This new player is also based on a legendary predecessor in the shape of the SACD 1250 R, which has garnered one of the best sets of reviews over the last few years. Naturally we have retained the earlier machine's overall design, but have introduced new components and technologies such as OAD and 32-bit mode to gain further improvements in sound quality. The SACD 1260 R is a thoroughbred two-channel player which was developed with the sole purpose of delivering the finest possible stereo reproduction from CD and SACD. These two formats are entirely different, and therefore require wholly different processing; that is the only way of extracting the optimum results from both. T+A has adopted a unique philosophy for audio reproduction: each music format has its own independent signal process; there are even separate oscillators for CD and SACD.
The converter / analogue output section of the SACD 1260 R represents the peak of what is feasible with today's technology: no fewer than eight of the latest Burr-Brown / TI D/A converters are employed, with four forming the unique T+A quadruple converter for each channel, now working in 32-bit mode in conjunction with the digital signal processor. The digital section is totally separated from the analogue section by the use of i-Couplers, while the output stage is well up to analogue High-End standards. Separate mains power sections and voltage supplies for analogue and digital sections are typical of our designs, as are encapsulated sub-assemblies, a High-End pushrod-based disc mechanism and an analogue method of switching the output bandwidth.

Against feedback effects, shielding measures to eliminate induced RF interference, a floating suspension disc mechanism in an anti-resonance housing, a sophisticated, fully encapsulated quadruple converter and total galvanic de-coupling of the digital and analogue sections; all these features form the basis for a level of sound quality and measured data very close to the limit of what is physically possible.

I drove the Toyota Prius for the first time and, uh, I'm thinking of buying one.
I know. I know! The Prius represents everything many auto enthusiasts love to hate. But my girlfriend drives more than 100 miles a day, meaning she could actually benefit from the exceptional fuel economy. The young lady, a financial analyst by trade, quickly calculated the potential savings and inquired why I had never so much as mentioned the Prius during our car-buying discussions. The obvious answer, "Because it's not a car guy's car," didn't sway her.
What the Prius is, is a roomy, comfortable car that gets great gas mileage. And it isn't even all that bad to drive as far as front-wheel-drive, four-cylinder, mid-size cars go. Sure, there are some nerdy quirks, such as the weird texturing on the hard plastic dash and an awkwardly designed shifter. But for a base price of $22,750 (there's no way I'd consider one equipped to our test car's $26,550), the Prius is a perfectly reasonable option.

Definitely a keeper! Light and fresh, great for summer meals when all the beans are in season. I used fresh favas and home-grown green beans, basil and lemons. Both Romano and wax beans would be a tasty and pretty addition, as would dragon beans or purple varieties of bush beans. The only disadvantage is that shelling and then peeling favas is time consuming; however, shelled frozen favas or the edamame suggested in the recipe would not detract from the fantastic flavors at all. This will be a new staple recipe.
Because I couldn't find Romano or fava beans, I used green, wax, and edamame. It was very good, but I'd like to find the other kinds of beans if I make it again.
My grocery store had no Romano beans, so I went with edamame, green beans, and blanched asparagus cut into small pieces. It was very good.
I won't rate this recipe, as all I had were green beans - but, the flavors were very nice.

2013 and Earlier - Jeep Cherokee (All) Prices Paid and Buying Experience
trader85 Posts: 6Just picked up a 26x package in NY for $19,500, before tax and warranty. Did this with employee pricing (all AARP members get employee pricing) then all the rebates and discounts. Had to shop around a lot, but I got this deal from an internet manager after sending emails to every dealer on Long Island.
domz Posts: 11trader85 is that brand new if it is thats AWESOME and gets me mad at myself for not responsibly shopping.. If these are the same cars ( mine 2008 brand new ) thats a 6000.00 difference thats out of hand.... One question when you say before warranty what do U mean.. if its a 2008 brand new it has the lifetime powertrain and 3/36 basic.. Did you by that extended chrylser warranty... ??
domz Posts: 11one last response I also financed 100% of the deal, which I am sure is a factor.. If you have 20K case I an sure you are in a better negotiating position.. Eitherway great job in doing your homework........ Hopefully others post there cost on 2008 laredo with 26x.... Again so I paid around 26K without taxes included yet.. I am not including that extended contract for now I wil probably cancel it...
bill11783 Posts: 21I have heard the same pricing for the 26x (around $19.9k - $20.1k for a 4x4, not a 2WD).
From what I understand....not all states can offer this pricing (added rebates/incentives). NY can. There are still '08s left. (NJ is not allowed to offer all the rebates).
There are a few dealers that are buying up stock from other states (2008 Grand Cherokees Laredos, Liberty,....) and deep discounting them.
As for the warranty.....go to the Jeep.com site. As I mentioned in a previous post....I had shopped around and found that they were by far the cheapest you will find.
Got the lifetime MaxPlan for $1,480 (includes tax....and 0% financing for 12 months).
They are offering discounted pricing through the end of the year.
Good luck to all! -
trader85 Posts: 6Hey, yea, it is a Brand New, 4x4 in Red Rock color. Bought the lifetime max care warranty through the dealer and they matched the price of calling chrysler directly, I remember paying $1400 aprox. The dealer also said I get a free GPS in the mail from Chrysler.
The important part of my deal was the AARP employee pricing before the rebates. I wound up financing and used balloon payment financing to get additional rebates along with the standard rebates listed on the jeep website. I got the last one at my dealer with the 26X package, but i know there are other dealers on Long Island that have 26X packages. Just check their websites inventory, as every jeep dealer website should have its inventory listed, that's how I found mine. -

Who is the dealership in Long Island that you used - was it Westbury Jeep?
Thanks -
steamdiggs Posts: 5I'm sure you all know that Chrysler Jeep is hurting, so if you're in the market for a new '08 JGC Limited with Hemi and fully loaded(nav, rear camera, 18" Chrome wheels, sirius for a year, sirius nav traffic for a year, leather, moon roof, ESP, myGig, iPod input etc)...now is the time to buy it. I bought mine 2 days ago in Jeep Green, MSRP $39,956 and I bought it for $26,000 + tax and license= $28,976.04, I don't know how low they would've gone if I didn't feel comfortable with paying $26k for it. They tried to stick it to me at finance and I didn't budge, I told them that I would research the Lifetime Max Plan which they were selling to me for $2,999, I called Jeep directly and they sold it to me for $1405 tax included. I am very happy because Chrysler is getting bailed out by the White House and there is a strong possibility of merging with GM, so my warranty will actually be worth buying. BTW I recommend the Power Jeep Chrysler in Valencia, CA.
domz Posts: 11Yea Nice Job.. I paid alitte Less BUT I only have the 2008 laredo with the 26x package.. I did buy the added care wrap ( its a long story ) for around 2800.00 BUT am in the process of canceling it..Once it quiets down I might reprice the extended warranty as I did get quotes of it being alot cheaper.....
naatz1 Posts: 187The extended warranty or service contracts like added care and max care are really insurance policies. They may have the Jeep/Chrysler name on them but they are run by and owned by a separate company ... the same outfit runs both Jeep/Chrysler and Ford so it will be interesting if Jeep gets bought by GM but I doubt if that really matters for the extended warranty. Supposedly they have a separate "insurance fund for the insurance company (Svc Contract)" setup by our State but I am still waiting to hear back from my dealer on how that would work if both Chrysler -and- the extended warranty company were gone (it's the same type of fund that backs up home, life insurance or annuities if those companies go under). Things are more optimistic that Jeep will definitely be around even if not a part of Chrysler, it's a strong enough brand that Nissan was even interested earlier this Fall. So I am not real worried that my 13 month old 07 JGC 3/36 or the added care 7/70 warranties I bought will have problems, however this LifeTime engine and drivetrain warranty may be more interesting if Chrysler would end up selling off or worse yet going bye bye.
So far no problems with our 4wd Laredo 4.7L and we just got back from 4 hours driving around in a messy snowstorm, you know it's worth having the 4wd safety when the weather is this ugly in MN. -
domz Posts: 11Just to summarize my deal again from NE dealer, ended up around 27,600 ( 2008 4x4 26x package ) after taxes including paperwork Title etc and gap insurance. I am not mentioning extended warranty because I am canceling it and I did not shop my deal fro sevral reasons... I have seen posts for lower costs but no consistency in someone saying go here they have more at this/lower cost and everyones situation is different based on credit etc...... Basically you need to shop the deal at multiple dealers with your terms BUT do not tell each the others cost and that will give you a good idea of where things are at.. After looking around after my purchase I dont think 23,995 is BAD if its a NEW 2008 4x4 with 26x package... BUt do think that price will/can go down based on other posts from other buyers. Keep me posted interested to here what happens... A couple of quick questions does the 23,995 include docs/processing costs ? Does not sound like that includes taxes yet bbut if it does AWESOME? you can check ebay as a gauge also, I am not consistently seeing 2008 new 4x4 26x packages for lets say 20K..
domz Posts: 11I am sorry based on all my posts that I cannot answer that BUT had to ask.. Did you get prices from multiple dealerships WITHOUT telling each one the others cost, if so how did they compare as that kind of shopping should give you an idea of how you are doing........At a glance your price seems OK but if you shop it I bet it goes lower... I am in the north east, My 2008 26x 4x4 NEW was around 27,600 including taxes and includes document/registration and gap insurance. I DID NOIT SHOP MY DEAL, long story..... I would say based on what I have seen thats ( my cost ) is high. The #518 post says they paid around 28,500 for NEW 08 limited loaded with hemi.. Does your your price include title and registration and taxes, if not add a few thousand to your #.. Also BE CARE FULL with the extended warranty options the dealers prices are HIGH... Good luck
number1ceo Posts: 1Wow, steamdiggs any chance I can get a copy of the breakdown so I can put it in front of my local dealers here in Cleveland, OH? Word is we are going into Employee Pricing on Monday, 1/26, but I still can't see the prices going that low...well maybe if it's an '08.
Either way, good for you steamdiggs, I can only hope to pull a deal similiar to that. -
schimmey Posts: 6I am looking for a used 2008. A private seller has one with 250 miles on it that they purchased in Dec. MSRP they say was 35,000. They want to sell for 22,500. Blue book is stating 18,000 what would be a fair offer considering from what I am reading they probably got a good deal when it was purchased.
brettster26 Posts: 1
paule Posts: 382"Im looking at a 2008 Grand Cherokee 4x4 with 23,000 miles the asking price for the car is $21,900 Im wondering what the number is i should go in there with for an offer? and what the number is that i should pay??? Please HELP???? "
That sounds high. Look at this post from a page back:
"I am looking to purchase a 2008 Grand Cherokee Laredo with the 26X package. So far the best deal I have been offered is $23,995 for a GC that has a sticker of $36,420."
I know I'd be willing to pay $2,000 more for 0 miles instead of 23,000 miles. You can do better.

Clair Brothers Gives Cathedral of College Basketball A Righteous Audio Upgrade With HARMAN Professional Components
PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania â Dubbed the âCathedral of College Basketball,â The University of Pennsylvaniaâs Palestra is one of the countryâs most historic college arenas. Founded in 1927, the 8,722-seat Palestra is home to Pennâs Quakers menâs and womenâs basketball, volleyball and wrestling teams. Itâs known for its unusually intimate seating but not for its sound systemâuntil receiving a new audio system featuring HARMANâs JBL Professional loudspeakers and Crown amplifiers, courtesy of systems integrator Clair Brothers Audio Systems.
âThe existing sound system simply wasnât meeting the needs of the facility,â said Tim Mazur of Clair Brothers. âIt was underpowered and couldnât compete with the reverberant acoustics of the arena.â After conducting an acoustical analysis of the Palestra, Clair Brothers designed a new system based around JBL VRX932LA-1 Constant Curvature loudspeakers and ASB6118, all powered by Crown amplifiers.
As part of the renovation, Clair Brothers designed and fabricated a custom 2-layer rigging grid that can be raised and lowered from the ceiling, placing it in the optimum position during games and other events and out of the way when not required. The fly grid holds 30 JBL VRX932LA-1 line arrays arranged in six clusters of five each, with eight ASB6118 subs hung from the center. In addition, four JBL AM5212/95 loudspeakers deliver fill sound onto the basketball court. The loudspeakers are powered by one Crown Macro-Tech 5000i and 10 Macro-Tech 9000i amplifiers, linked together by a BSS Audio BLU-160 signal processor with digital audio bus and a BLU-BOB2 break-out box.
âThe Palestra is a very difficult acoustic space because itâs highly reverberant, but we were not allowed to apply any acoustical treatment,â Mazur said. Working in conjunction with JBL, Clair Brothers determined the JBL VRX932LA-1 loudspeakers would deliver the most output for the budget thanks to their compact size, ease of installation, and 100 x 15-degree coverage pattern.
âWe had a very tight turnaround on the project â only nine weeks from the time of the purchase order was issued to the completion date,â Mazur pointed out. As a result, Clair Brothers hung and tested the entire system at its Manheim, Pennsylvania headquarters before installing it in the Palestra.
âThe system sounds great and everyoneâs really excited about having it in time for the basketball season,â Mazur concluded.
For more information on Clair Brothers, please visit www.clairsystems.com

PMC® (Nasdaq: PMCS), the semiconductor innovator transforming networks that connect, move, and store big data, announced today that the Company will exercise its right under the corresponding indenture (the "indenture") to redeem all of the Company's 2.25% senior convertible notes due 2025 (the "notes"). The redemption will take place on October 20, 2012, at one hundred per cent (100%) of the outstanding principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Has anyone with pots tried the Lady Bug potting soil? I listen to a local garden show host who really pushes organics and he is not at all a Miracle Grow fan due to the buildup of salts, the added fertilizers and the fact that it doesn't promote microbial activity as Lady Bug does. I have done well with Miracle Grow so far and am not one to jump off a healthy horse, but I do respect this guy's opinion. |

marketing.. is marketing... heck.. they even convinced us the human waste is wonderful ... buy a bag.. give it a try ... no other way to find out... let us know ... but for me... marketing aside.. cost would be determinative ... if its two or three times the cost of any alternatives.. pshaw ... was this gerry baker ..??? ken |

Very interesting, Santa. I checked the site and found a source locally, or so they say, but it is an "auto detailer"???? not a nursery supply spot. I have not heard of Lady Bug before. It might be one of those Texas brands, like Blue Bell Ice Cream before it came to Alabama, a fantastic product but you had to pick it up over there. With the ice cream (Homemade Vanilla) I've hauled a lot of it home back in the day. Some things are simply that good. Can you do a test with the potting mix and let us know if no one recognize the product? |
I looked it up and there's a local place that's about 10 minutes from me that carries it. Apparently, this place has been around since 1914 and they sell hoop cheese, plants, repair lawn mowers, and sell seed by the scoop in the drawers, bulk pricing, like they used to. Sounds intriguing, never been there, might go and check them out. I'll ask them about this mix and see what they say. Maybe bkay knows something about it. I'll bet it's a pretty penny, though. |
Yep, Blue Bell is that good. Homemade vanilla is my favorite, too. Although several sources in Dallas are mentioned on their website, only one is a real nursery - Nicholson-Hardee. The rest are some other kind of business. Santa, I don't think build up of salts is a problem. When I raised house plants, it was. I had to occasionally put them in the bathtub and soak them to dissolve the salts and then pour water through to flush them. You generally don't water indoors like you do outdoors. You water just enough to get them wet and not make a mess. I always water my hosta enough to get it to run out the bottom. Then you have the rains that do a thorough job of washing the salts away. I can't say I've ever noticed a salt buildup in my hosta "dirt" when I'm repotting them. I could actually see and feel it my African Violets, though. If you buy some, let us know how it is. bk |

Lady Bug is from Texas. I posted a link below about the owner and the company. My favorite nursery here in town carries it and I plan to pick up a bag from them. Don't know the price but I see you can get it online for $11.99 for 1.5 cf so it must be within reason compared to other products. I don't guess I can do any hosta testing this time of the year since I know this isn't the proper time to do a re-pot, right? I have a few hostas that I planted this spring in Miracle Grow Moisture control before I knew that was a no-no that I plan to repot when the time is right. I will use it for those. bk…..I don't know anything really about salt buildups in plants. When we lived in Mexico I had a ton of orchids that grew in bark. I was always told to run 2-3 gallons of water through them a month to flush any salts out. I had never even considered if that was problem with dirt potted plants. You usually get a lot more rain in the DFW area that we do here in SA, so I'm not sure I can depend on that to cleanse my salt buildup. |
Here is a link that might be useful: About Lady Bug
If you think it's a problem, buy a bus tub. They have them at Sam's and at all the restaurant supply stores. It's just a shallow plastic tub used in the restaurant business. They're about 14 X 18. Set your hosta in there and let them rest for several hours, so that everything is good and wet. Then, just run water through them. I just went to measure mine and there was a fern sitting in mine soaking. They're really good for something you can't get to take up water (for me, it's hanging baskets, mostly). If you're having problems with salt buildup in your hosta, changing potting soil might not solve the problem. It's could be the water or fertilizer instead of the potting soil. Also, $11.99 for 1.5 cubic ft. of potting soil is pretty pricey. You could end up spending as much on soil as you do on hosta. Of course, being organic is not at the top of my list of requirements. I don't use many pesticides, but use chemical fertilizers. If organic is on the top part of your list, it might be worth it. Here's another random thought...If MG is using regular time release fertilizer, then it's already dumped all of it's fertilizer. Ken says that they are programmed to release all their fertilizer when it the temp hits 90 degrees. That's already happened. bk |
- Posted by santamiller 8b (My Page) on Sun, Jul 27, 14 at 7:36
bk….I've never nor am I now necessarily worried about the salt buildup. I was only mentioning the fact that this guy had talked about it as a possible issue with potted plants. I agree, I always assumed the the salt buildup came from the water, not the media, so either I missed something or he was inferring that the MG caused a larger or quicker problem with that. I'm sure that his #1 agenda was the fact that the Lady Bug is on the organic list and MG is not. I'm not hard core into organics but I try to go that route whenever I can reasonably do so. |
Santa, if my hostas were in moisture control media, I wouldn't wait until later to change them out, I'd go ahead and do that. It would be much less stressful to change pots/media than it would to sit in moisture and rot out. Just my opinion, but hot or not, they'd be making the switch at my house. It's 95 here today, so hot it gets here. Just sit them in some extra shade for a while and give a little extra water and they'll be fine. |
Miracle Grow potting soil isn't even soil! It is peat moss, compost and chemicals. I try to find Fafards, but since the main Queens plant nursery closed, it's hard. All you can find at HD and the remaining crummy Queens nursery is Miracle Grow. |

I don't plan to repot my plants that are in the MG Moisture Control until they start to go dormant. Our temps will be upper 90s to low 100s from now until mid Sept. My luck with transplanting anything under these conditions have almost always resulted in a dead plant, although I have never tried it with a hosta. I understand that I don't know what's going on with the root system, but with them healthy and growing right now I don't want to put them into shock in this intense heat. |
- Posted by moccasinlanding z9A AL (My Page) on Sun, Jul 27, 14 at 14:55
Sounds like a plan to me, Santa. You will have time to let the mix settle into the pot, no air pockets around the roots, and they should make it through the winter without any trouble. Just AS they go dormant, because our dormant period is so brief, too much watering after they get dormant would not be good for them. Since the mix will still be rather soft to do any pot tipping, think about a white plastic top over the pot to keep out winter moisture. I'm thinking of old pieces of plywood for my larger pots that I cannot tip. The danged squirrels played in some of my hosta pots which caused a lot of minis to be lost. Only a few died of crown rot, withered totally away. All they need is 40 days below 40 degrees. Whatever it takes. |
Funn, the Miracle Grow moisture control is not a problem in the summer. It's a problem in dormancy and spring. Been there, done that, lost several hosta. bk |
- Posted by santamiller 8b (My Page) on Sun, Jul 27, 14 at 18:00
mocc…..when you say "as they go dormant", do you mean just as the leaves begin to die back and just after the leaves finish drying off? We get so little rain here in the winter I'm not sure that they would ever get wet and stay wet for long during a normal fall and winter. The area where most of my hosta are is watered by drip irrigation sprayers. Over the last two years, and I only had about 10 plants at that time, they got watered once a week with the sprayers. I'll have to learn more about wintering them before we get to that time of the year. The plastic pot trays could be a possibility as a cover. Those are pretty inexpensive, especially for someone like me who doesn't have that many in my collection. |
bk mentions a bus tub … yet another alternative might be a cement mixing tub, available in several sizes at box stores like lowes in the lumber department (usually under $10) … i also use them for oil changes (yet another container option) and my daughter uses them for kitty litter toidies … the cement mixing tubs are durable and last for years. I just put a couple inches of water in the bottom and rotate the pots … great for potting up plants in the smaller pots too … can get quite a few in the tubs dave |

Just as the leaves die back. I suppose that would be the time for you. Amazing how much variation in climate there is along the Gulf Coast. Of course you are not coastal, but I should have realized with talk of drought that you would perhaps have a drier winter too. Our winters here are rainy, foggy, sometimes around 40 but not always really cold--except last year was the worst in many years. With the sun low in the sky, it is easier to avoid sunshine on my garden--even though pecan trees lose their leaves to expose a lot of the garden area--by locating pots against fences, beneath evergreen shrubs, such as that. Yes, a saucer over the top sounds perfect, and protected from any heat. You want to keep them below 40 for as long as you can, Shaded for sure. I don't have the problem of anything being totally dry, which is a factor you must consider. I've heard folks say that they put a couple of ice cubes in the pots now and again, but haven't resorted to that here. Since your hosta in pots is a manageable number, it should be easy to keep tabs on them. Perhaps BK can advise on the dry winters....not something I have to deal with. I am amused with the image I'm getting of you going out to check your pots, picking up the saucers and asking, "How are you guys doing out here. Everything okay?" |
- Posted by santamiller 8b (My Page) on Mon, Jul 28, 14 at 7:42
I'm sure my wife would be highly amused over that also. I can already picture her rolling her eyes. :) I lived in Dallas and East Texas (60 miles from Dallas) for most of my life and they generally get quite a bit more rain in the winter than we do in the more southern part of Texas. Maybe that's why I haven't had any winter looses, or maybe it's just dumb luck. Of course I also don't have many plants so my luck factor escalates from that. In fact I always watered my pots in the winter when they looked dry, just the opposite of what I should have been doing I guess. I'm still not clear on the over-wintering routine but I'll have that all figured out before we get there this year. Actually, after thinking about it, the covers on the pots during the day could hold heat in them on a sunny day. It can be easily be 80 here on Christmas day, then it could be 28 the next day, then 2 days later 75. If I need to keep excessive moisture out it might be better to only cover them when I think it's going to rain. Just thinking out loud. |

Altera Opens The World Of FPGAs To Software Programmers With Broad Availability Of SDK And Off-the-Shelf Boards For OpenCL
SAN JOSE, Calif., May 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Altera Corporation (NASDAQ: ALTR) today announced the broad availability of its SDK for OpenCL and supported third-party production boards. Availability of the SDK for OpenCL enables software programmers to access the high-performance capabilities of programmable logic devices. Also part of today's news, Altera announced a Preferred Board Partner Program, allowing third-party board vendors to work closely with Altera to design optimized production boards based on Altera's programmable devices. The availability of supported third-party boards through the Preferred Board Partner Program and an SDK for OpenCL enables software programmers to easily target high-performance FPGAs using a high-level language.
Altera's SDK for OpenCL allows software programmers to take their OpenCL code and easily exploit the massively parallel architecture of an FPGA. Software programmers targeting FPGAs achieve higher performance at significantly lower power compared to alternative hardware architectures.
"Because FPGAs enable parallel processing, they are critical for specialized server workloads that demand real-time performance. We are pleased that our clients are now able to take full advantage of this technology on Power Systems using Altera's SDK for OpenCL," said Robert L. Swann, vice president, IBM Power Systems. "With this standards-based approach, our clients can leverage a vibrant ecosystem of commercial and research contributions to accelerate emerging compute intensive workloads."
The SDK for OpenCL is designed to increase system performance in highly data-parallel computing applications featured in financial, military, broadcast, medical and a variety of other markets. Altera's OpenCL solutions are supported by a robust ecosystem consisting of board partners, design partners, software tools and university collaboration. Altera and its partners provide the tools, hardware, libraries, reference designs and design resources necessary for developers to implement their OpenCL designs into FPGAs and reduce time-to-market.
The Altera Preferred Board Partner Program for OpenCL ensures third-party production boards are optimized for current Altera device architectures. Initial preferred board partners included in the program are BittWare, Nallatech and PLDA, with additional board partners to be added in the future.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Baby T!
Facts about Baby T
- Breed: Rat Terrier Mix
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Baby T's Info...
I am already spayed, a special needs pet, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, not good with kids, and not good with cats.
I was kept in a back yard at an apartment complex. When the place was foreclosed, my people had to move and go to a place where they could not keep me. I have had conservative treatment for heartworms and hope to test negative early next year. I am very friendly toward those I trust and love, and I enjoy neck rubs. I get nervous around children, and I don't care for most men. I will probably do best as an only dog, with one or possibly two female adults. I can be quite protective. If you need a good guard dog, I'm your ideal security system! Just please don't forget the neck rubs!
Other Pets at Wharton County SPOT
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Baby T, a Wharton Rat Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Rat Terrier for sale in Wharton, or seeking a Rat Terrier dog from a breeder in Wharton.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Wharton 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 Wharton 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 Rat Terrier breeders who help with Rat Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Wharton paves the way for another one to be saved.

I am in Zone 7 - and have a shady wooded area on the side of the house. I have some large tress and some large Rhododendron shrubs that do well. I have a bunch of hostas that also does well, however it is constantly attacked by deer. I want to pull the hostas and replace it with a shade garden that will survive the deer. I want to have layers of ferns and also some other plants that will provide color and texture The area is not on a sprinkler system so it only gets rain water. I am happy to start it off by watering regularly, but I eventually want it to be low maintenance. The soil is well drained. Any advice for some interesting plants that do well in this environment? Also some advice for ground cover, something that will take off quickly as I have a large area to fill. Thanks |

How large an area? there are quite a few things that, once established, do not need a lot of water. Christmas ferns, epimedium, pachysandra, hellebores, mondo grass, arisaemas, arum italicum, skimmia, sarcoccoca, brunnera, corydalis, disporum, euphorbia robbiae (aggressive and spreading and deer resistant)!

Hey everyone, I hope you've been having a wonderful summer.
Since the release of
American Rhymin
in March of this year, I have been diligently assembling a group of crack musicians to give life to a new set of songs for my second record. I'm excited to tell you that this
Saturday, September 14th
, we will be making our first live appearance at
Woodland's Tavern
Erica Blinn & the Handome Machine's Single Release Party
We have
ten new songs
raring and ready to go. I will be joined on stage by Jamie Molisee (Boondogglers), Bryan Kossman (Little Professors), and Matt Paetsch (take your pick), all of whom are outstanding musicians and great performers.
We will be taking the stage around 9:30 after our good friends,
The Devil Doves.
After us,
Erica Blinn & the Handsome Machine
will be rocking out the rest of the night.
I hope you can make it out on Saturday night. I'm very excited to showcase these new songs with a new sound. I've even ditched the acoustic to play a strawberry red vintage Telecaster, so you know I mean business.
Most sincerely,

Across the street from the Davelopment Academy of the Philippines and just beside the Tierra de Maria in Tagaytay is a Filipino-Japanese Friendship Garden open to the public. While the garden is far from what a true Japanese garden is and its being Filipino was similarly a cause for doubt and deep reflection, the small price to pay to enter it was a consolation. With nothing much to see and explore in that 1200 sq. meters of space, I wasted no time lomographing textures around and doubling my shots with self-portraits against a not-so-blue sky.
This photo was shot on film. Taken by lakandula with a Lomo LC-A+ RL (available in our Online Shop) loaded with Fuji Superia 400 (35mm) film in Tagaytay City, Philippines.

1. Consulting - An email help-desk (see below) is staffed for users to submit questions, request meetings to discuss specific analysis strategies, and solicit advice on experiment design and novel research studies.
2. Data processing and analysis - Expertise is provided in the areas of microarray, high-throughput DNA sequencing, genomics, & proteomics data, and for combining data with public bioinformatics resources, including expertise specific to viral sequence analysis (described below).
3. Training - Classes and hands-on computing labs are offered periodically to introduce genomics and proteomics techniques and analysis tools to CFAR staff allowing them to work independently.
4. Technology Development and Acquisition -- As new technologies of likely general use are identified this resource works with other center investigators or shared resources to acquire and deploy those computational techniques. CFAR Investigators with a need to access new computational technologies can request developments through the resource; priority is given to those technologies that will be used by multiple CFAR members, and approval is provided by the scientific steering committee.
5. Development, maintenance, support and access to software: A key aspect of the Core is to provide access to computational tools (some web-based, others standalone) required to interpret sequence data, including phylogenic analysis, classification/clustering, processing RNA- or DNA- sequence data. A current list of software algorithms can be found here: http://indra.mullins.microbiol.washington.edu/ and also here http://matsen.fhcrc.org/software.html.

The invention of the laser (Laser is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) can be dated to 1958 with the publication of the scientific paper, Infrared and Optical Masers, by Arthur L. Schawlow, then a Bell Labs researcher, and Charles H. Townes, a consultant to Bell Labs. That paper, published in Physical Review, the journal of the American Physical Society, launched a new scientific field and opened the door to a multibillion-dollar industry.
The work of Schawlow and Townes, however, can be traced back to the 1940s and early 50s and their interest in the field of microwave spectroscopy, which had emerged as a powerful tool for revealing the characteristics of a wide variety of molecules. Neither man was planning to invent a device that would revolutionize a number of industries, from communications to medicine. They had something more straightforward in mind, developing a device to help them study molecular structures.
The beginnings at Bell Labs
Townes, armed with a Ph.D. degree in physics from the California Institute of Technology, joined Bell Labs in 1939, where he worked on a variety of problems, including microwave generation, vacuum tubes, and magnetics. He then moved on to solid-state physics, studying electron emissions from surfaces.
One day, about a year after Townes arrived at Bell Labs, Mervin Kelley, then director of Townes' laboratory, informed the group, "On Monday, I want you to start a radar bombing system." Townes wasn't enthusiastic about the assignment, but realized that World War II had invaded the quiet hallways of Bell Labs. "We worked at it pretty hard, and after about a year we had a system which we put in an airplane, and actually used. It worked."*
Focusing on molecular absorption
During the war, Townes was becoming more interested in radio astronomy, (see sidebar) but his defense work on radar led him to focus on microwave spectroscopy. Radar systems broadcast radio signals at specific wavelengths. When these signals strike solid objects, such as a battleship or an airplane, the signals that reflect back to the radar system can be correlated to identify the object and its position.
The radar navigation bombing systems Townes was working on used wavelengths of 10 centimeters (cm) and then 3 cm, but the military wanted to go to 1¼ cm to get better directivity and to use smaller antennae on their planes.
Concerned about moisture
Townes was concerned about going to wavelengths of 1¼ cm. He knew, from the research of others, that gas molecules can absorb wave forms at certain wavelengths, and he feared that the water vapor in the atmosphere -- fog, rain, clouds -- might absorb the 1¼ cm radar signals.
"Well, the radar was built, it was tried out, and it didn't work; there was water vapor absorption," he said. The system could "see" for just a few miles at best, "...much, much too limited then for searching over the ocean for ships or anything like that."
Decides to move to Columbia
After the war, Townes focused his work at Bell Labs on molecular spectroscopy and in 1948 had the opportunity to move to Columbia University. "Now, I left to go to Columbia partly because Columbia was more interested in the physics and the principles which I was interested in. And furthermore I liked university life much better anyhow -- I really always wanted to be in a university."
The discipline of microwave spectroscopy was the common ground on which Schawlow and Townes first met in 1949, when Schawlow, having just received his Ph.D. in physics at the University of Toronto, went to Columbia University on a fellowship and began working with Townes.
Mulling over molecules
While at Columbia, Townes continued to mull over the possibility of using stimulated emissions to probe gasses for molecular spectroscopy, a challenge which first led to the invention of the maser, and later the laser.
Townes knew that as the wavelength of microwave radiation grew shorter, its interactions with molecules became stronger, making it a more powerful spectroscopic tool. Building a device small enough to generate the required wavelength, however, was beyond fabrication techniques of the day. Townes got around that limitation with the idea of using molecules to generate the desired frequencies.
The idea at Franklin Park
There were several technical questions that had to be worked out, including getting around the Second Law of Thermodynamics, which, in effect, told Townes molecules couldn't generate more than a certain amount of energy.
The idea how to get around this law came to him while he was attending a scientific committee meeting on milliwave emissions in Washington, D.C. Townes took an early morning walk one day in Franklin Park, and mulled over his problem.
"But I thought, now wait a minute! The second Law of Thermodynamics assumes thermal equilibrium. We don't have to have that!"
Back-of-the-envelope calculations
He pulled an envelope out of his jacket and started to jot down a calculation on how many molecules he needed in a resonator to get the power output he wanted. Then he went back to his hotel and told his idea to Schawlow, who also was in Washington for a conference. "I talked to him about it and Art immediately saw the point and said, 'That's interesting.'"
When Townes returned to Columbia, he asked his graduate student -- James P. Gordon -- if he wanted to work on the project, telling him, "I think it is going to work, but I can't be sure." He later hired H. L. Zeiger to assist. Schawlow didn't work on the maser, but said, "...I had witnessed the disclosure in his notebook."
That same year, Schawlow left Townes and Columbia to accept a job as a researcher at Bell Labs. "My research at Bell Labs was on superconductivity," he said, "and I did not participate at all in the exciting developments on masers during the next few years."
Working on the maser 'peacefully'
Townes decided to work with ammonia, which was a very strong absorber and interacts strongly with wavelengths. "It was an old favorite of mine and I knew a lot about it, we had cavities at that wavelength (1¼ cm) and we had all the techniques and we had the wave guides."
While he worked on the maser, not too many others showed much interest in his idea, he once said, so "...we could work along peacefully on it in a graduate student kind of style for three years, and we finally made it work and nobody else was trying to do it that I knew of."
In 1953, he, Gordon, and Zeiger demonstrated a working device, which Townes called the maser, which stands for microwave amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. They patented the device through Columbia University.
Collaborating at Bell Labs
Townes realized that the shorter wavelengths beyond those of microwaves -- the wavelengths of infrared and optical light -- probably offered even more powerful tools for spectroscopy than that produced by the maser.
While still at Columbia, Townes in 1956 was offered a consulting job with Bell Labs, where he would visit the Labs, talk to people, look at projects, and exchange ideas. "Well, that was a nice kind of consulting job, so I accepted it."
Townes, still thinking about stimulating the emission of light, stopped in to see Schawlow, now his brother-in-law (see sidebar) who had been at the Labs for about five years. The two scientists had collaborated in the past and in 1955 co-authored the book Microwave Spectroscopy. Schawlow later described the collaboration. "...I was beginning to think seriously about the possibility of extending the maser principle from the microwave region to shorter wavelengths, such as the infrared region of the spectrum. It turned out that he was also thinking about this problem, so we decided to look at the problem together."
Putting mirrors in the cavity
Schawlow's idea was to arrange a set of mirrors, one at each end of the cavity, to bounce the light back and forth, which would eliminate amplifying any beams bouncing in other directions.
Schawlow and Townes discussed this possibility and both were enthusiastic about it. In the fall of 1957, they began working out the principles of a device that could provide these shorter wavelengths.
By using mirrors, Schawlow thought that their dimensions could be adjusted so that the laser would have only one frequency, that a particular frequency would be chosen within a line width, and that the mirror size could be adjusted so that even slight off-angle motion could be dampened. In effect, he was eliminating most of the cavity and keeping only the two ends.
"Without interrupting our other duties, over the next few months we worked on this in odd moments", Schawlow said. While Schawlow was working on the device, Townes worked on the theory. Schawlow also suggested using certain solid-state materials for solid-state lasers.
U.S. Patent #2,929,922
After eight months of work, the collaboration was fruitful. In 1958, the two men wrote a paper on their work, although they had not yet made an actual laser, and they applied for a patent through Bell Labs. Their proposal that the principles of the maser could be extended to the optical regions of the spectrum was published in the December issue of Physical Review.
Two years later, Schawlow and Townes received a patent for the invention of the laser, the same year a working laser was built by Theodore Maiman at Hughes Aircraft Company.
In 1961, Schawlow left Bell Labs to take a teaching and research job at Stanford, where he developed the laser's use in spectroscopy. "Stanford made an offer I couldn't refuse," he explained.
Winning the Nobel Prize
In 1964, Townes shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with A. Prokhorov and N. Basov of the Lebedev Institute in Moscow for "fundamental work in the field of quantum electronics which has led to the construction of oscillators and amplifiers based on the maser-laser principle."
In 1981, Schawlow also shared the Nobel Prize in Physics for his "contribution to the development of laser spectroscopy." "It's long overdue," Townes said of his colleague's honor at the time.
Schawlow recalled then of the invention, "We thought it might have some communications and scientific uses, but we had no application in mind. If we had, it might have hampered us and not worked out as well."

I have been lusting after all the vintage seed boxes that I've been seeing around the internet.
Lusting after one doesn't make me want to spend upwards of $100 for one though.
You know me, I'm cheap with a capital C. (I guess I could have just spelled it with a capital C then).
So I decided to try my hand at making one myself.
Authentically vintage? Not really.
In my price range? Absolutely.
- Paper mache box
- Water-based stain
- Seed packets
- Mod Podge
- Super cute doodads to accessorize your seed box
Now, you could use an old wooden box for this, but for some reason around here old wooden boxes cost an arm and a leg. Possibly a spare kidney too.
So I decided to use a paper mache one I found at Jo-Ann Fabrics instead.
It was part of a set of nesting boxes with attached lids and the whole set of 3 was around $9. But, or course, I used a 40% off coupon.
No need to pay full price at Jo-Ann's. Ever.
I found these colorful seed packets at Wally World (Walmart to the rest of you).
I loved them, first of all, because the graphics and design have a vintage look.
And second of all, they were 20 cents each.
So not only were they inexpensive, but the 20 cent price printed on the packet made them appear that they were from a long time ago. A time when seeds actually cost 20 cents a packet.
I started out by staining my box with Minwax's Express Color in Pecan, which is a water-based stain.
Notice the clearance sticker and price. They only had this one tube with that price tag on it, so Mrs. Cheapo grabbed that tube.
Now, I'm not a chemist here or anything.
But staining a paper box with regular oil-based stain seemed to be courting a fire or spontaneous combustion or something, so when I saw this water-based stain I thought it was the way to go.
I applied the stain with a foam paintbrush, just painting it on in long strokes, to mimic wood. You can use a rag to apply it, but you won't get the same faux graining as a brush.
I did not do the normal wood staining procedures where you would apply a stain, leave it set for a few moments and then wipe off the excess. With this project I only painted it on and then let it dry.
It does look rather wood-like, I might add.
Then I cut the front covers off the seed seed packets that I wanted to Mod Podge onto the lid.
And put the seeds and the back covers into plastic bags, so that I could still use the seeds later.
I also thought this would come in handy when the DEA finds a bunch of baggies in my cupboard :)
I applied the Mod Podge to the back of the packets and "glued" them into place.
For the writing on the front of the box, I just printed out some wording on my computer, rubbed chalk onto the back of the paper, traced over the letters to get the chalk outline onto the box and then went over the chalk with a black Sharpie.
Originally, I had planned to distress my seed packets with those fancy inks from Tim Holtz.
Totally off topic, but did you know that Howard Stern (the radio personality, not the one who was married to Anna Nicole Smith) is a fan of Tim Holtz's inks. Small world.
Anywho, I tested a brown distressing ink out on a sample seed packet and because the packets have a sort of blue color to them, the distressing was coming out a distressingly strange color.
Not Mr. Holtz's fault, just couldn't get the look right, so I just skipped the distressing.
So, totally different look than I originally envisioned, but you know what? I'm sort of liking the bright colors!
We've had a long, hard winter and by golly, I'm going to let my bright and sunny freak flag fly!
Almost forgot, the bunny wanted me to show you that he has a problem.
He has hole in his back.
May have been a knife accident.
May be that he is a bank.
Could go either way.
I bought him from Polly's shop, Georgie Emerson Vintage, and she says he's old new stock. Or maybe it was new old stock?
Anyhow it's vintage merchandise that was never sold before. Probably from an old store that went out of business.
If you have one I'd love to see it. I promise I won't be jealous when you tell me you found it an an estate sale for 50 cents.
Edited to add: You know how you occasionally get an idea and think you're all so creative and original and all that? Well, before I hit the old Publish button on this one, I Googled "DIY vintage seed boxes" and it appears that the amazing Debra at Common Ground also made one of these last year. You can see her tutorial HERE. Just didn't want you to think that I was a crafting guru or something :)

We've heard your feedback and are continuing to build a better Slickdeals. Click here to check out the updated site.
Should we be teaching the competition?
Discuss Pros and ConsHere is an informative interesting video to help kick start the discussion.
Seems to me that we should be devoting our resources to training our people, Americans and doing it better than our lousy public school system is (via School Choice, Semi Privatization, Autonomy of Schools and their Administrations, and .Vouchers Funded Statewide that Follow the Child.) There is some benefit to influencing other nations and peoples via training their best and brightest. That cultural influence helps to move other cultures and societies into more enlightened Western values and principles, etc. What say you? Should we be training Chinese students? Or would filling those seats with Americans be better use of our resources? |
This is a debate my science department has been having as of late. The thing is, it's not like universities are banning American students. A main reason why there are more foreign and fewer American students accepted to higher level learning is because they reflect the application rates.
Economically, an argument can be made that this hurts the US. However, I am not entirely sure, especially in todays global economy. By inviting foreigners to our shores for a good length of time -- most graduate degrees are 3-5+ years of study -- we're not only giving them education but exposure to our culture, values, etc which are then exported. As you stated. I slickdeals:

There is also the issue of motivation and preparedness of American Students. That is why we should be concerned about the quality of education at lower levels. There are also cultural elements (and sub cultures) which affect American student ahievement. |
In my 1st master's program (chemical engineering), I was one of TWO Americans out of perhaps 60 grad students. for my Ph.D. it was more like 50/50 American/Foreign (although most of the foreigners were European, and less were Chinese,and no Indians).
I can recall having a discussion with a professor in my 1st master's and he said that it's gotten to the point where they were starting to give more consideration to Americans.....simply because not many apply. |
I think that there is some room for nuance here as well.
Chinese vs African foreign students, as a juxtaposition for the purposes of exploring the idea. China doesnt need our assistance and has been raping our manufacturing sector, via currency manipulation. Our interests via Africa are different, than with regards to China. I found it interesting that students used to stay, but now they dont. When they stayed, that helped us more often than not. Now that they dont, then perhaps our position should change. Obama stated that we should give easy expedited citizenship to these foreign students to coax them to stay...perhaps instead we should put Americans in those seats. There is also the issue of Universities as a Business. But then again, they are mostly heavily subsidized by the US taxpayer. One more thought. American students and universities do also benifit from having the best and the brightest from around the world participate. |
Why would the competition come to learn in America if polls keep saying that the U.S has one of the worst education systems in the world? I would go to learn at the countrys that rated in the top of the polls instead of the U.S if I had the money to support traveling abroad :p

Science is much more than a body of knowledge. It is a way of thinking. This is central to its success. Science invites us to let the facts in, even when they don't conform to our preconceptions.

I don't pretend to know how admissions processes go for masters and doctoral programs. More or less I was told that if I wanted to do it, they'd make sure I got in though my grades and cv were always fine. Personally, I'd rather train Americans than foreignors. |

Been making wreaths for sale. These are my latest.
12"- $18
10" $15
14" $ 20
Hope you like them, Any special requests.
Made this wreath
it hangs on my front door. I made the wreath part from a pool noodle. EASY PEASY!!!
I had seen using them on Pinterest so I thought I would try. I didn't read it so I duct tape it. Well it started to come apart, so I used duct tape onto of floral pins and that seems to be ok. Nice summer look. Keep an eye out for fall and winter wreaths. NEED MORE NOODLES> lol
Next I crocheted…
The purple hat was a verigated hat I got the yarn from a friend. Don't look you wont find it. It was Sayelle from Kmart. LOL
Ok well- busy day tomorrow so Ill see you soon.
The other same hat different colors. Then I added a lace flower on it. I will be posting the pattern but I need 2 testers. Anyone interested? Would need you to be done by Monday.
I'm uber busy, and slacking a bit. But come on its summer and I'm off so…
Finally finished the blanket for the coach and his wife, it's a wave blanket the first one I have made. Now I made it smaller because if I'm holding a baby I don't want a ton of blanket too.
My youngest loves to wear bows and flowers in her hair, she is away at camp so I have a surprise for her when she returns. Think she will like them?
I added stickles to the centers.
This first card is made with TAC flowers and Sweet n Sassy Words. She has a whole set of Happy Birthday, LOVE THEM!!!
This second on I think I like the center white one and when I make a HB one like this I'm going to make them pointed. I do like this and will be making a hb one today so watch for it ok. Please share that I'm posting again to any of your friends who like this.
This is a bookmarker made from Gina K Designs. Added stickles and glaze (on the bubbles)
Well please visit me again!!! Hugs.
Made with a sticker for my husbands cousins son. The body is on a spring so it boings around, Thank you $ store
Loved these every time I see them. Thought Id give it a try. Worked.
This was fun and pretty easy.
Well check back soon!
I have been working on many things again plus working on family things. Kids are old enough that you would think they would need me less, but… I like it too- don't tell.
Don't like the stamp. Bought it at Joanns but not a fan of how it printed. So now its in the sale box. However I did like the beading. LOL
Made for one of the many baby gifts I need to have done soon. Two stamps both from Joanns.
This one was fun. I got the idea from Pinterest. I used what stamps I have, bees and flowers then used a square stamper to make the edges of the hb sign. Stamps are flowers and small bees are TAC. The bigger bees are Hero Art and the HB is from Sweet N Sassy.
Saw something similar ad tried this the main candle is embossed the I used white pigment to make it pop. the others are SU and I glazed the flame.
Hope you like these. Be back with more…
We have had a lot of funerals recently, close ones at that. I had to purchase some cards because of lack of managing my time, lack of time, and mojo vaca. Well I have been working really hard on things to get ready and be in gear for Full time Olivia again and a bit busier schedule for my youngest too. Gosh I cant believe my baby is a Senior. I really hope she takes advantage of it all.
With the time I have I have been busy. Making cards, crocheting, sewing… Sleep is over rated. We also got a puppy, why? BECAUSE I LOVE INSANITY!!! Ill have to look and see if I posted about Daisy before. Working on a Dinner menu for the next 6 months so any ideas would be cool.
Here is one card.
This could be used as a Birthday, How You Doing, or Missing you kind of card. I was motivated by this post on Pinterest. Wow after looking up the link, I feel horrible, it is almost an exact. I apologize, I never do that. I must have been in love with that card. I did write and apologize to her.
Now, When I have lots of multiple cards to make, I will make some similar to each other. I honestly would say that 95% of my cards are all original and have no twin. But there are sometimes…
All of the next 3 cards were made using Gina K "Eclectic Summer" I liked the Seahorse. Saw birthday cards or something again pinterest.and made these.
The brown one is sprayed with Walnut ink and shimmer in copper. Inked with Amuse and brown card stock. Blue is blue and black colored plus I used stickles on it. The red one was my fav. Its spray inked too like the walnut ink, and the copper shimmer. I used gold card stock and burgundy cardstock also.
This card was sponged inks both red and brown Using Fiskars stamp I believe the words are Gingers house. I added with and cut off the rest…
Even though they are Sympathy cards I really hope you like them. Hum. Check me out maybe tomorrow if not definitely on Thurs to see more work of some kind from me.
My Son graduated High School in June. We had a grad party for him. His girlfriends step mom made a cap box. It was cute but I needed something different. So I made a box using his Senior Jersey. I used crumpled newspaper and tape to look like the pads and then attached the grad cap to the shoulder. My son loved it so much, he kept the thing whole. ha ha ha
I know bad pic, but… Maybe I can get a new one and repost it. Sorry. Come back tomorrow for some cards.
WOW- So sorry, any moment free I have been posting on Facebook. I have 3 pages there. One personal, One for this blog and one to promote the positive of my city.
I was busy with end of School things, no more babysitting, and now a puppy. After Dylans High School grad this sun. I will be crafting of all kinds so lots of pics WILL be coming.
Here are a few garters I made for Prom this year
Here is our newest addition to our Family- Daisy
My Sons Pic with his girlfirend
Prom fr my daughter- not sure if I posted this.
Well this is why I have been busy. I also made a baby blanket and working on another. Ill show you as soon ads they are done. Watch for more pics.
Making garters again, here is one I made in Oct but I didn't post it too much going on. So here it is along with others.
homecoming 2013
This year is busy and rocky. Many down things and then Rays of "Son"( meaning something to remind us its gonna be ok.) My husbands father passed away in Feb to cancer, now his mom who is only 54 has been given 6 months.Then a bunch of lesser things that just make you go- "Really?" Well some small things to let you know tomorrow will come- good or bad- it WILL come. That means another chance. Need School to end so life slows a bit. But then my Son starts college in fall so not looking forward to that. Ok- enough babble from me. My heart, prayers and big hugs to all effected in the recent storms and flooding. This whole world needs one big hug and a even bigger Prayer.
This card is made with a TAC stamp or 2. It is a get well card for a friend of our family,
he has cancer.
This card is my 2014 mothers day cards (sssshhh don't tell) dropped in the mail today. If you don't get one- sorry.
This is a baby blanket and its made with denim colored yarn , cream yarn and then the red ribbon. Made me think of a bandana. My daughters Church youth Pastor and the girls youth leader both are having babies so I'm busy.
Well I wish you all peace, happiness and a cute puppy or kitty to love. Hugs!!
He is Risen!! ~ our Gods not dead, he is alive.
Wishing you all the happiest Easter. I know I'm early but I;m VERY late on posting. Life is getting to much and I really do most of my posting in Facebook, you can follow me there at Tomorrows Treasure.
Well here is the latest thing I made. This summer I should have a lot of things to post all thru the rest of the year. Aside from watching my rgand daughter, My so is graduating HS and my youngest is going to be a senior so college and such. And SERIOUSLY the baby wears me out. LOL Love hanging with her but man some days.
