But at the moment utility poisons never work against bosses. Sure utility poisons are cool for trash but unless they allow bosses to be affected by utility poisons the raid leaders are hardly going to pick the rogue because the trash will be easier.
However, if they do allow utility poisons to work in boss fights then things get very interesting. You could even go back to weapon swaps to change your utility poison :).
Mists of Pandaria: The myth of the talent tree choice {WoW}
Oct 31st 2011 8:39PM If you stopped reading then you should never have commented. As it was, you missed some good thoughts but I guess since you can't be bothered reading you don't care do you.
What was that about lazy?
And for me as a pally, I think the new talents look fun, it will be neat to try different things and see if they fit with my play style.
And that's something the cookie cutters miss - every player is a bit different and some talents will suit players rather than encounters. Yes that speed talent may be optimal but in my raid group and with my latency it is better for me to use the other speed talent.
Not all the tiers are balanced that way but some of them are and that's a hell of a good start for a pre-alpha release.
The Cataclysm: A critical examination {WoW}
Oct 30th 2011 5:58AM Some Cataclysm observations from and very average guild.
We lost players on day one as the classses reset. particularly paladins who had to completely relearn their class and just couldn't be bothered.
We lost players when we hit heroics, because there was no gradation, you could end up in an easy heroic or in a horrible unforgiving wipefest (stonecore) and people lost interest and stopped playing.
And then we started raiding and we lost half our guild. We had been raiding in wrath, we had almost got to the LK (yes we were very average). Again the problem was lack of gradation. All the raids smacked us down horribly.
So the real problem from Cataclysm for our guild was lack of gradation. And I know that is terribly hard to actually do as a designer but it is also terribly important for player retention. And I think Blizzard has got that message, hence the LFR designed as easier.
I loved the new quests and the new zones. I was OK with Archeology - except it is a bit too random. I liked the new zones and understood why there wasn't more content.
And I'm looking forward to Pandaren.
Ready Check: How legendaries destroy PVE {WoW}
Oct 24th 2011 8:36PM It's worth noting that all the balance issues you described apply to less than 1% of the WoW community. Most players don't even raid.
Even if you consider only those that do raid then most guilds will never see a legendary made in their guild.
You talk about 20k+ dps being average? Sorry you have no perspective on what average dps really is. That may be average for the top guilds but for most guilds we're really happy to see anyone over 20k.
For most of us the legendary weapons are precisely that, we only ever see them on display by the SW fountain. And that's just fine with me, I'll whisper grats to them and I'll dream about getting a legendary when they are old content. Our guild has already nominated their legendary recipient, she has 5 embers now!
So get some perspective and if you think this is an issue then slap yourself in the face and remember that most of the players who read this will but utterly unaffected by your "balance" issue.
Drama Mamas: WoW vs. relationship {WoW}
Oct 17th 2011 8:50PM So lets be clear here. You want to know if it's OK for you to risk your relationship for WoW?
Sure you can try and persuade her you'll be a good boy, or restrict your time, or whatever ...
But you have basically said you value WoW more than your relationship. At that point you have some very serious questions to sort out in your life and none of them have anything to do with WoW. This is all about how much you value your relationship. If WoW is more important then it's because your relationship is not very important to you. At this point you need marriage guidance counseling whether you realise it or not.
Yes you can have hobbies and do things without your partner but your letter sends a very loud message that the value you place on your relationship is not as much as it used to be. Sort that out first and whether or not you can play WoW will fall into place. Get help now and not from the internet, find someone who has experience. Seriously sort out your relationship properly and WoW and any other hobby will fall into place easily.
The OverAchiever: Guide to Hallow's End 2011, part 2 {WoW}
Oct 13th 2011 9:08PM Did you forget a Mask for all occasions?
The new tanking threat paradigm and you {WoW}
Aug 17th 2011 11:06PM As a pally tank the least fun part of the game has always been fighting my own players. The constant need to shout at my own party or raid to get them to stop pulling mobs off me particularly in the first 10 seconds has always made tanking unfun.
These changes fix that.
Yet more messing with the way my survival abilities work? That I'm not so sure I'm keen on, but I'll adapt.

The President and his superiors in the Intelligence Community have stolen $80 million more dollars from the American people. This money could be used for schools or hospitals or scholarships. It is all gone, as all the other trillions of dollars stolen from the American people.
Obama, the Democrats and the Republicans and the corporate CEO's will continue rob us. They have all promised, permanent war.
After signing a 10-year lease and spending more than $80 million on a site envisioned as the United States' diplomatic hub in northern Afghanistan, American officials say they have abandoned their plans, deeming the location for the proposed compound too dangerous.

Flammable Sunscreen
Sunscreen Grilling
Brett Sigworth has learned a painful lesson about grilling...
He was on his back deck with friends warming up the grill for a great afternoon of food and fun. But he was about to be surprised by something THAT shouldn't have burned... but did.
Brett stepped away for a few minutes to apply a spray on sunscreen. He rubbed it on his chest, arms and shoulders and then went back to check the grill. He picked up one of the metal grates so he could move the briquettes around and within seconds he became a human torch!
FInders Keepers Doesn't Hold Up in Court!
MONEY WALLS (knock on wood....really! You could be rich!)
Imagine you bought a house. Now you've been in this house for 4 years and you decide to remodel. And thats when as you tear through the walls, you strike it RICH! You find cans and cans of money INSIDE the old walls... WOW!
That's what happened; and that's the dilemma for an Arizona couple who's remodeling project turned into a windfall piggy-bank. They literally found $500,000 dollars cash in the walls of their home.
Breast Cancer Break Through
Good news in the fight against Breast cancer....it's called the "Smart Bomb."
It's A combination of drugs that acts as a sort of "smart bomb" against breast cancer cells without damaging healthy ones. And so far, it's performing successfully in early testing.
In a key test involving nearly 1,000 women with very advanced disease, the experimental treatment extended by several months the time women lived without their cancer getting worse.
A Way to Solve The $$$ Issue in Schools
Last night the County Commissioners and School Board battled it out last night along with the community over the $35 million the school board wants to improve education.
The Mayor says no.
The Superintendent says yes.
The community is kind of split on whether taxes should be raised to cover the costs.
So, what is the answer to improving education without raising taxes?
Do you have the answer?
How would you feel about a new concept some schools are trying to get more money. Advertising in schools.
Facebook for Kids
Facebook developing technology to allow access to children under 13
Facebook is developing technology that would allow children younger than 13 years old to use the social-networking site under parental supervision, a step that could help the company tap a new pool of users for revenue but also inflame privacy concerns.
Money In Your Workouts
How many of you need to lose weight? What if you paid to do it?
About 16-percent of Americans have gym memberships. But a membership is just the beginning. The hard part is actually going.
Now, there's an app that can help provide that little extra boost to drop those extra pounds....
A free iphone app called gympact.
It's one of thousands of fitness related apps on the market. BUT it seems to be working because it's simple.
A Special Home Run
See the Video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpESgqrmlQk
When Dylan Coleman hit his first home run, it came off the bat with a very special sound. The spectators were stunned and the crowd roared to their feet.
The sad part of this story is his dad wasn't there. Dylan had to settle for a call to his dad to let him know he'd put one over the fence. Right then, his dad made a promise- that's the last home run he'd ever miss.

For Immediate Release
Contact: Nicole email@example.com www.MilitaryFamily.org 703.931.6632
April 25, 2013
ALEXANDRIA, VA, April 25, 2013 — The National Military Family Association is proud to celebrate National Volunteer Week, observed April 21-27, and take a moment to recognize the incredible volunteers who work with our organization to make a difference within the military community. In 1974, President Nixon established National Volunteer Week to recognize and celebrate the efforts of volunteers. Today, this extensive nationwide effort encourages and inspires people to volunteer within their communities. This year's theme, "Celebrate Service," helps us express our thanks for their selfless acts of kindness.
The National Military Family Association is celebrating our volunteers, both past and present, who have made a profound contribution to the Association and the military families we serve. While we are recognizing more than 175 volunteers and thanking them for all they do, there are three specific individuals who are receiving awards for their outstanding dedication and devotion.
This award was established in 1990 in honor of Margaret Vinson Hallgren, an individual whose dedication, initiative, and loyalty embody that of the ideal volunteer. It's presented to a volunteer or Board of Governors member in recognition of a "most valuable contribution" to the National Military Family Association. The 2013 Margaret Vinson Hallgren Award is presented to Jackie Campbell, Arlington, Virginia. In 2012, Jackie volunteered her time as the Historical Accounting and Preservation Volunteer. She created a repository of historic files, references, and photographs for use in research and in Association publications.
Established in 1998 in honor of Novella Gibson Whitehead, one of the Association's most dedicated volunteers, this award is presented to a representative who best fulfills the duties and responsibilities of their assigned position, and most effectively promotes the interest of the Association and those it serves. The 2013 Novella Gibson Whitehead Award is presented to Jennifer Herbek, Hohenfels, Germany. In 2012, she co-hosted an Association information table at a mini Americans Working Around the Globe (AWAG) Conference. Jennifer researched programs and the experiences of families in her community to help address questions and concerns, wrote articles and contributed valuable content for the Association's app, MyMilitaryLife.
The Volunteer Corps Service Award This award was created in 2010 recognizing a new volunteer (under two years of volunteer service with the Association) who displays leadership in fulfilling the duties and responsibilities of their appointed position, and effectively promotes the interests of the Association and those it serves. The 2013 Volunteer Corps Service Award is presented to Marielle Beniquez, MacDill Air Force Base, Florida.
In addition to these three awards, our Association is recognizing the recipients of the President's Council on Service and Civic Participation awards. These were established in 2003 and are based on yearly volunteer hours. Awards include the Bronze level, recognizing 100 to 249 hours; the Silver level for 250 to 499 hours; and the Gold level award for 500 or more reported volunteer hours. The National Military Family Association is proud to recognize the work of forty volunteers, representatives, and Board of Governor members who have earned the President's Volunteer Service Award for 2013. Click here to see the full list of recipients.
"We couldn't do what we do today without our volunteers," said Executive Director, Joyce Raezer. "It takes a very special individual to volunteer their personal time for the betterment of others. We are thankful for the support our volunteers provide our military community and the Association. They help us not only do our mission, but do it well."
To learn more about the National Military Family Association and how you can volunteer, please visit our Get Involved section.
Until military families are relieved of the weight of war, we hope you will continue to contribute to their wellbeing.

My name is Mosche (pronounced - Moe-shee) and I am a a TRI-POD dog! You see I only have three legs BUT I can run like the wind. Also affectionately known as a "Tripod". I am just shy of my 5th birthday - and I am considered a Golden Retriever Mix. I am super sweet, LOVE to play with other dogs and having a dog in my house is a must because I tend to become stressed if you or my dog friends are not around. No small children or cats please. Cats to me seem like squirrels or chickens and I want to chase them down. Right now I am with my foster family which consists of 4 other dogs and I am having a blast. I am house trained and do not need a crate. So if you are looking for the cutest boy in the world to add to your family, say MOSCHE and I will be your boy!
If interested adopting in Mosche, visit our website at http://www.adoptagoldenknoxville.org/new_england.html. If all that looks good,please move forward and fill out an application.
NOTE: Adopt A Golden Knoxville rescue doesn't have an actual shelter building in your area. These dogs are fostered in private homes in East Tennessee. Therefore, it is not possible to meet the dogs and pups prior to their adoption. They are brought up north on a USDA transport
Other Pets at Adopt A Golden Knoxville - Danbury, CT
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Mosche, a Danbury Golden Retriever/Shepherd (Unknown Type) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Golden Retriever/Shepherd (Unknown Type) for sale in Danbury, or seeking a Golden Retriever/Shepherd (Unknown Type) dog from a breeder in Danbury.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Danbury already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Danbury breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Golden Retriever/Shepherd (Unknown Type) breeders who help with Golden Retriever/Shepherd (Unknown Type) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Danbury paves the way for another one to be saved.

Lorain County Community College waiting list - anyone else? - page 4
Hi Everyone. Just wondered if anyone else is on the loooong waiting list for LCCC. How long have you been there? Are all of your support classes done? When do you expect to get in? Myself,... Read More
0Nov 14, '11 by jennylouwhoLOL, my prior post about the length of the list, should have said list and not lust. Auto correct using my itouch, lol.
0Nov 14, '11 by ScottE,RNQuote from jennylouwhoI'm doing okay! I wish I could say the same for all my classmates. Some have had trouble with nursing style questions. While you wait, you should check out a book on taking nursing exams. The questions usually have more than one correct answer, but you have to pick the best answer and if you're not used to that type of question, it can be difficult.
Pretty much the defacto standard for most nursing programs. That first semester is when most folks drop/fail out. -
0Nov 15, '11 by jennylouwhoTrue. But as long as they have to wait, it's worth the time to learn how to take these tests.
0Nov 21, '11 by hannah33OMG reading this forum has made me literally want to cry. (Just kidding, but kind of). I applied to the program in January 2011, was told by the advisor that I would likely not be accepted for the fall of 2011 but hopefully the spring for sure. So I have been banking on beginning clinicals this spring. Clearly, lots of others had the same idea. How depressing to hear that it might seriously be until the Spring of 2013!? I have begun to apply to other schools because I am already a junior and am almost finished with BSN prerequisites as well, and it is definitely time for me to start clinicals. The wait list is RIDICULOUS, they need to do something to make it go faster. More teachers or bigger class sizes or something. Has anybody reading this received their acceptance letter for Spring 2012 yet? I'm hoping there are lots of people who turn down the program because they were accepted into another program sooner. I am finishing A&P2 and Micro this semester and then I am completely done with prereqs....which was much more exciting before all of this bad news haha!
0Nov 21, '11 by jennylouwhoLetters went out for spring. You might get a call, so answer any calls that come through. When they have someone decline, they will call down the list until someone answers the phone and can come to campus.
0Nov 22, '11 by snickers21I'm so sorry Hannah. Yes, there is a very long wait. Unfortunately if you haven't finished your support classes (micro & A&P2) yet, you aren't in the "pool" to even be eligible for a letter or call.
There are quite a few of us in my micro class that this is our last support course too. I will be elated if I could get in next fall, but I'm not going to count on it.
Have you looked into CSU? You have to apply by March 1st.
Good luck! -
0Nov 23, '11 by jennylouwhoWell, that's what they say, but you will always hear if someone in that isn't done with support classes. I'm not sure how it happens! There is someone in my class who still needs a and p 2. She said she was only on the wait list a year when she started LAST fall(she dropped bc of a hospitalization that forced her to miss too many labs and clinicals).
0Jan 11, '12 by lcp6406So yesterday was my first day of Chem 162 and most of the class is nursing students, many like myself just trying to get BSN prereq's out of the way while we wait the horribly long wait to begin clinicals for the ADN program. Anyways, one girl was saying that she has renewed her application THREE times..aka has been waiting for three years. She said she met with a counselor who was totally honest with her and told her that she has not gotten in because the program is "a business, like anything else, and because she only takes one class at a time the college feels they will get more money from someone who takes several classes at one". I'm not sure why she has been taking one class at a time, but I am now freaking out because Chem 162 is the only course I am taking this semester. I am in my third year though and I have been a full time student every semester except for Fall 2011, where I took A&P 2 and Micro at the same time, which is when I finished up all of my prereq's for the program. Most people say they waited one more semester after they completed their prereq's and then got in. I am worried that the fact that I am only taking one class this semester will hurt my chances, but that is the last prereq I have for both my ADN and my BSN. Sorry LCCC but I'm not going to take classes I don't need just because your wait list is ridiculously long! Wanted somebody else's advice on this one because that just sounds messed up!

Check out the latest news about European citrus in this USDA FAS report, including the heavy pressure on growers of easy peelers. Also, I've excerpted a portion of the report on changes to EU agriculture policy and support.
EU-27 citrus orchards include orange, lemon, mandarin and grapefruit groves. Production is mainly located in the Mediterranean regions of Spain, Italy and Greece, with lesser production in France, Cyprus, Malta and Portugal. For MY 2010/11, total EU citrus production is expected to be stable with a 5 percent decrease in orange production and a minor increase in mandarin, lemon, and grapefruit production.
Production: While Spanish farmers continue to replant their groves with new varieties to extend the production season, the principal obstacle to mandarin production remains the production windfall during the initial months of the marketing year -- October, November and December. Spain's tangerine production is expected to increase by approximately 8 percent to 2,190,000 MT in MY 2010/11.
This year the weather was favorable. Spring was cool and rainy giving the plant optimal development conditions and this translated in a good production of fruit with adequate commercial sizes. Tangerines are the second most important citrus product in Portugal, after oranges. The Algarve is the most representative region. The production of tangerines is also expected to increase in MY 2010/11 to over 68,000 MT due to good weather. Italian tangerine MY 2010/2011 harvest is forecast to remain stable at MY 2009/10 levels.
Despite that Italian tangerine producers are facing hard times in MY 2010/11 due to falling prices triggered by increasing supply in the world market. Growing imports especially from Spain together with decreasing domestic consumption are severely hampering the tangerine sector in the main producing regions (Sicilia, Calabria and Basilicata). If prices do not rise over the marketing year, farm margins are expected to be negative. According to first estimates however, early easy peelers from Calabria show a good quality level. MY 2010/11 production is expected at 835,000 MT slightly above previous year harvest.
About 20 percent of total crop is represented by the traditional mandarins, cultivated mainly in Sicily, while the remaining 80 percent is given by the hybrid varieties, which prevail in other southern regions (Calabria and Apulia). Greek tangerine production is expected to increase by 10 percent in MY 2010/2011. The main producing areas include the prefectures of Igoumenitsa, Arta, Mosologgi, and Thesprotia, located in northern Greece. Clementine is the major tangerine variety grown in Greece.

Corn & Black Bean Chips. Oil- and Gluten-free. Almost Raw.
- Details
- 47 Comments
My roving tastebuds are on a continual quest for yummy, healthy chips – and I think this is my most successful recipe yet. The inspiration comes from a bag of Garden of Eatin' Black Bean Corn Tortilla Chips but mine are (mostly) raw, contain no oil and no ingredient shenanigans. The bright flavors of cilantro and lime really bring these chips alive. Being mostly raw and all.
For the black bean and corn salsa recipe pictured here, please visit my recipe on One Green Planet.
In just a couple of days, the madness of Vegan MoFo begins. What that means is a whole lot more posts from many of the vegan bloggers I know and love – – and a lot more from me (20+ to be exact, including TWO cookbook reviews with giveaways). This is my second year and I'm a little better organized (plus I have a theme) than I was last year, but I'm still feeling the pressure and hoping that it all somehow comes together. If not, well, that's okay, too. Here's to another crazy, fun, and tasty Month of Food!
Corn & Black Bean Chips
- 1 cup frozen corn, thawed and drained
- 1 cup walnuts, soaked for about 8 hours, drained
- 1 15 oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/4 cup red onion (about 1 thick slice)
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup flaxseed meal
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp. cumin
- 1 tbsp. dried onion
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. black pepper
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp. coriander
- pinch cayenne
- zest and juice of 1 lime
- In a food processor, combine the corn, walnuts, black beans, red onion, garlic, water, and process until smooth. Add the cilantro and pulse a few times. You want to be able to see green flecks. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, stir together the flaxseed meal, sesame seeds, cumin, dried onion, salt, pepper, garlic powder, coriander, cayenne, and lime zest and juice. Add the corn/bean mixture and stir very well, making sure there are no lumps of flaxseed.
- Spread the mixture evenly over a dehydrator tray that's been covered with a non-stick sheet. It should completely fill the tray. Use a rolling pin, if you like, but I find it goes faster if I just pat the mixture into place.
- Turn the dehydrator to 145F and dry for 30 minutes. Remove the sheet from the dehydrator and gently score the dough into desired shapes. Turn the temperature to 115F and dehydrate for about 10 hours. To speed drying, after about 3 hours, place a dehydrator tray fitted with a screen on top of the crackers, flip, peel off the non-stick sheet, and put the tray back into the dehydrator.
- The chips should be very dry, crispy and break apart easily. Store in an airtight container.
Ok, you're killing me Annie! I want to lick my screen!
We seriously need taste-a-vision :-)!
This is actually the healthiest and tastiest snack food ever
Choc Chip Uru-
By golly, I think you're right!
Lime? Amazing! You're getting very good use out of your dehydrator.
What surprised me is how the lime flavor really came through. Love lime…
My brother in law bought a packet of dehydrated chips that looked pretty much like these. Can't remember the brand. They were good but probably not as good as yours… love the addition of the lime and the spices, yum!!
– thanks, Laura! I was pretty darn pleased with these.
Awesome-needed a good new cracker recipe
Gotta have crackers/chips in the cupboard, right?!
Looks amazing! I cant wait to get a dehydrator. Can you make these in a very low heated oven instead? x
That should work just fine – keep your oven as low as it will go and keep the door open a bit to let the air circulate. You might even try just baking them at a higher temp until crisp.
I will try that thanks hopefully getting a dehydrator in a few months though but I can't wait hehe! x
It's SO fun!
Okay, so I've got to ask Santa for a dehydrator. What do you use and are you happy with it? Thanks Annie.
I think Santa would be very happy for you to have a dehydrator. You being so good this year and all. I have a 9-tray Excalibur and it's been great. One thing to keep in mind is that they're noisy beasts so mine lives in the garage.
Thank you! Always good to have a review from an actual person rather than a schill My VitaMix lives in the basement days I work so I can whiz up a smoothie without waking up my boys! Thanks again.
The Vitamix is also a monster – – a couple of times I've brought it with me on trips and fired it up in my hotel room. I get up pretty early and I'm sure my neighbors didn't appreciate it – oops! Hey, green smoothies take precedence over EVERYthing!
I have all those ingredients and Amazon dispatched my dehydrator on Monday .. I hope it comes tomorrow so I can make these at the weekend! They look yum.
Ooooh fun, fun! I went a little dehydrator crazy when I first got mine. You kind of want to put everything in there :-).
I know! I'm actually reluctant to leave the house today in case the postman calls with it I ordered it because of my wasabi pea addiction but I imagine I'll just accrue a whole new host of addictions with it!
Oh wow, I haven't tried making wasabi peas in there! I LOVE them! I hope you'll let me know when you've got a recipe :-)!
I will indeed
I'm a chip/cracker fiend! I would probably just eat the entire sheet as one large chip! HA!
I can't say that that hasn't been done already…
You remind me that I want a dehydrator! But I also want a yogurt maker…Ack! I can't decide! These look lovely! I wish I could eat corn just so I could eat these.
Get the dehydrator :-)! I only say that because I under use my yogurt maker.
You could substitute carrots for the corn – or use more beans.
Sounds like a great idea! And as for the appliance choice, more thought is needed…
I'm not familiar with Vegan MoFo. Is this something that you started Annie? I'll check out the link. Celeste
I wish I'd come up w/ the idea!
[…] Corn & Black Bean Chips. Oil- and Gluten-free. Almost Raw.. […]
Your chips sound divine! I can't wait to see what you have up your sleeves for MoFo next month. I can't believe it's just a day away!
So excited about this year's MoFo!
Me, too! Just checked to see if they have the blogroll published yet…still not there.
Cleanest cracker recipe ever? I think so!
Also, drats, can't believe I will not be participating in MoFo again…oh well there's alwas next year and I can't wait to read your posts!
MoFo takes up a huge amount of time! But now you have full year to plan ;-).
Made these over the holiday weekend in the oven as someone suggested – 175 degrees. They are wonderful! Transferred them to an aerated pizza pan after I scored them to increase the air circulation! Thanks Ann! Claudia
Yay! Good to know the low temp oven works – and I'm so glad you like them!
Thank you for bravely trying at 175! I'm going to make them now

Instead of me using corn, maybe rice flour? What do you think, I'm Trying to stay away from corn.

Finished painting my suitcase. Sort of one stroke plus experimental roses--trying to get a more fluffy/shabbychic looking rose. Not too bad for my first try, but lots of room for improvement. ;o)
Would love to find some of the old square cosmetic cases too--they paint up really pretty. The inside of this one is in really good condition, but I haven't painted anything inside it yet, may add a few roses later. Luvs |

I think it is LOVELY! Good job! |
Luvs, that is absolutely beautiful! You are sooooo good with the roses. What a lucky GD to have a grandmother that does such pretty things! |
- Posted by craftylady-2006 (My Page) on Sun, Apr 22, 07 at 17:51
Very nice Luvs. I like your idea of putting the dots inside the rose bud area, that really makes it stand out. Sal |
- Posted by purplemoon (My Page) on Sun, Apr 22, 07 at 20:05
WOW and more WOW !!!!!!!!!! That is gorgeous, Luvs! Ok, so now you are going to make me a pink fan too it seems. I love this. You are such a talented painter and I am always amazed at folks who can do this. I am doing good to paint a WALL. Karen |
- Posted by mary7060_mi (My Page) on Sun, Apr 22, 07 at 22:11
Just beautiful!!!! I love roses too! |
- Posted by luvstocraft (My Page) on Mon, Apr 23, 07 at 2:28
Thanks for all the kind words ladies. I enjoyed doing it. Glad you enjoyed seeing it. Now you know I do accomplish something besides hang out on the forums all the time--however the forums are very addictive! ;o) Luvs |
- Posted by paintingfool (My Page) on Mon, Apr 23, 07 at 10:11
Luvs, you did great!!! You experiment really well, I love the background - did you sponge it on? |
Well done as always luvs. Your practice has sure paid off. Love your "fluffy" roses. What are you going to use the suitcase for? I mean, besides a suitcase,ha, anything special? ~Anj |
- Posted by luvstocraft (My Page) on Mon, Apr 23, 07 at 18:59
Hi PF, the background was just "slip slap" painting with a double loaded cheap paintbrush. You could certainly get a similar effect by sponging it. I still want to get better at doing the roses, but know that will come with practice. Want to do the one stroke sunflower next I think--just need to find a surface that I want to do it on. ;o) Thanks, Anj, they are not perfect by any means, but will keep doing them until I get better at it. If I keep the suitcase, I will probably put GD's play dress up clothes in it--and slide it under the guest room bed. I have them in a zippered plastic bag now. When she saw it yesterday, all she said was "what's inside it?" LOL However, I would sort of like to find a canvas one and paint raggedy's or some other toy type design on it for her. Something more kid style. A small one with wheels would be great so she could drag it around the house. I might just sell this one when we have a yard sale--just don't have the room to keep very much stuff anymore. Okay, I showed you mine, now I am waiting to see your first one stroke project--first projects are so exciting! ;o) Luvs |
I have a big piece of slate that I wanting to do mine on, but have to wait for the rain to go away so I can paint outside. Not lugging that piece of stone in the house to paint it. ha If it turns out ok I'll post a pic or it may have to be sanded more than once. I'm afraid that's what's going to happen. :) ~Anj |
- Posted by luvstocraft (My Page) on Mon, Apr 23, 07 at 23:33
Hey Anj, one little tip that might be helpful--when you have part of your painting done and really like it, spray a bit of the Krylon matte on it. That way if you don't like a leaf or filler flower you paint later--you can just wipe it away and it won't mess up the part underneath that you sprayed. ;o) Luvs |
Thanks, I will remember that. Thought I might get started today, but alas it's picture day at school tomorrow and have to go find a co-ordinating shirt for DD and grocery shopping. Maybe tomorrow afternoon after I take my 2 yr old for her picture. It should be 70 and sunny!! ~Anj |
- Posted by luvstocraft (My Page) on Tue, Apr 24, 07 at 16:31
Ahhh! School picture days--that brings back memories. Any of yours trimmed their own hair with the scissors lately? I think most of us have pics like that from our childhoods! LOL Is your slate going to be one you walk on? Sounds to big to hang it. I can hardly wait to see it. ;o) Luvs |
Thankfully none of them have done that yet.....knock on wood! I never cut my own hair, but my dollies sure did suffer. ha My DD's friend was teasing my 9 yr old the other day and made him fall down and he has a nice sized goose egg on his forehead, but it's almost gone and hopefully won't be too noticable in the picture. They usually find a way to get some kind of scrape, bump or bruise or lose a tooth right before picture day. My 7 yr old's 2 front teeth are loose and I told him to quit messing with them until after pictures. ha Perfectionist mommy for you. ha The slate is not that big, but it is pretty heavy. I think it will just stand up in my flower bed. I guess I'm calling it the right thing. It's a flat rock from our back patio that got tore up from a tree falling. Somebody else called it slate so I guess I assumed they knew what they were talking about. ha Maybe you can tell me when I post the pic. I'm just now eating lunch and waiting for the kids to get home so I can hit the road again. If my battery is finally charged for my camera I may have one pic to post. Somebody unplugged it the other day before it charged. :( ~Anj |

hi luvs the job you done on the suite case is so good . i love the way the pink flowers really stands out and has so much charm that only a lady could come up with. for your first attempt it looks amazing and puts my effort on roses in the pale. lol .i may have many on some of my items but quality of yours will always outshine quantity. cant wait for the matching luggage. lol . steve |
- Posted by luvstocraft (My Page) on Sat, Nov 3, 07 at 12:08
Hi Steve, this was my first suitcase, but not my first roses. I spent hours pouring through the Donna Dewberry One Stroke books and videos and the practicing doing the rose. Mine is not perfect, but I'm just pleased to finally be able to paint one. For awhile, I was painting them on all kinds of things--metal trays, garden signs, over the door plaques, flowerpots, etc. Glad you enjoyed looking at them. Luvs |
OMG luvs... the suitcase is beautiful! l love the way you paint the roses, i also love the background shade you did! nice work! |
- Posted by luvstocraft (My Page) on Sat, Nov 22, 08 at 11:48
Oh, I see you found one of my rose projects! Glad you liked this, I was trying to sort of use the one stroke rose and "soften" it a bit. I ordered a cd from ebay by The Shabby Cottage and she does wonderful soft fluffy roses, so I'm trying to learn her style too. That's where I got the "slip slap" painting idea for the background on this one. I really enjoy painting the roses, and have bought several metal trays from the TS that I hope to get painted with roses some day. I'd love to see any you have painted too if you have pictures.

Blankenship, Stoner, Thompson, Vasko, and 1994 NAIA Soccer Team to Join Wesleyan Hall of Fame
Thursday, October 11th, 2012
West Virginia Wesleyan College will induct its newest class into its Athletic Hall of Fame, October 20. The inductees include legendary high school women's basketball coach Stanley Blankenship, softball standout Adriene Mertz Stoner, All-American Soccer star Michael Thompson, women's basketball great Becky Lazzari Vasko, and the 1994 NAIA Men's Soccer Championship Team. The dinner and ceremony will begin at 5:00 p.m. in the Benedum Campus Center Social Hall on Wesleyan's campus.
Blankenship was a three-sport athlete in the black and orange, playing football and basketball as well as running track. After graduation, he took the reins of the John Marshall High School girls' basketball program where he became West Virginia's all-time leader in coaching victories.
Mertz Stoner was a standout in the circle for Steve Warner's softball program from 1999-02. Mertz is one of two pitchers to be named WVIAC Pitcher of the year each of her four seasons of eligibility, and was selected to the All-Great Lakes Region Team once.
