First quilt!
Hello All, I will be taking my quilt to my teacher tomorrow night and would love some opinions and thoughts on it. With a lot of Oops and hiccups I finished it.I think. Why I undertook a big quilt I'll never know but it was fun and will try it again but on a much smaller scale. I have never sewn a thing in my life not even a hem.... I used duct tape it was easier.Haha. I'm going to use the flowered pattern on the binding ( the one the Euro pillows are done in) and the lighter Blue that's in the stripes for the backing. I applicated the flowers on the bottom and was wandering if I need to put some kind of stitch around them or what? I'm glad I found this site because I love looking at all the quilts ya'll do and know I will get lots of ideas. I've always considered this a garden site which I've been looking at for years and have learned lots of things about gardening so I know I will learn about quilting now.
Very beautifully done! I like the colors and the flowers do add a nice touch. The pillow are great too!
Welcome to your new addiction ;-) Hope you have plenty of room for fabric storage. It's great to keep you busy out of the planting season.
Welcome to the best quilt addiction site. What a lovely modern quilt. I love the colors. If you straight stitch around the flowers just inside the edge they will fray a bit when washed and give a soft edge to them. Or you can zigzag around and cover the edge. If the quilt will be washed a lot I would certainly sew them in some fashion.
Your quilt is beautiful. I like the colors and the geometric design.
Great job.
Nice job on your first ever sewing project! I'm impressed.
Beverly is right, you should stitch around your appliqued flowers. If you zigzag around the flowers, make sure you have a lot of the flower fabric under your stitch. In other words, don't just catch a little bit of the fabric, rather make sure most of the zigzag stitches into the flowers. Here is a link to my troubles with zigzaging - hopefully this will help you avoid my mistakes!
Here is a link that might be useful: Trouble with applique
tThank you all for the compliments and Lola I read the Trouble with Applique and that was one of the things that bothered me that the flowers would come loose or fall apart. I did use a fuseable but have never done a zigzag stitch I will have to practice and get my teacher to show me the how to's.
Lindab, addiction is a good word for it cause I'm hooked. My daughter-in-law talked me into a sewing class when they came home for a visit and the next thing I knew I had ordered a sewing machine and signed up for a quilting class and turned my guest room into a sewing room. What I actually need is someone to teach me how to use my machine and what all the pieces are for. I fiqure if I keep on trying all the things the manual says and listen to what ya'll tell me and go to my class I should have it all down in a hundred years or so. Thank you all and I'll let you know how it goes.
Welcome to the quilt addiction...I hope you find it as fun as the rest of us! I like your modern quilt and I'm impressed this is the first item you have ever sewed...WOW!
You mentioned you are trying to learn your machine...not sure what machine you have, but a google search with your machine brand and your area should turn up a dealer. Dealers normally have classes so you can learn about all the fun stuff you can do with your machine.
Also...let me invite you to consider the quilt block lotto...it's a great way to learn new blocks. First, it's optional to participate each month, so no pressure there. Every month Toolgranny will post a block design, provide the colors for block, you make 1, 2 or more, up to you; the blocks get mailed to me (littlehelen) by month end; at month end a random winner is pulled and the winner is the lucky receipent of all of the blocks submitted. I mail these off to the winner-almost an instant quilt. You can win 6, 12 blocks or 30 blocks...never know as it depends on the participation for that month ...but it's fun and I've found it to be a good method to practice techniques for new blocks.
Do a search on this site for Lotto and you can read about the process, see pics of what has been sent in etc.
sorry...did mean to do a sales pitch...but it is enjoyable!
Congratulations on your first quilt...here's to many more!
A block lotto sounds fun! Pleases keep in mind I've never done these except one in my first quilting class. are the instructions mailed out with i t? Sounds like it would be a good way to learn. I can start in the May lotto probably to late for this month especially since my machine is doing something crazy.I was learning how to applique in class Thursday and was almost thru with the second flower when the thread would not come out . Ipulled it out rethreaded it and even changed out the needle but nothing. It will sew a straight stich but none of the zigzags, Oh well I'll fix it sooner or later. Let me know what I need to do to get started. This is gonna be fun!! Thank you for telling me
Welcome! I'd like to congratulate you on your quilt as it's quite lovely. Turned out far better than my first quilt, btw. It's very tasteful and looks oriental, actually. If this is your first machine, it sounds like you are starting your sewing avocation without previous biases and that may be a good thing. You won't have to unlearn some bad habits.
I am on quilt twenty five now in seven years. It was on my bucket list to make ONE quilt I'd carried the pattern around for decades. I had no instructions, nor teachers (actually I had no clue) and picked out one of the most difficult patterns you could do full of Y-seams. I found this site about the time I finished that and was hooked. The ladies (and a few brave men) here have been such an inspiration and generous with their knowledge.
Phyllis...just watch for the lotto postings. Toolgranny will post the May Lotto on or about May 1...all the details are noted in the posting, you only need make a block or two following the instructions, mail it to me and wait to find out if you are the winner! It's really that simple. We do ask you to enclose a dollar in your mailing, just to cover postage to the winner, but that's all there is to it. Great group, we'd love to have more join in.
If you have more questions, just send me an email from my page. I'll respond asap.

Busch Stadium, St. Louis, Missouri
W: J. Sanchez (1-1)
L: B. Looper (3-1)
ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Now that Barry Bonds is long gone, San Francisco has a lineup that hardly scares anyone. Except maybe the St. Louis Cardinals' pitching staff, which has surrendered the Giants' three biggest offensive days.
Bengie Molina hit three doubles and drove in three runs and the Giants reached season highs for runs, hits and winning margin in an 8-2 victory on Sunday.San Francisco won the season series 4-3, with all seven games played in a span of 11 days.The first two games this weekend were more in character for the Giants, who totaled four runs but won 3-0 behind Tim Lincecum on Saturday. In the finale, the only suspense was whether Jonathan Sanchez would qualify for his first victory as a starter since Sept. 6, 2006, at Cincinnati."We came out swinging," manager Bruce Bochy said. "We came in here playing a hot team and Bengie got the big hit to drive in a couple that seemed to get things contagious."John Bowker hit his third career home run, all against the Cardinals, and Aaron Rowand drove in two runs as the Giants took two of three and handed St. Louis its first series loss of the season. Molina, a somewhat sheepish cleanup hitter, has 11 RBIs in 11 games and a team-leading 13 overall."I'm not a fourth hitter at all, I don't hit home runs," Molina said. "Seriously, I'm the kind of guy who is happy with the win. Getting the RBIs was huge."Sanchez (1-1) pitched two-hit ball for five innings, but needed 101 pitches. The Cardinals did not score until getting two runs in the ninth off Vinnie Chulk.Braden Looper (3-1) endured one of his worst outings since moving to the rotation last year, allowing seven runs on 10 hits in three-plus innings. He missed a chance to become the Cardinals' first starter to start the year 4-0 since Matt Morris in 2002.Looper entered with a run of six consecutive April victories dating to last season, and didn't allow a run in the first three innings of his first three starts. The Giants remain the only NL team he hasn't beaten."I didn't get my job done, basically," Looper said. "I don't know what else to say. I basically stunk."The Giants had 14 hits and batted around in a six-run third against Looper, who was 7-1 with a major league-best 1.82 ERA in day games last year. All of the damage was done with six consecutive hits to open the inning, including RBI doubles by Ray Durham and Molina and Bowker's two-run shot.The Giants swung at 14 pitches in the inning, and missed only once."I think that six-run inning took a little starch out of us," Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said. "Their left-hander used a lot of pitches and was kind of erratic and I think we could have stayed close, but it's tough to fall that far behind."Sanchez, who struck out five and walked four, was in danger of getting yanked with none out in the fifth after walking reliever Anthony Reyes, before Cesar Izturis' double-play ball on a full count."Yeah, I knew," Sanchez said. "It was 3-2 and I threw a strike so he had to swing. I get strikeouts and I walk batters, so it's hard for me to go nine innings."A second double-play ball with two on and none out in the fourth by Troy Glaus helped Sanchez work around a hit and two walks.Relievers Keiichi Yabu and Merkin Valdez each pitched two hitless innings. The Cardinals got four hits in the ninth, including RBI doubles by Glaus and Rico Washington, and haven't been shut out in consecutive games at home since 1999.In two of Sanchez' first three starts, the Giants scored no runs while he was in the game.Game notes
The Cardinals are holding off activating RHP Russ Springer (elbow) DL on Monday, wanting to see how he bounces back from another simulated effort on Monday. Springer, who was shut down for a week due to a nerve problem, threw to hitters for the first time on Saturday. ... Looper is 0-3 with a 5.65 ERA and two saves in 31 career appearances, including two starts, against the Giants. ... Bowker is 5-for-15 with three homers and nine RBIs against St. Louis. ... The Giants have won three of their last five day games after an 0-6 start. ... Emmanuel Burriss, whose contract was purchased from Triple-A Fresno prior to the game, made his major league debut in the ninth at SS for the Giants. His parents were there to witness it, flying in from Washington, D.C. ... Cardinals LHP Ron Villone had five strikeouts in three relief innings, two off his career high in 1999.

Sea-Comm Media has pulled the plug on a controversial rally scheduled to take place at Riverfest.
Sea-Comm President and General Manager Paul Knight said the company will no longer sponsor the "I Love America" rally at next month's festival.
The rally was going to be hosted by conservative radio show host Curtis Wright, which sparked some protest from community members.
Knight said he did not want Riverfest directors to endure what he called "ridiculous action by a small group of unhappy people."

I do see the parallel, however can't parents read the package insert if they ask to see it? I know most don't know to ask, but if they asked for it, I would think the doctor would provide it no?
Not always. First of all, the doctor doesn't administer the vaccines; the nurse does. I had to make a huge fuss before the nurse got the package insert. This was in 2004, and she kept insisting that all pediatric vaccines were thimerosal-free, and she absolutely did not believe me when I told her that ALL multi-use vaccine vials are preserved with thimerosal.
Second of all, since even the "informed consent" is a ridiculous joke (every sheet I've been given ONLY mentions the risks of redness, swelling, fever, and fussiness, NOTHING ELSE), that's a pretty good indication that there is an awful lot that's already gone wrong in terms of transparency.
is this in the UK?
Yeah it depends - my office does have sheets that acknowledge anything from redness to death from the given vaccine. The local military base only hands out belittling sheets stating redness, fever and give Tylenol and nothing bad ever, ever happens. THey don't even disclose which brand they use and refuse to do so (I know, I asked, I was yelled at for asking such a question, as a parent I have no business to ask this and better do what they say - obviously I never came back).
Prosciencemum, I haven't signed a consent form in a few years, but the ones I signed were actually SEPARATE from the the sheet listing risks. The consent form said that I consented to vaccination, and that I had been informed of the risks. The other form, on green paper, was the one that listed fever, redness, swelling, and fussiness, and I was supposed to take it home in case I forgot that the risks were fever, redness, swelling, and fussiness. And it said to call my doctor if I was concerned about any other symptoms.
And you know how that went for me.
Guess this family wasn't so lucky....Do you really think that each and every person out there in getting all the necessary information about vaccines to make a thoughtful informed choice?
According to the information I was given, the only risk was if you had a 'severe immune disease e.g. HIV.' I knew Angie had some chronic fatigue and celiac, but it said "SEVERE" and "HIV" – those are STRONG words that didn't seem to fit Angela.
So, trusting what I know now to be a vague and 'ill-informed' piece of paper, I signed and she began her shots.
It wasn't until I reported her side effects to the local health unit I found out the HPV shot was Gardasil. It was only after I reported adverse reactions that the local health unit directed me to the manufacturer's website and Merck's product monograph. I was appalled at the very long list of side effects worded much differently than the information I had been given. It included phrases like a 'weakened immune system' as one of the risks. At the bottom of the list it stated "this is not a complete list of side effects." Had I been given an opportunity to read this ahead of time, I would have never agreed to Angela receiving Gardasil at all.
or this family who little girl is a quadriplegic now from her flu shot.
Honestly I think it's incredibly naive to think that people are given all the information up front when a vaccine is given. Id be willing to bet my house that thats the exception, not the rule.
looks like it got voted down. Big shocker there. Here is what gets me:
So when my doctor discusses the risks of a drug he prescribes and I get that piece of paper when I pick up my rx that lists alllllllllll of the possible side effects - that means he is anti-drug? wtf?

As always, My Protein Impact Whey helps me meet my protein requirements. I had been waiting for the launch of the Christmas flavours with eager anticipation, because I love all things festive... However the 'Marzipan Christmas Cake' flavour tastes neither of marzipan nor Christmas cake. It's not unpleasant, but it is strangely synthetic. Can't help but think that adding almond flavouring to the Rum and Raisin would have been closer to the desired taste? Furthermore, the Christmas flavours are not vegetarian-friendly (unlike the rest). This caused great upset to a vegetarian buddy who consumed a fair quantity before he realised!Goes Well With:Low fat yoghurt and dried fruits :)
Tryed the irish cream flavor and can't leave it alone! Mixes really easily and does exactly as it should! Great product as is the mass gainer extreme! Top products and service!! Goes Well With:Milk full fat
Vgood but the golden syrup getting sickly after a week or so
Really enjoying this flavour! Hard to stop myself from having 3 a day as it tastes just like Sticky Toffee Pudding! Would definitely purchase again. Not sure about effectiveness just yet as only just started taking but it's effective for reducing hunger levels straight after a workout!Goes Well With:Alpro Coconut Milk
Excellent product and tastes great unlike most protein shakes. A little bit sweet but thats not off putting.Goes Well With:Milk Water
I'm new to the myprotein brand and just thought I'd give it a try I bought this came on time as expected. I got the maple syrup flavour an to my surprise it actually taste like maple syrup great taste to it too, I've tried alot of different brands an protein shakes an have been disappointed by the taste an taste nothing like they claim to be. So from now I will stick with the myprotein brand all round this is a great product
I normally order natural choc or vanilla as they're very versatile but decided to try golden syrup for a change. I wasn't disappointed! The stuff tastes amazing in porridge which was the reason I bought it and I've not tried it in anything else. Another great protein MP xGoes Well With:Oats and yoghurt
I got my usual natural vanilla flavour as it never lets me down. I use it to make protein porridge,pancakes,in yoghurt,smoothies,baking and shakes. It's fantastic! Taste is great,it's very versatile,mixes well and helps me recover well after a workout,my body seems more toned tooGoes Well With:Yoghurt,almond milk and water
I am a strong advocate of Myprotein's products and in particular their impact whey. It is a brilliant product with a great amino acid profile and the flavours are amazing. Do not get caught up with the branding of companies such as Optimum Nutrition. You will waste your money. Goes Well With:Milk, Creatine, Dextrose
Tried quite a few products from other manufacturers in the past and always struggled with finding something that didn't taste terrible. These are actually tasty to drink after a hard session
Nice taste not too thick ! Great to make healthy milkshakes too or pancakes
Purchased the maple syrup flavour as it was on sale. At first I thought it was very sweet (almost too sweet) but once I got used to the flavour it almost taste like caramel! I don't drink it as a shake but put it in my porridge and coffee so it's a great sweetener with the benefit of protein. I'm happy I only have 1kg as I will probably look forward to trying another flavour or buying the unflavoured one when I'm done. Goes Well With:Porridge and coffee
A very strongly flavoured powder that tastes just like Irish Cream. I really like it but may get fed up of the taste after a while. Maybe a selection pack of smaller packs of each Xmas flavour would be nice as you could swap and have a different flavour when you wanted to. Generally mixed well and is lovely also added to porridge.
I'm glad that someone has thought of making the protein shake taste like baileys. Shame that it's only limited for Xmas period. I don't use it as meal replacement, as still feel hungry after drinking it. Not sure about how well it works on the long run as I have it just short time but it's definitely worth a try
During the Christmas period, the vast majority of my non-lifting family are indulging in festive treats. In the past, I've never been too bothered about missing out of treats but sometimes during the festive season I do feel slightly left out at times. I crave a Christmas flavour. The festive flavours are a fantastic way to add some Christmas into your diet, and recreate the nostalgia associated with festive food. I purchased the Irish Cream flavour. You can smell the powder upon opening the pouch, overcome by jovial memories of past Christmases. It mixes incredibly well, as the powder is much finer than that of standard impact whey. Works well with a vortex mixer a mixing ball or even a standard grated shaker. It tastes wonderful, not over powering at all. Goes well with water and becomes amazing when mixed with any kind of milk. Goes Well With:I mixed the whey into a sludge, to the consistency of a custard or a cream and poured it over a warmed mince pie. Which makes the macros slightly more favourable - if it fits your macros.
Hands down, this is the best protein I've purchased. I opened the package and took one whiff and text my pal to get some, it smelt amazing. Most protein flavours do so it had to come down to the mix-ability and taste, this didn't disappoint. You know how some you shake for minutes and it has loads of lumps in the bottom and sides? This didn't, 30 seconds shaking and it was mixed then went down a treat. No gritty texture that you get with loads and nice after taste. I will be trying other flavours now and can image it to give the same taste and mix. Guarantee I will not go anywhere else...plus the price is excellent value. Goes Well With:Making protein pancakes My training plan
For me this works really well, my workouts are more productive & I feel better. Tastes more like a fruity berry than Christmas Cake.
First time using MyProtein after years of using BBW, but last year or so noticed a decline in their quality. Tried the maple syrup flvour here - very, very good. Like Butterscotch Angel Delight for those of you old enough. Mixes very well, for the price, I am very pleased. Will continue to use in the future now, and use MyProtein as my main protein supplier.Goes Well With:Air
So disappointed with Christmas cake flavour :( way too sweet and sickly. And leaves a really weird after taste. I'm afraid this will be straight to the bin :( normally stick to vanilla/chocolate/strawberry but thought I'd chose a different flavour, shouldn't have. All th same mixes well and does what it should.Goes Well With:Milk
As always a great product with unbeatable value. tried Christmas cake for a laugh and it is really pretty tasty. A must have product for people looking to take training seriously in any walk of life.Goes Well With:water, milk, oats.
The product certainly does what it's supposed to but the taste is not the easiest to work with, especially if you're working out in the early mornings!
I have now tried this flavour along with the Christmas Cake flavour and would reccomend both, they are strong tastes, mix well and leaves me satisfied. Great for cooking in porridge with fruit or blended as part of a smoothie.Goes Well With:Oats, water, milk and fruit
Personally LOVE this flavour! I bought this in the new year and was bitterly dissapointed that I did not discover this sooner. On it's own this Irish Cream flavoured whey tastes amazingly similar to bailey's especially when mixed with skimmed milk instead of water. However it tasted even better (if possible) when added to Chocolate smooth flavoured whey as it creates a chocolate liquor taste, which again would have been perfect for those evenings in around Christmas as a perfect post workout drink. Whilst everyone else is on the baileys or whiskey in the evening over the festivities you can be drinking this knowing that you have stayed to that alcohol free, clean diet plan whilst building lean muscle. Well... it certainly started my new year off well, satisfying my cravings without indulging. Win-win. Goes Well With:Chocolate Smooth flavoured whey
So sad to see the Irish Cream is sold out, its perfect & when mixed with frozen pineapple it kinda tastes like Malibu & Pineapple, but also reminds me of Baileys ( my 2 favourite alcoholic drinks haha) Hope it comes back soon :)
I was a bit apprehensive about how the Christmas cake flavour would taste but it is really nice. I mainly use in porridge, the only downside is it doesnt mix really well without the shaker, so I tend mix in the shaker before I put in the porridge to heat up. High amount of protein in it too which is great when trying to increase your intake. Very impressed.Goes Well With:Porridge
Bought the Irish cream as my second purchase. Tastes just like the alcoholic drink- smooth and creamy. Mixes really easily even if you put the powder in first. Prompt and efficient delivery. Pouches arrived in excellent condition. Have just received another two pouches as don't want to be without this yummy shakeGoes Well With:Water and porridge
Bought this as my second purchased and was pleasantly surprised at how creamy this tasted and how much like the alcoholic drink it tasted. Decided to re-order and buy another two pouches before the stock sells out! Mixes really well whether you put the powder or water first and does not clump. Would definitely recommend My Protein to friends. Very quick and efficient delivery with goods arriving in good condition and adequate but not excessive packaging. Goes Well With:Water and porridge
I love the taste of the Irish cream!! I only really buy it to have as a sweet dessert, mixed with a few spoonfuls of water so it's a mousse like consistency. I don't think it's possible to ever comment on the effectiveness of a protein, it is what it is, a no nonsense basic protein source.
Great product, tastes good and mixes well.
This was my second purchase and was delighted with the lovely creamy taste - almost like the real thing! It mixes really well - there are no clumps left in the bottom of the shaker. Delivery was prompt and it arrived intact. Liked it so much I placed a second order before it sells out as don't want to be without this lovely yummy flavourGoes Well With:water and alongside porridge for breakfast
Bought this as my second purchase as I love the taste of a certain brand of Irish cream. I wasn't really expecting it to taste at all like the real thing but was very pleasantly surprised. It tastes very similar to the real thing and I have now purchased another two bags before it disappears. It mixes really well-no clumps in the bottom of your shaker- so no powder wasted. This also smells divine and therefore makes it a more pleasant experience. I have had protein shakes before that smell and taste unpleasant (not from My Protein I hasten to add.) I love this so much I could literally live off it. Really effective as well - no hunger pangs! Please when it's gone bring it back for this Christmas!
Not fo reveryone (my missus does not like it) but I found this affa fine and mixed great. Will order this again (after my lot finished and the extra stuff I bought from a competitor). Its only a slight taste of xmas cake so thats why I liked it.
Makes a very tasty protein shake- very impressed!
Bought two of the Irish Cream flavours as I love a certain Irish Cream alcohlic beverage. This tasted almost as good and without the alcohol or calories! Mixed really well. I have never had Irish Cream for breakfast before. Felt very opulent! Ordered on Tuesday and arrived on Wednesday. Very good efficient service. Will order more seasonal flavours if they taste this goodGoes Well With:Porridge for breakfast
Fantastic product. Tastes good. Mixes very well and easily and I find it to be very effective. This will def be my new product
Very good product, Christmas cake flavour is very nice and mixes well. Delivery also very quick, came the next day Goes Well With:Water
I ordered Christmas flavours - christmas cake & also cherry brandy. The cherry Brandy - tastes like a milk shake version of a cherry brandy ice lolly - so if you like them, you'll love this. The christmas Cake - I love it. Not sure if it tastes of christmas cake (its been that long since I ate cake!), but it does have a really nice flavour, hints of orange & cinamon & makes a really welcome change from the usual choc, strawberry, banana type flavours on offer. No chemically after taste that you get with some. I have bought more (currently on special to clear stock) as it isnt just a wintery flavour. Mixes really well and has a different powder consistancy to the rest of the range - so prob even easier to mixGoes Well With:water, or unsweeeted almond milk, or reg milk for really creamy option.
Good tasting basic protein...good value!
I thought I'd give the Irish cream flavour a go as it was offer, sounded weird, booze and workouts don't usually go as I remember it but I thought what the hell, it's cheap... Has a strong smell which is a little off putting at first but it's actually really nice, more like vanilla really with a little more taste.. Doesn't remind you of having an Irish cream, thank god as I work out at 6am usually and that would be just wrong... Mixes really well with minimal shaking and is very smooth... Defo recommend this and if you can get it on offer then even better... Like all my protein whey it's great and you expect decent results from it.. I'd say A star for flavour effort... Well done MP... :)Goes Well With:Water, almond milk, milk
Tried Irish Cream and Christmas Cake, the first one was pretty tasty, the second was good as well even though a little bit strange, tasted like peaches and vanilla, still good. Otherwise, mixability was just as good as the other flavors.
Schmeckt eig nach vanille. Loesbarkeit ist gut.
came four days after order taste was goodGoes Well With:oats penut butter milk
Christmas cake is one of my all time favourite things so I had to try this product. Tastes really nice added to porridge and slips down beautifully in a typical shake with water
I ordered the Christmas cake flavour which is actually very pleasant. I also mix a scoop with porridge sometimes which is also delicious. The texture of the powder is slightly different to the usual impact whey though - best way to describe it would almost be like sugar which is slightly odd. Nice to see some festive flavours released anyway, shame there wasn't a mince pie + cream or else I would've been all over that! :pGoes Well With:Milk, water, porridge.

See the Cast of 'Scrooged' Then and Now
Released in 1988, 'Scrooged' was a darkly comedic take on Charles Dickens' classic 'A Christmas Carol,' starring Bill Murray in the Ebenezer Scrooge role as Frank Cross, a cynical TV executive alienated from his family and unable to find real happiness. Struggling to put together a live production of 'A Christmas Carol' on Christmas Eve, Frank finds that his real life begins to resemble the story he's producing as three ghosts visit him throughout the evening to try and get him to change his ways before it's too late.
The film took Murray from battling ghosts in 'Ghostbusters' to learning lessons from them, and over time it's become a holiday comedy classic. 25 years later, we take a look back at the cast of the film and see where they are now.

Ryan Owens (born 1974) is an American journalist serving as a correspondent for ABC News, the news division of the American broadcast-television network ABC.
He graduated from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, in 1995.[citation needed][1]
From 1998 to 2001, Owens worked with WLWT, an NBC network affiliate in Cincinnati, Ohio, as well as stations in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and Evansville, Indiana.[2]
From 2001 to 2006, he was a reporter and anchor[clarification needed] at WHDH, an NBC-network affiliate in Boston, Massachusetts. During that time he reported on[clarification needed] the 2005 child sexual-abuse trial (acquittal) of Michael Jackson; the 2002 Winter Olympics; the 2004 funeral of U.S. President Ronald Reagan; the Scott Peterson trial (conviction); and some Academy Awards ceremonies.
Owens joined ABC News in August 2006 as an anchor and correspondent for ABC News Now, the network's twenty-four-hour news-and-information digital channel.
For most of 2007, he co-anchored — with Taina Hernandez — World News Now, ABC News's overnight news program. (He also occasionally anchored America This Morning, a 30-minute ABC News early-morning news program.)

In May 2013, Owens interviewed Jodi Arias after she was found guilty by the jury.[4]
Owens won a regional Emmy Award for coverage of special events and spot news reporting.

Bush League is, on its surface, a curious game: it's essentially a baseball take on Puzzle Quest, featuring crude parodies of famous players and figures around the sport, using performance-enhancing drugs that serve as the game's special powers. But it's the creator of the game that is particularly noteworthy. Dirk Hayhurst is a former baseball player who's become an author of several best-selling books about his life in baseball and some of the things that fans don't necessarily see about the culture. He's also become a provocative analyst, and was part of the post-game show on TBS for the 2013 MLB playoffs. And now he's a game developer, and he took the time to talk to me about this baseball parody he's helped to create.
The genesis of Bush League came about when Hayhurst noticed that "There's no good baseball game out there that kind of trolls baseball. You have all these scandals every year, but you never to seem to have a game that has all these players and all the drama they get into. And it's such a big thing right now in Major League Baseball to get caught using steroids, right? I thought, why can't we just make a game where you have to use steroids to win, and just troll the entire industry? I'm kind of like a black sheep of the baseball world anyways, and I always have kind of shown the other side of it, I thought, this is a great premise for a video game. Let's make Candy Crush with steroids."
The hook to Bush League is in the way that it tries to parody baseball. Famous players and other figures around the sport both past and present are the opponents that populate the game, and their personalities and dialogue make light of things that, say, MLB: The Show or RBI Baseball 14 would never touch.
Hayhurst's unafraid to make fun of situations that he was involved in. There's one character, Purcey Tweeps, who parodies David Price of the Tampa Bay Rays. Hayhurst criticized Price's performance after a playoff game he lost, and Price insulted Hayhurst's playing career and said "SAVE IT NERDS.". Purcey in the game makes reference to social media and to the nerds comment. Everything is a bit crude and over-the-top, but meant to, as Hayhurst says, "troll baseball" and "[service] that idea that baseball takes itself too seriously and needs a good mocking every now and then just to keep things even."
While Hayhurst financed the development of the game and his name is on it, he didn't just slap his name on it – he played an active role in development. "I was in charge of the art direction, the music direction… all the powers, I had to nest all the AI development, I had to decide the way it was going to look, the way it was going to feel, I had a say in all of that. At times I frustrated the guy doing the code, but it was a learning experience. And so there were things that I learned taking a shot at making a game that I never would have learned had I pursued a degree." Hayhurst says he realized his strengths were "the writing, and designing the characters and how the game should feel, and my coder had his strengths, which was taking all these wild ideas I had, parsing them down, teaching me the ropes, and making them work in the actual game.
Hayhurst doesn't want Bush League to be a static product either: he wants to, over time, update the game to incorporate other notorious events and scandals as characters and powers. He says he would love to tackle other sports in a similar way.
But given that he's created this media career for himself, is Hayhurst afraid of the blowback that could come from this parody of the sport and its players that he's created? He says "I don't think of the church of baseball as some holy sacrament that everyone has to be reverential to, especially guys like me that didn't have long careers. This kind of stuff deserves to get picked on a little bit, because it's quite ridiculous when you think about it. I have always done that. And I understand because I'm in the sports entertainment field, I'm criticizing the sports entertainment field. I'm not criticizing these individual players, I'm criticizing the Franken-player that we've made out of them by knowing very little about who they are and taking what we know publicly and hyping it up, and turning it into something it isn't. That is what I've always done, and that's what got me on TBS and ultimately keep it from it at some point, but that's who I am, and that's the style that I like to work in."
Thanks to Dirk Hayhurst for his time. Bush League is available now.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Converging and Convincing Proof of God: Consciousness
By Andrew M. Greenwell, Esq.
December 16th, 2012 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) Can matter alone explain human consciousness? Or is matter alone unable to explain consciousness, requiring that we look outside of matter to a transcendent Cause, that is, God, to explain it? CORPUS CHRISTI, TX (Catholic Online) - How do we think? How we know ourselves? In short, where does human consciousness come from? How do I explain "my selfbeing, my consciousness and feeling of myself, that taste of myself, of 'I' and 'me' above and in all things"? Where does that something that "is more distinctive than the taste of ale or alum, more distinctive than the smell of walnutleaf or camphor, and is incommunicable by any means to another man," as Gerard Manley Hopkins unforgettably put it, come from?Can matter alone explain human consciousness? Or is matter alone unable to explain consciousness, requiring that we look outside of matter to a transcendent Cause, that is, God, to explain it? Is consciousness, in the words of Emily Dickinson's poem "This Consciousness that is Aware," self-contained, adequate unto itself, explained by matter alone? How adequate unto itself Its properties shall be Itself unto itself and none Shall make discovery. Is Mind equivalent to Brain? Are our thoughts--even those of God--transcendental seeming, but actually nothing but epiphenomena stemming from matter alone? Is Dickinson correct when she wrote in her poem "The Brain-is wider than the Sky"? The Brain is just the weight of God-- For--Heft them--Pound for Pound-- And they will differ--if they do-- As Syllable from Sound-- Or, rather, is self-consciousness and mind something more along the lines of that which Gerard Manley Hopkins says it is, in his poem "As Kinfishers Catch Fire," something that relates to "God's eye"? Selves-goes itself; myself it speaks and spells, Crying Whát I do is me: for that I came. Í say móre: the just man justices; Kéeps gráce: thát keeps all his goings graces; Acts in God's eye what in God's eye he is-- Despite the many efforts of empirical scientists wed, in a sort of unholy marriage, to a physicalist or materialist view of the world to try to explain it, human consciousness has refused to be put in a materialistic box. Human consciousness remains intransigent, despite all efforts of the empiricist's greedy grasps to grab it and reduce it to a slave of his one-dimensional science. It remains a wild and untameable "mystery," to the chagrin of materialists, "and one to which materialism signally fails to provide an answer" as Geoffrey Madell put it in his book Mind and Materialism. While scientists can explain the human brain, they have had fits explaining the human mind. In the words of J. P. Moreland, materialistic theories of mind "have multiplied like rabbits," to the point where we may be reaching a "Kuhnian paradigm crisis," which could spell a sort of revolution in thought. In his book, The Existence of God, Father John J. Pasquini sets forth a short list of these prolific (if sterile) efforts at explaining consciousness: "patterns of electromagnetic activation, brain wave sequences, brain wave collapses, synaptic tunnels, synaptic passages, neural networks, neural excitations, neurotransmittters, quantum waves, quantum discontinuities, and quantum cytoskeletal states, . . . the interaction of bosons and fermions, biological oscillators, and plasma charged particles . . . . trajectory or particles, 'subtle energies,' the excitation of condensates, and the working in unison of molecules, [and] [a]ll forms of electro-chemical processes . . . ." The sheer number of materialist theories bespeak of failure. The Grand Narrative of Evolution is faltering, stuttering, even babbling before the mystery of human consciousness, which is nothing but a witness, a whisper, nay, even the image of God. In the words of Scripture, we might say that that Darwin's more zealous disciples are stumbling upon the truth that the name of the naturalistic explanation of consciousness is "Legion, for we are many." (Mark 5:9) The fact is that you can pile matter, upon matter, upon matter, and time, upon time, upon time, and you still do not get mind, you still do not get consciousness. Mind, consciousness, the human soul, spirit do not emerge--cannot emerge--from matter. Even the atheist philosopher Colin McGinn recognizes the problem when he wrote in his book The Mysterious Flame: "How can mere matter originate consciousness? How did evolution convert the water of biological tissue into the wine of consciousness? Consciousness seems like a radical novelty in the universe." If--per impossibile--consciousness could be explained by empirical science, then the "I" of consciousness disappears because it has lost all first person significance. If a scientist can perfectly describe my consciousness without me, then it follows there is no me, since "me" can be fully explained by matters outside of me. No longer is consciousness "more distinctive than the taste of ale or alum, more distinctive than the smell of walnutleaf or camphor." No longer is it "incommunicable by any means to another man." In short, it is not consciousness. Also, if consciousness could be explained as purely physical phenomena, then we would have to face the fact that we are not free. Everything we think, desire, or feel would of necessity follow physical laws. All of a sudden, our consciousness has become a matter of necessity, of determinism, and moral responsibility disappears, as does the importance of anything we do, and indeed the importance of who I am and of who you are. Additionally, if consciousness were a product of matter alone, then what is thought? Thought would be but a dream, a nightmare perhaps, caused by "an undigested bit of beef, a blot of muster, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of an underdone potato." It would seem our scientists who disdain the human spirit are philosophical Scrooges in serious need of some ghostly visitations. The argument of God's existence from the experience of human consciousness is a rather simple series of steps. Not all of them are without controversy, and, unfortunately, we are not able to expand on them in this article. For one effort, we might borrow from J. P. Moreland's article "The Argument from Consciousness":
In his book The Right Questions: Truth, Meaning & Public Debate, Phillip Johnson has mocked the holy writ of the materialists: In the beginning were the particles and the impersonal laws of physics. And the particles somehow became complex living stuff; And the stuff imagined God; But then discovered evolution. Well . . . doubtfully. For there is the irreducible fact of consciousness, and, as, in a saying Descartes stated in his Regulae XII: sum ergo Deus est. I am conscious, therefore, God exists. If "God is dead," as Nietzsche famously said, then man is dead. Conversely, if man is alive, then God is alive. God and God's image go together for the very simple reason that God's image comes from God. No. The materialists are wrong. The theists are right. I am too sure of "my selfbeing, my consciousness and feeling of myself, that taste of myself, of 'I' and 'me' above and in all things." And no materialist can presume to tell me otherwise. In light of this mystery of human consciousness and the inability of a pure materialistic philosophy adequately to answer it, it seems that we are at the threshold of Faith. It would be unseeming at the threshold of Faith to turn away, and refuse to hear the words of the child: Tolle lege. Tolle lege. Take and read. Take and read. It is befitting--more responsible and sensible--to take leave from science and turn to the words of the Gospel of John: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God He was in the beginning with God All things came to be through him, and without whim nothing came to be. . . . . And the word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth. (John 1:1-3, 14) Yes. This Word, this Logos become man--Christ--makes eminently more sense than particles and their swerve. Turn not to particles, but to Chríst--for Christ plays in ten thousand places, Lovely in limbs, and lovely in eyes not his To the Father through the features of men's faces. Aye. And in men's consciousness, men's internal faces. In Christ, I may hope some day to see God face to face, "my selfbeing, my consciousness and feeling of myself, that taste of myself, of 'I' and 'me' above and in all things" will see God's self-being, God's consciousness and feeling of Himself, that taste of God Himself, of God's I am Who am, of God eminently above and in all things.

UC to Debut Free Online State History Database
The Web site Calisphere, which UC officials described as a "learning tool," doubles as both a database and a search engine. Internet users will be able to look at materials such as diary entries, artwork, cartoons and transcripts that have been gathered from cultural heritage organizations across the state and 10 UC campuses.
"The Calisphere Web site is a remarkable learning tool that will provide students with a rich experience of California's multicultural heritage," said State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell. "It puts the libraries and museums of the entire UC system, along with rich historical resources from cultural heritage organizations, right at the fingertips of California students."
Unlike other databases such as the scholarly archive JSTOR, Calisphere does not require a subscription fee and its use is not limited to UC students and faculty.
"First of all, Calisphere is free, so it's open to anyone in the world," said Rosalie Lack, manager of public content at the California Digital Library. "It's not restricted information at all and anyone doing research will have Calisphere freely available."
The intent of Calisphere was to promote California's diverse history and its role in the world, Lack said. One of Calisphere's special features is the Japanese American Relocation Digital Archive, a comprehensive database with over 10,000 primary resource materials related to the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II.
Lack said Calisphere would have its most profound impact on K-12 classrooms.
"We've created something called Themed Collections," she said. "We use California content standards to organize subjects by content. Calisphere's (Themed Collections) will emphasize topics that will be taught in K-12 classrooms."
Teachers from all across California, including Bay Area middle and high schools, were included in focus panels to determine Calisphere's layout and the contents of its database.
Lack said the Calisphere's objective post-release is to find more content to include in the database.
"Today it's up and running but we will always be adding new content and undergoing new improvements such as new K-12 theme components," she said.
Jennifer Colvin, a spokesperson for the California Digital Library, was also excited about Calisphere's prospects.
"It's a great place to go to find new information with over 150,00 materials online," she said.

Got a chance to take my new Mini 14 Ranch Rifle to the range today for an hour. Main goal was to zero the iron sights - at the ranges I would anticipate using this carbine, I prefer the faster target acquisition of the iron sights. No scope for me!
I cleaned and lubed it prior to the range trip - this is one of the cleanest firearms I've ever received from a factory. Only my Glock 26 was as clean out of the box. That shows attention to detail.
Function was flawless except for one failure to feed that was my fault - I didn't fully seat one of the short 5-rd mags. Another reason to use the 20-rd mags - better leverage and easier to grip!
With Winchester and Remington 55-gr FMJ ammo (from Wal Mart), accuracy was very good. At 25 yards, if I did my part, I could keep my shot groups small enough to cover with my thumb nail. The groups opened up a bit at 100 yards - more due to my eyes than the carbine. Still plenty accurate for the intended purpose. The newer Mini's with the tapered barrels do indeed seem more accurate than the older ones.
My only complaint is with the iron sights - they require an allen wrench for making adjustments (which is included) and are a bit fiddly. My preference for a combat rifle is for the iron sights being adjustable with no tools (other than maybe a bullet point). I also found that the adjustment range was limited - despite moving the sight fully to the right, I found my groups were still a bit left.
Overall, I really like this carbine, and would recommend it as a home defense gun! For the price, it is hard to beat.
