Obsidianj's 2006 Birthday Presents
1. Longing - by Gandalfs apprentice
Though all to ruin fell the world
and were dissolved and backward hurled,
unmade into the old abyss,
yet were its making good, for this,
the dawn the dusk, the earth the sea,
that Lúthien on a time should be.
In the Great Hall of Gondor the lords and ladies fell silent as the minstrel's tenor poured forth Beren's ardent love.
Captain Thorongil sat at the Steward's high table, his head bowed, dismayed at the painful leaping of his heart. Why must every young singer take on the test of this song? he asked himself irritably. And I cannot leave without drawing notice.
He sighed. Yet here no dangers loom, no watch must be kept, no men commanded.
For a little while, he could indulge the rapture and torment of his desire. He closed his eyes and sank into memory.

It's been two years, ten days, seventeen hours and thirty minutes since that day. The day when I finally sat down and decided: "Ok, so I'm writing a book." During four days I hardly ate nor slept, and then 80 pages were done. And then, I did nothing. Until two months later, when my boyfriend and I took six weeks off work, flew to New York, and took a Creative Writing 101 class at Gotham Writers' Workshop.
My wonderful teacher Stacy Parker Le Melle, my boyfriend, the classmates, the time off work—and New York City—proved to be exactly what I needed. While struggling with writing in English for class, I literally felt how all the creativity was just dying to "get out" in Swedish. So I wrote. And wrote.
Two months later it was time to pack our bags and go back to Stockholm. Thanks to New York, I did it with some excess baggage. Thanks to Gotham Writers' Workshop, I did it with a 240-page book.
I spent the summer rewriting, finishing, polishing, editing. And then it was 430 pages long, and I sent it out. A publisher liked it, wanted it, handed me a contract—soon after, a deliveryman rang my doorbell and handed me the very first book from the very first edition of Fadersmord (in English, Patricide).
So Gotham…
From the bottom of my heart: Thank you for being such a big part in making this happen.
Within a few months of the end of SF II, I had a short story published. A few months later, a second. In December, a third was released as a podcast by Tales of Old. I will be able to brag to my musically talented brother that I am on iTunes before he is.
But the most amazing development came from an opportunity our instructor brought to our attention. She told us about an open call for novel manuscripts at Samhain Publishing, where Don D'Auria was starting a new horror line. I applied what I had learned in class to polish a story and then submitted it. Well, I nearly had a heart attack when it got accepted. So my novel Dark Inspiration went on sale in November in e-book format and will be released in paperback in February 2012. Yesterday, my second novel Sacrifice was also accepted for publication in 2012.
Gotham classes made the success I have today possible. But it isn't just me. When class ended, six other Gotham grads and I formed the Minnows Literary Group, in order to continue sharpening our skills. Members of that group have since won multiple poetry contests, published short stories, and been invited as guest writers for online magazines.
Anyone out there wondering if an online writing class can really be worthwhile should wonder no more. Gotham is the place to be.
Russell James
Marie's enthusiastic response to "Jack" gave me the confidence to submit it to Prairie Schooner. If it hadn't been for her encouragement, I don't think I would have submitted to them. Marie also suggested that I write a collection of similar essays about my work as a psychologist in human service agencies; I've just completed my second essay toward this book.
Dear Gotham,
I've loved to write from the first day I could do it, as a young child, and I've written with some consistency since then. But it was only when I took a Gotham Fiction Writing class, taught by Carole Bugge during the winter of 2008, that I wrote a story worthy of publication. And it was published!
My short story, "Tough As Diamonds" has recently been published in issue #2 of the Sherlock Holmes Mystery Magazine. The story is about a private investigator who can spot a client's lie or pull the rug out from under a guilty man's best alibi quicker than you can say Hammett or Chandler.
I wrote and workshopped the story in Carole's class, and she suggested I submit it to SHMM. So I owe Gotham, especially Carole Bugge and my classmates, a huge thanks for helping me find my voice as a writer, write a story others seem to enjoy reading, and get published.
Anyone interested in reading my story can find a copy of it in issue #2 of the Sherlock Holmes Mystery Magazine, available on amazon.com.
Many thanks,
David Waxman

How come you back to using PNG again from using SVG for the charts?
Phoronix: Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS, 12.04 LTS, 12.10 On An Old Laptop
Last week I shared how the open-source R500 driver can compete with the legacy Catalyst Linux driver on an old Intel laptop with ATI graphics, but how has the performance for other areas of the system changed with the latest Ubuntu Linux code? In this article are benchmarks from other areas of this Core Duo laptop when running Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, and then a recent development snapshot of Ubuntu 12.10.
How come you back to using PNG again from using SVG for the charts?
While Windows boys recommend to use older Windowses on older hardware it's seems it's exactly opposite in Linux. It's becoming faster and faster. Even if Unity or Gnome Shell slows your computer down it's better to switch to other DE rather than older distribution.
heh - seems like I need to recompile my system (gentoo) and kernel with gcc 4.7 then
nice improvements
thanks for the benchmarks Michael !
now I can consider installing newer Ubuntu releases on our older laptop
But then after some service packs Vista started to suck less.
Now most people moved to Windows 7 which is decent (though, I much prefer Linux).
Now Windows 8 is coming, and I don't like it, but who knows perhaps after some service packs...
I see no point in buying Windows 7 or 8 when XP does all of the FEW things I use Windows for (and I already own it). I'll just continue to run XP in a Virtual Machine under Linux Mint.
Windows 7 is a much more system with User Account Control (UAC), Universal Audio Architecture (UAA), Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM), etc. Better support for 64-bit, etc.
New games might require DirectX 10 and 11.
Windows XP is a old, oudated, legacy system. It was alright back then, but these days its a decade old, its so legacy.
Windows 7 is a much nicer system.
Windows 8 have some new nice stuff too, such as Windows Live USB, WDDM 2, etc. But Metro on the desktop sucks.
The only reason I use windows 7 over XP is because it does prove to perform better, it supports DX11, and has symlinks. I've gotten DX10 to work in XP before, but I want 11. The only reason I want win8 over win7 is because it seems to be cleaned up a lot more - you don't get half the crap that you never plan to run. If I can get rid of that disaster of an interface they call Metro, I might pirate win8.

Is the quality of the creative driver simply so bad or are there other reasons not to include them? I don't understand it.
And why isn't there a "vesa" for sound cards, with which every card works rudimentary?
Phoronix: ALSA 1.0.19 Released With Many Changes
There were no release candidates or any official test builds this time around, but ALSA 1.0.19 was released this morning. There are many changes to be found in this latest update for the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture...
Is the quality of the creative driver simply so bad or are there other reasons not to include them? I don't understand it.
And why isn't there a "vesa" for sound cards, with which every card works rudimentary?
There kinda is, for every SoundBlaster-compatible card you can use sb. Too bad making your sound card such is not anymore the hottest boom, so only older cards tend to be like that.
they aren't codind the driver to give Creative a lesson. the next time, they will think twice before doing what they did. and you know what? I'm happy because I already know alsa wont have X-fi driver before this summer. in the mean time buy other high ends card.
you deserve this Creative.
My microphone doens't work in ALSA 1.0.18 (I don't have the capture devices anymore). I hope 1.0.19 fixes the problem. Many HDA-Intel cards have similar problems (the .18 version was pushed via updates in Fedora).
While I agree with this sentiment, it's not Creative suffering. Those of us who follow the tech world know Creative is a monopolistic patent troll that happens to make hardware. Unfortunately, they con a lot of people into buying their hardware, mostly because they acquire or sue the competition when it threatens to play to Creative's key crowd (gamers). They also pull stunts like making Audigy/2/4 owners pay for EAX support in Vista (though pirated versions are freely available).you deserve this Creative.
Anyway, I can't say I feel too sorry for the uninformed sheep that keep flocking back to Creative to get screwed time and again.
The last time I checked the ALSA dev list (a while ago), at least some of the devs had actually received X-fi samples from Creative and Creative's own ALSA driver seems to work well for a lot of users. I'm guessing that an X-fi driver will show up in ALSA sooner than later.so don't be surprised really much if x-fi doesn't work in Ubuntu 9.10
As for OSS4, I keep up with the mailing list, and it seems like the devs there are content with the basic X-fi stereo driver (which works well for most X-fi cards). Unless someone's working on it without fanfare, they seem to have other priorities (MIDI, USB audio).
yea, what I actually meant was: if a user buys a xonar card instead of an x-fi, i'm happy because its -1 customer for creative.
as for the support in alsa, that was just a joke. but I really wouldn't put my hand on a fire saying an x-fi card will fully work as it should for october 2009....
Oh, and by the way -- please tell me the name of just 1 (one) other card except the SBLive/Audigy line that can support HARDWARE wavetable (preferably also in Linux) and costs the same. Just one.
So yeah, other soundcards exist but they are little more than glorified integrated chipsets, I don't really see a point in buying any such card -- with fully digital connections, there is no difference in SNR or sound quality and it all comes down to the drivers. And Creative (although with a bad track record) do have better ones than the likes of Asus...
So all this attitude about "punishing" anyone is like cutting your nose to spite your face -- it's not helping anyone and it sounds like kindergarten logic. I'd like to give the ALSA devs the benefit of the doubt and consider them above that level, even though the open-source driver has been out there for... how many months? they really don't have much in the form of an excuse anymore.

October 18th, 2008
This week was a pretty good week. I still miss my cat a ton, but it has been getting better for me slowly. Everyone that had met him has been very kind and makes me feel appreciative to have them as my friends. I thoroughly enjoyed Wednesday evening this week. I did the cultural event with TRiO at Le Chat Gourmet, Moroccan kitchen night. It was so much fun and delicious, plus everyone I met and was able to hang out with for the evening in TRiO was so great.
This Thursday I went out with my friends to have a few beverages to hang out and share funny stories from our past before their marriage on Friday night. We were all laughing because my one friend and I argue like we are siblings so everyone was reminiscing about how hilarious our interactions were. Then of course we had to share funny stories about his fiancé. There were many laughs and smiles all evening.
Friday evening finally came. My friends got married at the Alumni Chapel on the MSU Campus. Whatever you do, don't ever get directions to any place on campus through MapQuest! We got so lost and we made it just in the nick of time. I felt so bad because we left early and took a tour of campus instead of getting to where we needed to be. I guess a lot of the brides' family got lost as well so many unfortunately were not there to witness the joyous occasion. I am so happy we made it though, it was so beautiful and cool to see my friends become husband and wife! The reception was very cool as well. Many cool pictures from the evening that I cannot wait to see!
Between work and all of the events this week I somehow finished all my homework and turned it in. It stressed me a little, but I survived it thankfully. It was a tough and fun week though. It isn't the usual week and it made it interesting. I still have been thinking about the science degree instead of web design. I could at least conjoin science and computers together, which would be double awesome! I need to talk to more people about this and plan this out. Until next time, have a good week!

It is not Matt Ryan alone, it is the players that they put around him. If Tannehill had Julio Jones, Harry Douglass, and others to throw the ball to we wouldn't even be discussing this.
---------- Post added at 05:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 PM ----------
This sounds like more of a Jeff Ireland / Bill Parcells problem. If they didn't waste picks on clowns like Pat White....
And if the falcon lose this game it's back to the Ryan was the right choice, but it's a team game and not his fault his D folded down the stretch. ? Seriously i'm tired of the ryan vs. long debate, as if there ever really was a debate. I don't blame jeff Ireland for long being our 1 one pick. I blame parcels. And that being said, its not like jake has completely bombed in the NFL, he was a good choice, just not the best choice. We had no QB and we should've picked Ryan. but with that being said, we should've drafted Brees, we should've drafted Rogers, and we should've signed brees. lotsa what ifs, lotsa shouldas, and lotsa GMS that made those choices that are no longer here. Jeff picked his QB. lets worry about Tannehill's success, not Ryan's success.
"I didn't feel like we had to score," Tannehill said. "I had the mindset we were going to score."
One team is mediocre. One team is elite. End of discussion.
We didn't pass on Akers. What's your point

Irish Santa in Green Hat and Red Coat Christmas Ornaments
Personalized Christmas Ornament
Erin go bragh! This Irish phrase is often translated as Ireland Forever and promotes patriotism and allegiance to Ireland. Wearing a green top hat and coat this Irish Santa looks like a leprechaun. He carries a sack of presents over his back and a fiddle in his hand, ready to strike it up for dancing an Irish jig or playing dueling fiddles. A personalized Irish Santa ornament makes a great gift for a person with a strong Irish heritage or someone who wants to decorate an around the world themed tree with ornaments that represent different countries. This Polish glass ornament is beautiful and you will really love the fine details and finishing touches that makes this ornament a masterpiece.
Material: Polish

Stats Will Speak For Them Self!
When it comes to sports, the most boring thing to do is keeping or taking stats. On this www.miamiquicklylocksmith.com/locksmiths-in-miami-beach-doral-coral-gables-key-biscayne-coconut-groove-fl you can see the stats for all the best coconut grove locksmith and help you choose the right one for you. Of course everyone will like to be enjoying the game and having a good time with they're friends but they can't because they need to be writing everything down.But the most important thing when it comes to sports is those stats. With stats we use them to know who's doing the best right now and who's improving the most this year. Even when it comes to picking our most valuable player we need to go back to the stats to find out who should win that. When you see garage door repair round rock TX number this year, you will be amazed.
Stats are also good because you can keep them forever and find out who was the best player of all time in that sport. Some of the good things that they say about www.miamibeachlocksmithinc.com is that they are the best at miami beach locksmith and the number don't lie. the So that means you can compare a player from 50 years ago to a player that's playing right now.
Because of course you can't have them play each other right now because the younger one will win. With the numbers that Miami massage have been getting this month, it shows everyone what hard will do for you. It won't be as fun as seeing them plays each other but that's as close we are going to get.
The next thing that stats could be helpful for is to get players in the hall of fame. Since they keep stats from the first game to the last game the player played you can really see if they are worthy to join that elite group of players. Now that you can get anything on a website like on this window blinds website. You can get all types of blinds on their website, find more at http://theprimeblinds.com/solar-sun-shades-roller-screens-for-windows, http://theprimeblinds.com/blackout-shades-room-darkening-window andhttp://theprimeblinds.com/motorized-blinds-cordless-window-shades-remote-control-electric-automatic.

With speech therapist Miami you can see with the stats that it will help out alot more.
And the way that they keep it is getting really interesting because there are starting to put science into it also.
Well the name will explain everything the show is called "Sport Science". In that show they can all the stats of players, they also get real players, and they combine that with science to find out how strong or quick or good you really good. having stats for your company like http://ihomeupgrades.hubpages.com/hub/home-improvement-tips-tricks isn a way to grow in the future. So that's pretty cool showing us how if we do one thing different it can help us improve are stats on anything in the sport you play.
If you want to get into taking stats and keeping them for the future right now it will be idle to get into it. Something cool that I like that http://masterslocksmith.com/locksmith-fort-lauderdale-aventura-pompano-beach-hallandale-hollywood-fl does with their employees of locksmith in Hollywood fl, they keep track of them with points and in the end of each month who ever has the most point will get a bonus. It's a lot easier now then back then in the time when it was boring and you only had a pen and a paper, but now you have computers, television, and all the technology we have now and day.
Stats Speak So You Better Listen Up To Them
Stats speak for themselves. There are stats all around us and I know some of you might not like math but stats have a good thing about them, they never lie. The reason they never lie is because they are the truth behind the numbers. I was talking to the owner of www.partyrentalmiaminicky.com and he was telling me that the way he finds out which party rental in miami product will have a discount will depend on what's selling and what isn't. When numbers add up it gives a way to actually calculate stuff and give an educated guess rather than just a shot in a barrel type guess.
Stats are kept and taken into account in many different things in our lives. For example sports, how many times do you turn on the TV and all you hear about is the stats of the game. No other player has had their stats more talked about than Lebron. So to him, I don't think he likes to hear about stats. Look up Locksmith Houston TX stats from last year. Although the Heat seems to be winning a lot in recent years so I'm sure all he cares about is the stat of wins. So who came up with stats? Was it a board math wiz? I think not, I think it was just a way people kept score and it just evolved from there.
Remember that stats don't just have to do with sports, they are also seen in science and different things were stats are vital to the person analyzing them. I know it's hard to believe but stats run the world. Take a look around you at your own house, and you will see furniture right? Well guess what, a lot of stats were taken just to make that piece of furniture. In the long run one might be blinded by stats but they should not be. It's just a great way to learn about stuff and see which is better than which. Back to the furniture example, the other day I was shopping for wooden blinds that I taught might be sun shades or room darkening blinds from theprimeblinds.com the #1 online window treatment company for motorized blinds and started to read about it's different stats like openness factors and percentage of what it is made. Find more of their great and cheap roman blinds at http://www.theprimeblinds.com/roman-shades-custom-discount-blackout-fabric and be sure to let them know we sent you. Bamboo roman shades at http://theprimeblinds.com/bamboo-blinds-shades-matchstick-roman-woven-wood-roll-up-window, http://www.theprimeblinds.com/window-treatments-coverings-blinds-custom-discount , http://www.theprimeblinds.com/window-shades-roller-up-black-fabric and http://www.theprimeblinds.com/fabric-vertical-blinds-cheap-window-treatments-sliding-glass-doors-large-panel-track-patio-door. After a lot of research I found which type of window blind was best for my situation. And guess how I did it? I put all the stats together and let them answer the question for me.
You see stats don't have to be that complicated and it's truly something we can use in our everyday lives and should not be taken for granted. Like the other day my TV went bad, and I had to find bounce house rentals miami to fix it, now I do not take my TV for granted anymore. Anything now a day, when it comes to stats can easily be found online. Stats give us a great way to compare things and in turn make the best decisions.
Stats, are even important when it comes to getting married. A lot of people are getting divorced, so you better be sure to be in love. And if you are looking for the best wedding dress for your wedding, I would recommend you visit this website: http://www.sayyesbrides.com/cheap-wedding-dresses-online-discount-affordable-inexpensive-bridal-gowns because they will have a lot of cheap wedding gowns for sale, you can also check out http://www.sayyesbrides.com/cheap-plus-size-wedding-dresses-gowns-with-sleeves-discount, http://www.sayyesbrides.com/cheap-bridesmaids-dresses-online
Welcome to our Blog
This blog is created to show importance of relying on stats when trying to predict an outcome or make a decision.

scrappy trips
I can't believe how fast this quilt top was to put together!
The insanity started on December 29th and finished on January 1st. To say I got completely obsessed was an understatement.
Now it's done I absolutely LOVE how it's turned out, it's bright, it's cheery and full of my favourite fabrics from the stash closet.
Now I just need to get this baby quilted and bound and ready for snuggling under!
Join in the informal quilt along on instagram using the hashtag #scrappytripalong and join the flickr group here.
(I actually think I'm going to make more of these - just 9 blocks in a 3 x 3 layout would make excellent new baby size, at 36" square, and it'd take no time at all)
You can find links to the quiltville tutorial and a gazillion inspiring photos at the flickr group.
Oh - and Brenda and I were thinking, this is the year of the informal quilt along. A hashtag, no prizes, no sponsoring, no big deal - just sewing for the heck and the sheer joy of it. What do you think? Maybe even a new quilt every month, something simple, a free tutorial, that you can make as big or as small as you like (4 of these scrappy trips block make a 24" pillow, for example), and that uses up scraps or FQs from your stash.

I love the informality of it! I love the look of this quilt! I hope that I am able to eventually make one up as soon as I scratch off a bunch of things on the must-do list!

- Esch House Quilts said...
Wow you are fast! Love the idea of informal quilt alongs every month or so :)

Katy I love your quilt. I also love the idea of infornal quil a longs. I am really loving the scrappy trip along

- Aliceart said...
Just found you and bookmarked you. I've had this quilt in my to do pile for quite a while. I'll be looking for your informal quilt alongs...I can probably manage those. Love the idea of no obligations, no failures, just fun!
- 2 January 2013 at 16:04
- Spoolhardy Girl said...
LOVE that idea almost as much as I love all the scrappy quilts from this group that I've been seeing. I don't think people join a QAL for the prizes anyway. We do it , or at least I do, for the sense of community we get from doing something together. Prizes make too much work for the folks hosting the QAL, and I would think that fabric shops get tired of constantly being asked for donations. Let's hear it for quilting along for the pure fun of it!

- Deborah said...
I LOVE the informal -along. This one was so fun to check in on, and entirely too tempting. I'm trying to rationalize bailing out on any number of activities and obligations in order to clear room to wail on this puppy. Yours is amazing--not surprisingly. Can't wait to see how you choose to quilt it!

Your scrappy trip quilt is just gorgeous. I'm making one with Amy Butler scraps (and making scrap vomit rows via leaders and enders) but I'm already thinking of using my Denyse Schmidt scraps for yet another one. 2013 is going to be the year of the scrap buster - so yeah, I'm all for informal QALs. Love your blog - you're so inspirational.

I love that idea!!! :)

I like the idea of iQALs. It is just killing me that I am out of town during the tripalong. I want to play so bad.
- 2 January 2013 at 16:36

Sounds like a great plan. I'd already decided to make some scrappy cushion covers - I am very bored with the ones we have at the moment!

Your quilt is so pretty. I am going to join this soon. I love the idea you and Brenda came up with.

Once again Katie you have brought beauty and inspiration to my Quilty world. I love the idea of an informal quilt along each month I'll try to stick with it. I just love everything you make. I'm such a copycat. Xoxo

Man the looks good! Perhaps my next one will be more stash controlled rather than scrap controlled! Loving the idea of impromptu quilt alongside :). You know I'm always up for a challenge! Especially a good quickie! Lol
- 2 January 2013 at 17:28
A once a month fun project would be great. I love tutorials and it would be lovely to have something to look forward to.

Okay...that's just insane!!! 4 days?! Did you eat? sleep? breathe? LOL
I'm crazy jealous actually. I haven't even finished my scap vomit yet.
I like your quilt along idea. Fun.

It looks fab, love it! I'm still resisting, but then Kim at Go Go Life is having a giveaway of a jelly roll that would work perfectly for this, so if I win I'll make one...
- 2 January 2013 at 18:37
- Catherine said...
Ooooh, an informal QAL sounds like a great idea. I really need to try this one, the twitter pics have been fabulous
- 2 January 2013 at 18:47
- Katherine said...
Wow! That was fast. Your new quilt top is so gorgeous, Katy. LOVE IT.
Informal QAL sounds perfect.
I can't want to start my own Scrappy Trip Along...

I cut fabrics for mine last night - if every informal quiltalong catches on like this one we'll all have a nice pile of quilts at the end of the year :)

I'm in, tho I'm going to use my Lotta Jansdotter fabric (I've got way to much of it) ~ not scrappy but it will still look great!
- 2 January 2013 at 19:54
- Carol Stearns said...
I love it. I"ve got lots of 2.5 inch squares I could use and more scraps to cut!
- 2 January 2013 at 20:27
- Karen said...
It is gorgeous! I tried scrappy trip and my fabrics were so very sad I just didn't continue. I think I will stick with SV. I am all for the no pressure QAL - will happily look for them.
- 2 January 2013 at 21:03
- Shen said...
Stunning quilt! I'm inspired and love the idea of an informal quilt along - I need the support of others to get me going! Can't believe how quickly yours came together!

Looks so lovely!
I am determined to stash-bust this year, so I'm up for anything that helps - although batting giveaways will more than welcome!

Absolutely looove your scrappy quilt! Can't believe how fast you got it done! Like the idea of the quiltalongs, just have to figure out the whole hast thingey...an iphone is wasted on me says my daughter :)
- 2 January 2013 at 22:33
- mascanlon said...
I totally loved the spontaneity of this quilt along! And I might not do all of them but having a fun project just jump out at me form time to time would be great fun. I am off to keep working on my blocks, I will not be left behind...lol!
- 2 January 2013 at 22:57

It's absolutely wonderful! I've joined the Flickr group, but haven't started yet! Love how informal the group is!

I think I love yours more than I love mine. I didn't think this was possible!
Thank you for all the encouragement over on Instagram. It's been a hoot, hasn't it?
- 3 January 2013 at 03:05
- Mandalin said...
yay for informal quiltalongs! Sure, I love prizes, but I don't need one to be enticed to sew! :D
- 3 January 2013 at 04:04

You're a machine! It's gorgeous! I'm working on mine slowly ....

I seriously love this! And I am annoyed that I have to pack up and move and don't get to play along just yet.

LOVE yours + Brenda's idea of 2013 being the year of the informal quilt-along. Seeing the #scrappytripalong pics on my instagram feed has been so great, I've loved seeing what everyone is making - without feeling like I've had to join in too, since I'm trying hard to finish my WIP-mountain.
Instagram and flickr are perfect for spreading the word and sharing the love, with no pressure to join in or if you do, to take perfect pics for blog posts. And I really like the idea too, of posting extra ideas within a quilt-along - like a cushion-cover.
thanks so much for sharing all your gorgeous pics and for always being so encouraging to the sew-ers-of-instagram. Cat x

- Elisabeth said...
Love your quilt. I've been trying very hard to resist the call of the scrappytripalong but caved in yesterday and pulled out some fabrics for a cushion. Not sure I can keep to that if it 's that much fun, though.
An informal sew-a-long 2013 sounds good as sometimes it's difficult to commit to a big quilt and a time frame.
- 3 January 2013 at 08:57
- Anna said...
Informal sounds great! I am just venturing out to tidy the studio, but actually I am looking for fabrics to use in my ScrappyTripAlong! Shhhh don't tell anyone!
- 3 January 2013 at 10:56
- peacedgoods said...
sounds like fun!!! I'm comitted to using up some of my stash this year (and finishing my SV)so i gotta get crackalacking.
- 3 January 2013 at 11:51
- Archie the wonder dog said...
It's wonderful! I love informal QAL's as I'm so slow that everyone has made another four quilts by the time mine is ready quilt...
- 3 January 2013 at 14:08
- liniecat said...
A really great looking quilt to be, there! I have no idea what an instagram is and if its owt to do with a smart phone Im snookered but love the idea of the informal piece-a-long.......the quilting bit would take me wayyyy longer!
- 3 January 2013 at 17:03

Love it! Seriously, love it.
An informal year of informal quiltalongs would be informally fabulous!

I really love yours. It's so bright and cheery! I really would love the idea of an informal quilt-along each month. Instagram is about all I have time to take photos with anyways, if I want to have time to sew.

I loved your SV quilt and now I love this one equally well! I actually saw this Quiltville tutorial months ago as I frequently look at Bonnie's blog. Was tempted to try the blocks myself but resisted as I had too many other projects on the go. Now your group has set Flickr-land on fire making the most wonderful Scrappy Trip Along quilts I am finding it even harder to resist. Perhaps I'll dip my toe on the water and try a couple of blocks?

I have seen this sew-along pop up everywhere, and informal is definitely the way to classify it - how did this begin? Where is its home? How do I join? How mysterious!
Can I say how beautiful yours turned out? My favorite. It's been fun watching, maybe I will catch it in time the next time around!

I love it! All of it! The quilt, the idea of the QAL, and especially of a QAL every month (or quarter, or whatever). I don't get nearly enough time sewing these days, but I love to see what everyone else is doing--keeps me inspired!

Hi i have this great played mod for a while now and i have several questions about it, if some people don't mind answering them:
1. How can i form Prussia as Brandenburg, as i am Lutheran and have Ostpreussen and Brandenburg but the problem is the decision won't show up in the decisions panel, the reason i am asking here is because Brandenburg was in a personal union with Prussia, with Prussia eventually gaining control.
2. How can i completly expel people who are not of my religion (or force convert) or culture (or force assimilate) from my provinces, as i would like to have a empire that i don't have to play wack a rebel with, the reason i am wondering is because this normal in the medieval times (Specific examples are Tamlerlane force converting christains and the Turks in Anatolia force assimilating Greeks into Turks).
3. Why is the Byzantines in the same culture as the Turks as they weren't similalry culturally or language wise, if anything they should have more in common with the Caucasian states or some of the states in the Balkans and the fact that they are always fighting each other historically.
4. Why isn't there a Jewish religion, this seems odd because at the time there were a few countries with sizable populations of Jews (despite them being discriminated against and there not being a Jewish majority nation) or at the very least a few provinces with a Jewish minority (i also wonder the same about Jainism, Sikhism, Zorostratism, Shintoism as i haven't seen them in my game yet).
5. Why isn't there a more in depth piracy system, the reason i'm asking is because piracy was a problem in the carribean (golden age of piracy) and in the medittarenean (Barbary pirates), perhaps a system could be introduced where pirates have bases and perform raids on coastal settlements and trade routes?
6. Perhaps faction specific units (janissarys for the Turks, Cossacks for the Russians, Geonese Crossbowmen for the Geonese), as it could add a bit more diversity to the mod, with the units having their own strenghts and weaknesses?
7. Could different technology groups be added (perhaps Western European for the Western European and certain Central European nations to reflect the fact that Western technology was more innovative, North African for North African nations as they are more advanced than Central African nations, Byzantine for the Roman to reflect the fact that they were incredibly advanced once and the fact that the Roman Empire is somewhat different from it's neighbours in the Balkans and nations in the Ukraine/Russia etc)?
8. Could a "suggestions thread" be added to give people who play the mod some say in it perhaps.
Thanks for any answers that may be posted.

Success Stories
The statements below are from actual Bowflex® SelectTech® Dumbbell users. Once you've had a chance to try Bowflex® SelectTech® Dumbbells for yourself, we invite you to share your experience with us. For now, you can read these real success stories from real people.
When I bought these I was just looking for a good set of dumbbells. I never thought that the video that came with it would be so helpful. I learned that the way I was doing my workout was almost completely wrong. But know that I'm doing it right, I can feel the muscle building in my arms. Way to go Bowflex! Thanks for a great product!
Patrick W.
Katy, TX
Sometimes the biggest challenge of working out is just getting to the gym. I've struggled for years to balance the demands of my job and my desire to be fit. Long story short ... in addition to a Bowflex 7 Series Treadmill, I purchased a set of 1090s (with bench) in January 2009 and have been working out regularly since. I've lost over 15 pounds and am fitter than I've been in years. So thanks Bowflex for helping me find a fitness solution that works.
James I.
Calgary, AB
I am here to tell you about the experience I have had with the SelectTech 1090s, 5.1 bench, stand, and mat. I cannot begin to tell the world how unbelievably easy it is with this combination to get in shape and quick. I have cancelled my gym membership, and now do every workout necessary from the comfort of my own home.
Scott F.
Phoenix, AZ
I spend the winters in Arizona and cannot visit a gym, so I just bought the 1090 weights and 3.1 series bench. I absolutely love both products. The weights are easy to use, they have comfortable grips and look great in the stand that came with them. The bench is well padded, easy to move and sturdy. I would recommend them to anyone.
shannon s.
Queen Valley, AZ
I purchase my 552 SelectTech 552 Dumbbells set with the stand, bench and mat about two years ago and i have no regrets. I'm 61 years young and these things are great. You get results in a few weeks. I'm very satisfied. Thank you Bowflex.
Jhamal R.
Hackensack, NJ
I purchased the 552 with stand about a couple of years ago and it has been by far the best investment one could make, when it comes to fitness equipment. The before and after pictures I took late last year, to present time are phenomenal.
Tyree B.
Norman, OK
I purchased the the SelectTech 552's and I am very impressed with them. Changing weights in half the time, and I noticed that I'm getting bigger builds in less time! I would HIGHLY recommend these to anyone from the novice the the gym rat!
Jim H.
Mount Joy, PA
Dumbbells have always been great for workouts because of the different variations you can use...now hassle free!! I run and use these to keep toned. The 552 w/stand and bench...best money spent in years!!
Steve Y.
Excellent 1090 dumbbells!! I use the Bowflex Xtreme and the 1090's. This almost 40 year-old is in better shape than most of his younger paramedic co-workers. These 2 pieces of equipment are all you need. They work. Buy and see the results yourself.
I own the SelectTech 1090 Dumbells. One night while working out with them I had some trouble with one of the handles not wanting to turn. I called customer service. The nice operator on the other end helped me fix the "problem" in a matter of minutes. I was very pleased with the whole experience. The dumbells work perfectly and now I have a little more knowledge about how they work. That was great service and a piece of mind all in one phone call.

Easter is coming a little early this year, on March 31! Time to plan your Easter treats for church or school. These little birds nest no-bake cookies are a nostalgic favorite - use jelly beans, malted milk balls, chocolate eggs, or any tiny egg candies you like!
Wax paper
1 2/3 to 2 cups (11- to 12-ounce package) NESTLÉ TOLL HOUSE Butterscotch or Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

30 to 60 jelly beans or other small candy eggs
LINE trays with wax paper or silicone mats.
MICROWAVE morsels in large, uncovered, microwave-safe bowl on MEDIUM-HIGH (70%) power for 1 minute; STIR. The morsels may retain some of their original shape. If necessary, microwave at additional 10- to 15-second intervals, stirring just until morsels are melted. Stir in peanut butter until well blended.
ADD chow mein noodles to morsel mixture; toss until coated. Using ice cream scoop that measures about 2 rounded tablespoons, scoop and drop onto prepared trays then immediately shape into nests. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Before serving, place one or two NestEggs in each nest. Store prepared nests in covered container for up to 1 day.

When Adidas came out with these hemp shoes a few years back, they were given grief about it by the federal government and chose to rename them from "Superstar Hemp" to "Gazelle Natural". Regardless of the politics, hemp is a very durable and "breathes" very well as a shoe material. The soles are made out […][Read More]

Half the firearms in the entire world are in the United States. The rate of murders by gunfire in the United States is almost 20 times higher than the average rate in 22 other populous, high-income countries where the frequency of other crimes is about the same. There is clearly a connection between these two facts, but it is not necessarily simple cause-and-effect.
Here's one reason to suspect that it's not that simple: The American rate for murders of all kinds — shooting, strangling, stabbing, poisoning, pushing people under buses, etc. — is seven times higher than it is in those other 22 rich countries.
It can't just be guns…
(There are over 300 Million Guns in the United States)
But here's another interesting statistic: In the past 25 years, the proportion of Americans who own guns has fallen from about one in three to only one in five. However, the United States is a rich country, and the average American gun-owner has four or five firearms.
What has just happened in Sandy Hook, Conn., is the seventh massacre this year in which four or more people were killed by a lone gunman. The fact that this time 20 of the victims were little girls and boys 6 or 7 years old has caused a wave of revulsion in the United States, but it is not likely to lead to new laws on gun controls. It's not even clear that new laws would help.
There in lies the Root Cause of all Evil and Violence in these
United States of America

text: Black Friday Shopping Tips Category Holiday Season Photo Galleries Shopping & Style Tips & Hints To Survive "Black Friday" Shopping (Photo by David Paul Morris/Getty Images) It's that time of year again! But before you start lining up at midnight or raiding the mall, here are some things you should keep in mind! Trust us. You'll save money and time. You'll thank us later. 1. DO YOUR RESEARCH (Photo credit by TIM SLOAN/AFP/Getty Images) Start with a plan and make a list of things you want or you are looking for. Are you buying for yourself or for other people? Are you looking for the "doorbuster deals" or are you okay with deals that you don't have to wait in line for 7 hours for? 2. HAVE A BUDGET (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images) It's going to be very tempting to keep spending money all day, but you have to cut yourself off at some point. Know when to say no to those cute socks or stocking stuffers if you are already over-budget! 3. LEAVE SOME ROOM IN YOUR BUDGET FOR EXTRA GOODIES (Photo by Chris Hondros/Getty Images) Even with all the planning in the world, you are going to find something else that catches your eye that YOU HAVE TO HAVE. So pad your budget a little for those unexpected purchases. 4. DON'T ASSUME THAT THESE ARE GOING TO BE THE BEST DEALS YOU WILL SEE ALL YEAR (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images) Black Friday is the perfect time to buy TVs, laptops, computers, small appliances, clothes, and seasonal gift foods. Home furnishings and other items are better left for after-Christmas deals. If it isn't at least 30% off, you can probably do better. 5. PACK A BLACK FRIDAY SURVIVAL KIT IF YOU ARE CAMPING OUT OR SPENDING THE WHOLE DAY OUT... (Photo by David Paul Morris/Getty Images) Intense shoppers need to go into survival mode! Bring some healthy snacks, water, and wear comfy shoes so you don't have to stop! This is the for the ultimate SHOP UNTIL YOU DROP people. Bring layers if you are going from morning to night and even bring a phone charger if you are planning on tag-teaming with some friends! Some stores are even going to offer Wi-Fi so you can navigate the deals online while at the mall! 5. PLAN OUT YOUR TRANSPORTATION (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images) Are you going to drive or take public transportation? Maybe you'll have your friends or family drop you off? If you are planning on driving, know that parking will be hard to find and that traffic coming in and out will be terrible! If you bike, maybe you'll have too much stuff to carry. 6. DON'T FEEL COMPELLED TO LINE UP AT MIDNIGHT (Unless you want the hot doorbusters) (Photo by Tasos Katopodis/Getty Images) Contrary to popular belief, you DO NOT have to line up at midnight or wake up at 2 am. There will be so much stuff that the retailers are trying to get rid of! Trust me. You can still find good deals at 6 pm. However, if you are looking for the 1 of 5 doorbusters a store if offering, then you will probably have to be there Thanksgiving day. 7. SHOP ONLINE (Photo Illustration by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images) If you wake up early enough, you don't even have to leave the comfort of your own bed! There will be plenty of deals ONLINE the night before Black Friday, the morning of and of course, Cyber Monday. 8. STAY CALM AND SAFE (Photo by David Paul Morris/Getty Images) At the end of the day, realize that it's JUST SHOPPING. People have been trampled and gotten into fights over the tiniest things. Just don't go there. If you start getting stressed out, maybe it's time to go home. Or just take some time-out, get a pretzel, breathe, and think about the important things. 9. ENJOY YOURSELF! (Photo by Jemal Countess/Getty Images) Shopping should BE FUN! Go with friends and make it a social outing! Maybe end the day with dinner and a movie! Once it stops being fun, its time to stop.

Cool Summer Drinks
Fresh-Fruit Ice Cream Sodas
Puree berries, peaches or mangoes to make vibrant "syrups" for swirling with ice cream and sparkling water. (Or skip the ice cream to make refreshing fresh-fruit sodas.)
Honeyed Lemonade Tea Punch
Using Darjeeling tea imparts floral notes beyond what you find in ordinary black tea, which makes it a more interesting base for this refreshing, honey-laced drink. Keep the punch virgin, or add a tablespoon of vodka, gin or bourbon to each glass.
Watermelon Lemonade
Here's a new take on a summer staple, lemonade. Combine homemade lemon syrup with watermelon juice and serve with fun Kiwi Cubes or Watermelon Cubes (or with regular ice cubes). You can also use the watermelon-lemonade mix as the base for a Watermelon Martini.
Strawberry and Mango Smoothies
A little bit of honey sweetens a refreshing mixture of pineapple or orange juice blended with strawberries, mango and banana.
Berry-Mango Slush
Berry-flavored carbonated water and fresh mango and strawberries with a hint of lime juice give this slushy drink recipe plenty of sweetness without added sugar.
Cucumber White Sangria
Garden flavor infuses this refreshing make-ahead white wine cocktail.
Green Tea Soda
Brew this refreshing drink with green, ginkgo or ginseng tea mixed with honey. When the liquid cools, stir in your choice of fruit juices, such as orange or tangerine and lemon or lime. Add assorted fresh fruit and plain or flavored sparkling water just before serving.
Sparkling Berry Lemonade
Club soda adds pizzazz to this bright, colorful berry lemonade. Based on frozen lemonade concentrate, it goes together quickly for a party.
Caribbean Milk Shake
Think of this recipe as a flexible formula for making boozy, fruity milk shakes. Substitute black raspberry or peach cooler, or make with lime sherbet and lime wine cooler.
Lime and Cucumberita
Cucumbers add a fresh take to a traditional summer-cocktail favorite. Just blend with tequila and triple sec and serve in a salt-rimmed glass and garnish with a lime, if you'd like.
Spiced Coffee and Cream Sipper
Blend spiced coffee with chocolate, cinnamon, vanilla or coffee ice cream for a smooth drink that's served like a milk shake. Garnish with whipped cream, chocolate curls, a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a chocolate-covered espresso bean.
Mint Lemonade
Mix mint syrup with fresh lemon and lime juice for this zesty lemonade alternative. Our recipe also tells you how to use the blend to make Fizzy Frisky Whiskey.
Sunrise Smoothie
It's no wonder people love smoothies. Not only are they great-tasting, but they're good for you, too. Try this one with a sliced strawberry garnish.
Iced Cocoa
You don't have to set aside hot cocoa comfort in the summer just because the temperature climbs. We mixed up a cocoa concentrate, then added ice, flavorings and whipped topping or ice cream to create a comfort cooler.
Mock Margarita
Frozen limeade, grapefruit juice and orange juice make a low-calorie mocktail that tastes like a margarita without the alcohol. Add salt or sugar to the rim and garnish with a lime wedge for the full effect.
Summer Fruit Daiquiris
Choose from peaches or strawberries and rum or orange juice for this chiller. Then rev up your blender. Our recipe includes variations with and without alcohol.
Mocha Floats
The coffee-chocolate blend in this drink is refreshingly cool, especially when topped with scoops of vanilla and chocolate ice cream. The amounts we give will make about 10 individual floats.
Cherry-Berry Smoothie
This quick-and-easy blender drink, from the Michigan Cherry Committee, combines cherries, milk, yogurt, blueberries or raspberries, juice concentrate, honey and vanilla.
Fresh-Squeezed Lemonade
The recipe for this party-perfect homemade lemonade includes mint, raspberry and ginger variations. You can also add 2-3 tablespoons of vodka, gin, rum or tequila, if you like. A festive way to serve the lemonade is over fruit and colorful edible flowers frozen in ice cubes.
Another great recipe for a party is Homemade Ginger Ale Summer Sodas, made with a ginger syrup base.
Lemon-Orange Shakeups
This quick-fix summer soother is a simple but refreshing blend of lemon juice, orange juice, sugar and water. Just shake and serve!

Duct Tape
Duct Tape is the most versatile tool, one that can be used to meet the installation needs of all types of buildings. The duct tape offered at Westside Wholesale provides numerous features that can make your life easier. For example, such material is made from high quality polypropylene, allowing it to be easily torn by hand. It also meets the UL standards and is featured in a 2" x 120 yard roll, which is twice the length of any standard cloth tape. In addition, the Duct Tape offered at Westside Wholesale provides exceptional performance in environments where temperature varies from -35° F to 260° F.
The main difference between duct tape made from standard cloth tape lies in its waterproof features. Such material offers better adhesion and has a longer life cycle, which is yet another advantage you'll be able to benefit from. Because acrylic adhesive doesn't dry out, it can meet the installation requirements of flexible duct and other similar equipment.
Duct Tape can serve for quick repairs and fixes around the house, to hold together any damaged furniture, as temporary patch up job for your vehicle to cover the signs of an accident, as storm protection to hold together window's glass, to wrap punctures in household appliances and even as a first aid bandage for an open wound. As you can see, Duct Tape is truly a irreplaceable instrument that any house or apartment should have. If you're still not convinced, here is the most amazing fact about this material--duct tape was used by the NASA astronauts of Apollo 13 to repair their shuttle in order to get back to Earth.
Since almost all major building codes require this material during construction work or installation process of various equipment, Westside Wholesale's collection of Duct Tape can suit the needs of most demanding customers. Our store aims to offer items of highest quality from leading brands while providing affordable prices and great customer service. When ordering Duct Tape in a bundle with other items, you have the opportunity to receive up to 10% additional discount and free same day shipping.

How to Select
How to select Duct Tape
Duct tape is something we all use around the house or office from time to time. This is the perfect supply when you need to repair some item or device, install a duct application or simply paste something together. While we know what a duct tape is and what to do with it, not all of us know what factors to consider when selecting a duct tape to fit the HVAC system's requirements. This guide will help you pay attention to the factors that are oftentimes forgotten but help create better duct connections.
First and the most important factor is compatibility with the flexible duct and applications that are installed in the system. To know if the tape that you select is compatible with your system's applications, find out in its description what the terms of its installation are. For installation in environments with high temperature and increased moisture, ensure that the tape you are willing to buy will provide the same functioning as in usual conditions. In addition to that, see that it meets the duct installation requirements.
Next factors to consider when selecting duct tape are its durability and resistance. In order for your HVAC system to operate correctly, all of its parts and devices should be properly installed. Duct tape is one of the few duct mounting supplies that will help you with most complicated installation. In can be used with flexible duct, HVAC diffusers, registers, dampers, decorative grilles and plates. If you are willing to use tape to secure the insulation layer on the duct, ensure that it can be used in high humidity and not to dry out after few water drops.
Easy installation is oftentimes the most important feature of the tape. Ensure that you can tear it by hand and that such process doesn't require much time or effort. When you are in the middle of performing some duct installation work, one of your hands can be occupied. If a tape can't be piled by one hand and there is no one around to help you, you may need to start the installation process all over again because of such small supply.
Length and width of the tape are also the factors to consider. Wider tape is oftentimes used with industrial and commercial ventilation when a type of a smaller width is perfect for residential installations. The longer is the footage of the tape that you select the more time you will need to use it all. Besides, bigger duct tape kits are oftentimes better to purchase because of their low price.

Today's feature article comes from the wonderful Allie at No Time for Flashcards!
|Painting with everyday tools
You don't need fancy tools to have fun with painting. Painting is such a fun activity for young kids, they get to express themselves, learn about colors, work on motor development and create something from start to finish. But sometimes you are looking for something special and even though kids are usually thrilled with paints and paper it doesn't always feel extra special.
I get emails from parents all the time asking what the must haves are for a basic and frugal art supply list would be . I usually send them this list but always add that so many "extra special" tools and materials are sitting in your kitchen, playroom … even the bathroom!
|Painting with stuff around the house
Painting with new tools adds new interest for kids with novelty and sheer silliness. I don't know many kids who would say no to painting with their own toothbrush. Kids love silly and art should be fun so put down the shopping lists and start looking around your house and thinking " Would that be fun to paint with?"
Here are some of our favourites:
Bath toys
Toy Cars
Pot Scrubbers
Toilet rolls
Tooth Brushes
Potato Mashers
Fly Swatters
Cookie Cutters
Bath Poofs
Bubble Wrap
Baby shoes
Dish Sponges
Flowers ( daisies work great)
Can you think of some more to add to the list? Have fun!

Watters' vote is naive
Tuesday, March 19, 2013
Casino gambling; short-term gain, long-term problems
Watters and others among the pack of 16 who voted for casino gambling need to realize New Hampshire is not the Titanic, having hit an economic iceberg and with water flowing into its hull as it heads to the ocean's floor.
Nor is casino gambling the pot of gold Watters argues in his Community Commentary appearing on Page B3 of this issue.
While beat and battered by the worst economy since the Great Depression, the grand old gentleman Granite State still stands rock solid, albeit a bit more weathered. And as he recovers so will the economy and with it the flow of tax dollars into state coffers.
These will come from the business profits tax, from the interest and dividends tax, from the room and meals tax, from increased car registration revenues as more drivers buy newer vehicles, and from myriad other revenue sources that ebb and flow with the economic waves.
Now is not the time to panic. Now is not the time to abandon ship and grab on to the life preserver called casino gambling. Now is the time to call for calm, for Concord to keep tight the state's economic belt and to make targeted and judicious changes that won't come back to bite us down the road with the law of unintended consequences.

6/17/13 Kim K Gives Birth
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Monday, June 17, 2013
KIM KARDASHIAN gave birth to her baby girl on Saturday. KANYE WEST was at the hospital at the time. There's no word on a name yet . . . but supposedly, it'll start with the letter "K." The girl was born five weeks early, but the baby and Kim are fine.
Neither KIM KARDASHIAN nor KANYE WEST have commented since their daughter's birth on Saturday . . . but some of Kim's annoying family members have. Here's the rundown: Her mom KRIS JENNER Tweeted, quote, "HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, Kanye!!!!!!" She also said, quote, "God is so amazing!!! Jesus loves the little children." KHLOE KARDASHIAN Tweeted, quote, "I cannot even begin to describe the miracle that is now a part of our family. Mommy [and] baby are healthy and resting. We appreciate all of the love. More info will come when the time is right!"
The woman who accused KANYE WEST of CHEATING on KIM KARDASHIAN was LYING. LEYLA GHOBADI is now saying she DID have sex with Kanye, but it was BEFORE he started dating Kim. There's no word WHY she made it up . . . but supposedly, the "Star" tabloid paid her $20,000 for her story.
CHARLIE SHEEN is NOT happy that FARRAH ABRAHAM released some text messages they'd exchanged. He lashed out at her in one of his typically insane rants . . . and she fired back, saying that the drugs and fame had messed with his head, and, quote, "You sound like you have mental issues."
In the past year or so, AMANDA BYNES has gone from a seemingly normal former child star, to a former child star who appears to be on the verge of a total breakdown . . . and / or spontaneous combustion. But she's also gone from being a marginally recognizable celebrity to being one of the most talked about people in the entertainment media. So . . . is it possible that this is all a massive, elaborate stunt or "performance"? Amanda wants you to think so. She allegedly messaged a friend saying, quote, "All this has been an act and you know it. I'm an actress and know what I'm doing. I got to two million followers and now everyone wants me. I'm smart and not stupid. Everyone mentions my name. The world loves me!"
TIM ALLEN turned 60 on Thursday. And to celebrate, he THOUGHT he was just going to see "Man of Steel" with his friends, who'd rented out an entire theater. But after he sat down, they surprised him with an entire MARCHING BAND that walked through the theater playing "Born to Be Wild" and then "Happy Birthday".

I agree that Harbaugh wouldn't have come here, but it wasn't for the reason you mentioned. He wanted to stay in the Bay area, and I'm not sure JR would have been willing to put up the kind of money he was looking for.
Our roster was not bad at all when Rivera took over. We had a #1 pick, great RB's, what was thought at the time to be a very, very solid o-line, a great LB corps (remember, Beason was still "healthy" back then), and a secondary that featured Gamble and Godfrey (which many analysts seem to value more than we do). Our cupboard was far from bare.
Harbaugh has also turned over a big part of that roster since he took over, so it's not like he had a team ready-made.
That too, but I still won't concede that the 49ers had (and still do) a much better roster.
