NBC's American Odyssey attempts to woo viewers who have given up on the networks for cable but it misses its mark.
I read Love Story one morning in about fourteen minutes flat, out of simple curiosity. I wanted to discover why five and a half million people had actually bought it. I wasn't successful. I was so put off by Erich Segal's writing style, in fact, that I hardly wanted to see the movie at all. Segal's prose style is so revoltingly coy -- sort of a cross between a parody of Hemingway and the instructions on a soup can -- that his story is fatally infected.
The fact is, however, that the film of Love Story is infinitely better than the book. I think it has something to do with the quiet taste of Arthur Hiller, its director, who has put in all the things that Segal thought he was being clever to leave out. Things like color, character, personality, detail, and background. The interesting thing is that Hiller has saved the movie without substantially changing anything in the book. Both the screenplay and the novel were written at the same time, I understand, and if you've read the book, you've essentially read the screenplay. Nothing much is changed except the last meeting between Oliver and his father; Hiller felt the movie should end with the boy alone, and he was right. Otherwise, he's used Segal's situations and dialogue throughout.
But the Segal characters, on paper, were so devoid of any personality that they might actually have been transparent. Ali MacGraw and Ryan O'Neal, who play the lovers on film, bring them to life in a way the novel didn't even attempt. They do it simply by being there, and having personalities.
The story by now is so well-known that there's no point in summarizing it for you. I would like to consider, however, the implications of "Love Story" as a three-, four-or five-handkerchief movie, a movie that wants viewers to cry at the end. Is this an unworthy purpose? Does the movie become unworthy, as Newsweek thought it did, simply because it has been mechanically contrived to tell us a beautiful, tragic tale? I don't think so. There's nothing contemptible about being moved to joy by a musical, to terror by a thriller, to excitement by a Western. Why shouldn't we get a little misty during a story about young lovers separated by death?
Hiller earns our emotional response because of the way he's directed the movie. The Segal book was so patently contrived to force those tears, and moved toward that object with such humorless determination, that it must have actually disgusted a lot of readers. The movie is mostly about life, however, and not death. And because Hiller makes the lovers into individuals, of course we're moved by the film's conclusion. Why not?

The other day my sister and I were playing league, and we came up with the idea that the experience could be a lot more fun if we had other options for background music, especially during the loading screen.
She thought elevator muzak would be amusing, I just think the stock stuff is maybe a little too dramatic - and the people I think who would benefit the most are the folks who play LoL a lot more than I ever will. They have to be sick of hearing the same thing over and over.
Shouldn't be too hard to do, might make lots of folks happy.

X Japan Releases first U.S. Single 'Jade' on June 28
X Japan's U.S. fans are a patient bunch. You've waited almost two decades since the band initially formed for this moment. You may have heard about the influential Japanese rock group's L.A. video shoots back in January of 2010, caught the acoustic benefit show in July of that year, the Lollapalooza gig or saw their first North American tour last fall. You may have even read about X Japan founder Yoshiki in LA Weekly's "Best of L.A. People" issue. Now, the big moment has finally arrived. X Japan's single, "Jade," will be released throughout the Americas and in Europe on June 28.
The single, written and produced by Yoshiki, was initially planned for a March, 201
01 release. This was postponed in the wake of the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. The members of the band were in Japan at the time working on their forthcoming full-length album and Yoshiki, well-known for his charity work, immediately shifted focus to fundraising for earthquake and tsunami relief, his efforts inspiring fans.
"Jade" was recorded both in Los Angeles and Japan. The band is currently finalizing their next album as well as touring. They're playing a sold-out show at Shepherd's Bush Empire in London on the day the single is released.

Interest rates tumbled in the bond market after the government charged Goldman Sachs with fraud related to mortgage investments.
The Securities and Exchange Commission says in a civil complaint Friday that Goldman didn't disclose that a client helped to create and then place bets against subprime mortgage securities that Goldman sold to investors.
Concern over the reach of the ramifications on Goldman and other banks sent Treasury prices higher and pushed down yields.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note maturing in February 2020 fell to 3.77 percent from 3.84 percent Thursday.

GKEPA-You are obviously a Future partisan. Please name the "military wing" you are talking about. You can't call random unorganized armed men a militia. You call them a guerilla or a mob if you want. Michigan residents are not a "military wing" in their state just because most of them have guns. In any case, if it DOES exist, it is probably clandestine in order to avoid any accusations that the could show the Future Movement also as an "armed militia". Furthermore, who honestly doesn't have a gun in Lebanon? Your comment is of no value to the broad-view perspective of this great article, and it leaves readers in little confusion over such childish claims.Hitchhiker71-IMO, the complexity of the matter here is the fact that both the "Majority" -- which is no longer a representative name for what the governing party is anymore -- and the Opposition are not homoegenous. They both have 2 (if not more) dimensions: the local and regional dimensions. Hizobllah/Amal are the Shia constituent of the Opposition that may be playing the Iran-US game; and at the same time, the FPM are the Christians who want to claim the presidency back and make sure it goes not into the hands of Civil War Christian thugs -- as it was so well put by the Economist -- who ally with the Pro-Western government probably on common grounds of corruption. At the same time, the Future Movement are the Sunnis who want total control of the Government. They surely want to transform Lebanon into another Sunni ruled country as the rest of the Middle East is, while blocking their Shia rivals from taking their toll on the political life and distablizing the Sunni-led control over the region in favor of a Western alliance that pleases Israel of course. The little Christians backing the wobbly government surely want to make sure they free ride on the "Legal government" and insure they regarin control over the presidency, surely to protect their many interests, more than anything else. Their right-wing opinions and principals are in clear contrast with any of their present coalitions (Sunni and Druze), and are solely interest-based in my opinion. The many partial elections have proved that among the Christian factions already.

But in the end, it is sad to say, that it will never be a stable country. Unfortuantely, the only solution is to divide this tiny nation along religious lines, and hope the main factions can operate and live together as a confederation.*************************The Lebanese like to be called Switzerland of the Middle East but the very word canton seems to be anathema to them. Also they are so mixed and intermingled that drawing up the borders may easily spark another war. But I agree with the general tone of your comment.On the other hand with the Druze being already an insignificant minority and the Christian numbers dwindling the power struggle within the country is becoming more and more just another Sunni Shia mess. Contrary to the commonly held misconception many indications point to the demographic momentum shifting to the Sunnis. In Akkar and other areas of Northern Lebanon Sunni fertility rates are 50% higher than in the rest of Lebanon where Christian, Sunni and Shia birth rates seem to be gradually converging. In fact many Sunni areas of Northern Lebanon appear to have been already transformed into a sort of SalafiLand.On the other hand the regime of Bashir Asad in Syria seems to be increasingly more prone to collapse due to mounting socio economic problems (Syria is projected to become a net importer of oil very soon, maybe even this very year). One day the clashes between Sunnis and Alawis that we see every time in Tripoli may spread across the border to Siria triggering collapse of the Alawi regime and cutting off Hezbollah's lifeline to Tehran. On this day Hezbollah may come to regret its recklessness.
The piece is not always accurate actually. For example, the Hizbolla/Amal ministers withdrew from the coalition government only when the issue of the Internationl Tribual for the Trial in the Hariri assissination had to be voted on. The two Shia parties spent months telling intelocutors that they had 'reservations' on the Court's plan, but that they couldn't share these reservations with anyone until they are given a veto share in the government.
Another thing is the fact that if the opposition, particularly, Hizbolla and Amal really wanted to get rid of the governmnet, thr least they could have done is going down the parliament to elect a new president, which would render the government obsolete immediately.
Finally, there is no point of dwelling much whether Hariri has a militia or not, in either case it is none of Hizbolla/Amal business to disarm or attack such a militia, as this is strictly the job of the national armed forces.
Multi-ethnic countries are very vulnerable for foreign manipulations. Yugoslavia exploded because of Western support for the secessionists. Now Libanon is once again at risk and the West is again involved. We are loudly condemning the murder of Hariri, but stay silent when it comes to condemning the last Israeli invasion - that killed a lot more people.
I think the article hit the nail on it's head. I believe that both Hizbullah and the government are to blame for this latest chapter. Hizbullah should have no say on who runs security at what Public facility or Airport. The mere fact that there are reports that the Sineora Gov't is backing off on that decision is nothing but a reaffirmation of their Impotence.
On the other hand, the idea that someone like Harriri Jr and that Corrupt,(nouvous riche) core, along with some of those antiquated Feudal Overlords like Mr Jumbullat and Mr Gemayel can dictate anything to Hizbullah, is nothing but a Joke.
After all, Hizbullah propably didn't even pull out the Big Guns while going on this recent rampage.
Although I hate to quote Ms Rice (since I disagree with almost all her opinions and positions), these are perhaps the birth pains of a new Middle East. Fittingly, it is tiny Lebanon, beautiful land of the Cedars that is destined to be the First Born.
Peace, Love & Respect.
Good article. But you have missed several important issues.
1. Hariri (The Future Movement) does have a militaary wing and never been involved in the civil war. That is, no blood on its hands! That's why Hizbullah had no problem taking over the Sunni areas of West Beirut.
2. When Hizbullah's fighters took over the Sunni areas in Beirut, they destroyed clinics, social centers that belong to the Future Movement.
3. Hizbullah's allies, went on to destroy the Future TV and the Future newspaper buildings.
4. After destroying these centers, the pictures of Asads were raised. I never heard of "citizens of a country go on destroying buildings which belong to its opponents, and then raising the pictures of a foreign leader!"
As a long time follower of the Lebanese situation and having lived there for 4 years, I am very impressed with this article succinct description of the present problem with Lebanon (which was the problem with Lebanon in 1975, except that it was the Palestinians instead of the Shia attempting to gain power). But in the end, it is sad to say, that it will never be a stable country. Unfortuantely, the only solution is to divide this tiny nation along religious lines, and hope the main factions can operate and live together as a confederation.
Another violent outcome of Bush's attempt to bring peace to the Middle East.Hizbullah must be pleased with Bush's support for the Government of the day,because he usually winds up supporting the losing faction in the Middle East politics.
I guess KAL's cartoon this week says all there is to be said about Bush and his antics in the Middle East.Thankfully he will be gone in 7 months time when America will elect a new President, who will hopefully be a statesman also.America deserves nothing less.

Cosmic American Anniversary: Gram Parsons Memorial
Last Friday marked the 35th anniversary of Gram Parsons' death from a drug overdose at the Joshua Tree Inn, where a group of local performers and die-hard fans gathered to celebrate his life, as lighting flashed and meteors flew overhead. Singer Victoria Williams was there, a sparrow with an indomitable spirit. "His lyrics were so incredible," she told me. "When you listen, it seems like he knew he was going to die. Don't you think?"
I also met Roger, a Joshua Tree native who played with Gram. He recalled the star rolling up outside his house in a borrowed white Bentley one time, then emerging with a bottle of Johnnie Walker red in his hand.
"He used to play George Jones," Roger told a group of people congregated outside Room 8 � now the Gram Parsons Suite � where Gram's body was found. "I said to him, you can't keep playing George Jones, you gotta play something else. 'There are two kinds of music,' Gram said to me. 'And you know what they are? Good music, and bad music.'"
Then we drank tequila and talked about Gram some more.
Before leaving, I took a trip to Cap Rock, in Joshua Tree, where Gram's friend Phil Kaufman burned the his body, honoring a request he'd made on one of many wild nights they spent in this beautiful desert, all those years ago.

NAFCU Statement on NCUA Risk-Based Capital Video
Washington (April 18, 2014) - The National Association of Federal Credit Unions (NAFCU) issued the following statement in response to the National Credit Union Administration's (NCUA) newly released video regarding the risk-based capital proposed rule. In it, Chairman Debbie Matz talks about the importance of feedback and comment letters on this important rule.
"We at NAFCU could not agree more that credit union comment letters are extremely important. That is why we have requested a 90-day extension of the comment period to allow credit unions the time to evaluate a rule this important and this complex," said PJ Hoffman, Regulatory Affairs Counsel for NAFCU.
"Chairman Matz also stated that 'the overwhelming majority of credit unions will not be impacted by this rule.' This fails to acknowledge the full impact of the rule. As NAFCU has stated previously, the risk-based capital rule will be one-size-fits-all and create significant burdens because it will force all credit unions with more than $50 million in assets to adjust their capital, not just the 3 percent of credit unions NCUA currently estimates would be downgraded under the proposed rule."
"Credit unions with more than $50 million in assets will have to hold $6.7 billion more in additional reserves to achieve their current capital cushion level if NCUA's proposed rule on risk-based capital is adopted.
"This rule as proposed will have unpredictable consequences for loan and share growth, as individual credit unions will need to adjust their balance sheets to meet the new requirement," Hoffman said. "Given the potentially wide-reaching negative ramifications of this rule, we would support withdrawing it."
"If not withdrawn, NAFCU calls on NCUA to extend the comment period 90 days so that credit unions can digest the complexity of the rule and provide constructive feedback to NCUA."
The National Association of Federal Credit Unions is the only national organization that focuses exclusively on federal issues affecting credit unions, representing its members before the federal government and the public.

Gwen Stefani in Paige Sierra Overalls in Gramercy
Photographed while heading into a doctor's appointment, Gwen Stefani looked chic in a pair of Paige Sierra Overalls in Gramercy. This is the second time we've seen her out in a pair of overalls from Paige, as earlier we saw her in a pair of the Sierra's in Black.
I do love that Gwen has given this trend her own take by wearing them with the bib hanging around her waist. I also like that she's swapped out the flats for a pair of L.A.M.B. Deon Strappy Heels, giving this outfit a dressier look. She also wore a L.A.M.B. Dye 2 Match Sleeveless Sweater in White/Oyster and the brands Dixy Bag in Black Suede. Which of her two outfits do you prefer? Buy these overalls online at PaigeUSA.com.
Gwen Stefani in Paige Sierra Overalls in Vintage Black
Gwen Stefani was all smiles as she ran some errands in Los Angeles, California. The new judge for The Voice wore the Paige Sierra Overalls in Vintage Black with a sweater and a pair of yellow loafers.
I am not surprised to see Gwen wear these overalls as she is a huge fan of Paige and because there hasn't been a style of denim that she didn't love. I am interested in seeing how she would dress these up. You can click here to purchase these overalls from the Paige website for $279.
Gwen Stefani in Work Custom Boyfriend Jeans in Dark Rivera
Gwen Stefani got snapped while leaving Planet Nails in Los Angeles, California late last month. We don't get as many sightings of her anymore unfortunately, which is a shame as I love her style!
Gwen wore a pair of Work Custom Boyfriend Jeans in Dark Rivera with a camo print shirt, strappy heels and a camo beanie. This is quite an odd combination and one that I wouldn't personally put together, but as always, Gwen manages to make it work! I think that shirt would look amazing with black skinny jeans too!

Gwen Stefani in L.A.M.B Jeans
Snapped while heading into an appointment, Gwen Stefani smiled for the paparazzi. Gwen was keeping a low profile there for a while after the birth of her third son. She does seem to be wearing more casual looks lately, as I am sure her kids are keeping her busy, but of course, she always looks great!
While out, she wore a pair of jeans from the L.A.M.B collection with a gray tank and wedge sneakers. We haven't seen Gwen out in these jeans in quite a few years. Interestingly, she is currently working on a non-denim focused line with Michael Glasser (of Citizens, 7FAM, and Rich & Skinny fame.) It will be interesting to see what the duo comes up with.

A gap in trapping regs
As currently regulated in Pennsylvania, trapping presents certain hazards of which outdoor recreationists should be aware.
I discovered this the hard way when our 15-pound Miniature Pinscher, Beetle, stepped on a foot-hold trap set along a public multi-purpose trail in the Delaware State Forest in Pike County, PA.
What started out as a healthy hike on Commonwealth land turned into a harrowing experience that resulted in a $230 veterinary bill, a set of questions and some unsettling answers. Read more
Building trust in government
By CORA EDWARDS*
Given the fractious nature of American politics, why would anyone run for office? It's a question I've asked myself more than once over the last 12 months, and my answer is always the same: I love Sullivan County, I want to work with others who love it too, and I believe we can achieve great things when we decide to work together.

Frozen waterworks
As the first week of January winds to a close, we are finally getting some typical winter cold weather; overnight temperatures dipped below zero degrees in a few spots in the region. The cold was sufficient to freeze over most of the area lakes and some snow squalls moved through the area, a small contribution to this year's below average snowfall to date. Read more

Sullivan County 'strangers' help launch documentary
ROSCOE, NY — What would you do if two total strangers came into your town, approached you on the street, began asking questions about the place where you live and then said they were looking for a night's lodging?
That's what Sarah Sellman, now 22, and Greg Grano, 21, did when they embarked on a journey in June 2010 to explore trust, fear and hospitality across America and between Americans. The initiative provided the basic framework for the film which they are now trying to finalize, "American Bear: An Adventure in the Kindness of Strangers." Read more

Games children play
Most of the games children play seem to be "chase" games. Tag, of course, and capture the flag are standards. But then there are all kinds of animal-themed chase games like the self explanatory "bear," or a game in which one kid pretends to be the shark from "Jaws" attacking "swimmers" on the lawn. "Spy zombie brain hunter" sounds more like a popular video game than the classic playground girl vs. boy runaround that it really is. They are all variations on the same timeless theme of "chase" and "catch." Read more

Martha at the Callicoon Theater
The first time I remember going to the Callicoon Theater was to see a print of "A River Runs Through It" that the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance (DVAA) was showing. I was probably 12. Since then, I've been back a half a dozen times. I've always liked it. I had my mind blown by "Being John Malkovich" and snapped a photo of Richard Castellano adjusting the marquee for "Analyze This." The idea that a movie I am closely involved in would show there is a dream. Read more

15 hours to pick a front door color!
Hi there, I would love some help with our front door color! The house color is Benjamin Moore's Mount Saint Anne (a blue-ish/gray-ish/green-ish), and the time is Decorator White. We don't want black, gray, red or purple for the door, but we do want something cheery and a bit artsy (since I am a crafter.) Do you think one or more of these greens/yellows work better than the others? Or other color suggestions? (We are not fans of the bottom right color or of the top two on the right...)
Thank you in advance!
I agree with Chibimimi - my fav is the center yellow. Or, since you're a crafter, go across the color wheel and get a complimenting orange tone!
Inside my house, I have Ben Moore 'Wythe Blue' in a hall and upper landing. A bedroom off that hall in BM 'Ansonia Peach' - a historic color. As I go up the stairs and see those colors near each other - they are just beautiful! Not that I am suggesting that color, but blue and orange tones look great together.
Of those colors, top left green. I second the idea of an orange-ish door. Coral? Maybe a shade of tangerine? It's such a hot color right now. Pantone's color of the year and all, and I think it could compliment the pretty house color. It would be cheery, artsy, and fun!
Green! Though I really like the paler fresh greens on the left, I'm wondering whether they'd seem too bright on a larger scale. I'd paint a large swatch of each color you're considering on a piece of cardboard or a large piece of art paper or whatever you have around, and tape them up to get a better idea. I'm guessing I would end up choosing the darker leaf green at the bottom. The colors of your house and trim are gorgeous.
I like the yellow or the green to the left of the yellow. I probably like the green better. I think an orange would be nice but a darker orange. like a burnt orange. That could just be because I have those colors in my house though :)
In this pic from a long time ago you can see the orange of the DR against the family room walls of blue.....
Thank you SO much for the wonderful input! It is most appreciated. I know in my mind that an orange or red would look good, but it's just not "me." We are leaning towards the upper left green ("Dill Pickle"), but I am worried that it will be too bright. I also love the idea of yellow. The feedback from the neighbors is that this particular yellow is too bright for the house. Any other suggestions of great front door yellows are welcome. The painters won't be here until 10 am, so I might have time to sneak out for another sample or two. :-)
Thank you again!
Rich, golden yellow. (Since you don't want brick red!)
Or would you consider a rich caramel?
Or even navy blue?
Take a look at the two on the left, of these four.
I think your door color would look best if it's more saturated than most of the ones you are looking at.
Wow, I am SO appreciative of the thoughtful responses! Some of them arrived after the door was already painted, but I still read all of them carefully. Here is the photo of the doors in Glidden's "Vintage Yellow." (The side door will have a screen on it soon.)
The verdict? I like the general concept of yellow, and I think this comes close to the "right" yellow. However, I feel as if it might be just a bit too saturated: a bit too much like "egg yolk" (as my six year old neighbor says.) :-)
I have thought about just getting used to it. Another idea is to inquire ab out how much it would cost to do one additional coat of paint in a slightly tweaked yellow. A final thought is to change gears and to consider a darker shade of blue-green, a silvery gray or a berry (deep pink-ish red.) I am not sure we have the funds to re-paint!
I welcome thoughts about how it turned out. Don't be afraid to give your honest opinion! :-)
Thanks so much,
Though I was in the "green!" camp, I think the yellow looks great.
The difference between your photos from the other day and today convinces me that it's a mistake to rely on photos, and especially photos on-line, when making color decision.! In the earlier photos your siding looked more turquoise/grey to me; now, much more blue. Regardless, the outcome is lovely.
I like it. I wouldn't mess with it.
OTOH, there is a homeowner in our town who changes her front door color at least once a year. I even think it might be seasonally. Changes the surrounding decor, too, like wreaths on the door, planters, etc. I don't get it. Anyway, if you're unsure about the color and want to explore other options, you could be like her and try them all out by the end of the year. Ha!
Wow, I am SO touched by the positive feedback on our yellow front door! I shared the comments with my husband, and he was blown away. Wow, Garden Web is truly awesome. :-) Thank you, thank you!

Breakfast (self-serve hot and cold bar) is not available until 7 AM. To meet my work obligations, I need to check out and be on my way no later than 7 AM. The Holiday Inn Express, located within 2 miles, begins serving a similar breakfast at 6:30 AM.
staff very helpful in forwarding a FedEx that was delayed buy a winter storm
inadequate snow removal and clearing
The lobby looks nice and modern.
Didn't like that there was no microwave in the room.
Courtyards are always a favorite. Great location near mall.
Hotel employee to our activity, staff and guests very friendly.
I love how pleasant the staff were. Also the cleanliness of the hotel and rooms. The FREE breakfast was a big delicious delight.
I have no dislikes about this hotel. If there are complaints....people are just being anal.
convenient location, low cost
hard to set the thermostat to an acceptable temperature, only one glass in the bathroom, the place was advertised as offering a 'free breakfast' but it turned out to be extremely skimpy: basically coffee, muffins and snack bars--not even orange juice.
The heat worked that's about it.
No hot water, room was very dirty, no shower curtain, staff walked in on wife and I changing clothes and didn't even bother to apologize or walk back out.
Location was convenient to I83 & Beltway. Room was very nice and staff were helpful.
Size of bathroom - too small.
Don't have anything bad to say about this place. We got in really late and looked forward to getting a good night's sleep. The bed was very comfortable and the pillows were soft.
Wireless internet didn't work and staff was unhelpful; ants in the bathroom; cleanliness of bedding was visibly questionable
Clean, Comfortable, Friendly,
When is was raining you could really hear it, because of the drops hitting the AC unit. Took a bit more effort to fall asleep.
King suite rooms were very large, friendly staff, great location
lack of sufficient lamps/lighting in the rooms. Room lights that automatically go on with motion sensors at any time of the day.
staff were friendly and helpful, even late at night
hall light between bedroom and bathroom was burned out
tv didn't work- buttons on tv and remote didn't work, had to unplug the tv to turn it off
we reserved a room with two double beds but got a room with one king bed. nothing was available to switch to.
The water stayed hot in the shower.
During the power outage during the ice storm, we stayed here. We have a 10 and 8 year olds. We waited in a 1 1/2 hour line to check in. Our ice machine didn't work on the first floor room 1099 G. We did not have a romote for the TV so we called to have one delivered . 1 hour later I called again and 2 hours later the romote showed, only to find the TV didn't work. Because of the ice storm , you were so busy, we couldn't move rooms . Everyone was nice , and at least we were warm.... But it wasn't fun , especially for our little boys .
Staff was great, price was good too.
Convenience, wonderful staff, price.
Non-smoking room.

Star of Battle Star Galactica and Jeremiah
This is a digital portrait, not a photograph run through an art filter, but many layers painted using TwistedBrush Pro Studio and its myriad of brushes and blending tools
Photo referenced from photograph taken at SupaNova, in Perth 2009.
This looks SO REAL, I thought it was guache, or watercolour or some other mixed medium.. Exellent.. Love it, maybe in time I will be able to do it also..
Thank you. It took weeks to get it right.

Lace experts, can you please i.d.?
This lace is part of a vintage apron that has hand crocheted edging. The lace insert is separate.
Can anyone tell me what kind of lace this is and possibly date it? Also do you think it was hand done or machine? Thank you for any help you can can give.
Thank you Linda! I thought you might know. I'm clueless about vintage lace, but it had a certain look and feel about it that made me think it's special. The apron is very old, I'm guessing '30s or '40s. I don't have anything else like it. It inspires me to learn more about the different kinds of lace and where they originated. Does anyone have suggestions for websites where I might learn more?
If it weren't for the cloth-like leaves, I'd say it was bobbin lace. My daughter does demonstrations while dressed in period costume. It was a skill popular in the 1600 to 1700s and largely died out today - very labor instensive. A lace maker might produce a strip 1 inch wide and 12 to 20 inches long per day.
Bobbin lace was made using a large, round pin cushion the size of a lap pillow. the bobbins were pinned to the cushion and the lace built on the cushion. Dozens of pins were used to hold the various threads in place while the work was in progress.
Machine made lace soon supplanted this very slow process.
Was wondering about that too. You can insert stumped fabric onto bobbin or tatted lace. It still doesn't look crocheted to me. My crochet skills were never good enough to even consider making doilies or lace, but there is some needlework going on in the pattern not from a crochet hook.
Could be really old or imported lace somebody wanted to salvage, but an apron would be the last place I'd want to splurge with a treasure like that, given it would be used and laundered often. That's another reason I suggested it may be tatted, as it's sewn onto the cloth with a needle, and it was just a common art in the depression era and some tatted work does not look anything like what you'd expect. It was at one time a way to make fishing nets, and open lattice is not at all uncommon. But, I'm not arguing that view at all, just holding open the thought it just doesn't strike me as being typically crocheted either.
It's not tatted...the background is needle lace of some sort...that lattice stuff. the flowers and leaves are of linen and worked around the edge and the connectors ( for want of a better term!) are "worked in air" done with a needle.
As for being on an apron....why not? I have an apron made out of the rudest unbleached muslin with tatted edging all around...and lovely flowers on the front and the pocket worked in I think you call it a weaving stitch...I love it Love it! It's big and has criss-cross straps in back and you can put it on without tying....and I have had it for years...bought in a box of stuff at an auction.
Aprons can be pretty too...I have another packed away....think it has hand done lace at the hem...now that I know more about lace I need to get it out and see...
Linda C
Thank you all for your comments. Appreciate it. I bought a box of aprons at an auction, this was one of them ($3.00 for the box). The lace piece is sewn into the rest of the apron and the edging all around the apron is crocheted (separate from the lace insert). Many eastern Europeans settled in eastern Nebraska so it may have its origins there. I suspect it wasn't designed specifically for this apron, but rather a small piece that wouldn't work for any other purpose and so was incorporated into the apron and kept for special occasions.
I think the lattice is crocheted, not tatted because tatting is typically fashioned from a sturdier thread and results in a tighter design usually in rounds. This is a very delicate thread used to form the lattice. I'm no expert, just going by what I've observed in other pieces. Again thank you all for your input.
Peachydiva...the lattice background is not crochet I have made crocheted lace and while it looks at first like it could be a very very fine double crochet,,,I don't believe it is.
Would it be too much trouble to ask for a picture of the whole apron? I would live to see it...I kind of like aprons....
I went through the book "Legacy of Lace" ... looks like cutwork. Definitely a little more intense than most American lace ... the lacy area almost looks like drawn work but the more I look at it and compare it to other pieces, it is cutwork.
Love aprons. My favorite is my great-grandmothers. Just a simple muslin apron with white crocheted butterfly lace edging. She never wore it .. it was in her hope chest. We know she got married at the age of twenty ... that makes it 130 years old. Whether she made it earlier than that ... we don't know.
Lindac... I will post a pic of the whole apron when I get home. I'm traveling just now and don't have it with me.
Clink... I love aprons too, I collect them and have lots of very special ones, but none from my own women folk. You are lucky to have your great-grandmother's.

Rajiv Srinivasan: Iraq War Legacy -- Are Today's Vets Better Off?tags: veterans, anniversaries, Iraq War, legacy
On the 10th anniversary of the Iraq invasion, it's time for some perspective on the path we have traveled. We went into Iraq looking for weapons of mass destruction, then to avenge September 11, then to build a foothold of freedom in the Arab world, none of which seemed to materialize. Our military, though the strongest force on earth, was challenged in ways we never thought possible. The front lines disintegrated into an asymmetric war. We realized the shortcomings of "shock and awe" and began pursuing "hearts and minds" instead. But for all the comparisons to the generation at war in Vietnam, today's veterans have a lot more going in their favor than we may appreciate.
The pendulum has swung far from the post-Vietnam era days when there was a clear inability on society's part to separate the soldier from the cause. At Mai Lai, LT Calley served as the example upon which people based their judgments of soldiers. In Iraq, the soldiers involved in Abu Ghraib and Haditha were regarded as anomalies who were simply the bad apples who dishonored the good work the rest of the force was doing....

Random Thoughts
This last week was all about the comic books. I am just accepting that is what is working for me this year and not pushing anything else on myself. I am just happy to be reading! And, well, I am not sure what I am doing with Marvel Unlimited long-term, so I am going to enjoy this month!
Graphic Novel Year
Captain Marvel Volume 1
Secret Skull
Mystery Society Special 2013
Captain Marvel Volume 2
And then some random Captain Marvel's that would make up Volume 3, but I didn't find that...
Young Avengers - Volume 1 - Style > Substance
Young Avengers - Volume 2
Mystic: The Tenth Apprentice
Doctor Strange: Beginnings and Endings
Young Avengers - Volume 1: Sidekicks
X-Men: Fairy Tales
Young Avengers - Volume 2: Family Matters
Young Avengers - Volume 3: Mic-Drop at the Edge of Time and Space
Arana - Volume 1 - Heart of the Spider
Young Avengers Present
Really slacking...

Weekly Reading
I decided to revisit the older series since I am reading the newer series. I am not sure why they did it this way... The series that is out now is really a continuation of this one!
Then I read Volume 2 and a bunch of various comics that were crossovers and I am assuming Volume 3 potential. I am really like this series and Carol!
I really liked The Mystery Society and look, another series! This one seems to come first and explains a character that will appear in the latter series. It was a great read and I wish it was longer!
Another spin-off! Short, but good! I wish this series had done better.
I read this because Memory recommended it. Good stuff!
I was a bit worried about this series. I haven't had good luck with younger characters in series, but this worked for me. I look forward to more!
So I read, and enjoyed, more!
Why is this series so short!!!! It was really good and I love fantasy and it should have been longer!
More Memory recommended goodness!
More! Yay! I am discovering so much good stuff at Marvel.
So, I have discovered I really like X-Men. Then we add Fairy Tales. YAY!
More Avengers good stuff!
The end of another Young Avengers mini-series. I am hopeful that this series will get another revamp and maybe go a bit longer. You are kind of left feeling like you hardly got to know the new characters.
It had a female lead so I randomly read it. Good, but didn't knock my socks off.
This series gives a chance to meet the older characters and get to know them a bit better. Hopefully they do some issues on the newer characters. And then I am sure there are crossovers.

Time-traveling photons connect general relativity to quantum mechanicsSubmitted by marvinmartian on Mon, 06/23/2014 - 15:20
Scientists have simulated time travel by using particles of light acting as quantum particles sent away and then brought back to their original space-time location. This is a huge step toward marrying two of the most irreconcilable theories in physics.

Time is not a dimension, it is a function
Just because their math is pretty and internally consistent, doesn't mean it describes the universe we live in. Black holes don't exist either.
Magwan77 is right, it is an electric universe. The evidence for it mounts daily and with each new instrument they deploy, and Standard Model is so full of holes, I would be embarrassed to be working on it.
Our climate extremes are caused by the sun, and Electric Universe tells us why. Main Stream Science is still searching for dark matter and blaming humans for climate change, and apparently trying to go back in time. This is just another attempt to justify the Standard Model, and these scientists are misguided at best.
Stephen Crothers gave a presentation at the EU2014 conference that describes why black holes don't exist, and reveals why this paper is nonsense, for those who are interested.

This article is utter
This article is utter gibberish.
If you're still buying into the outdated flat-earth view of cosmology, you seriously need to get on board with the Electric Universe theory.
Cosmologists with their gravity-centric view on the universe got it wrong. Completely. All you see now are mathematicians trying to use mathematics to explain impossibilities within a broken theory. Einstein was wrong then, Hawkings is wrong now. There is no space-time. Time is not a vector within space, and you can no more travel "time" than you can travel any other abstract concept. There is no super-dense matter, no black holes, no thermal nuclear stars, no dark matter, etc etc.
Go to www.Thunderbolts.org or youtube "Project Thunderbolts" and start learning some real science about what space actually is and how it actually works.
sounds good
it promotes ground breaking research, free from all ties to academic, corporate, or governmental institutions.

I've been time traveling
all my life.. one second at a time.
I was always taught energy can neither be created nor destroyed. So if you put a photon in the past or future does that mean a photon from that time must simultaneously appear at the moment the other one time travelled? By that same logic.. if it were possible to send a human to another time, would the same amount of energy appear at the exact moment of the send?
Another question is if time travel were ever possible in the future would we not already see humans or is it that the future does not exist yet so only past time travel is possible? All of it gets very confusing. Personally, I don't think it will ever be possible.

I hate these articles -- I guess they're written for dummies
I hate these articles. They must be written for dummies, I suppose. Its a simulation, with no time travel even proposed, and yet the title suggests there is. Even worse, they reference Einstein's grandfather paradox, but that is a philosophical problem, not a physics problem. Let's see some calculations physicists are supposed to be solving to show this paradox. I've yet to see anything of the sort.

The NFL playoffs are now underway. Many teams have packed up their gear until next season while those teams fortunate enough to make it into the post-season are getting ready for some more football.
But what about the fans? Actually, the better question should be, what about the sexy fans? Which playoff team possesses the hottest of them all? Who stocks their stadiums with beautiful woman?
You are going to have to read on to find out. All I can tell you is that the top three teams ran away with this thing. It was not even close.
So if you are looking for something to do for the next few minutes, why not check out the Sexiest NFL Fan Bases: Playoff Edition?
