Fell and Fair
11. 14 April, Late evening
Late evening of 14 April
The calm before the storm.
I walk about the cheerless camp, speaking quiet words to my men. Few can sleep.
The untried youths look forward to a decisive battle, wearied of skirmishes and retreats, sure of the outcome.
The slightly older soldiers seem embarrassed by this conceit, understanding that the decision might not be ours. Some use charcoal to write their names and hometowns on their tunics.
The old campaigners hone their weapons resolutely. They know battle mounds are communal and unmarked — if any survive to raise them.
I seek my tent to write the final letter to my son.
My grandfather lost Ithilien; now Calenardhon also is forfeit. Worse yet, at last I perceive all too clearly how I was drawn into endangering Gondor's very existence.
My son must be warned.
I summon the remaining errand-riders — beardless youths, both! — to carry my last words to Hallas.
So many sons of Gondor squandered... but better these die riding free than ensnared here like vermin.
"The message is written in Quenya, which I believe the enemy cannot translate. Do you understand?"
The older one's eyes widen, but he masters himself, turning to his puzzled brother.
"We must not be taken alive."
Hastily, I copy Cirion's letter while he instructs his dispatch-riders.
Our plight is dire. You must reinforce Mering forthwith and prepare to defend Minas Tirith.
We are vastly outnumbered, trapped on the Celebrant fields by Balchoth to the south and Orcs to the west. I expect our last stand on the morrow.
My dear son, I hope that you might someday forgive your father, who so badly failed in his duty to protect the realm entrusted to him.
Valar keep you and Gondor safe.
I duck my head to blow on the wet ink and hide my brimming eyes.

Guided tour of the exhibition titled Economie Humaine, organized by Hélène Maslard, project manager at the Contemporary Art Space.
This exhibition takes a look at the relationships artists have with the corporate world and, more broadly, with the economy.
"But why this exhibition? To demonstrate that the economy is not absent from the concerns of many contemporary artists. To show how the artistic vision of the economy eventually "humanizes" it. By imitating it, by subverting it, by broadening its practices sometimes to an absurd extent, by making it a subject not of tension but of relaxation..." note Paul Ardenne, curator of the exhibition, and Barbara Polla, associate curator.
Among the 22 artists who are contributing to this exhibition, some are world-renowned, such as Hervé Fischer, Lucy + Jorge, Conrad Bakker, and Burak Harikan.
Sign-up is compulsory. NB: to make the exhibition more easily viewable, the number of visitors is limited.
The HEC Finance Club cordially invites you to its next lunchtime debate.
Denis Payre, founder and former director of Business Objects, and Vice President of Nous Citoyens, will speak on: 'Key economic and political issues in France and Europe'.
From 10 to 12 February, the Social & Sustainable Business Week offers HEC students the chance to discover solutions to environmental and social problems, through a number of lectures, meetings, workshops and presentations. A careers fair dedicated to careers in the social economy sector will also take place during the week.

Drew trying to restart his career with Red Sox
Friday, December 28, 2012
BOSTON — Stephen Drew is moving to Boston to restart what once looked like a promising career.
But the shortstop knows people will immediately make comparisons to him and his brother.
Before the injury, Drew played 135 games or more in four straight years with Arizona. His best was when he hit .291 with 21 homers and 67 RBIs in 2008.
Slick-fielding Jose Iglesias, 22, had been considered Boston's shortstop of the future, but he struggled at the plate, batting .118 in 24 games last year. He may also have been moved down in the organizational depth chart by Xander Bogaerts, 20, who has played just 23 games at Double-A.

WASHINGTON, DC—College advertising students from across the country will gather this week to present competing entries for the launch of a social marketing campaign to fight the dangerous abuse of alcohol by college students – also known as "binge drinking." The National Student Advertising Competition (NSAC) will be held in Arlington, Virginia June 4-5, 2009. The students will present their campaigns to The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, a national not-for-profit organization funded by distillers dedicated to fighting drunk driving and underage drinking and the sponsor of this year's competition. This year's competition is unique in that it is the first time participants will address a social issue to promote a positive behavioral change: the prevention of dangerous overconsumption of alcohol among college students.
The nation's premier student advertising competition, NSAC showcases the talent and creativity of individuals who represent the future of the advertising industry. Out of the more than 140 schools that participated in the district competitions this spring, 18 teams advanced to this week's final round of competition where they will present their campaigns to executives representing The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, the Advertising Council, a nonprofit organization that marshals the pro bono resources of the advertising and media industries to create public service campaigns, and the American Council on Education (ACE), the major coordinating body for all the nation's higher education institutions. Both the Ad Council and ACE assisted The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility in developing the case study.
"The NSAC offered The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility the ability to gain insight from students on what would be an effective communications campaign to persuade the people they know best – their peers – to stop engaging in dangerous overconsumption of alcohol," said Ralph Blackman, President & CEO of The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility. "Because The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility stands firm on its commitment to the 21 year old drinking law, we remain committed to providing students, parents, administrators and the entire campus community with the educational resources they need to fight alcohol abuse on campus. We appreciate the strong support of the Ad Council and ACE, and have been incredibly impressed by the passion and attitude the students have brought to this challenge. We congratulate all of the competition's participants and thank them for their hard work."
"Our student members have worked diligently on these campaigns for the past 10 months, and they have learned lessons that they can put to use not only in their future careers but in their personal lives, as well," said James Edmund Datri, president and CEO of the AAF.
The final round of the NSAC is part of the American Advertising Federation Conference 2009. The winning team will be announced and present its campaign during the June 5 keynote luncheon.
The following finalists represent the AAF's 15 districts. Due to their size, AAF Districts 2 and 6 host two competitions and subsequently, send two teams to the national finals.
2009 NSAC Finalists
District 1 Johnson & Wales University
District 2 The George Washington University
District 2 Syracuse University
District 3 University of Virginia
District 4 Florida State University
District 5 Ohio University
District 6 Columbia College Chicago
District 6 Northwood University
District 7 The University of Alabama
District 8 University of Minnesota
District 9 University of Nebraska-Lincoln
District 10 Texas Tech University
District 11 Portland State University
District 12 The Art Center Design College-Tucson
District 13 Hawai'i Pacific University
District 14 University of California, Berkeley
District 15 Chapman University
Wild Card Texas Christian University
The AAF's education services division annually coordinates the NSAC in cooperation with a major corporation that serves as the competition sponsor. The NSAC is unique in that it provides students with a superior educational experience, which prepares them for successful careers, and provides the sponsor with tangible, effective integrated marketing campaigns. Each year industry leaders such as Experian Simmons Consumer Research, Getty Images, the Nielsen Company and SRDS donate resources to the competition, so students learn how to develop a campaign using the industry's best tools.

Comments about Zirra:
As a very experienced white water rafter, he took me to get sandals for rafting. None that I saw appealed to "my personal" fashion sense until I spotted the black and polka dotted sandals in the kids dept. Since the store was out of them, I went on line and realized, as a petite adult, I could fit into the kids' sizes.
I love them and living in Malibu, I now wear them all the time!!.

Comments about Zirra:
I'm actually not a child but tried these on because I have tiny feet. They fit well, and were extremely comfortable to stand in. My only complaint is that the extra strap stuck out to the inside of my ankles-- the opposite of the Women's Zirra. With every step, the strap from the other foot would rub against my ankle which was rather annoying and uncomfortable. I imagine if you have wider feet this wouldn't be a problem. Too bad, because I loved absolutely everything else about these sandals!

Katy's continuing quest
I want a greater variety of extra wide (108") quilt backing fabrics. I want modern, designer fabrics to co-ordinate with my favourite designer's ranges. Kate Spain, Bonnie and Camille, Aneela Hoey, Lucie Summers, Joanna (Fig Tree) - basically everyone in the Moda stable. I also want 108" fabrics from Free Spirit....but that might be more of a challenge. Tula Pink in 108" quilt backings? Yes please.
Why do I want extra wide quilt backing fabrics?
It's simple - I hate to piece quilt backs. Once I'm done with the top I want it done and dusted. I also love the way it looks when a quilt has just a single, seamless piece of fabric on the back. That is why I use bed sheets so often - but bed sheets are not as fun as a co-ordinating print, are they?
So, a year ago (or thereabouts) I emailed Moda and asked them if they would consider printing some polka dot extra wides. My long arm quilter, who has been doing this for a while, had said to me that she hoped there would be more modern quilt backings to co-ordinate with the modern fabrics, but pointed out that it wasn't so long ago that 'fabric designers' as we know it didn't exist. This world we know is still very new, and so the companies might take a little longer than catch up in all areas. That comment prompted me to email Moda and ask the question. Maybe it was something they just hadn't considered. Seems it was exactly that.
Fast forward to today -
These are 'my' extra wide quilt back fabrics (not mine really, but if it wasn't for that email they might not exist, so I'm going to take part credit for them)
When I saw these on paper I wasn't entirely convinced. The colours didn't translate well, but in reality they are so good.
The ruby red is very close to Bella Solid betty's red (sku 9900 123) and reminds me of the reds Aneela uses in her collections and Camille uses in hers.
The lime green isn't close to one Bella Solid in particular - but somewhere around the area of amelia green (sku 9900 163), summer house lime (sku 9900 173) and pistachio (9900 134)
The black is just that - a soft black although not a washed/faded black. It's a really good black actually. (I'm struggling to find a stockist of it - when I do I'll add a link)
Steel gray is a medium grey, close enough to Bella Solid steel (sku 9900 184) - it's pretty perfect for any fabric collection.
Finally, aqua (which was the colour on paper I liked least but in reality is possibly my favourite) is like Bella Solid teal (sku 9900 87). It reminds me of Kate Spain, Sanae, and momo and also Aneela again.
Now, I need to talk to you about prices because there is a tendency to think 'those 108" backings are pricey' because you see the price per yard (around $18) and automatically get put off.
For adult quilts you need around the following (maybe add on an extra 1/4" yard if you're planning on long arm quilting or if you want to be extra sure);
TWIN 65" x 88" (2 yards)
FULL 80" x 88" (2.25 yards)
QUEEN 86" x 93" (2.5 yards)
KING 104" x 93" (3 yards)
Let's work on a queen sized quilt as an example, 2.5 yards x $18 = $45
Assuming you would normally buy regular width yardage for a queen, and assuming fabric is $10/yard (which is pretty much the average these days) you would need 7 yards of backing fabric, 7 x $10 = $70
So, the extra wide works out much cheaper. Even if you have a 30% off coupon for a store you'd be paying closer to $50 for regular width yardage. And then you have to piece it.
Want to know something even better price wise? Brenda at Pink Castle Fabrics has the dotties in stock (she is running low on grey but is re-ordering) and sells them for $17/yard.Plus I have a 15% discount code for pink castle fabrics (enter KATY15 on check out). Your queen sized quilt just got a back for around $36. Pretty sweet, huh?
You can find them here. Don't forget the code - KATY15
My quest continues - you can help, by asking your local quilt shop or your favourite quilt shop to stock the dotties, and to mention to them it'd be nice for more modern 108" fabrics that co-ordinate with the designer ranges. If they then mention it to their reps, the reps go back to Moda and the more people that ask the more likely we are to get it done. It will happen, the one thing that is sure about Moda in particular is that they listen. Jungle bungle is coming soon (Fat Quarter Shop will be stocking it, you can get them to email you when it comes in) - and that has 3 colours of a fun stipple type print. We are getting there - but the more choice there is, the better.

I love what you have helped doing and the cost is great but I hate to think what they would be worth here in Australia. Just to go to a local quilt shop and buy a quality fabric you are looking (on average) at $24 per metre :( no wonder so many people but online :o) I think the Aqua is my fav :o)

Lovely colors. I love them all. Definitely need some more good quality modern backings. My LQS has mostly paisley backings or colors that wouldn't look so good with the fun prints coming out. Not something I would want with a more modern quilt. I think if I hadn't seen your photo I wouldn't have bought them myself. The colors on the sheet are really off.
Just by chance I was browsing Missouri Quilt Co & checked out the backing fabrics & they have all of the Dottie Backings. http://www.missouriquiltco.com/fabric-by-the-yard/backing-fabric.html?limit=all

Connecting threads has some really nice backing fabrics too. Their fabric is high quality, and a lot cheaper than others. I think their backing is $12 (U.S.) per yard.

I love the dotties! I've been procrastinating for so so long about backing for my scrap vomit, the grey dottie would be just perfect, decision made. I haven't found anything else nearly as nice in the extra-wide ranges, it would indeed be great to have more choice. Piecing backs is such a chore.
Now I just need to wait for that grey dottie to come back into stock at Pink Castle Fabrics and I might just be on the way to a finished scrap vomit, hooray!
- 14 April 2012 at 21:41
- Sheila said...
Any chance you ever found someone stocking the block dots...I suddenly need some to back a quilt! I could use the grey, but the black would be perfection.
And I totally agree with you on the simple quilt back thing. I think other people's pieced backs look cool, but at that point in a project I just want to move on, and since I make quilts for beds, you won't really see the back anyway. I would love it if there were more options!

I too wish there were more extra wide modern fabrics for quilt backs! It's quite frustrating!

|Good question, I suppose I use it more of a point and shoot board I suppose with 9.5... As its too wide to race, so slalom doesn't really start for me until aboard my IS 120...
|7th October 2014 07:10 PM
Hi Guys, not yet tried the Techart, must admit that I only got it the other day as there was a big mix up on delivery address. Right on time for the big winds! I tried to post a picture but with no joy, basically it has a lot more rake than the standard fin so should be more slippery and therefore faster but maybe not so early to plane but then that doesnt matter so much with the 8.6m.
So Allan that ZF is basically a formula fin, right? so do you treat this board like a formula board and stick a powerful fin in it or like a slalom board cos at the end of the day it is a slalom board for all intents and purposes.
Off to play with the tri-fin set up on my new freewave, will report back on that and the 'US' when I have some info.
|7th October 2014 02:24 PM
Any feedback on the Techart RSL06?
I have decided after feedback from Remi to purchase a ZF56cm S .... He bought a 58 for himself and found it to be so so powerful for the board..
|24th September 2014 09:55 AM
|Hmmm bit pricy i think for what im going to get out of it. How did the Techart RSL06 perform?
|16th September 2014 11:24 PM
|Yes I am Eric although at over �200 they are not cheap, I found it gave me a little too much lift when using the 9.5 with the US in gusty conditions. Another option would be to get yourself a Techart RSL06, mine turns up tomorrow and hopefully will get to use it over the coming week. My friend is using these successfully in his isonic 130, you should find them easy to source as they are hand made there in Italy.
|16th September 2014 03:44 PM
Hello Eric,
Air density decreases with temperature. From 5 to 35�C it goes from 1,27 to 1.14 so your 9.6 feels one sqm smaller (roughly). Air density also drops with altitude. I've seen people windsurfing at lake Cenis in the Alps (~2500m) with huge sails though it was quite windy. They told me that otherwise they would not plane at all. Lake Trasimena is not that high I guess, but altogether it makes a sensible difference.
|16th September 2014 02:19 PM
Thanks for the fin advice Mcross are you suggesting i try a pre preg 58cm to get the same benefit as using a longer/larger fin? and Belskorpio i was thinking id try a 60cm of some sort in the future. I have noticed that with the ultrasonic because we're trying to get the most out of it in marginal planing conditions its very correct fin dependent.
Unregistered i thought the figures would of been much greater than the ones you quoted because the effects are quite striking especially the bouyancy of the board, not just this board but my isonic and my S type. To put it into context its the opposite to the difference when i sail in Dahab on the Red sea i find i can reduce my boards volume by 10-15 liters and thats going from UK fresh water into warm salt water. Anyway please don't think id like to get into a Geeky Tech discussion over this i just wanted to make a point that our kit works very different in different waters and climates. Thanks Eric
|15th September 2014 07:41 PM
The difference in density between a welsh lake and an italian one is going to be pretty small (10ths of a percent) and the buoyancy difference is maybe 1-2%. I can't imagine there is much difference in the salinity of the two lakes to cause anything noticeable Maybe my maths is wrong or the air density is the big thing that is causing the problem or maybe there is some other factor???
|15th September 2014 10:20 AM
Yes, I agee. The standard 58 Drake is not bad, but it can easily be pushed into a slip when pointing sharp. Even with my 8.8 sail.
With my 10.9 sail, I use a Deboichet R12 / 64. That goes very well. But I think it will be too big for a 9.5.
|15th September 2014 09:02 AM
|Eric, I have the pre-preg version of the standard drake fin and it definitely delivers more power than the standard one, maybe you could try this solution?

Comfy, comfy!
"At first, I was hesitant to buy these because of the price. But I really wanted a pair of comfy sandals so I decided to get them and I have no regrets! I know it's Winter here but I use them inside the house in the meantime. My feet are very narrow so the straps help. My shoe size is a 7 and I'm glad I read the other reviews and went a smaller size. My husband now wants a pair! I cannot wait to use them in the Spring and Summer! =)"

Another Place To Try Something Else
For my upcoming excursion I think I am going to go somewhere I have not gone to based entirely on what I think I would experience. Depending on what I decide, however, I might not actually be able to know what it's going to be like ahead of time. I have been trying to get more information about some places that I can go. Mostly, I just want to go skiing. So the thing is, I enjoy skiing and I think that there are some good places which would be exciting if I were to go there. Basically though, I am trying to find a place that I think would work well at the scene that I would like to participate. So what this means is I am looking at some of the more common places to see where I could go. Of course, this means that I am looking at some of the ones most people have heard of. The thing is, I am probably going to be going to Breckenridge because that seems to be a place that is good. When I get there however there needs to be a place where I can get my skis because I actually don't have any and I am going to want to purchase a utility. I' am sure they sell them, though. There is a place that will take me from where I am to the location called mountain shuttle and I am thinking that I am going to use them because that will mean that I don't have to get myself there. It seems like everything should be set. When I am skiing I think that I will be awesome because even though I have not gone on any courses like what they have there I know how to do it and I think it's just a case where I need to get back into it. There are a few other things I want to try but I want to make sure I can do the normal stuff first. Skiing is definitely fun and there are a few other things that I enjoy but mostly if I can I like to go skiing. And then of course there are some tricks and other activities you can do but for me usually just regular skiing is enough. That doesn't mean that I wouldn't want to try something else but you know its' mostly just like I want to go out there and have the type of situation where I am running the course and everything is smooth and I don't have to think about if I'm going to be trying any stunts or having to encounter that kind of decision.
Awesome Designs
Looking at all the different websites that are out there, I think it's pretty great that there are so many different designs. Let me tell you what I mean. Alright, so there is a lot of different kind of variety between different sites. I've seen some that are like really simple, I mean they are basically just some text and it's not formatted really, and those sites are just for information but they aren't supposed to be really fancy or glitzy. Then at the opposite side, you've got sites that are really nicely designed but don't necessarily have that much info on them, but are almost like works of art. And then there's all that animated stuff that looks cool but really doesn't add any functionality to the site.
Then you've got the sites that are designed to help you buy things. If you look at something like Amazon, it's got this huge list of books that are available, and you can choose the items you want and it will remember them and you can order them. That's pretty awesome. And then if you've ever gone on a trip and booked your hotel online, you probably used a website to do that, too, and it was probably pretty awesome that you could see all the available places online. Some of the hotel website design I have seen is pretty good, and I bet the hotel reservation systems they have to utilize in addition to the front end that the user sees are pretty involved. And then of course there are the sites that let you post messages to your friends and all of those types of things. I don't use too many of those, but I know there are a lot and a lot of people are really into them, so I guess there's probably some use for them.
But really, I just like the fact that I can go on the internet and see just about whatever I want, and get new recommendations for books and movies and that kind of thing. I know a lot of people like to use the internet for other things, too, but I mostly just use it to figure out what I want to do, or what is worth doing, and I will also post things that I like on forums although forums are another topic altogether because they can quickly turn into venues for big arguments.
Leaving The City
I think that if I ever move out of the city I am going to get a house with a big yard. Having lived downtown for so long it's almost as if I don't even know what a yard is like anymore. When I come home I go up to my unit and open the door and I have a nice apartment but if I want to do anything I have to go somewhere public. We have an open field nearby if I want to walk outside, but it is a public thing, it's not like it's my own little area. It's quite different to actually have an outside area that you can call your own. I'd like to have a deck, too, so I can get some benches or whatever up there and invite people over and have a place to sit. As of now when I invite people over we just chill in my living room because there's nowhere else to go.
When I get a yard, I'm also going to have a garden. I want to grow some herbs and many vegetables just to see if I can. There will be a few other things that I do, too, assuming I get a big enough area. I also like to grill, so there would definitely be a grill there. And so people could lay back and relax I would get some metal garden furniture. Basically, I want to be able to have my little get togethers outside.
But seeing as how I live downtown and work downtown, I don't think I'll be moving to a house with a yard anytime around the present. Unless, of course, my boss decided that I could work from home and would let me do it that way. I certainly wouldn't want to make the trip every day from the burbs into the city. No way, and most of my friends live here, too, so I'd have to find a way to get them out to where I live which they wouldn't want to do. City people like living in the city, and there's a much different feel out in the suburbs. While you get stuff like a yard, and grass, and a garage, there is less activity and that sort of thing and you've got other issues as well. The city is my preferred place to live, but there's lots of things I would like to do if I had a house, too. But there are a lot of things I love about the city and I have most of my friends here, too, so my garden will heap up in my idea list until then.
Another Post About The Internet
I enjoy blogging. And for people who want to get started, there are a lot of good options. You can try WordPress. You can use Weebly. You can use webs.com. There are plenty of good opportunities to blog, and most of them are quite easy to set up.
The reason to blog is because you enjoy writing and you want to share what you write with other people. You may have seen groups of sites that are all about the same topic, like maybe there are people who blog about video games or whatever and they all share tips and codes and stuff for each other. Or maybe they post screenshots or videos of how to beat a certain level or whatever. That's what it's all about is getting involved in the community that has the same interests as you.
There are a few other blogging options that aren't free, however. I probably wouldn't start with them because they cost money and if you're just starting why would you want to pay money to blog, but they might have something you are looking for so you can check them out if you want. I prefer to stay with blogs that don't cost me money to use.
Once yous tart blogging you may find that you will have a lot of stuff to write about. I know that I have had topics pop into my head and I wanted to type them out. And then there will be people's sites that you find and read and you like them and you want to read more, and that's who you know you've found a good site. I don't know if that happens often, but there are a few sites that I really like and I read them pretty regularly because the people who post there have some good things to say. And then there are some other sties that are just ok, and then there are other sites that are hilarious and I read them because they make me laugh. And lets' not forget you can also share your site with other people who can share it with other people and you can make new friends and get more potential viewers that way. I know that some of my friends are into writing online and I will read what they have to say and they read what I have to say and that's basically how the whole thing works although you might find that you don't always like all of your friend's writing, it's still something that you should read just so you can be aware of what is going on with them.
Forum Popularity
The internet can be a silly place. It's kind of like people will talk to each other even though they might not know each other online, and they'll still try to compete to see who can be the coolest person online. If you're a person who goes on forums you've probably seen this before. I know I have. People will post things and try to get the most reputation as if that actually matters. I mean, I get in real life that people want to have other people like them because you're around them and there's a natural desire to want to be seen as a leader, but online you don't even know the other people. It's so silly.
And while I'm making fun of this pretty silly thing, I find myself doing the same stuff when I am online. For some reason I want my answers on forums to be the best. I want other people to recognize my name and know who I am so they know what I say is legit because I'm saying it. It's hilarious because I don't even know who these people are but for some reason I still want to be cool on the internet.
It would seem that I'm not the only one. In addition to all the stuff you can do online to try and get popular, you can even do things to inflate your accounts on different sites. To illustrate, it's possible to find the best place to buy Facebook likes to make it seem like more people like your company than actually do. I think that's so bizarre. When I'm looking at a company I almost never pay attention to their number of likes because it's not important to me, but you can get that number up higher if you want. I guess that kind of thing might be important if you want it to seem like you've got a lot of fans or whatever, but I don't really know what else you would do with it.
I do like to post on different forums though and I have actually met some people from there that were kind of interesting. I know there are a few people on there who probably wouldn't ever want to meet someone online, but in situations where it may actually work out it can be kind of interesting. For example, there was one time when a bunch of people from this one forum I'm on all decided to meet up at this restaurant and hang out. It was pretty fun and I had no idea what would happen but most of them were pretty funny guys and we all had a good experience there.
A New Couch
My living room really needs some new furniture. I don't really know that much about furniture styles though and the way I decide what to get is by going to the store and just seeing what looks like my type of furniture and also what is comfortable. I always sit in everything to make sure it's comfortable before I buy it. There are a few kinds of furniture that I don't really like and I don't want to have one of those living rooms where I don't want to sit down because I bought some stuff that isn't soft. Having a nice place to relax is pretty important to me and I don't really care if other people like it or not. So one of the things I've been thinking of is getting something a bit more angular than what I have now. I have a lot of stuff in my living room right now that is kind of round and I'm not sure I really like that look.
Some of the futons I've seen I thought looked pretty nice and I think that those might work well, too, because they can turn into beds and that way I can lay down on them, too. That's one kind of couch that I've never had before because I usually just get the normal kind although I did have one of those where the seats recline and that was kind of cool So I think that I'm going to see if I can find a futon that will work and I'll make sure it's a good type that goes well with the rest of the things that I Have. Although it may end up being so comfortable that it becomes the main place where I sit when I'm in the living room. I doubt that, though.
My other idea is that I might want to get5 a new chair to go next to the couch. My living room has a lot of space in it and I want to make sure that if people come over I have enough room for everyone, especially considering that I like to throw little get togethers. I don't like it when people have to stand if they want to have a seat and if there isn't enough room then it's going to be kind of strange if some people have to stand. But for now I'm going to see if I can find something that will work and of course make sure it's something I like sitting in.
Running And Stuff
There is a place nearby where you can go and run if you want. Going to the gym is something that I Have been thinking about doing and I think I might go here and see if I like running and if so then I might have to join the gym and do some full workout routines. Lifting weights is something else that I would like to learn how to do and I think it would probably be something that I enjoy as well. I have seen some people around here who go to the gym and it just seems like the kind of thing I would like. Of course, I would need to learn how to do all the exercises because the only thing I really know how to do right now are pushups and I don't think that is the only thing I am going to be doing if I go to the gym. I will probably see if I can find a place that will give me a place to learn and then I will be able to get in there and pump some mad iron. lol.
I also want to learn about the things I will need to use to maximize my workouts. I have heard people talking about different supplements and I know there are things like caffeine that people will take to get some workout energy and then there are also things like those prohormones that were all the rage a while ago but I think most of them are off the market and that's not something I would want to use anyway. I think that I also heard about something like garcinia cambogia that is supposed to be a new supplement designed to help people lose weight but I don't know anything about that besides what I read. I will probably just try to do some workouts for a while and then if I decide that I would be helped by some of those kinds of things then I might look more into them. The only other concern that I had about working out was whether or not I would be able to do it with my headphones that I have. I know that they play music in the gym but I am kind of a nerd when it comes to music so I would probably want to listen to my own when I work out at wherever I do.
Cool Styles
There are a lot of cool martial arts movies, and I was looking at a martial arts equipment website called www.karatemart.com which made me think that I would like to take karate or kung fu or something. There are a few schools around me that offer that so I might have to look into it. I have never done anything like that before so I would probably have to stretch a lot and not be very flexible. I've seen some guys who can kick as high as their own head but there's no way I could do that! A lot of the forms and stuff that people do are really cool looking, too, especially when they are doing the jump kicks and spinning around and stuff. Breaking boards is another cool one although I know it's just done as a test and demonstration of power. Breaking a board probably requires some mental toughness as well as physical strength, and I'm sure it requires the right kind of training so you don't hurt yourself.
It would be cool, though, to be able to do that stuff. I don't even mean you have to go to tournaments and compete and stuff, but just learning the style and stuff would be fun I bet. Another thing is you probably learn some culture along with it, too. I have heard that some of the stuff that happens in a class is based on the traditions of the country where the art is from. For example, I've heard that people bow to their instructors as a show of respect, and I think that's pretty prominent throughout many Asian countries. We don't really bow here in America as part of our normal routine. So that could be kind of an awesome experience, too, to learn about another culture.
Anyway, that's something I'm going to have to look more into because I know there are differences between the styles but I'm not really too positive I know what they are and I would want to be in a style that is a good fit for me. Even watching demonstrations and stuff you can see that there is sometimes a big difference between styles. I think some might have changed a bit and become a bit more for show and the only reason I say that because I don't really have that much familiarity with them but it just seems like jumping around a lot and doing some fantastic looking techniques might be a bit more for demonstration purposes than for actually defending yourself from an opponent.
Exploring Your Psychic Side
Shakespeare once said that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in philosophy, and it's true that the spiritual side of life holds a fascination for many people. If you're seeking a deeper meaning to life and are looking for some spiritual fulfillment then you are most certainly not alone.
Getting in touch with your spiritual side can be a fulfilling and even life-changing experience and can take many different forms for many different people. Perhaps you've been feeling unfulfilled and dissatisfied in your job and have dreamt of jacking it all in and going backpacking to discover the world and yourself? Or maybe you have become aware of some psychic tendencies and capabilities you believe you possess, and want to pursue them further? Becoming a more spiritual person can take on a variety of guises.
Perhaps you have been aware of possessing more than the usual five senses for some time, but have never really explored your abilities, or perhaps you've never known quite how to. Maybe you often correctly predict events that are going to happen, or you sense when someone you love is in danger or upset. Perhaps your dreams often become reality, or you have a feeling that you've been to certain places before, even if you're sure you never have, at least not in this life, or perhaps you can find objects that others have lost just by sensing where they are.
Whatever your psychic tendencies and feelings, doing your research into how to make the most of them will help you to feel more fulfilled and less like you're denying an important part of who you are. You might feel nervous or embarrassed about revealing your psychic abilities as you feel you might be laughed at or doubted, but by honing and exploring your abilities you will begin to feel more comfortable with who you are, and it certainly doesn't mean you have to become a professional psychic overnight, if at all. For some, using your psychic gifts to help friends and family is enough, and for others still, it might simply be about understanding yourself better. But if you did decide to use your psychic skills in a more professional capacity to help a greater number of people, it is probably one of the most rewarding and special things you can do, so it's worth researching and finding out more about.
Headaches, Honey, And Reality TV
I am glad today is Saturday so I don't have to go to work. I woke up this morning with a sinus headache and I don't really want to do anything except relax around the house today. One of my friends said I should try a neti pot to clear my sinuses and sent me a video of someone demonstrating how to use it. It's basically a little cup that you pour into your nose as you tilt your head and the water comes out the other nostril. The video actually made me laugh a little because it seemed so crazy.
I usually will take some medicine and take it easy when I have a headache. Today I'm going to just relax for most of the day and play catch up with the TV shows I've recorded. I really don't watch that many TV shows, and sadly I seem to be liking reality shows more and more. I don't want to like them but I think I'm getting sucked in, and I'd say over 50% of the shows I record are reality shows. I especially like the home renovation ones, and I'm a huge fan of Faceoff (the makeup special effects one) and the fashion shows. I'm such a girl.
Every summer my allergies act up a bit. It's so random, though, like one day I'll feel fine and the next day I'll be sneezing all the time. I think that's what causes my sinus headaches, too. Actually, speaking of allergies, I recently read that local honey, meaning honey produced locally as opposed to imported from somewhere else, is supposed to be helpful for allergies. I guess it has to do with the pollen or something. I should see if I can find some around here because usually I just buy my honey at the grocery store and I'm sure that's imported from somewhere else. In fact, I also recently read that much of the "honey" that's sold isn't even actually honey at all, but is some fake sugary thing instead.
Well I need to finish up and go make some tea and start my marathon of recorded reality TV shows. If I feel better later I need to do some shopping; I've been long overdue to buy some new bedsheets for months now. I want to get some lighter sheets since it's summer now because the ones I have now are the ones I got last winter.

The stock tunnel brace on my Camaro was a joke. Was just a thin piece of stamped steel you can actually bend with your hand. The Spohn tunnel brace really stiffened up the chassis by itself and stopped the majority of "wiggles" associated with convertibles (before I installed the sub-frame connectors which ended all "wiggles"). I recommend this product.
Current Mods:
UMI 3-point sub-frame connector (convertible), Spohn tunnel brace, Spohn strut tower bar
Spohn Adj. Torque Arm - Trans. Mounted 1993-02 Camaro V8
This torque arm is far better then the stock arm. I had to replace the stock because it cracked and bent. When getting this spohn arm you can clearly tell why it's so much better then the stock one. Even if your car is stock its far to dangerous to run with the factory torque arm. In fact I'd say its life threatening. Oh! and I did notice an improvement in cornering.
Current Mods:
magnaflow catback exhaust, pacesetter LT headers with y-pipe, slp cold intake, spohn adj torque arm
Spohn Adj Torque Arm Poly Bushing Mount TH400 Trans. Retrofit (short tail) 1982-92 Camaro V8
I really love how easy this x-member went in and bolted to the car. The adj t/a makes pre-load a snap. The whole set up just looks sexy sittin' under there in black. The only thing I might change is the fact that there is no way to get a socket on the bolts for the trans mount to bolt it to the tailshaft, a challenge to get a wrench on it. The access holes have to be drilled out big enough to get a socket on them. Please let me know if there is a different way. I will definitely be buying more Spohn products for this dirty bird. Sub frame connectors are next. Need a good sized decal to put on the car also. (Wink Wink)
Current Mods:
496 Hp/542lb-ft 383, Wilsons Transmissions TH400 w/ rev valve body, killer shift kit (snap ur head off & put in the back seat w/a smile u cant chissel off) & a Wilson's 10" 3500 stall. MSD Digital 6+ box. Spohn trans mount w/adj t/a. Heddman full tube headers, 3" pipe to Super 44's dumped @ the rear floor pan. '88 IROC rear end w/ disc brakes, True-Trac Posi, Richmond 4.10's.

Carrollton, GA

I did my research before purchasing this Hoover vacuum. It was highly recommended by consumer reports and others. I have not been disappointed. I did recently replace the filter and again have been very pleased with the function of the unit.
Atlanta, GA
via sears.com
Disappointed. This filter is cheap and needs to be replaced after only several months. The one I got from Hoover lasted for over a year. It's costs more upfront but in the long run is a much better deal for the money.
Minneapolis, MN
via sears.com
The part that Sears has to replace my old filter won't allow my Allergen Filtration door to close around the final filter. I recommend going directly thru the retailer, Hoover and their website. It's cheaper and it actually fits!

French Toast Stuffed with Blueberries and Cream Cheese
Local blueberries are now in season here in Ontario. I have been wanting to do french toast and I had some cream cheese on hand so I tried throwing them all together. It was pretty good. There was a really nice compliment of flavours and textures. The french toast was nice and crisp, the cheese was creamy and the blueberries were juicy. It was a good start to blueberry season.
2 slices bread
2 tablespoons cream cheese
1 handful blueberries
1 egg
1 tablespoon milk
a touch cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon butter
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1. Spread the cream cheese on both slices of bread.
2. Place the blueberries in the cream cheese on one slice of bread.
3. Form a sandwich with the the blueberries in the middle.
4. Mix the egg, milk, cinnamon and vanilla in a shallow pan.
5. Dip the sandwich into the egg mixture and cover both sides with it.
6. Melt the butter in a pan.
7. Fry both sides of the sandwich in the pan until golden brown.
8. Top with the maple syrup.

Is it possible that they could have both returned to Italy (or somewhere else), until they re-appeared in the 1910 federal census?
There are NYS census records from 1905, 1915 and 1925...have you searched these as well?
How do you know with certainty that your GF was born in the US? May sound like a silly question, but what records do you have? Any SS records, hospital records, school records etc that provide any insight?
Also, why go to the trouble and expense of a judicial finding for your GF before you have nailed down with certainty the proof that you need (GGF's birth/baptismal record) for your claim to citizenship? Your GGF is the core of your case, so maybe it might be better to wait on any legal pursuits for GF until you have what you need for GGF? (Just asking/brainstorming, no offense intended by these questions!)

Pumpkin and Shrimp Bisque
The roasted pumpkin salad had got me thinking about using fall ingredients in light spring like meals and the next thing that I was thinking of was a pumpkin soup and I knew exactly which one I was going to make. There was absolutely no way that I could resist trying this pumpkin and shrimp bisque recipe from epicurious; I mean it combined my current obsession, pumpkin, along with one of my all time favourite foods, shrimp! I have a perfect recipe for a shrimp bisque but it is a little bit on the decadent side and this pumpkin and shrimp bisque is nice and light and healthy, comparatively speaking. This recipe starts off by making a shrimp stock and if you are like me, this is exactly the time to pull out those shrimp shells that you have been saving in the freezer for just such an occasion. From there you add the pumpkin puree, a bit of heavy cream and some simple seasonings and you are done. I served the pumpkin and shrimp bisque with a quickly assembled sage gremolata which added an amazing brightness to the bisque and a rocket salad with feta and walnuts rounded out a really nice light fall meal!
Pumpkin and Shrimp Bisque(makes 4 servings)
Printable Recipe
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound shrimp (peeled, deveined, and roughly chopped, shells reserved)
1/2 cup dry white wine
4 cups shrimp stock (or chicken stock or dashi)
1 pinch saffron
1 onion (coarsly chopped)
1 carrot (coarsly chopped)
2 stalks celery (coarsly chopped)
2 bay leaves
2 sprigs sage
2 cups pumpkin puree
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil

I probably have some info on Colorado books at home. I do have a bit of info about Colorado coal mining on my website at http://www.trentinoheritage.com/colorado.htm including photos of old coal mines. My mother's family was from Trentino and came to the US in the early 1900s to work at the mines, then returned to Trentino after about 6 years.
